[You have to figure that, for every superhero that gets the power to fly or throw fireballs, there have to be about a hundred that get crappy superpowers. Most probably keep their powers to themselves to avoid ridicule. What ARE these powers? I’d imagine that the worst superpowers would be:]
The power to turn gold into kale.
The ability to see five minutes into the past.
The ability to turn shirts inside out with just the power of your mind.
The power to hold your urine for thirty hours.
The capability to turn translucent at will.
The ability to transform yourself into any bacteria.
A magical sword that cuts through butter like it was steel.
The ability to generate kidney stones at will.
The power to create book reports three times faster than any other human being.
The ability to make anyone’s hands turn purple.
The power to bring consensus to a group of mice.
The psychic ability to make evil-doers forget the last four digits of their social security number.
Potatoes and the Promise of More Potatoes 
The power to sniff out noxious odours?

And, don’t tell me you can’t find the noxious odors before your husband notices because, half the time, the noxious odor IS the husband. I speak from experience…

Some of these look like they might belong in Xanth..
“The power to hold your urine for thirty hours.” reminds me of the gaming console run by urine. Apparently you peed into special shoes which generated power for your game. Shudder.

I think it was that book…She wore glasses and I think her name was Jenny. When I’m in Oregon, I read them usually once a year. Of at least I read my favorite ones!

The ability to see five minutes into the past could come in handy in a few situations… Very funny though!

Oh, several people have pointed out the flaws in this list. Nothing is debated more hotly than superhero fiction. Why that is, I do not know… YET.

That first one got an LOL out of me. I wish I’d come up with it…
Sadly, the invisible when no one is looking was already used in the movie Mystery Men…

I just thought of another use of this power. You can mimmick the movement of those Weeping Angels from Doctor Who.
