    Default Useless Superpowers

    Can anybody think of them?

    Like the ability to fly...so long as you're inside of an airplane or helicopter.

    Or x-ray vision...except your eyes project red laser that points to where you're looking.

    Immortality... that only works if you're in a coma/ in tremendous pain.
    Bitter is the wind tonight,
    it stirs up the white-waved sea.
    I do not fear the coursing of the Irish sea
    by the fierce warriors of Lothlind.

    That's actually really useful. You could hide in a bag and when you are put in the cargo room of a bus, you could get out of the bag, steal valuables from the other bags and then return to yours. They actually do this in some countries.

    Also you could cosplay a halfling. With steroids, a dwarf too. I think it would be cool.
