Not-So-Super Powers

I was once in a role-playing game in which one player had a character with a weird but ingenious superpower. It was the psychic ability to make an opponent lose control of his bowels. Although this was not a conventional combat ability, it proved to be surprisingly effective in dealing with enemies--especially those that were unaware of this superhero's power.

Some superpowers are obviously useless. Others may be effective in combat, but render ordinary life terribly difficult. Cartoonist Kelly Phillips drew twelve strips illustrating them, including the abilities of Wolverine, Storm, Professor Xavier and Spider-Man.

I hadn’t thought of it before, but how would Tony Stark deal with an itch while he’s in the Iron Man suit?

The Flash can run and react fast enough that he can see upcoming obstacles and run around them, basically like the whole world stops. running into bugs might be a real problem he'd have though.

Its snowed so damn much up here this year that this must be the first time in Ages they have released any significant amount of water from Glen Canyon. Lake Powell has been so low it was alarming to go there and see so much of the lake bed exposed. I wonder if it'll snow some more.

"... what nature has been doing for millions of years..."

Huh?
I thought the Grand Canyon was about 4,000 years old and was created when the water drained away after the Great Flood.
