    If we don't like something, collectively, if our hatred for it throbs like an abscess beneath every thread, does that mean that they're doing something right?

          Does insomnia count as a crappy super power?

            If you could deprive others of sleep as well, then maybe not so crappy.

                    Being able to recognize and pronounce any word/phrase/sentence of any language completely fluently and with the appropriate accent, yet still not knowing what any of it means.

                      If it does, then my "wakes up and goes to sleep at different times every day, cycling over a span of weeks" is truly the crappiest super power.

                      Also, the ability to make anything %10 larger or smaller than it already is.

                          I am aware that there is a very subtle distinction, but for all practical purposes the distinction is meaningless. You came up with something practical, albeit on the level of "the ability to banish any insects within a x radius of me to a random location within a y radius of me, subtracting the area within x radius of me; y > x, and this works on a two-dimensional plane only so I don't accidentally warp any cockroaches over my head."

                          Now, if you want a really crappy super power, how about the ability to turn anything you touch in to go-

                            Knowing that a bunch of squiggly lines produce such-and-such string of syllables isn't the same as knowing what the word actually means.

                            The power basically adds up to being able to read anything out loud.

                              Why does this topic make me remember "Artie The Strongest Man in the World" from "Pete & Pete"?
