I think you have soda pop under some of your keyboard there. You didn't tell me very much about your U.O. Does it have to do with camping? I have a useful superpower of being invisible while sleeping on a cot while camping. If an axe murderer comes into my campsite, he will get my sister first (or only!) I hope your U.O. doesn't involve email from a new friend with bad spelling. If it does, just do whatever they say.

Without any collateral information, Knitting Kninja is pretty sure that the best superpower of all is : the power to make voice boxes cease to work at mental command. Especially useful on the bus, I'm pretty sure it can be used to train loud cussers to be either quieter cussers or non cussers. Or else their heads might explode, which would be OK too (move seats first, secretive but inquisitive reader). Some people get very uneasy about the possession and use of this superpower, specifically because it involves controlling others/playing god, a little too much for them. I suggest the trial version for them; they mute every other word. Surprisingly, it is even more interesting and nearly as effective after the half muted entity figures out the pattern, although the trial half power version has no effect on small children saying "Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom." Ignore them, and then suddenly scream "whuuUUUUUT?"
