Mediocre Superpowers
If you could pick one superpower that was "handy" but not earth shattering, what would it be? For example you could not choose to fly or throw flames, but you could choose to have your thumb light like a Bic. It will not let you save too many lives, but it's great for camping.
My roommate would choose the ability to write in the air. Leaving little bright colored words behind to dissipate after a few minutes. I'm going with the flaming thumb though. It's a good party trick.
Hmmm... what defines a superpower as mediocre?

It's all relative. Basically, if you can't use it to save a lot of lives. Like the thumb flame, you might be able to save a life here and there, but not a lot of them.

Since my trackback pings are busted at school (timeouts on rebuild)
"I’d like to be able to create fruit out of thin air. Who wouldn’t like a nice fresh orange now and then. Hungry? Want an apple? Here’s a perfect granny-smith, enjoy!
It might even help me fight evil! If I can make unlimited fruit, I can use them as weapons! Muahaha!"

i'd like to be able to remove hair with my thoughts. no more leg shaving- 'blink' and i'm ready for the beach. would it still be mediocre to offer the service to others?
