Once, I wanted to annihilate all bedbugs in the world with a snap of a finger (I would even learn how to snap for this very purpose), just disappear them forever at my will. A single use power, nothing more than that, and I don't care what that suppose to do to the environment.
For some reason.
The power to be comfortable in any environment in just shorts and a T-shirt. No sunburn, no soggy shoes in the rain, warm while sitting in a snow drift.
Undepressable man? Optimism man? Anti-anxiety man?
If those are too good, then: Instant death man
Know how anything works just by looking at it, like Sylar from Heroes
Making inflated objects explode with my mind.
Car tires. Birthday balloons. Bubble wrap. Bagpipes.
Yes, I'd be a villain... or at least a vigilante. Don't run that red where I can see you... pop pop pop
How is this not an S-tier power? Did you forget that lungs are inflatable?
The power to always pack exactly the right things that I will need when I go somewhere.
Photosynthesis would be really nice. Even if it didn't totally replace the need for food it would be cool.
Control Minor Static Charges Woman. It would make housecleaning easier and my keyboards would always be clean. I wouldn't have to get near dust bunnies, I would be able to slowly guide them to the trash can.
As someone who's spent a lot of time working in a lab, the ability to control static electricity would be a godsend! There's really nothing like spending weeks preparing a new material as a fine powder, carrying it over to the weighing scales, placing a glass sample vial onto the scales, taring it, then a scooping up some of your powder with a spatula, careful not to lose a single particle, then carefully, CAREFULLY carrying the scoop of power to the sample vial -- then seeing the static blast your powder out of the spatula to coat the OUTSIDE of the sample vial, plus the scales, plus your nitrile glove...
I have trauma.
I always thought it would be cool to be able to imitate any sound effect. Totally useless but perfect for jokes.
Knowing where that super-intelligent snail and the immortal billionaire is at all times-man. I could hire myself out to one of them.
I just want to get the USB in the right way on my first attempt. Is that too much to ask for?
I wanted to reply with an image of USB C that appears Holy because it is your savior, but this was the closest thing I could find.
To be able to put together the perfect response for any interaction I ever have man
This one might be A-tier.
"always knows the right action" is a S tier power in the superhero book "Worm."
It basically meant the person could accomplish any goal, even if it took 1000 actions.
A Tier? AAA ranging on Universe Killer Tier. The perfect response becomes the perfect negotiator, the perfect social infiltrator, the master manipulator. He casually gets free coffee, he cajoles his way through national secrets, he convinces his landlord that the concept of income through scarce resource stockpiling is immoral and that they should see the property as a shared commodity. Genius
Having a hydrophobic presence covering me at all times, sans wanting to shower, drink water, etc. so I could run, bike, hike in the rain and never get wet, unless I wanted to.
Another fun one would be having the ability and skill to cook anything I want without training or recipes. However, I would gain an excessive amount of weight though.
I can talk to plants so they can tell me how terrible I am as a caretaker.
Perfect Croutons man, never burnt, always crunchy
Still Warm Coffee Man.
Hmmm.... I guess never having my shoes come untied. That seems B-tier enough lol
Perfect hearing man.
Might finally get rid of my tinnitus and I could hear silence again.
Ooh, I'll be Always-Remembers-What-He-Was-Going-To-Buy-At-The-Store Man.
