Forum Games

Okay, so this is a game my sister and I play when we're bored. One of us names a terrible super power and the other one has to find a way to make the power work or make it benefit the owner somehow. Then we take turns going back and forth like that. So for instance:

"The power to talk to furniture."
"Talk to the furniture in government buildings and use what they've seen for espionage. What about the power to fly, but only for a few seconds at a time?"
"Become a successful Olympic long-jumper." etc...

The only rule we've set up is the answer to the bad power can't be "become a youtuber/join a freak show," because that's too easy and it's boring. Any other answer, as long as it's creative, works.

I'll start us off with a bad super power:

The ability to turn anything pink.

@AmethystRose1958

Get a really gross cheap colour of fabric, make a cute dress out of it, turn it pink, profit!

Next: The ability to always turn schoolwork in on time.

@Kitten36

Now I won’t lose credits for turning in my homework late, I’ll only lose them for being an idiot!

Next: The ability to glow

@DisastrousAbsol

Oh man. Everyone would want you for plays and such. Cool glowing person, no technology tricks needed! Also, a small business where people pay you to see you glow.

The power to turn anything into a snail.

@QuartzDragons
Is there a boulder blocking your path? Turn it into a snail. Someone being annoying? Turn them into a snail. It's that easy.

Hmm... How about being able to make balloons appear out of nowhere?

@flarethedragon

you'd make a killing as a clown at kid's parties, nobody would be able to compete with you!

how about the power to give someone the hiccups?

@bottlestreet

Someone's diaphragm broken? Their lungs not working properly? Choking? Boom, now they have the hiccups and you saved their breathing bits because everything has to be in working order to hiccup.

Try: the power to attract any nearby things small enough to fit in your hand.

@AmethystRose1958

Well... money is small, isn’t it? Hehe...
If you want to be more creative you could attract things like precious gems or historical coins/artifacts out of the ground to sell.

The power to make anybody spin in a circle for 5 seconds at any time

@Missycruelwolf

That would be great if you were an olympic figure skater. Just spin for five seconds perfectly. Or make a competitor spin for too long so they lose their rhythm.

The ability to recognize the exact mass of salt in anything you eat.

@gula

you know how royalty used to have tasters to check for poison...you could be the personal dietitian for a very rich and eccentric person on a strict diet maybe???

power: the ability to turn your hands into staplers at will
