    Mind control is basically every power. Because if people believe something to be true, it is. Wanna fly, make the population think you just did. Invisible, same.

    Downside is, you know the FACTUAL truth.

    Worst superpower? I donno, farting every time you blink.

      Until someone asks you to fly so as to save lil timmy or something. Eventually, they’re going to figure that out. Can’t keep faking all the existence of all the lil’ timmies you “rescued”.

      Explosive snot. Rocket powered flatulence. Meidas Touch*.

      *I mean think about it. You can’t live off gold. everythign you touch turns to gold, so no food for you. Also. No sex for you… cuz, like… yeah. on the plus side, all the plus side, you could have a gawdy collection of statues of all the people you don’t like.
