I always love to think about what it would be like to have a superpower and which superpower would be the most awesome to have. You would think that just having a superpower would be balls to the wall awesome, but then I really thought about it. Not all superpowers are great to have. Just think about the Skittles commercial where the guy turns everything he touches into Skittles. While you don’t have to worry about going hungry or ever experiencing a Skittles famine, you would have to worry about rotting your teeth and maybe turning your beloved pet into a tasty rainbow that people eat.
So, what I would like to know is what would be the worst superpower to have. For example, being able to tell when someone farts within a 25-foot radius, hell, even a 5-foot radius and being able to smell it always would be a terrible power to possess. There goes your dating life. You would become really close with your date really fast or else just upset them by looking disgusted and/or laughing at them. And don’t say you never fart. Everybody does it, it’s a part of life – I know you fart. However, that doesn’t mean you should have to spend your whole life knowing when someone else does it. It might just drive you to seclusion. A lone hermit, crazed over the idea of protecting yourself from the potential of smelling someone else’s fart. Of course, you could always have some fun with it by pointing it out to other people or that person who did it and embarrass them horribly. If you have to know, why shouldn’t everyone else know?
Enough about farts. Even as awful as that would be, I don’t think that it is the worst superpower in the world. So I ask you, what do you think would be the worst superpower in the world? Would you rather possess any superpower, even if it is a terrible one, or have none at all?
I HAVE PRIZES! If your reply makes me laugh or makes me think that it really is the worst superpower, you could receive a copy of the Tunnel Rats DVD or a box of Comic-Con 2009 swag.

Killing whatever’s in front of you by blinking – life would be a Herculean stare contest that lasts forever. This entry has a tragic edge ;o)
PoopTrain, the mutant whose power is to excrete entire subway cars.
The uncontrollable power to make any male animal fall in lust with you, especially 450 pound male silverback gorillas. You name would be Captain Donkey Kong (a.k.a. Professor Please-Kill-Me-Now).
