* Just how pervasive is this trope? Well, recently on ''[[Homestar Runner]]'', StrongBad got an [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail192.html email] asking what he would do if he had [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|the ability to transform]]. StrongBad ''immediately'' assumes that he'd have to somehow be Blessed With Suck:
{{quote| "If comic books, cartoons, and Sci-Fi Original Movies have taught me anything, it's that shapeshifting comes with a bunch of boring rules and restrictions that limit its potential Turn-Into-A-Bulldozer-Whenever-I-Wantity. You can turn into a machine gun but not bullets, [[Weaksauce Weakness|contemporary jazz]] turns you back to normal, you can only turn into [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|presents your grandma's knitted for you]]. Crap like that. For example, let's say I could turn into any species... OF '''BALLOON''' ANIMAL!!??"}}
* The trait positive girls from ''[[Lonelygirl15]]'' have a significantly longer lifespan than the average person due to the [[Techno Babble|number of ribozymes in their blood which catalyse their own synthesis]]. Unfortunately, there are some people would like to take that blood for themselves, so, essentially, to be trait positive is to be forever on the run from people who want to kill you.
* Moist from ''[[Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog|Dr. Horrible]]'' is an example of the first variation of this. His 'power" is that he is constantly damp. All he's really useful for is...well...making things soggy. In his own words: "At my most badass I make people feel like they wanna take a shower."
