We've all heard of the [[Superpower Lottery|standard superhero power deal]], of people with phenomenal cosmic powers,<ref>[[Aladdin (Disney film)|itty bitty living space not mandatory]]</ref>
[[Rule of Funny|Mostly just because it's funny]] to list someone's powers as [[Naruto|"energy manipulation, one of the greatest healers in the world, super strength and...]] [[The Last of These Is Not Like the Others|can talk to slugs"]], instead of just "energy manipulation, healing and strength."<ref>This is a reference to Tsunade from Naruto.</ref>

* Tsugumi Ohba of [[Death Note]] [[Word of God|said that]] Shinigami, among [[Nigh Invulnerability|intangibility]], [[Flight]], [[Evil Eye|the ability to see names above people's heads]] can also... taste. It should be noted that they don't need to eat.
** [[Fridge Brilliance|...Thus explaining why Ryuk loves to eat apples]].
* The skill set of Negi in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]!'' includes various [[Blow You Away|wind]] and [[Shock and Awe|lightning]] spells, [[Status Buff
** Negi has a secondary one involving {{spoiler|his artifact, which borrows the powers of his partners. This includes [[Telepathy]], [[Anti-Magic]], a [[Great Big Book of Everything]], etc. It also includes a [[Magical Girl]] staff that allows him to [[Extreme Graphical Representation|surf the internet]].}}
** Then there's Jack Rakan, whose portfolio includes [[Super Strength]], invincibility, ability to [[Crazy Awesome|disregard the laws of physics]], and... can [[The Nose Knows|locate enemies with alarming precision by the scent of their panties]]. Which [[Panty Thief|he stole right off of them]].
* Luca of ''[[Saint Beast]]'' gets flight, strength, and the ability to read minds via his fingertips. In a different story one might be able to find meaningful uses for this, but in the actual series the only thing he can use it for is to read his boyfriend's

* Angel from ''[[Maximum Ride]]'' has [[Flying Brick|Super Strength, Flight,]] Telepathy, borderline [[Mind Control]], and... can talk to fish.
** Don't forget Nudge, who can sense stuff about people through what they've touched (
*** It was probably pointed out that being magnetic and having to touch computers (to get passwords) don't mix.
* The Sleeper from ''[[Wild Cards]]'' gained a new form and powers every time he woke up. However, one power stayed with him: He could generate sad piano background music by saying [[Beam Me Up, Scotty|'Play it again, Sam']].
Line 136:
** This is used to great effect to annoy the muscular Knight of Vengeance Frost who apparently doesn't believe that [[Real Men Wear Pink]]. Considering Irma is the comic relief of the team this could almost count as [[Personality Powers]].
* Lampshaded in ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures]]'', where the villains split the 12 talismans between the four of them, letting them rob banks with super strength, laser eyes, and the ability to turn cops into chickens, among other things. Finn, however, gets the powers of astral projection, motion-to-the-motionless and balance (spiritual, sadly). Luckily, he complains enough so that comparatively-[[Badass Normal]] Hak Fu trades with him... and then he makes a ''second'' trade with Ratso when this gives him flight and ''two'' healing powers (which later turns out to not actually be redundant).
** The show partially subverts this, as the form-shifting talisman (the above-mentioned turn-people-to-animals one) is made MUCH more useful than it would be in other shows. Such as when Jade turns Jackie into a
* ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'': Noticing that his parents have to work all day and are too tired for him when they get home, Timmy wishes to his fairy godparents that his parents were superheroes and "toss in whatever superpowers they can think off". Standard powers: superstrength, flight, morphing powers, heat vision and superspeed. Stranger but no less practical powers: spider snot. And then there's meat vision.
** They also turn out to have immunity to magic, which becomes a problem when he wants to hit the [[Reset Button]].
* ''[[South Park]]'' featured Captain Hindsight. Not only can he fly, but he also has... extraordinary hindsight. This is treated as [[Cursed with Awesome]].
* [[Lilo and Stitch|Stitch]] has super strength, a super-retentive brain (can learn any language, alien, human, or otherwise, in a very brief time period), agility, quick
* [[Superman]] has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5N-jh8ars8 precise muscle control.]
** Actually more useful than you might think. If he didn't have precise muscle control, he wouldn't be able to be [[Secret Identity|Clark Kent]] convincingly.
