The poster before you is a superhero. But all superheros also have weaknesses.

1) What is the above poster's superpower?

2) What is their weakness?

The above poster has super strenght, but is as tough as a normal human. Good luck punching through that wall without breaking your arm!

Ouch! Good start. :-)

Shatbat's is being able to perform any duty set forth like a pro but having to do so while hiding the secret past of being an ex-con.

Having the skill-set of a con would be advantageous to hide that secret past :D. And if I choose to perform the duty set of hiding my past as an ex-con like a pro, I'm starting to like that superpower~

You can slow time, but it affects you too. And you can't make it go normal speed again :P

Your superpower is that, while asleep, your soul leaves your body, and you can freely move around as an invisible floating spirit, moving through walls and exploring locations. Good for reconnaissance.

Your weakness is that you cannot wake up until your soul returns to your body, so if a magic-using villain finds a way to trap your soul while it is wandering, your body will essentially be in a coma and will gradually decompose.

Good point, Shatbat.

Declension, coffee affects your calculating abilities the way spinach affects Popeye's muscles. But if someone slips you decaf, you end up sprawled on the floor, mumbling, "One minus, one minus, one minus, one minus..."

Your superpower is that you have many superpowers.
Your weakness is that you can't make up your mind which one to use in any given situation.

Is that a car coming towards me? I'll just throw a fireball at it.. Or should I protect myself with a forcefield? Or better, I'll just run away really fast... Wow thqt car got really close now, should I stop time or telep... ouch.

The above poster can teleport anywhere, but he fuses with whatever occupied the space he teleported to, air included.

I'm enjoying the comments about previous poster's ideas as much as anything else in this thread. :D

Okay, Shatbat, so now your superpower is that you can throw fireballs, but you always end up with 3rd degree burns from fingertips to shoulder from doing so. Sorry about that. ;-)

MindWithoutWalls can fly, and, due to the magnetic forces his flight relies on, can only fly very low, and only over a large, industrial city. With lots of skyscrapers.

Also, he's blind.

Understands EVERYTHING that's said to them.

But is easily distracted by thinking about all these things.

Can read minds, but it causes a terrible headache.

Shatbat has super strength but no control over the degree of exertion, so that picking up or touching anything is disastrous. Everything becomes fragile to him.

Maybe that way I'll finally have a reason to stop picking my face :lol:

You can teleport, but everything that is not part of your body, including clothing, stays behind.

You have superspeed but this causes extreme motion sickness so whenever you get to where you're going you are so dizzy and sick to the stomach that you pass out for a while.

I kind of feel sorry for you. :P

You have the power to make people feel peaceful when they're about to commit violence. But you also make them and everyone around them feel so unconcerned about their surroundings that they stop whatever they're doing, right in the middle of it. This can result in things such as car crashes. But you're very well intentioned...
