That actually is a plot point to one of the Kamen Riders IIRC. Every time he powered up and used his powers, he was losing memories and people were forgetting him.

He knew. =P

Zeronos and that is what I was thinking of

 

[Orbis Tabula]

You have a friend who you have a strong, near telepathic connection with. Together, you beat people with hammers and magical ice that can freeze them solid. The catch? You aren't in the next Super Smash Bros.

[Parallax]

Wolverine claws, but you can never retract them.
And you have an itchy butthole.

The coolest one I've seen is going invisible but light passing through your eyes making you blind was brought up in planetary.

ellis is smart that way

and the coup de grace

 

[SigmasonicX]

To explain the references people are making to Darker Than Black, in that show, there are people called Contractors who are able to use special abilities, but after they use them, they are compelled to perform arbitrary actions, such as eating a certain food, doing something particular to themselves, or performing some kind of ritual. Their emotions are also dampened.
EDIT: Though some do directly have things happen to them as costs, such aging backwards some number of years.

Indestructibility but you feel pain as a normal human being.

Example: So if someone sets you on fire you feel like you're being burned alive.,etc.

It's what they do in this book. They give the guy super stenght and invulnerability. But he has normal nerve endings. They use that to keep him in line.

This thread is well served by Global Frequency where superpowers like extraordinary strength come with the cost of needing painful and poor-fitting augmentations to the human skeleton so it can bear the added stresses.

Or Rising Stars, where the power to speak to the dead is balanced off by not being able to switch it off, resulting in constant hauntings by dead people who never shut up. I guess Sixth Sense did that too. There's also an invulnerable man who can't sense anything but flavor, so he gets fat and can't really find a job.

Concrete also frequently deals with a guy who has incredible strength and durability, but at the cost of his human form in exchange for one that can't feel the touch of others, swim, or walk on floors not designed to carry tons of weight.

 

[Rentahamster]

If I woke up with flying powers I would be scared to do it in case they unexpectedly gave out and I would probably hover at about five feet like a bitch for years.

Doesn't wolverine feels pain every time he brings his claws out?

 

[Seventh]

You're immortal, but any new knowledge that you gain and any events that you experience are forgotten after 24 hours.

 

[Superflat]

You could always be invisible boy from mystery men. Only invisible when no ones looking.

Was gonna say this. What a hilariously sad superpower to have.

 

[unholyrevenger72]

X-ray vision- you're an insomniac, cuz you see through your eye lids

 

[Slavik81]

The ability to always see your home. Even though walls. You need to, for example, carefully check that when you go to the theatre that the screen faces the right way, so your view isn't blocked by your house.

 

[Slayer-33]

Once you flame on you can't flame off.. lol

[ZoddGutts]

Power to attract any person of your preferred gender, problem it also affects family members.

Spoiler

Let's not derail thread with the other issue of this power.

 

[nephilimdj]

Playing the recent reboot of tomb raider and seeing her with 100 cuts/scars, made me think of having a healing factor but inability to heal tissue.

Venture Brothers!

[Finaika]

You can turn invisible but you'll become horny.

 

[Mango The Magician]

You can persuade people to do anything you want, even people half way across the world, but you're incredibly neutral and uncaring on every subject.

 

[Elija2]

You're invincible but everyone hates you.

 

[toxicgonzo]

You can turn invisible but you'll become horny.

Jokes on you, I already have this superpower.

I'm invisible to women and I'm horny

 

[Seventh]

You can conjure any thing that you can think of, but the matter to create it is taken from your own body.

 

[.GqueB.]

You can teleport but only once a day at noon. You can't control it.

 

[deim0s]

I would do the can only fly up. It'd still be really useful and you might find other ways to propel yourself.

[Hyperactivity]

Hahaha I am trying to imagine how useful this would be.

More imo

More useful for spying and standing still
Now if walking while being invisible is your goal, tough luck
