The problem? It burns his flesh away every second unless he reinforces his organs liberally with Chakra first, to the point where people start to see his bones if he holds the mode up for anything longer than 5 minutes.

He is, for instance, often worried that his SuperStrength, which tends to activate when he's angry or scared and completely without warning, will lead to him one day shaking someone's hand and crushing their bones to powder. And then there's the PsychicPowers. Though he gets a handle on them relatively quickly after they manifest, he goes through one ''hell'' of a case of PowerIncontinence.
* Taylor suffers this in ''Fanfic/TheLastDaughter'', owing to her nature as a Kryptonian. She constantly fears hurting friends and loved ones with her titanic strength.
* In ''Fanfic/KyonBigDamnHero'', Haruhi realizes her power and nearly goes into a HeroicBSOD when she realizes just how sensitive it is. Yuki helps subvert this trope by becoming a buffer, and Haruhi runs a MemoryGambit on herself to limit herself to more manageable MindOverMatter powers.
* The Literature/HarryPotter/Franchise/MarvelUniverse crossover ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9443327/1/ A Third Path to the Future]]'' has Melody, a young mutant whose powers change anything she sees into music. While Melody can tell exactly what kind of person someone is by the songs she hears from them, her mind has been so warped that she has no concept of numbers and has little to no social skills. According to Xavier, she's one of the few mutants in [[TheAlcatraz The Vault]] simply because she's incapable of taking care of herself.
* ''FanFic/TheThreeKingsHunt'': The Mages who get magical powers which can be very powerful but are also very specific and limited; these same powers also cause mages to be hunted down and killed by wizards. Further according to the author not all these magical powers are very useful (for example generating globes of light)
* [[Anime/CodeGeass Shirley Fenette]] in ''FanFic/JusticeSocietyOfJapan'' has technopathic powers and a clockwork body. On one hand, this gives her total control over machines and super-strength. On the other hand she can't heal naturally, frequently suffers PowerIncontinence, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking has this pink antenna things that make her look like a robot]].
* In ''FanFic/TheBridge'', [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Aria Blaze]] manages to sing a melody that calms down the human transformed [[Film/GodzillaFinalWars Kaizer Ghidorah]]. Pro? She avoids getting killed by Kaizer and siphons a large boost in energy from him that amplifies her own powers. Con? [[spoiler: She did it right when another kaiju named Enjin was hunting Kaizer, tracking him via his energy signature. An energy signature Aria now shares, causing Enjin to target her too]]. Oops.
* In ''Fanfic/{{Overlady}}'' Jessica is half-incubus, not half-succubus. So if she loses her focus, she'll radiate immense manliness and appear incredibly handsome despite having a voluptuous feminine figure. According to her, it's murder trying to get a boyfriend when her manliness makes them all feel insecure.
* Due to the Halloween spell, [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Xander and Jenny Calendar]] gain the Starship Enterprise in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8610967/1/Ship-of-the-Line-Humanities-Loss Ship of the Line: Humanities Loss]]''. The catch is neither can ever leave the ship. Jenny because she's a furry cat-like alien and would stand out too much and Xander because he's now the ships Medical Hologram and as such is physically unable to leave the ship.
[[AC: ''Manga/DeathNote'']]
* In the [[AlternateUniverseFic AU]] ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/430654/chapters/727997 Lies On]]'' Light Yagami is revealed to be an [[HornyDevils incubus]] on his [[DangerousSixteenthBirthday eighteenth birthday]] meaning he's really a super-powered [[{{Immortality}} immortal]] [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demon]] and that he can't go anywhere without someone trying to molest him. Also if he ever wants to pursue a relationship with anyone he has to take extra care not to suck out their lifeforce.
* In ''FanFic/ThePrinceOfDeath'' Light/Kira becomes [[DeathActivatedSuperpower the Prince of the Shinigami]] which means he's been powered up into a FlyingBrick PhysicalGod InvincibleHero. However this is balanced out by SEVERE BlessedWithSuck: He lives in constant pain, [[BodyHorror because he's technically dead any wound he sustains will never heal]], [[NeverHurtAnInnocent he needs to kill innocents]] [[HorrorHunger to survive]], and since he shares an empathic connection with the Death Notes if one is destroyed he slips into a ConvenientComa for a week. Also his powers are [[ComesGreatInsanity driving him crazy]] [[SanityHasAdvantages or more accurately even crazier]] [[spoiler: [[DeusAngstMachina and that is on top of]] [[DamagedSoul the trauma of DYING]]]]. ALSO, as a Shinigami he is bound by their rules and naturally [[KidWithTheLeash L ends up with the leash]]. Naturally since becoming a Shinigami he now has the Shinigami eyes but Light thinks it would be more useful ''[[RulesLawyer not]]'' to be able to see the lifespan of a Death Note holder.
[[AC: ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'']]
* In the ''FanFic/TamersForeverSeries'', [[spoiler: as the vessel of Chaos, Takato]] is gifted with immense power, but that same power is slowly and painfully killing him from the inside out.
[[AC: ''Franchise/DragonAge'']]
* In ''[[FanFic/DragonAgeTheCrownOfThorns Dragon Age: The Crown of Thorns]]'', the [[GuileHero dwarven noble]] protagonist is a Magic Knight because he harbors a tear in the veil. Unfortunately, while he did get some of the spirit warrior abilities form Awakening, this seems to have caused at least as may problems, some of them rather serious.
[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'']]
* ''FanFic/RedLightning'' gives us [[spoiler: Jimmy]], who is completely immortal. Unfortunately, this rendered him unable to sleep or fall unconsious, and did nothing to numb his sense of pain. The poor kid had to stay consious while pulling himself back together as ''atoms in the air!''
[[AC: ''Literature/HarryPotter'']]
* Luna Lovegood in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7382549/1/When-Is-It-a-Contract When Is It a Contract?]]'' can answer any question she's asked directly even if she doesn't know the answer (i.e. "Why are we required to have dress robes?" Or "How can I make sure I have a better year?"). However, since she also doesn't remember giving said answers, she often appears crazy whenever someone asks an indirect question.
[[AC: ''Series/LostGirl'']]
* A Type 4 appears in ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8180681/1/Mad-World Mad World]]''. Lauren develops a rapid HealingFactor. While normally this would be really good, the sucky part comes in when she's captured and tortured by really sadistic Fae. Her wounds healing just means he can torture her again. He quickly abandons regular physical torture, in favor of doing something where even if Lauren could heal, her injury would only instantly reoccur. Her injuries are later compared to those associated with ''crucifixion.'' She, understandably, starts to lose the will to live.
[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'']]
* ''FanFic/ThePowersOfHarmony'': Rarity's insomnia inspires some of her best work, but leaves her very weak (due to denying her magic font time to recharge). [[spoiler: Turns out, [[SealedGoodInACan Harmony]] engineered this as part of her [[GambitRoulette master plan]].]]
** Twilight's PowerCopying ability works by making her more sensitive to magic, which makes it easier to understand how spells work. However, this also makes her more vulnerable to corruptive magic, which leaves her weak and sick.
** Discord made the Princesses immortal and linked them to the Sun and Moon because he knew that eventually they'd snap from the pressure of maintaining the world and succumb to the Chaos magic inside them. This is what led to Luna becoming Nightmare Moon.
* Within the [[FanFic/TriptychContinuum Tripytch Continuum]], [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/131321/a-mark-of-appeal A Mark Of Appeal]] kicks off when a character supposedly "blessed" with ludicrous sex appeal comes to Luna with a simple request: to destroy her mark, magic, or both. (The short version: her talent has been growing stronger as she's aged, starting from simply inspiring look-here-first interest in her classmates. It's currently at the point where it crosses gender and species barriers within minutes, creating infatuation, arousal, and then steadily strengthening both. ''Anyone'' she tries to speak with will eventually attempt seduction -- or worse -- and she can't turn it off.) However, the act of directly changing or destroying a mark is beyond even alicorn magic... [[spoiler: With the most recent chapter, it's been implied that the curse may actually be genetic, as her parents appear to have had their personalities consumed by their own talents....]]
* [[Fanfic/TheElementsOfHarmonyAndTheSaviorOfWorlds The Hasbroverse]]: In a RecursiveFanfiction of ''FanFic/TheConversionBureau'', [[spoiler: Megan Richards]] gets transformed into a powerful alicorn, instead of a "newfoal". That would seem like a dream come true. Unfortunately, the potion also had an added side effect of allowing TCB!Celestia to brainwash her if she gets too close. [[spoiler: Megan]] spends much of the story trying to shield her mind from TCB!Celestia's influence.
[[AC: ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'']]
* In ''FanFic/AGrowingAffection'', Kohaku's status as a living PerceptionFilter is this. Her parents forgot her when they went on vacation a couple of times (doesn't help that its a big family), and she gets passed over for promotion because no-one can remember what she did in the Chunin Exams. But as a ninja being functionally invisible and easily forgotten is a very useful ability.
* In ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7115615/1/Shinigan Shinigan]]'' Naruto gains the [[LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai Mystic Eyes of Death Perception]]. While his power has a surprising amount of versitility (such as removing Sasuke and Anko's Cursed Seals with a senbon), for a long time anything he looked at with his Shinigan on would fall apart along the lines. Seeing walls and furniture randomly collapse in pieces freaks Naruto out but seeing ''people'' falling apart nearly drives him insane. Naruto had to learn the Bringer Of Darkness technique to temporarily blind himself to save his sanity.
* [[Videogame/FinalFantasyVIII Quistis]] in ''[[http://ficwad.com/story/239863 Eroninja]]'' has a kekkei genkai much like the Sharingan in that it allows her to learn any jutsu. The problem is that she has to be hit by said jutsu first.
* The [[SuperpowerLottery Rinnegan]] is treated as such by both Obito and Sasuke in ''Fanfic/IAmNOTGoingThroughPubertyAgain''. The plus side: you're practically a god in human form. The downside: [[{{Squick}} shared vision with people in sexually active relationships]].
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11032690/1/ Pareidolia]]'', Kyuubi hates his power as TheEmpath since he can only sense hatred with it. No matter where he goes, all he can sense is hatred. According to him, this is what caused his FaceHeelTurn.
[[AC: ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'']]
* PlayedForLaughs in ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust''. Thanks to Rei invoking MagneticGirlfriend, Kensuke ends up becoming a ChickMagnet... and ends up running out of money from having to pay for all of the dates. Although that suck part goes away when he starts going out with just two of the girls (their idea, not his).
[[AC: ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'']]
* Hayden from the Percy Jackson fanfiction, FanFic/{{Riding the Waves}}. As a daughter of Thetis, she has [[MakingASplash water manipulation powers]] similar to Percy’s. But [[spoiler: her powers as a legacy of Pluto made twice as vulnerable.]]
[[AC: ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'']]
* All of the hybrids in FanFic/{{Morphic}} to a greater or lesser degree (it is a {{Deconstruction}} after all), but Gabriel, a half-[[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Slugma Slugma]] really takes the cake.
** Doubled. Not only is he half a blob of magma, but if he absorbs mud or stone, he begins to heat and get fire powers, which is awesome ... until you realize that, as his body temperature goes up, major tissue and organ damage would result. He's only (part) human. Special mention also goes to Mia Kerrigan, the Scyther morph, who has bladed arms, lightning reflexes, accelerated growth and is probably the strongest of the cast ... but does not understand empathy, limits or self-control.
*** Note that in a superhero story, Mia would be CursedWithAwesome. But given that this is a {{Dehconstruction}} fic [[spoiler: where AnyoneCanDie, Mia easily falls to guys using guns and bullets]].
** Also of special note is Katherine, who was mixed with a Roselia. She ages even faster than Mia and is considered the smartest and most mature of the hybrids... But apart from the fact that she actually dislikes aging so quickly, she also has ''roses for hands'', which makes even simple tasks like holding a pencil difficult. She also gets tired easily if she's not near sunlight.
* The [[PowerLimiter dampener]] removal in ''Fanfic/PokeWars''. Its removal greatly augments a Pokémon's abilities. Unfortunately it is extremely painful and results in PowerIncontinence until they learn to control it. Even then, their attacks are always lethal and ''extremely'' destructive. It is especially magnified for Pokémon like Heatran or Magmar whose body temperature rises to such an extent that being near them is lethal.
[[AC: ShinMegamiTensei]]
* Guardians and Cambions in ''FanFic/GoddessRebornChronicle'', whose ''very transformations'' [[HumanoidAbomination can leave them utterly inhuman in mind]] [[BodyHorror and body]]. Not to mention they can transform others into being like them if they like it or not.
[[AC: Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog]]
* Tails gets infected by Shroud in ''FanFic/SonicXDarkChaos'', which ends up giving him a LovecraftianSuperpower and makes him immune to the influence of Dark Tails. Except he still feels the corrupting influence of Dark Tails at every moment, and he starts to gain BizarreAlienBiology by the bucketload. And his temper gives him the chance of losing control of said superpower at any moment - he nearly destroys the Blue Typhoon and devours his friends at the end of Episode 73.
** Venus the Seedrian gains nearly divine power from a literal DealWithTheDevil. Except she's [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul slowly being turned into a robot]] - and she's [[AndIMustScream been rendered nearly immortal]].
[[AC: RealPersonFic]]
* ''FanFic/WithStringsAttached'':
** John has complete [[MakingASplash control over water]] and [[WingedHumanoid the body of a winged god]]; but he also has to [[BigEater eat constantly]], has ears so sensitive that he folds up in pain at shrill sounds that don't bother other people, and, worst of all, is no longer human, so he's no longer sexually attracted to human women.
** Paul is so ridiculously strong that he can barely move without causing chaos. He has practiced day and night to get to the point where he can walk around, but he has to keep constant watch on himself, keep his arms at his sides, etc. To revert to his more manageable lower level of strength, he has to explode, creating a large glassy crater and wiping out everything around him. Even at his lower level of strength he has to fiercely regulate his behavior. In neither case does he dare have sex. Oh, and neither of them can go home as is...
[[AC: WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}]]
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10600870/1/A-Semblance-of-Failure A Semblance of Failure]]'' is set in a support group for people with useless Semblances. One guy can tell exactly how much salt there is in his proximity; another can grow her nails at an accelerated rate.
[[AC: TabletopGame/Warhammer40000]]
* In ''Fanfic/TalesOfTheEmperasque'' the Emperor merges with [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Tarrasque]], giving him phenomenal psychic power, resilience and physical strength, but first, he's really, really large, which carries its own batch of problems, and second, a Tarrasque is a daemon in this setting, causing panic and multiple friendly fire incidents nearly everywhere he appears.
* A NSFW [[http://magic-robot.tumblr.com/post/50065262183/the-commanders-secret-superpower-nsfw Aquabats fanfiction]] does this with The MC Bat Commander, claiming his superpower is giving amazing blowjobs, making him quite literally [[IncrediblyLamePun blessed with suck]].
[[AC: ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'']]
* ''FanFic/{{Mistakes}}'' uses the common {{Fanon}} that the [[AnthropomorphicPersonification nations]] can't be killed by physical means and [[GoodThingYouCanHeal can recover from apparent "death"]]. This isn't necessarily a good thing when the fic starts with China being effectively [[{{Squick}} gang-raped to death]] and being thoroughly traumatised on waking (particularly since up until it happened to him he thought rape was unimportant and murder actually fun, since human morality doesn't quite work with immortals), and the Koreas [[spoiler:trapped in Unit 731, where they get dissected again and again and again]] ...
[[AC: CrossOver]]
* A Naruto/negima crossover Fanfic, "[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7441275/1/ Broken Faith]]" by Kur0Kishi has this in spades. Naruto inherited Kyuubi's core and powers before he came into Negima's era, giving him an extended and merged version of the red Kyuubi Cloak and the golden Kyuubi Chakra Mode from Canon manga with awesome horns and chains to boot, rendering him a literal God on the battlefield. The problem? It burns his flesh away every second unless he reinforces his organs liberally with Chakra first, to the point where people start to see his bones if he holds the mode up for anything longer than 5 minutes.
** Doubled in that using the power accelerates the breaking of the seal that's keeping him weak and stuck in Mahora. Sounds good doesnt it? It isn't, if the seal is released in a way it wasn't meant to ( i.e ; Breaking), both him and the tree go up in an explosion powerful enough to kill Divinity, taking everything in radius along with him at the same time.
* ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6260492/1/Happy_Families_Are_All_Alike Happy Families Are All Alike]]'' (A Naruto/Negima crossover) has Naruto himself. He has superhuman senses and is physically outstanding. He has powerful regeneration... but the Kyuubi has, as of chapter 7, firmly planted its feet in the EldritchAbomination category. And it can tear his flesh apart in his dreams.
* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has Harry who, true to form, finds his powers more of a trial than a blessing, usually because they tend to turn on and off pretty much at random. He is, for instance, often worried that his SuperStrength, which tends to activate when he's angry or scared and completely without warning, will lead to him one day shaking someone's hand and crushing their bones to powder.

Except he still feels the corrupting influence of Dark Tails at every moment, and he starts to gain BizarreAlienBiology by the bucketload. And his temper gives him the chance of losing control of said superpower at any moment - he nearly destroys the Blue Typhoon and devours his friends at the end of Episode 73.
** Venus the Seedrian gains nearly divine power from a literal DealWithTheDevil. Except she's [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul slowly being turned into a robot]] - and she's [[AndIMustScream been rendered nearly immortal]].

* ''FanFic/WithStringsAttached'':
** John has complete [[MakingASplash control over water]] and [[WingedHumanoid the body of a winged god]]; but he also has to [[BigEater eat constantly]], has ears so sensitive that he folds up in pain at shrill sounds that don't bother other people, and, worst of all, is no longer human, so he's no longer sexually attracted to human women.
** Paul is so ridiculously strong that he can barely move without causing chaos. He has practiced day and night to get to the point where he can walk around, but he has to keep constant watch on himself, keep his arms at his sides, etc. To revert to his more manageable lower level of strength, he has to explode, creating a large glassy crater and wiping out everything around him. Even at his lower level of strength he has to fiercely regulate his behavior. In neither case does he dare have sex. Oh, and neither of them can go home as is...

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10600870/1/A-Semblance-of-Failure A Semblance of Failure]]'' is set in a support group for people with useless Semblances. One guy can tell exactly how much salt there is in his proximity; another can grow her nails at an accelerated rate.
[[AC: TabletopGame/Warhammer40000]]
* In ''Fanfic/TalesOfTheEmperasque'' the Emperor merges with [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Tarrasque]], giving him phenomenal psychic power, resilience and physical strength, but first, he's really, really large, which carries its own batch of problems, and second, a Tarrasque is a daemon in this setting, causing panic and multiple friendly fire incidents nearly everywhere he appears.
