* WillfullyWeak: If Kusuo doesn't tune down his SuperStrength, people will get hurt. Badly.

It sounds like he was [[GodModeSue blessed with everything]], right? [[CursedWithAwesome Wrong!]]. He can't [[PowerIncontinence shut off his powers]], therefore his life is void of [[SpiderSense surprises]], [[TheAce challenges]] or [[InvincibleHero sense of accomplishment]]. He also needs to avoid [[FriendlessBackground social]] [[CelibateHero interation]], both because he wants to keep his powers secret and because thinks of himself [[EvolutionaryLevels as too different]] to relate to normal people.

[[caption-width-right:350:Does [[OnlySaneMan Common Sense]] also count as a [[PsychicPowers psychic power?]]]]

He's actually a boy with PsychicPowers. An [[PersonOfMassDestruction incredibly powerful boy]] with [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands every imaginable psychic ability]]. If he wanted to, he could [[ApocalypseHow wipe out humanity]] in only 3 days.
