Pick you limited use superpower

You can pick a superpower, it just has to be only useful in certain circumstances or have significant limitations.

My ideas are

1. Emergency teleport - you can only teleport around 30 metres and have no control of where you go, although it will probably be safer than where you just were. (Chaos device from Heretic basically)

2. Rain immunity - a very limited form of aqua-kinesis

(sorry if this has been done before. Also, how can I change the title?)

Oh I don't know, I think the current title has a charming Middle English feel to it. "Pick you a superpower, milord, and we'll set this to rights!"

It Just Bugs Me

Give someone an order they have to obey, but can only be used once every 24hrs.

By the powers invested in me by tabloid-reading imbeciles, I pronounce you guilty of paedophilia!

I think using the holler button or P Ming a mod will probably do the trick, but I am no expert on that.

Anyway, I think that time travel would be the best limited use superpower to have considering how rarely one would really need to use it and how devastating it could be if it did not have limits.

I would want teleportation anywhere in the world that can only be used once a day. That way I could use it in an emerency, but I wouldn't get dependent.

The ability to inflict non-permanent bad luck on other people.

Invulnerability, but it doesn't work on deliberate attempts to hurt me.

Accident proofing ?

I'll admit, I would enjoy that.

The ability to know if a book/movie/fanfiction is worth watching/reading simply by looking.

AKA a limited form of precognizance

Feminist in the streets, sex slave in the sheets

Omniscience, excluding knowing that I am omniscient.

The ability to appear that I am roughly a meter away from my actual position.

Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.

The ability to transform into a powerful dragon under the moon's glow. In this form, I will be able to fly as high as the outer reaches of the atmosphere, but I have to be careful not to escape the moon's glow. I will be able to breathe fire and solar flares, my scales will be far tougher than a tank's armour, and my teeth can crush cars. I have no control over this ability, except that the moon won't have any effect when I'm behind glass. The fuller the moon, the more powerful my dragon form becomes.

Requiem ~ September 2010 - October 2011 [Banned 4 Life]

The ability to cause middle fingers to sprout from any surface within ten meters.

I would have the superpower to always show up at the Bus Stop just in time for it to fit my schedule!

Telekinesis, but it has to be something I could have picked up/moved physically.

The ability to slow time when I sleep. I won't know time has slowed except for the fact that every night was a good night's sleep

Hello again tropers

Incredible dance capabilities.

I may not have any need to dance, and never go to any functions where dancing occurs.

But one day, I may have to defeat Doctor Doom in a disco dance off, and IT WILL BE EPIC.

Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! ~ GOD

The ability to turn into things that would make people Squee, but only in front of a camera when no one else is around. I would make a killing in selling photos to Fan Girls

The ability to force grammatical perfection on everything I read/hear—I'd lose all of the possible enjoyment from My Immortal but it'd make reading people's essays so much less rage-inducing...

MEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

The ability to create illusions, with the catch that these illusions are only visual and auditory—they cannot be touched, smelled, or tasted, and anyone attempting to do so can figure out that they're fake. With enough cleverness, and some good bluffing, this abilty could effectively replace several dozen other abilities.

That's Feo . . . He's a disgusting, mysoginistic, paedophilic asshat who moonlights as a shitty writer—Something Awful

Displacement?

The awesome power of pre-critic!

Another idea: The ability to make people realise the stupidly of their actions or what they just said. I would use that power everyday if in I worked in retail.
