I'm not sure how the process goes. If there are suggestions, or if you just add it, or what, but I thought I'd just post a Laconic suggestion.

I was just thinking that a good alternate name for this trope would be "Blessed With Squick"

Can somebody clarify this?

I'm currently cleaning up the misuse of Involuntary Shapeshifting (of which there's a little). Theolo's mention in the Abarat example feels roughly correct, but can somebody familiar with the series give it some clearer wording?

Not sure if I can help, but really any superpowers that are Body Horror (as the main page says) would pretty much count. If someone wants to add an example, they should first read the Body Horror page and ask if their example counts as Body Horror. Do you think that's fair?

I have a fan character who could qualify as having these. Her power is basically the ability to control her body temprature at will, which doesn't sound so bad until you find out this means heating herself to scathing level and setting people on fire via physical contact. The downside is that these occasionally go haywire, causing her to explode from the inside out. Fridge Horror sets in when she mentions her bones doubling up as shrapnel.
