Also compare UtilityMagic, for when the primary purpose of something which is awesome (magic, in this case) is something mundane, and UtilityWeapon, for when something is designed to function as both a weapon and a tool. Compare PricelessPaperweight, which is using a priceless or important item for a mundane task, and ChoresWithoutPowers, which consciously defies this trope. See also {{Prop}}.

When you really get down to it, this is actually quite sensible — it's not like superheroes and superheroines are saving the world/fighting for their lives 24/7, [[PowerIncontinence and in most cases, it's not like they can simply "shut off" their powers]]. If it's more convenient, then why ''not'' make your life a little simpler? Call it "[[WaxOnWaxOff practice]]" if you have to justify it (or just ask them "[[MundaneMadeAwesome What do you mean, it's not awesome?]]"). Similarly, if EveryoneIsASuper, not everybody will be keen on fighting or committing crime. That doesn't mean they won't find some way to make use of their abilities.
