** Played straight/for comedy with Killer Bee, the host of the Eight-Tailed Beast. Being a jinchuriki gives you incredible amounts of chakra (even when not using the beast's power), the ability to transform [[GameFace part]] or [[OneWingedAngel all of the way into the beast's form]], and a special power depending on which one. Of what we know of, the One-Tailed lets you [[DishingOutDirt control sand]], the Two-Tailed can make [[TechnicolorFire a weird spectral fire]], the Four-Tailed can [[MagmaMan control/create lava]], the Nine-Tailed gives you a HealingFactor, and the Eight-Tails... lets your body produce ink from your mouth. Despite this, the current 8-Tailed host more than makes up for it with his control over the basic forms. In addition, spitting ink is [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower more useful than it may seem]], as it can be used to blind enemies or even solidified for a DoppelgangerAttack.

[[RuleOfFunny Mostly just because it's funny]] to list someone's powers as "energy manipulation, one of the greatest healers in the world, super strength and... can talk to slugs", instead of just "energy manipulation, healing and strength."

** Jugo is the originator of the Cursed Seal, giving him great durability and letting him make his entire body a ShapeshifterWeapon. For [[FriendToAllLivingThings an entirely different reason]] he can also communicate with animals, and have them do various tasks like scouting or scattered torn pieces of clothing to throw someone off their trail. [[spoiler:Jugo's kinship with nature is actually tied to his transformation powers, since both are due to him being a natural Sage, a person with strong ties to the chakra of nature.]]

* Tsugumi Ohba of ''Manga/DeathNote'' [[WordOfGod said that]] Shinigami, among [[NighInvulnerability intangibility,]] {{Flight}}, [[MagicalEye the ability to see names above people's heads]] can also...taste even though [[EatingOptional they don't need to eat.]]
* The skill set of Negi in ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' includes various [[BlowYouAway wind]] and [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] spells, {{Status Buff}}s, {{Flash Step}}ping, [[spoiler:EnergyAbsorption,]] etc., etc. Oh, and he also knows a spell for [[BreastExpansion breast inflation.]]
** Negi has a secondary one involving [[spoiler: his artifact, which borrows the powers of his partners. This includes {{Telepathy}}, AntiMagic, a GreatBigBookOfEverything, etc. It also includes a MagicalGirl staff that allows him to [[ExtremeGraphicalRepresentation surf the internet.]]]]
** Then there's Jack Rakan, whose portfolio includes SuperStrength, invincibility, ability to disregard the laws of physics, and...can [[TheNoseKnows locate enemies with alarming precision by the scent of their panties.]] Which [[PantyThief he stole right off of them.]]
** It's hinted that a lot of powerful warlocks will just naturally know one or two useless, crummy spells that they picked up along the way. Negi's most basic spells, learned in the magical equivalent of preschool, are moving tiny objects and fortune-telling. [[spoiler: Negi applies this in his battle with Chao, where Chao needs a super-computer hooked up to her battle-suit to SaveScum, Negi merely creates two sprites with each ability that handle it for him, finally robbing Chao of the GameBreaker advantage she's been abusing through the whole story arc and letting Negi fight her on equal footing.]]

* In the manga version of ''Manga/SailorMoon'', Sailor Venus has SuperStrength, [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams,]] [[ExtraOreDinary control over metals]] (apparently), and the ability of purifying people corrupted by magic. In ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'', she also has the Venus Sulphur Smoke attack, that ''summons Venus' horribly stinking atmosphere''.
** ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman / HeartIsAnAwesomePower: The one time she actually used it, she was facing a small army of cat youmas who had multiple hostages and increased sense of smell, and knocked them out instantly. Also, given the name of the attack, she was probably holding back, otherwise she would have ''melted everything with a cloud of sulphuric acid''.
* In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia,'' [[AnimalThemedSuperbeing Tsuyu's]] frog abilities are themselves an example of HeartIsAnAwesomePower, but they include some things that she admits aren't very useful, like being able to spit out her own stomach to clean it. Also, she can produce a poisonous mucus, but it only causes a mild stinging sensation. [[spoiler: But then in the Joint Training Arc, she uses it to confuse [[BeastMan Jurota's]] hypersensitive sense of smell.]]

** Used to have a power which had no practical applications but meant he could touch Rogue. Though this was useful as the two were lovers. ([[RuleOfDrama He lost it, of course.]])

* Franchise/{{Superman}} used to have the power of Super-Ventriloquism, which he used surprisingly frequently (because being able to ''literally'' throw your voice gives you a way to communicate in the vacuum of space). Also whenever Superman -or other Kryptonian- used to use his powers to do something more efficiently writers would call it Super-<Insert Thing Here>, so "weaving at Superspeed" became [[http://images.paxholley.net/blog/superman/supes_weaving1.jpg "Super-Weaving".]] The worst case of which is a simple multiplication, which Supes calls [[http://images.paxholley.net/blog/superman/supes_math1.jpg "Super-Mathematics"]] ''while he gets the answer wrong''. His "Super-Breath" is used only sporadically (volcano eruption, "Fire Wall of Doom"). In ''ComicBook/WarWorld'', Superman and Supergirl use their Super Ventriloquism to communicate in the vacuum of space.
* ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} was created in the late Silver Age and she was also overpowered like her cousin, but she was not liable to come up with new weird powers every issue. Still, she used "Super Ventiloquism" in ''ComicBook/ActionComics #258'' she used "Super Aiming" and in ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl1972 Supergirl Vol 1]]'' issue #1 she uses [[VacuumMouth Super-Suction Breath]] to capture a serial killer (she draws out the air out of a cab so the man in there faints). Supergirl once complained (to herself) how "lame" "Super Breath" was.
* Franchise/SpiderMan got one of these in "The Other" powerup mini-arc before Civil War. He gained such powers as seeing in the dark, tracing vibrations through his weblines, poison stingers in his arms...and the ability to identify the species of any spider on sight. At least he didn't end up shooting webs out of his behind.

** Kaine, the second Scarlet Spider, picked up a similar set of abilities after his return...as well as, much to his displeasure, the ability to communicate with spiders. There have been several times where this power has come in handy, but Kaine, a determinedly serious angsty anti-hero, refuses to use it unless absolutely necessary.
* Namor the ComicBook/SubMariner has super strength, can fly, can breathe both air and water, can charge his body with electricity, has telepathic control over undersea life...and can puff himself up like a puffer fish. The latter powers (thankfully) haven't been seen since his reintroduction into Marvel in the 1960s.
* On a related note, this is arguably why ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} is often seen more as a punchline than a legitimate superhero, since people tend to overlook his more useful abilities like super strength, durability and breathing underwater, and just remember him as [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnywa"the guy who talks to fish"]] (and of course, even that ability can be [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower surprisingly useful]] in large bodies of water...Ever seen ''Film/{{Jaws}}''? Yeah, he can make that happen to you whenever he damn well pleases). It does not help that ''WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}}'' mostly forgot about the strength and durability and didn't even bother much to at least make him BadassNormal outside of water. Yet, in some incarnations, he is one of the most powerful Justice League members, especially when he also has magic on top of his other powers.
* [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk The Hulk]] has super-strength and durability...and the ability to see astral forms. Which is more useful than you might think, but not ''that'' much more useful. To be even more obscure, he can also always sense his location relative to the place he was "born" in the gamma bomb.

To be even more obscure, he can also always sense his location relative to the place he was "born" in the gamma bomb.

* In ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'', Super Stupor: While not a weak power by any means, the very...[[DeusSexMachina intimate]] contact necessary for one superhero's truth power to work makes him very reluctant to even admit that it exists.[[http://www.superstupor.com/sust11262007.shtml.]]

* In ''Webcomic/{{Roommates}}'' (and its SpinOff s ''Webcomic/GirlsNextDoor'' and ''Webcomic/DownTheStreet'') Jareth's main power is over time and space (even people's personal time and space perception), he also has some very limited general magic (enough to heal small injuries) ... and the power to [[ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction instant change]] [[InstantCosplaySurprise people's clothing]]. (Could be [[MundaneUtility highly specialized teleportation]], but then where on earth does he get the clothes from?)
** ''Roommates''' explanation is that magic is the extension of the caster ''and'' the [[TheoryOfNarrativeCausality narrative]], which means it's {{Wild|Magic}}. The clothing change is one of such side-effects, but Jareth tends to shamelessly exploit it for his own amusement. The thing is: ''anybody'' wielding his powers will get an attire fitting the narrative, no matter if he wants it or not. (Yes. This happened.)

* Aquerna, at [[SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy]] in the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse''. Strength, quickness, leaping ability, and.. she can talk to squirrels (although some of the time this one is her ''best'' power).
** Makes sense once one considers that she gets her powers from a (possibly the) squirrel ''spirit''. She gets overshadowed by many of the flashier super-teens at the school, but it's actually a pretty neat and consistent package.
* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'': SCP-076-2 a.k.a. Able: [[SuperStrength super strong]], MadeOfIron, can materialize blades from nowhere... and has a great affinity for tending to livestock.

* All three ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' are [[FlyingBrick superstrong and can fly]], can shoot EyeBeams, and have several other cool powers. Blossom also has freezing powers, Bubbles can speak any language (including animal languages), and Buttercup can... roll her tongue like a taco.

* DiscussedTrope in ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'', where the villains split the 12 talismans between the four of them, letting them rob banks with super strength, laser eyes, and the ability to turn cops into chickens, among other things. Finn, however, gets the powers of astral projection, motion-to-the-motionless and balance (spiritual, sadly). Luckily, he complains enough so that comparatively-{{Badass Normal}} Hak Fu trades with him... and then he makes a ''second'' trade with Ratso when this gives him flight and ''two'' healing powers (which later turns out to not actually be redundant).
* ''WesternAnimation/{{The Fairly OddParents}}'': Noticing that his parents have to work all day and are too tired for him when they get home, Timmy wishes to his fairy godparents that his parents were superheroes and "toss in whatever superpowers they can think off". Standard powers: superstrength, flight, morphing powers, heat vision and superspeed. Stranger but no less practical powers: spider snot. And then there's meat vision.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' features Captain Hindsight. Not only can he fly, but he also has... extraordinary hindsight. This is treated as CursedWithAwesome. Interestingly, as denoted by his superhero moniker, the extraordinary hindsight is considered his ''main'' power, while his flight is mostly just a way for him to get around so that he can dispense his belated wisdoms. It doesn't even occur to anyone that he could use his flight to save people from a burning building, instead of explaining in detail what '''should''' have been done to avoid that fire in the first place.
* ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'': Stitch has super strength, a super-retentive brain (can learn any language, alien, human, or otherwise, in a very brief time period), agility, quick thinking -- he's created to be a [[PersonOfMassDestruction being of mass destruction]]. He can also act as a gramophone (stick a claw on a vinyl disc, open Stitch's mouth, and swing to the Elvis). And regurgitate and perfectly reassemble a cake he just ate.
* ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'': Along with his better-known powers, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5N-jh8ars8 Superman can]] [[VoiceChangeling exactly imitate other people's voices]]. He says it comes from "precise muscle control" and [[SuperSenses incredibly good hearing]].

* On ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', [[CuteBruiser Starfire]] is a FlyingBrick with SuperStrength, the ability to project energy blasts from her hands and eyes, resistance to the vacuum of space and other harsh environmental conditions, and the ability to...learn languages by kissing a native speaker. (According to the show, it has to be a kiss; see the comic above.)
* ''WesternAnimation/PJMasks'': The three main members of this team are prone to this: Owlette's got flight, Gekko's got the strength, and Catboy is the heart and soul of this team.

* In ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'', Kieri the water angel can fly, shoot icebolts, and has [[CursedWithAwesome a curse]] that let her turn into a cute bunny. Being said cute bunny restricts Kieri's ability to fight and it weakens her magic. However, it crosses into CursedWithAwesome when Kieri becomes unhittable due to small size and increased rabbity agility. After all, Toski did refer to it as a gift!
* In ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'', Super Stupor: While not a weak power by any means, the very... [[DeusSexMachina intimate]] contact necessary for one superhero's truth power to work makes him very reluctant to even admit that it exists.[[http://www.superstupor.com/sust11262007.shtml]].
* Dave's kernelsprite, from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', was prototyped with an impaled crow. This gives him wings & flight, an always available sword, energy beams, insight into the secrets of the game, and apparently [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006244 the ability to deface posters from a distance while someone is writing on them]].

* The skill set of Negi in ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima!'' includes various [[BlowYouAway wind]] and [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] spells, {{Status Buff}}s, {{Flash Step}}ping, [[spoiler:EnergyAbsorption]], etc., etc. Oh, and he also knows a spell for [[BreastExpansion breast inflation]].

* Franchise/{{Superman}} used to have the power of Super-Ventriloquism, which he used surprisingly frequently (because being able to ''literally'' throw your voice gives you a way to communicate in the vacuum of space). Also whenever Superman -or other Kryptonian- used to use his powers to do something more efficiently writers would call it Super-<Insert Thing Here>, so "weaving at Superspeed" became [[http://images.paxholley.net/blog/superman/supes_weaving1.jpg "Super-Weaving"]]. The worst case of which is a simple multiplication, which Supes calls [[http://images.paxholley.net/blog/superman/supes_math1.jpg "Super-Mathematics"]] ''while he gets the answer wrong''. His "Super-Breath" is used only sporadically (volcano eruption, "Fire Wall of Doom"). In ''Comicbook/WarWorld'', Superman and Supergirl use their Super Ventriloquism to communicate in the vacuum of space.
* Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} was created in the late Silver Age and she was so overpowered like her cousin, but she was not liable to come up with new weird powers every issue. Still she used "Super Ventiloquism", in ''Comicbook/ActionComics #258'' she used "Super Aiming" and in ''[[Comicbook/{{Supergirl 1972}} Supergirl Vol 1]]'' issue #1 she uses [[VacuumMouth Super-Suction Breath]] to capture a serial killer (she draws out the air out of a cab so the man in there faints). Supergirl once complained (to herself) how "lame" "Super Breath" was.

* It's more a [[RequiredSecondaryPowers Required Secondary Power]], but Scott Summers, aka. ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}, has a natural grasp of spatial geometry: usually he uses it to bounce his eyebeams off stuff, but he has used it for other things (like throwing rocks and baseball) at least occasionally. {{Wolverine}} once noted that this means it's a very bad idea to play against Cyke in a game of pool. Captain America also has this as well for the same reason (except with his shield); one can only imagine what would happen if the two of them played pool together.
* Comicbook/{{Empowered}}'s hypermembrane, [[ClothingDamage when intact]], grants her an impressive, if unreliable, array of superpowers, such as SuperStrength, energy blasts, WallCrawling, and invulnerability. It can also turn invisible. Not turn ''her'' invisible, just turn ''itself'' invisible. You can guess how Emp and her body-image issues feel about ''that'' little trick. It also makes phone calls.
* "Seth", a psycho living weapon developed to take down ComicBook/TheAuthority, had one thousand, two hundred and four unique powers - literally every single ability the world's seven richest governments together could churn out of their supersoldier programs (with all the resources of a WorldOfWeirdness at their disposal). Some of them were typical SuperpowerLottery things like telekinesis and super-super-speed. Some of them were quirkier, but made sense in terms of exploiting the Authority's Achilles Heels- "Larynx-Freezing Vision," for instance, stopped the team's Comicbook/DoctorStrange expy from getting a spell out. But then came "X-Ray Strength" and "Nuclear Poop Vision..."
* Comicbook/WonderWoman has flight, superstrength second only to Superman, [[SuperReflexes reflexes fast enough to block bullets]] with her bracelets (and indestructible bracelets), an indestructible magic lasso that can break enchantments and force anyone bound with it to answer any question truthfully and a razor-sharp tiara she can throw like a boomerang. Did you know she can also [[SpeaksFluentAnimal talk to animals]]? Neither did most of the people who write her comic, judging by how often she does it. She can also talk with trees.
* Comicbook/{{Nightcrawler}} of the ''ComicBook/XMen'' can teleport (taking other people along - [[PortalCut or just pieces of them]] - if he wants), climb walls and ceilings, turn invisible in shadows, and has superhuman agility and a prehensile tail he can use to fence with three swords at once. He also has the ability to know whether or not he's in his home dimension. He can count the number of times he's used this power for anything other than instinctively ending up in the right dimension when he teleports on the fingers of one hand. And Nightcrawler only has three fingers per hand.

* Mr Hyde from ''Comicbook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'' had monstrous strength and toughness, and could see heat. With an invisible sociopath on their team, this did become useful.
* Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}'s sonar super-hearing is used relatively often. His super-touch is mentioned relatively frequently, as well. Every once in a while, his super-smell will be referenced and useful. But rarely does his super-taste, which apparently allows him to analyze even trace ingredients of food, work its way into a story.

* Comicbook/{{Starfire}} is a FlyingBrick who can shoot energy beams. Also, in order to explain [[AliensSpeakingEnglish her grasp of English]], she can learn any language by kissing a native speaker. Later a RetCon says that it can be ''any'' form of touch, but she likes kissing [[PowerPerversionPotential because it's more fun]].

* ''WebAnimation/ZanyToTheMax''

* [[Film/PumaMan Puma Man]], of the film of the same name, has super strength, flight (kinda), teleportation, [[IntangibleMan intangibility]], [[MySignificanceSenseIsTingling a danger sense]], and the ability to see in the dark. He can also [[PlayingPossum fake being dead]]. Since Puma Man is basically useless despite his [[ComboPlatterPowers smorgasbord of powers]], he at one point uses his possum power to get the villain to leave him alone.

* In ''Series/{{Heroes}}'', Sylar acquires superpowers whether they're useful or not. One of his first powers is "melting things," which he's never seen to use again. His {{telekinesis}}, [[PsychoElectro lightning blasts]], an incredible {{Healing Factor}} are all used often.

* In the ''{{Series/Dinosaurs}}'' episode where Earl becomes a super-hero, he has the abilities of [[FlyingBrick Flight, Heat Vision, Super-Strength]]... and can guess anyone's weight to the nearest pound. A news anchor even refers to him as the "Weight-Guessing Wonder".

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' protagonist Reimu Hakurei can fly (granted, nearly everyone in [[FantasyKitchenSink Gensoukyou]] can do that), call upon the powers of the Hakurei Shrine gods, [[NighInvulnerable make herself completely indestructible at a whim]], and [[NeverGetsFat eat sweets without getting fat]].

* In ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'', the [[GreenLanternRing Keyblade]] can [[SummonToHand appear at will]], [[MorphWeapon assume nearly any form]], act as a [[FullContactMagic conduit for magic]], [[HolyHandGrenade annihilate]] TheHeartless, and [[MundaneUtility lock or unlock doors]]. Which turn out to be the most powerful of its abilities by ''far'', because [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower hearts lie behind doors]].

We've all heard of the [[FlyingBrick standard superhero power deal]], of people with phenomenal cosmic powers,[[note]][[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} itty bitty living space not mandatory]],[[/note]] and of people whose powers make people point and laugh, since WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway Sometimes, though, people like to mix things up and give someone with reasonable, or even cool, powers an additional lame, strange, or useless one.

[[RuleOfFunny Mostly just because it's funny]] to list someone's powers as [[Manga/{{Naruto}} "energy manipulation, one of the greatest healers in the world, super strength and...]] [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers can talk]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking to slugs"]], instead of just "energy manipulation, healing and strength."

* In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia,'' [[AnimalThemedSuperbeing Tsuyu]]'s frog abilities are themselves an example of HeartIsAnAwesomePower, but they include some things that she admits aren't very useful, like being able to spit out her own stomach to clean it. Also, she can produce a poisonous mucus, but it only causes a mild stinging sensation.

* As in [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog the games]], Silver the Hedgehog from ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'' has telekinetic powers that can do just about anything the writer can think of, with him being able to fly and throw meteorites with his mind. Here his amazing psychic abilities can also ''give you a headache.'' Normally he can only read the minds of other psychics, and even then only if they'll let him anyway. But it came in handy in issue 217 when he used a psychic booster to release a herd of walruses from mind control.

* ''WesternAnimation/PJMasks'': The three main members of this team are prone to this: Owlette's got flight, Gekko"s got the strength, and Catboy is the heart and soul of this team.

* In the manga version of ''Manga/SailorMoon'', Sailor Venus has SuperStrength, FrickinLaserBeams, [[ExtraOreDinary control over metals]] (apparently), and the ability of purifying people corrupted by magic. In ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'' she also has the Venus Sulphur Smoke attack, that ''summons Venus' horribly stinking atmosphere''.

* The eponymous character in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' doesn't always get the [[SummonMagic summon]] he ''wants'' and is stuck with Gamakichi and/or Gamatatsu instead. "Can spontaneously create a thousand clones of himself, generate and weaponize a ball of pure energy, and summon... a couple of small, hungry talking frogs..."
** This changes quite a bit in Shippuden, as Gamakichi and Gamatatsu have grown quite a bit bigger (as in, larger than any human, though they're still tiny compared to their father [[{{Kaiju}} Gamabunta]]), and even the snack-obsessed moron Gamatatsu can do a powerful combination jutsu with Naruto. And by the end of Shippuden, it goes away entirely with Gamakichi being [[{{Kaiju}} a mere 10 cm shorter than his enormous father]]. Toads grow up fast.

* [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor:]] Master of time and space (with his TARDIS), frighteningly intelligent, knows everything about everything, can completely recover from being killed just about any way you care to kill him, and speaks fluent baby. (The Doctor is fluent in basically ''every'' language, which includes baby.)

He can also act as a gramophone (stick a claw on a vinyl disc, open Stitch's mouth, and swing to the Elvis). And regurgitate and perfectly reassemble a cake he just ate.

* ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'': Superman has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5N-jh8ars8 precise muscle control.]] Actually more useful than you might think. If he didn't have precise muscle control, he wouldn't be able to be [[SecretIdentity Clark Kent]] convincingly.

* The comics had Franchise/WonderWoman as an TheChampion of [[CompleteImmortality the amazon warriors]] with SuperStrength and an [[CoolPlane invisible plane]]. The [[{{Series/WonderWoman}} Wonder Woman TV series]] introduced the world [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL9L_uYASrU to the way]] Diana Prince could [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning spin]] to change her clothes to Wonder Woman's, and back into Diana Prince (in the episode "The Feminum Mystique Part 1)", and also gave WonderWoman [[SpeaksFluentAnimal the power to talk to pigeons]], [[FriendToAllLivingThings calm guard dogs]], and [[VoiceChangeling perfectly impersonate a german spy's voice]]

** Yuuka Kazami is a youkai with incredibly high levels of strength, endurance and magical energy, and (possibly) the original creator of Marisa's [[KamehameHadoken Master Spark]]. Her actual power is [[GreenThumb manipulation of flowers]], which is referred to as "more of an extra".
** Eirin Yagokoro's power is being a [[SuperIntelligence super genius]] [[TheMedic who can make any medicine conceivable]], which is by no means a lame power but it doesn't sound like it could stand up to [[SuperpowerLottery many of the overpowered denizens of Gensokyo]] as far as combat goes. However, she has lived for possibly millions (!) of years and has a proportional knowledge of magic. She can form a sealed barrier around ''the whole Earth'', and implies that's not even her most powerful spell. Yeah, needless to say she is a FinalBoss.
** Remilia Scarlet '''might''' be a case of this. Her power is the "manipulation of fate", which if taken to its full potential should make her a RealityWarper. However, this does not seem to be the case, and her little sister seems to think that Remilia literally made her power up, which would not be out of character given that Remilia is as close to being an Evil Eye-type {{Chuunibyou}} as a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent legitimate vampire]] can be. Common consensus seems to be that Remilia's ability, if it's even real, is more of a [[WindsOfDestinyChange luck-influencing]] power than anything, she can increase the probability that things play out in her favor, but not cause unrealistic events. Regardless of any of this, however, she is still a vampire, which means she is endowed with SuperStrength comparable to that of oni, SuperSpeed comparable to that of tengu, a HealingFactor that allows her to survive basically anything, and enough magical power to wreathe all of Gensokyo in blood-colored mist.
** Another potential entrant in this trope is Yuugi Hoshiguma, with the "power to wield unexplainable phenomena". In a world [[FantasyKitchenSink where everything is unexplained phenomena]] [[WorldOfWeirdness and therefore, nothing is]], this could be the strongest power of all, or the most useless one. Nothing in canon explains her power in the slightest, and [[TheWikiRule the wiki]]'s stance on the matter is "damned if we know". At any rate, she is still an oni, and one of the Four Devas of the Mountain to boot. You know you're a badass when a race whose members are known to occasionally shatter mountains gives you the moniker "the Strong".

* Silver from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog''. He has telekinetic powers that can do just about anything the writer can think of, with him being able to fly and throw meteorites with his mind. And in [[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Archie Comics]], his amazing psychic abilities can ''give you a headache.'' Normally he can only read the minds of other psychics, and even then only if they'll let him anyway. But it came in handy in issue 217 when he used a psychic booster to release a herd of walruses from mind control.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' features Captain Hindsight. Not only can he fly, but he also has... extraordinary hindsight. This is treated as CursedWithAwesome. Interestingly, as denoted by his superhero moniker, the extraordinary hindsight is considered his ''main'' power. It doesn't even occur to anyone that he could use ''that'' to save people from a burning building.

* [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor:]] Master of time and space (with his TARDIS), frighteningly intelligent, knows everything about everything, can completely recover from being killed just about any way you care to kill him, and speaks fluent baby.
