    Damnit! I was in a bit of a hurry as I was posting though. And there is no downside to being a giant taco that craps ice cream.

    Weather control:

    Upside: Can stop hurricanes and other severe storms from destroying homes.

    Downside: Can't always predict if the storm will become dangerous and using the ability in battle can cause collateral damage.

    Next power: Frost breath.

    Positives: Could win any fight no matter how outmatched you are, could do many multiple tasks at once and procrastinating would no longer be an issue, could play some REALLY awesome, intricate and confusing pranks.

    Negatives: It could get very confusing...and possibly end up like the episode of The Batman "The Everywhere Man" where each consecutive copy is more and more disobedient.

    Wow, why have powers already been repeated? We haven't even gone through a tenth of Superman's arsenal.

    Next power: Super-ventriloquism.

    The power to give anyone instant orgasms.
    Pros: You could get any woman to love you. (You could make a fortune as a sex therapist.)
    Cons: Every gal would want you all to herself so you'd have a lot of stalkers. Also if you can't control it when you sleep you could cause some serious accidents.

    Next power: Super fast healing.
