The big idea

Flying, super strength, invisibility — yawn, those are taken. Use AI to brainstorm a totally NEW superpower nobody's thought of. The weirder, the better!

Some examples

'Suggest 5 superpowers based on EVERYDAY THINGS like socks or toast.'
'Invent a superpower that only works on Tuesdays.'
'Make a power that's super useful but also kinda gross.'
'Combine 2 ordinary things into a superpower.'

Try it!

Ask AI: 'Invent a superpower based on a snack and a school subject.' What did you get?
