What to Do with a Random Superpower
Build an original character
Roll two powers from different categories and design the hero stuck with both — a telepath who also phases through walls has interesting privacy problems.
The classic debate
"Which power would you pick?" is a perfect icebreaker. Roll three, make everyone choose, and watch the arguments about whether time freeze beats teleportation.
Tabletop character seeds
GMs roll a power and build an encounter around its implications — a villain with luck auras forces players to think about probability.
Writing prompts
The best superpower stories come from drawbacks, not strengths. Roll one and write the scene where it ruins the hero's ordinary Tuesday.
Party and classroom games
Roll a power for each player, then run a cooperative challenge where every ability must be used at least once. Instant team-building exercise.

Are the powers overpowered?
The pool mixes classic strong powers with quirky, limited ones ("time freeze, 10 seconds only") because constraints make better stories than raw power.
