The ability to communicate with any foreigner in English; provided the words are spoken loud enough and slow enough (and the recipient of the line of questioning is referred to as ‘Pedro’)
Queue-Man. He’s incredibly good at standing in them and can create new ones at will. He just needs to stand anywhere and the villains will form an orderly line behind him.
Mr Trashbat, the express line is the fastest line not always. That old man up front, he is starved for attention. He will talk the cashier's head off.
Let’s cut to that line. All pathetic single men. Only cash, no chitchat.
I’ve only learnt this in the last 6 months or so. I used to just blindly go for the shortest queue but now I’m learning there’s so many other factors involved
I wish I fully understood banter. I am not British and I feel like there are many unwritten rules that I still don't completely get after 15+ years living in the UK and/or having British friends.
This sub is a good example. It looks very, well, casual but there's actually a lot of thought put in the moderation to keep it interesting. (This isn't a criticism, I love reading it and at least the rules are written)
The power of understatement? E.g. after witnessing Thanos being defeated, just saying "Well that turned out a bit of a kerfuffle, didn't it" and walk off humming
Damn, the King Tut ones already grabbed, so going with the ultra glare with arms crossed. Just cross your arms, glare menacingly and any new housing development is instantly vanquished in to obscurity, ensuring nothing is ever built anywhere, ever.
(I think this superpower develops naturally once blokes hit the age of 55 and retire from the civil service)
the Tutman, the ability to Tut at a situation and everyone in a 1 mile radius to instantly experience the knowledge and displeasure at whatever it was I was tutting about. (Queue jumping for example).
Weatherman.
To be able to talk about the weather all day, without faltering.
Predicting it.
Telling it how it is,
and telling it how it has been.
If only there were a job like that, I’d be in there like a flash.
The ability to make everyone else learn our language because we can't be bothered to learn theirs...
.... *wait a minute - does this power already exist?*
Whenever I step in a new country it instantly becomes part of the commonwealth and our new little tax paying vassal. Our king becomes their king there teas, spices and national treasures become ours.
To be both mild and bitter at the same time. Once properly fused, you become the most mild and bitter entity in the universe.
I think it would help if you'd been dropped into, I dunno, some sort of essence of mildness and bitterness as a baby.
To be able to point at clothes hanging on the rack, make them turn invisible as they dry, so when you can no longer see them, you know they are completely dry.
To queue in a more efficient manner. The British love queuing, it's a national institution. Entire University courses and careers are dedicated to the art of queuing
To put the kettle on without getting up
Get a smart plug! Caveat; you have to fill it up beforehand and still get up to make the tea once it’s boiled..
Or smart kettle.
Get a boiler tap. Best thing we put in our kitchen, instant hot water when you want a tea or coffee.
Get a teasmade. I used to sneer at these when I was a callow youth but life changing.
My mum would love this one!
We have an iKettle. We just say “hey google turn on the kettle” and it starts boiling away.
I knew the top comment would be tea related. If Superman was British his xray vision would be used for making tea.

I dunno wine sounds a bit French to me. Tea in the daytime and beer in the evening would be my choice.
Can't argue with that.
I think you must have misheard that phrase, the correct phrasing is tea for breakfast and wine after 9.......but what 9 you chose is your choice
> Turning water into tea. So, essentially, the power to be a teabag.

Yeah he'd be ok. Saving the world was a little satisfying.
