Lethal Harmless Powers	comment	There's oodles of different kinds of powers, some lethal and some harmless. Having obviously lethal powers has remarkably many downsides. Bad Powers, Bad People means the owners can't use them at all for fear of becoming killers, they tend to miss a lot when aimed at heroes, and they tend to corrupt or slowly kill them anyway. This can make the "wimps" with the power of Heart become surprisingly useful by using their "harmless" powers in surprisingly creative ways. One of which is using the harmless power in a horrifyingly lethal way. Turns out the kid with a Green Thumb can make the local flora emit toxic pollen, the Barrier Warrior just needs to tilt her barrier to use it as a knife or project them with enough force to form a makeshift battering ram and smash the target into paste, or the person who can create love can also create fear so powerful it makes people's hearts explode, or the White Mage with Healing Hands can reverse her ability to rapidly drain Life Energy, or worse, heal too much and give the victim horrible cancer. Other times, the power itself always had the lethal applications, such as Psychic Surgery being used not to take bullets out of a person, but to put them in... by hand. However, the character had a self imposed Drama-Preserving Handicap in the form of Mind over Manners or Non-Lethal Warfare to avoid becoming a villain. But eventually, these heroes will face a situation that crosses the Godzilla Threshold. Maybe their life or the life of a loved one is at stake, or a villain just pushed their buttons in the worst possible way and forces their gloves come off. And even if that does not happen, they may still have their power stolen by an unfettered villain and see it exploited to its full lethal potential, whether they like it or not. It goes without saying that this is Darker and Edgier stuff, and in generally light series a hero forced to use the lethal applications of their abilities will probably enter a Heroic BSoD even if they don't kill an enemy. Some heroes who do a lot of thinking on their powers will usually realize they can do this and get very, very scared of the potential horror should the Instant Allegiance Artifact, Mirror Morality Machine, (or plain old life) make them do a Faceâ€“Heel Turn. This doesn't mean they won't ever use this potential application; they can use it to simply threaten enemies. This causes a related phenomenon — villains very rarely get the powers that can be abused in this way specifically for this reason. When they do, they become Good Powers, Bad People. Compare Dangerous Forbidden Technique and Required Secondary Powers. May cause viewers to decide that Heart Is an Awesome Power. Contrast the Inverse Law of Complexity to Power. Similar to Lethal Joke Item, in that neither are taken seriously until their lethality is revealed. Often an aspect of a Semantic Superpower.

No guns, no bullets, just ribbons. HOWEVER, also by Word of God, she was in Magical Girl business since as young as 13 years old. How? Well, Ain't No Rule that she couldn't shape ribbons in a way that can shoot magical bullets, also made of specially made ribbons. One engineering lesson later.... Also, Ain't No Rule She can't make anything, anything, from ribbons, including a functional copy of herself. She's John Stewart if he was a Magical Girl.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_1367cea0	comment	Worm loves this trope. A lot. Anyone with a seemingly odd or over-specialized power can be relied upon to do something clever with it. Justified by the fact that, because of their source, every power has some sort of combat capability, even if the person who has the power isn't aware of what it is.. Shatterbird is capable of controlling silicon with ultrasound. Silicon like in electronics or sand or glass—and she can give it sudden explosive movement. Plus anything she effects can extend her range by affecting other nearby objects, allowing it to hit a city at once. Now think about how much glass you have near you right now. Having Shatterbird break all the glass in a city is the Slaughthouse Nine's preferred way of announcing their arrival. Tattletale has the ability to fill in the blanks in incomplete information—essentially giving her superpowered intuition. In one early chapternote Agitation 3.3, she uses this ability to deduce the complete floor plan of a bank from a satellite image of its footprint. In later chaptersnote Scourge 19.3 and 19.4, she figures out a way to tear a hole in The Multiverse and connect their universe to another. Much later on, this power is used to fill in the gaps that the Entities deliberately left in the powers they gave humans to hide their presence, letting her extrapolate their true nature using those exact gaps. Panacea acts almost exclusively as a healer in the story, but the sheer versatility and potential terror of her power makes one glad for that fact. At one point she accidentally turned her adopted sister, Glory Girl, into a still living mass of various body parts. She also manipulates a bacteria to counteract the effect of a toxic developed by Bonesaw. If she wanted to, she could do something similar with more malicious intent and wipe out humanity with any manner of horrific diseases. Trickster can swap his current position with anyone he can see, and do this with others as well. He can, for example, jump off a building and proceed to swap his position with a target, causing them to fall in his place- he actually uses a variation of this (with a stuffed dummy instead of himself) to take down Cherish. Canary is an example of an accidental use of this trope. Her power causes anybody who hears her sing to become susceptible to commands. The problem is, it comes with a side-effect of making victims extremely Literal-Minded. Telling someone under the control of Canary's power to stand still will make them stand absolutely rigid- they won't even breathe or blink. Canary's ends up getting sent to the Birdcage (super-villain prison), after she told her boyfriend to go screw himself- and he actually tried to. Apparently the results were very unpleasant. The Number Man's superpower is being Good with Numbers. What exactly does that allow him to do? Well, among other things, he can effortlessly dodge any attack, survive ten-story falls without a scratch, Wall Crawl, shatter an enemy's skull with a tap of his finger, take down a warehouse the size of a city block with a couple grenades in the right places, and is among the world's most dangerous Cold Snipers. As for how he uses those powers? He used to be a member of the Slaughterhouse Nine—under the name Harbinger — as (presumably) a teenager, before he helped kill their leader at the time and left. Now he works for Cauldron and is one of the top-rated Thinkers in the world. Taylor Hebert, the main character, has the ability to command bugs (really, any arthropods) within two blocks of her location. All the bugs within two blocks of her location, simultaneously. The weakness of any individual bug doesn't matter that much when she sends out swarms of thousands of them (and the number of bugs in the typical two block radius from a given urban point is usually much larger) at a time, and that's before she starts getting clever and does things like having hornets airlift in black widow spiders to drop on people she doesn't like. Insects don't understand human anatomy, and tend to fly away when the colossal things they're pestering start to swat at them or spray toxic chemicals on them. Taylor's bugs, on the other hand, are controlled and directed by a human intelligence. Imagine being attacked by a wasp that isn't going to run, knows to go for your eyes, groin or fly into your mouth, and will keep stinging and biting until you kill it. Now imagine a thousand of them. You don't fuck with Skitter. Direct applications aside her ability to access the senses of the bugs gives her what's effectively clairvoyance and perfect battlefield knowledge since she can simply place a bug on an enemy or door and track its movements, as well as using spider silk to form traps and the sheer terror factor of being attacked by a swarm can make dealing with her a nightmare. Capes classified as "Strangers" generally have powers that make them harder to detect or attack, with examples including making others physically unable to look at them or unable to notice them. This can be problematic when someone you are unable to notice or harm starts stabbing you or strangling you. Nice Guy's power is being The Nondescript. He's a Serial Killer who gets away with brutal acts right in front of people, who see him as a harmless bystander, if they notice him at all. Even people he's actively harming don't always notice. August Prince is a villain who's power is simply that no one can intentionally hurt him. Plans to harm him cannot be made in the first place, and if he is strangling someone they are unable to harm him to defend them self. The villain String Theory is a Tinker whose creations only work once and have to be set on a timer. However, if she has enough resources to work with, her devices can do anything. She could strike targets across the world, was threatening to knock the moon out of orbit when she was captured, could inflict serious damage on the god-like Endbringers, and managed to send Scion flying into space with her G-Drive. Another villain, Phir Se, has the ability to create portals that go back in time a few minutes. He's one of the most feared villains in India, and in the one demonstration of his power that we see, he rigged portals to continuously double and re-double particles of light over the course of three straight days, leading to a Wave-Motion Gun with sufficient power to vaporize the entire Indian subcontinent. He shot it at one of the above mentioned Endbringers, Behemoth, leading to the single greatest amount of damage anyone had ever inflicted on an Endbringer, reducing the civilization-destroyer to only 20% of its original body mass.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_17fa5f0a	comment	Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: During the escape from Privet Drive, several people disguise themselves as Harry to muddle the trail. However, Harry's use of Expelliarmus, which the Death Eaters perceive as his Signature Move, betrays him as the real one. While being berated over this later, Harry defends himself by pointing out that using a stunning spell, perfectly harmless under normal circumstances, on somebody who's on a broomstick hundreds of feet up in the air would be just as lethal as the "unforgivable" killing curse. That said, the main reason why Harry used â€œExpelliarmusâ€� was because he saw that Stan Shupike was part of the chase and believed that Stan had been put under the Imperius Curse: had he been chased by a real Death Eater, he might have used the Stunning Spell. Then, during the Battle of Hogwarts, Bellatrix Lestrange makes the mistake of nearly killing Ginny Weasley with a Killing Curse and earns the wrath of her mother, Molly Weasley. In the book, she uses a spell that Word of God later reveals is the Stunning Spell â€¦ but Molly is so mad that her spell has enough power to literally stop Bellatrixâ€™s heart! The moral of the story is, never mess with a Mama Bear!

While it definitely makes her a good restaurant critic, it doesn't look that harmful... until she sends several armed terrorists to the hospital by loudly reciting an unabridged review of a particularly bad restaurant. Later, her powers are revealed to be able to induce fatal food poisoning. Xocoscalpere has the power to sculpt chocolate with such incredible accuracy, that anything that he crafts can mimic properties of the real things. Naturally, this power is used almost exclusively for making weapons — like guns, for example. There also cibopassimy, which allows the user to telepathically broadcast something to all people in the world. While this power doesn't seem scary, it can broadcast a Brown Note, which is exploited to devastating effect.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: Iceman: He usually slides around on ice slides, turns into ice, and throws ice spikes at people. When Emma Frost took over his mind, she was able to get him to turn his entire body into water, enter a river, and come out downstream perfectly fine. She also used moisture to make weapons more effectively, and turned Iceman into a gas as well as a liquid. The entire X-Men Gold team wasn't able to stop him. If he gets hurt as ice and turns back to normal, it heals. Bobby has been confirmed as an "Omega-level" mutant, which, while never defined, seems to amount to "demigod". If only he wasn't so lazy. One enduring effect of this revelation is that Bobby has become even more of a go-to candidate than Wolverine to not-quite-kill to show how dangerous a villain is, since he can be vaporized and still reassemble himself back into water, then ice, then flesh. In Wolverine and the X-Men (Marvel Comics), in which he's a teacher at Wolverine's school, Logan asks him to start being serious. He soon delivers — in the form of multiple ice clones. Nightcrawler: He has mentioned many times that he could use his teleport power to Tele-Frag people, but he has never done it... at least not in the main continuity. In one alternate continuity story, he ended up taking someone's fingers with him when he jumped. In the Age of Apocalypse storyline, that universe's Nightcrawler teleports the AoA timeline's Deadpool's head off. In one in-continuity story, he removes a hi-tech glove off the Red Skull by holding onto it and teleporting... and takes all the flesh off the Skull's hand with it leaving nothing but bone. A much simpler, but effective strategy allowed Nightcrawler to defeat Omega Red, who was giving both Wolverine and Colossus a hard time. He simply teleported Omega Red really high up and let him fall to the ground. Omega Red is functionally Made of Iron; if Nightcrawler did it to someone any less durable... Also, since 'porting is usually uncomfortable and nauseating to those not used to it, he'll also grab someone and quickly and repeatedly port them until they pass out. It gets taken to a whole new extreme◊ in Uncanny X-Force, where Age of Apocalypse Nightcrawler kills Blob by teleporting a live shark into his stomach. It's also been suggested that he could just leave them in the dimension he travels through when he teleports if he bothered to learn how. This dimension by the way is Hell; that's why being teleported by Nightcrawler is an unpleasant experience. Shadowcat: Once, when Marrow's bone-growing powers were going out of control, Shadowcat used her ability to pass through matter to pull her out of the gnarled mass of bone. Marrow wondered aloud how she could've done it, since the bones were still part of her body, and Shadowcat mentioned that, were she so inclined, she could pluck vital organs out of people's chests. In a 2010 What If? One-Shot comic, Kitty does exactly that, stopping a possessed Emma Frost by pulling out her heart while the latter is halfway through transforming into her invincible diamond form◊. In another What If? issue, Kitty sorrowfully Mercy Kills a Brainwashed and Crazy Wolverine by leaving her severed hand lodged in his brain. Noting also that Shadowcat, were she so inclined, can also leave a person behind as she's going with them through something solid. She's made the threat various times. She actually does this to the Hulk once, though Hulk being Hulk, it only stops him temporarily. In the Magik miniseries, the alternate version of Shadowcat defeats the alternate version of Nightcrawler in a sword fight... by leaving her sword in his leg. An alternate Kitty Pryde in Exiles kills an evil, alternate Wolverine by pulling his claws from his body, then removing other parts offscreen. Later in the arc, she does much the same to an evil alternate Sue Richards (see Fantastic Four above), phasing through her and pulling what appears to be her aorta or some other large major artery out of her chest, causing death by internal bleeding. Shinobi Shaw is a rare example of a villain with such powers — his powers are identical to Kitty's, and squeezing people's hearts while still in their chest is his signature move. Dazzler: She originally had the power to convert sound into light. Then it turned out she could focus the lights into lasers. Then it was hinted that, given time, she could reach the point where she could convert any of the fundamental forms of energy into any other, effectively becoming a god. In her old solo series, she once channeled the ocean's roar into a beam strong enough to stun Galactus. The Klaw is made of soundwaves. Naturally, it didn't end well for him when he fought Dazzler. There's also the fact that the word "light" can be interpreted fairly loosely, and technically refers to any form of electromagnetic radiation... including gamma rays and microwaves. The Morlock Masque has the ability to change anyone's appearance by touch. Doesn't sound so scary — until you consider what happens if he decides your appearance doesn't need to include a mouth or a nose. Jubilee: She could make pretty little fireworks in the air. She often used it to blind flying enemies, causing them to crash. However, there was a lot of foreshadowing indicating that she was actually an inversion - she functionally had The Power of the Sun (indicated as a potential omega class) but a mental block kept her abilities at a relatively harmless level. This has actually been demonstrated on one occasion; when she thought Wolverine had been killed by the Mandarin, she absolutely lost her shit and let out a burst of energy so massive it leveled the Mandarin's castle. The place was so thoroughly wrecked that the Mandarin was never able to use it again. In one issue, she used her powers to run a fusion reactor by channeling her powers directly inside it. Even with the mental block restraining her powers to a mostly harmless level, when Jubilee caught her parents' murderers, she noted that by putting her fingers to their ears and using her powers she'd be able to fry their brains. Though very tempted, she refrained from doing so. Sage's power revolves around helping other mutants control their and strengthen their powers. The villainous Fabian Cortez has the same ability, but pushes a mutant's power out of control, killing them. Cortez once does this to Magneto, and almost succeeds in killing him. Unfortunately for all involved, this makes Magneto even more powerful when he recovered. One-time X-Man Dr. Cecilia Reyes initially had a personal forcefield that would protect her from harm (mostly). With a little practice, she discovered she could make the forcefield spikey... In the Age of Apocalypse continuity, the teleporter Blink demonstrates what happens if she closes one of her portals while somebody is halfway through. A fairly powerful (and ugly) villain gets turned to dust. When this version of Blink is brought back in Exiles, she (temporarily) dispatches a Superman Expy by teleporting a few tons of sand inside him. A self-inflicted example was Sally Floyd's mutant daughter, Minnie, who developed the power to reverse her age. Since this manifested when she was only two years old, she had no way to control it, regressing until she turned back into a fetus and died. New X-Men: Academy X: Elixir has the ability to control the biological structures of organic matter. This power normally manifests as Healing Hands, but he is also capable of using them to deliberately infect people with diseases. He's used this power to outright kill one villain, and gave another an inoperable brain tumor - in the shape of an X. Using his powers in this way turns his normally gold skin metallic black. In an alternate continuity story, he teams up with a mutant with Touch of Death, which when combined with his Healing Hands causes parts of the victim to continually die and regenerate, a process said to be "quite painful".

In Chapter 449, she revealed she's learned how to use her defensive shield to turn her attacker's power into something that not only turns back onto its originator, but which also detonates on that attacker like a bomb. Her healing abilities reject events, which is why she can regenerate missing limbs. Its implied that if she kept going, she could erase your existence. During the Thousand-Year Blood War, Uryu Ishida reveals his unique Quincy ability known as The Antithesis. This ability allows Uryu to designate any two targets and completely reverse anything that has already occurred between the two of them. For example, if UryÅ« were to be greatly injured while fighting an opponent, he could reverse what occurred between himself and his enemy, simultaneously healing himself while grievously wounding his opponent. Unfortunately for him, his opponent's own ability effectively allowed him to reverse that reversal, putting him right back at square one.

One of the 72 Great Demons and the butler of the Witch, Beatrice, he has no offensive magic unlike the Witches, Siesta Sisters or Purgatory Stakes. Ronove only has the ability to create impenetrable shields around himself. In Episode 4, he uses this to try to crush his opponent against a wall. Even more impressively, Shannon used this and Loophole Abuse to kill MARIA, the Witch of Origins who could not be targeted by offensive abilities due to her Diplomatic Immunity. She did this by slowly expanding her shield until it crushed her, and her familiar Sakutaro against a barrier MARIA had made. Gaap, another of the 72 Great Demons has the Power to instantly move anything, anywhere using bottomless holes which can appear absolutely anywhere, but only when humans who do not believe in magic are not looking. Normally used to travel, move corpses and cause general mischief, she used this power in episode 4 of the visual novel to redirect George's deadly Kick Fatality against Gaap and Jessica's unstoppable fist attack against Ronove towards each other. Thus causing the cousins George and Jessica to accidentally kill each other. This was despite the fact that George and Jessica were in completely different areas of the Ushiromiya Mansion at that time.

Wonder Woman (1987): By this point the Lasso's powers had been streamlined and more clearly defined; it is indestructible and those in its power cannot lie and are forced to face the truth about whatever the wielder is questioning them on. In Wonder Woman's hands these life altering revelations usually lead to people reforming to an extent, but even then they lead several people to their deaths via sacrificing themselves for the greater good, and in more cruel hands can cause people to kill themselves in despair. Wonder Woman (2006): Diana is horrified when Genocide gets hold of her lasso, as she knows the being will use it to torture people with twisted cruel truths they cannot escape from until they're allowed to kill themselves. Wonder Woman: Odyssey: Nemesis uses the lasso to drive people insane and to their deaths.

Usually this spell is used for defence, but using it on a Voodoo Doll (which shares all damage it sustains, including status effects, with the enemy player) would practically force your opponent to hit themselves. "Rage Potion" increases a target creature's attack by five points, but lowers its health by the same amount. This is a useful tool in eliminating creatures with low health, but it can also be used on a Voodoo Doll, simultaneously hurting the enemy and boosting the Doll's attack power.

Earlier in the series, Harry also turns an otherwise useless spell, designed to take control of brooms for easy cleaning, and uses them to drive off a horde of poison scorpion golems. Molly Carpenter is incredibly skilled at illusions, which, while extremely useful, aren't really a great combat-oriented power (at least, compared to Harry's massive amounts of fire). That is, until she uses her "One Woman Rave" to disorient and blind enemies and gets them to attack thin air/each other by making it look like she's in a different place than she actually is, or to make a Dirty Cop think the man bribing him is reaching for a gun.

Thus, the webnovel series is chock full of cool power abuse cases. Aquerna was originally considered a joke and Squirrel Girl wannabe. Her mutant ability includes the ability to talk with squirrels as if she were one of them. 'That' is harmless. Being kind to her many furry friends with sharp incisors and sharper claws: super harmless. For the mean Good Ol' Boy attacking their beloved Big Squirrel, being bitten and clawed by a swarm of angry squirrels is devastating.

The first time you see her use it, she opens up a Tear to Paris, to check how accurate her painting of the Eiffel Tower is. Later in the game she uses it to bring in gun or rocket turrets. Maximum deadliness occurs when she opens up a window to a tornado. In the finale she teleports herself, Booker and Songbird, the giant robot-monster-bird-thing that was threatening them, to the underwater city of Rapture.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_50bcf7a6	comment	In Homestuck, your powers are determined by your Title, which follows the format X of Y (as in Gent of Piss). While the Aspect can be any monosyllabic concept like Mind, Hope, or Heart (most of which sound non-lethal), the actual Class can modify a non-lethal Aspect into a dangerous force. For example, a Prince of Mind would, based on game mechanics, be able to destroy the brains of his enemies, and a Knight of Heart would be able to weaponize souls. Inversely, a potentially-deadly Aspect, such as Rage or Void, could be turned passive by its class. For example, an Heir of Void would just be able to make things near-impossible to find. "Things" could include part of enemies or entire hostile armies. For specific examples, we have John, the Heir of Breath. Doesn't sound that impressive compared to Time or Space manipulation. How about creating cyclones over lava, turning them into fire tornadoes with which to strike your enemy? Generating a windstorm so intense it drills through continents? Global hurricanes within seconds? Turning into wind to make yourself untouchable? It's quite a useful and versatile power, really. There's also Dirk, the Prince of Heart. In Sburb's mechanics, Heart = Soul. Dirk is therefore able to tear a person's soul from their body. Yikes. Going by this logic, the often by fandom portrayed as innocent and cute, Nepeta as the Rogue of Heart is able to yank a soul out of a body and then redistribute it among her allies. And then there are the troll blood traits. Some are awesome: immense telekinetic powers, Mind Control, and the like. Then there's Tavros, who can control animals. The lethal part is that it affects enemy Mooks generated by Sburb/Sgrub, like imps and ogres, enabling Tavros to make them his minions and breeze through the game without ever touching his class powers. Then he casually mentions to Jade that he can command First Guardians this way. Yes, talking to animals is a Story-Breaker Power in Homestuck. Light is similar. Light symbolizes fate, knowledge, and literal light. Sounds pretty weak, right? It has so far been used to navigate the lack of physical space between universes, kill enemies without its user lifting a finger by robbing them of their fortune, and Mind Raping someone into insanity. And all Light heroes have access to these powers, just to different extents. Jack Noir, after obtaining power of a First Guardian not only get a ton of different deadly powers, but manage to weaponize non-lethal one - he used ability to turn his own body into a portal, to redirect bullets, aimed at him, in Dave's back. Jade has teleporting powers, similar to Jack's. She once threatened to kill Roxy by teleporting her intestines out of her body.

Sounds unimpressive, but the odd magical biology of Xanth means that one application of this is to conjure pineapples (slang for hand grenades in the real world, but more literal in Xanth) out of thin air. The Big Bad of Night Mare turns out to be one of these, a fellow called the Horseman who has the unimpressive ability to create a line of sight between two points. Useful for espionage, but not much else, right? Well, there are these things called Hypnogourds that are gourds with a peephole in them, and if you look into one you fall into a trance until something breaks your gaze. Since the Horseman can effectively force you to look into one by magic, and nothing can break the connection, he can take down anyone in a second. Nearly a dozen kings of Xanth, the most powerful magic users in the country, fall by this method.

Because his only ability is to heal (and that causes him extreme pain), he is used as a drugged-up slave by the rest of his party. Eventually it turns out that "healing" in this setting, at least when used by a Hero-level healer, amounts to biomanipulation (with a side-order of telepathy). So debuts the aptly named [Corruption] Heal, a technique in which Keyaru uses the same power that would normally allow him to restore someone to peak shape to wreak havoc on the target's organism instead, killing them instantly and often messily.

But the inverse is also true - healing hurts them, and it isn't stopped by the Resistance stat, so even weak heal spells can kill them outright. Since healers are usually held back by their restrictions (they only get a pittance exp from healing, and no mana), this becomes a very potent grinding spot for them. Anyone in a Disgaea game who is in the midst of a grueling Item Dive can position their units all around these panels. Take out any units that can hit you with healing, then just have your units beat themselves up so you heal your own army without spending a single SP point.

The class includes a mortal incarnation of Hestia, the Goddess of the Hearth (who can promote fertility and forge harmony within a troubled family). Another kid can turn anything edible, delicious, and nutritious. Other powers includes Green Thumb, superfast tunneling, and creating music. All harmless but no doubt profitable in the right places. Until the Lower-Deck Episode, 'The Rainmaker Cometh'... turns out Hestia becomes nigh-omnipotent if she's protecting a home from an interloper, that suddenly-growing trees are an effective way to swat flying foes from the skies, while properly amplified music can disorient and stun. The digger can take people with him underground... and leave them there. The terrifying potential of the food-creator goes unmentioned - this isn't a horror-comic, after all. It's clear, though, that his powers change the consistency of the object, since he's seen eating rocks despite having non-superpowered teeth. So imagine if he just went and transformed your body into something with the consistency of whipped cream... Incidentally, the titular Rainmaker that the class and the episode is named for, was one of these too. The first superpowered individual to appear with a 'harmless' power - to make it rain, or STOP raining. Useful for helping out farmers, but otherwise no biggie. So the Government Conspiracy spirits him away to a secret lab to use him as a guinea-pig in order to perform basic research on the hows and whys of superpowers, just 'cuz he can't fight back effectively. One Mad Scientist experiment later, and he creates a flood that effectively destroys the entire facility.

Even the most combat-oriented elements have non-combat application (inverse) such as using metalcraft to gild, using firecraft to make iceboxes ("coldstones"), earthcraft to mine, and so forth. One ability of Earthcrafting is to incite lust, so exotic dancers and prostitutes are actually highly skilled Earthcrafters as a result of using it every day. At one point Tavi employs a group of them to help rapidly construct some very impressive and critical fortifications. The "softer" elements, water and wood, are often overlooked, but Tavi figures out that you could use clever applications of water and wood to make cracks in stone and fill them with plants to expand the cracks, and so on, effectively weaponize wear and tear. When it happens it allows a single person to take down walls viewed previously as unassailable. Even Tavi is shocked at how incredibly effective it is.

The enemy wizards know Black Magic which boosts their power to insane levels. The good guys know... Healing. Turns out that since they didn't realise such magic was possible, the enemy wizards don't know to block it. This allows a protagonist to speed up an enemy wizard's heart until he has a heart attack.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_6a8aff51	comment	The Stormlight Archive: Windrunners and Bondsmiths share access to the Surge of Adhesion, which simply lets them stick things together. Turns out that this can be quite useful in a fight, as the Surgebinder sprays power over a large area, all his opponents stick to it, and then he kills them while they're stuck. It helps that the Surgebinder is immune to their own Adhesion. Windrunners and Skybreakers also have the Surge of Gravitation, allowing them to redirect, amplify or lessen the effects of gravity on anything they can touch. The standard use of this is to change gravity to allow people to fly (or run on walls and ceilings indoors), allowing for fantastic mobility in or out of flight. It also can be used to send giant stones "falling" horizontally along the ground into groups of enemies or to send people straight up into the air until the Stormlight used in the Surge runs out, causing them to return to normal gravity and fall to their deaths. Soulcasting is the ability to change things from one material to another. Waste can be turned into food, structures can be built from wood before being cast into stone, wood can be produced in areas where it is scarce and so on. Soulcasters are relatively rare and is generally seen as a holy power, so they are use more or less exclusively for logistical purposes. However Jasnah starts using it to turn her enemies into things people aren't generally made of like stone or smoke, or condensing the air into a wall of pitch then soulcasting a bit of fire into it.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: The 3rd edition features quite a few spells that summon or conjure something somewhere within the spell's range. Sadistic players could easily confound their DM by choosing "Inside that orc"note this actually required the players and the GM to ignore the line under general spellcasting rules that you had to conjure creatures and objects in empty spaces. The next edition amends most conjuring rituals to say the caster needs to be able to see the location they are targeting, which mostly solves this (since if you can already see inside the highwayman's lungs, any sadistic spellcasting is purely recreational). A particularly famous version involves the lowest-level druid spell Create Water. The spell's evident purpose is to provide clean water for the adventuring party or maybe quench a small fire. Even at the lowest caster-level the spell creates a gallon of water: more then enough to give even large enemies a lethal case of hydrocephalus. The rules also state you cannot summon a creature outside of its habitat. This is primarily to stop people from dropping whales on bandits. From 100 feet up. Shrink Item. Combined with "Fly", allows to drop something really heavy on the enemy. The "Locate City" spell immediately notifies the caster of the location of a city within 10 miles. Seems harmless enough. With the right combination of reasonably minor feats (and a cooperative GM), it can become a nuclear-esque blast that kills everything within 10 miles and then resurrects them as Wraiths.note This one actually takes some explaining to make sense. As stated, the spell Locate City targets a city and notifies you of its location. Then, there's a feat that allows you to tack exactly 1 ice damage on to any spell you cast. There's another feat that states that if you do any ice damage to anything, you tack another 2d6 or so on top of it. Finally, there's a final feat that states that if you kill anything using a spell, in 24 hours it rises as a wight. Since the spell targets the entire city, it deals 2d6+1 cold damage to everything in the "area of effect" (the city). That's enough to kill most low-level non-adventurers, thus causing them to come back as wights. It's since been errataed that before the "Tack 1 ice damage" feat can add an ice damage, the spell has to deal at least 1 damage to begin with, rendering this tactic unfortunately moot. It can also be done using the Explosive Spell feat, which pushes all enemies within the area of effect to the outside of it-dealing damage based on how far they go. Given a spell with an area of effect measured in the miles, the resulting blast will kill anything. The first level spell Hypnotize is intended to be essentially a Jedi hand wave, but the wording made it so that even after the spell wore off the subject was "one step more friendly" in the regards of whatever you hypnotized them to do. D&D quantifies friendliness, and explicitly states that the highest level, Fanatical, is enough to make people throw themselves in front of rampaging dragons for you. A first level character given enough time and castings can brainwash entire continents into being their die-hard lackeys. Under some interpretations of the rules, a Cleric with healing spells can be the most dangerous thing to undead, as healing magic causes them to take damage. This same rule is explicitly described as one of the few sure ways to kill a Nilbog, a (non-undead) creature that actually gains hit points every time it sustains damage. Healing, on the other hand, does it injury. Clerics in general can come off as a Lethal Harmless Class to people who are only tangentially familiar with the game and assume that they're Support Party Members used primarily for healing the party. In reality, clerics are surprisingly versatile casters that can specialize in different things depending on the Domain of their deity, and that their spell repertoire includes such lovely and totally not horrifying spells as Inflict Wounds, Harm, and Contagion, as well as the ability to summon The Undead.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_6ade118b	comment	Yureka: High-level player Roto knows a low-level shield spell which is too weak to block any of the magic he normally faces. Except that he can still use it to cast offensive spells on himself and deflect them at enemies, and a spell that's already been reflected can't be stopped by any kind of shield... Later in the story he defeats a hacker with Super-Speed by casting a "haste" spell on him, making him Too Fast to Stop. Both of these strategies are copied and used by other characters (the shield trick was broadcast on national television, while the haste trick was common knowledge among denizens of the Dragon Lands). Roto does this again by casting a "berserk" spell on one of his allies... who dislikes hurting people but has absurdly high stats.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_72262aee	comment	Avatar: The Last Airbender: It's repeatedly mentioned that airbending is primarily defensive in nature, wielded by the pacifistic Air Nomads, but a few times, like during the discovery of Monk Gyatso's body note His body is on top of probably dozens of Firebenders', implying that he killed them all, we see that it can be used to devastating effect. This leads to a lot of Ascended Fridge Horror in The Legend of Korra when a dangerous criminal named Zaheer gains airbending after Harmonic Convergence and shows no qualms about using it on others in incredibly lethal ways, such as using it to asphyxiate the Earth Queen. Waterbending can also be applied in a rather nasty fashion known as bloodbending, essentially puppeteering someone through the liquids in their body. Hama used it to try to force Aang and Sokka to kill each other, while Yakone appears to have attempted to crush Aang's organs. Ty Lee and the Equalists use a technique called chi-blocking that allows them to temporarily nullify bending powers or just non-lethally incapacitate people by striking pressure points on their body to disrupt the flow of chi. Yakone's son Amon uses it in combination with the aforementioned bloodbending to permanently De-power or cripple people.

In earlier novels this is just an unfortunate side effect, but later on characters develop roving gateways that can be swept across battlefields for ludicrous gibs. This is of particular use against shadowspawn, who can't travel through gateways at all so that the whole portal (not just the edge) is deadly. This then leads to piles of inhuman corpses at the other end of the portal. Generals are also able to use them to station lines of cannons in safe positions and fire through the portals at the enemy or get a birds-eye view of the battle for easy up-to-the-minute intelligence. Healing powers can also be used to stop a beating heart and for torture. Green Men are biological constructs with the ability to encourage plants to grow.

Komori's power to grow mushrooms seems harmless at first glance, until she uses it to one-shot Tokoyami by sprouting spores that had drifted into his throat, instantly suffocating him. And that's not even getting into the potential applications of the poisonous mushrooms she could theoretically grow. Mr. Compress can transform anything he touches into a compact, marble-like ball. Seems like a party trick, but his power doesn't discriminate between living and nonliving things, and it can also selectively shrink parts of his targets, breaking the targeted piece away from the whole, a functionality he exploits to tear off one of Chisaki's arms in a piece of Laser-Guided Karma. Normally you don't get an idea of how dangerous Uraraka's Gravity Master quirk is, as she doesn't generally use it for brutal offense. When the quirk is copied by Himiko Toga however, it becomes clear she could splatter people against concrete as she pleased if she really wanted to. Hanta Sero can create limitless amounts of sticky tape, but it's strong enough to cause suffocation if left over someone's nose and mouth for too long, as Mineta found out the hard way during an exam battle against Midnight when he decides to take a knocked-out Sero and run for the exit using some of his tape as a crude gas mask to avoid breathing in Midnight's Somnambulist gas and passed out after crossing the exit line.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_989c6002	comment	The Law of Ueki is all about this trope. Metatron decides to retire and let someone else be the Face of God (mostly so he can get laid), and runs a contest for the seat; each angel gives an ordinary middle-school kid superpowers to win the contest, on the one condition that they apply a Power Limiter in the form of a cute condition. Ueki in particular has the power to recycle (hand-sized only) trash... by transmuting it into a giant tree. Then there's the guy who can turn electricity into sugar and back by squinting his beady little eyes, which he uses to transmute batteries into sugary powder and then into a cloud of lightning.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_9d34190a	comment	Throughout the series The Elder Scrolls, the Restoration school of magic usually deals with healing, protection, curing diseases and sometimes destroying the undead. Even In-Universe the school is mocked by practitioners of other schools, with Restoration master Colette Marence supposedly being mocked and borderline bullied by some colleagues at the College of Winterhold. However, in several games, spells that absorb something from a target and transfer it to the caster are classified as Restoration, which means that you could use Restoration to horrifically drain a target of life while making yourself healthier, vampire-style. In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, all such effects are reclassified into Destruction, but multiple mods carry on the horrifying legacy of Restoration. Ordinator, one of the most popular Skyrim perk overhauls, includes ways for Restoration to both inflict diseases instead of curing them and have normal healing spells harm hostile targets instead (presumably by wreaking havoc on the organism with the sheer overload of life force).

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece is full of this. In general, power sets in One Piece have a specific theme, but the sky's the limit with how one can use those powers, given enough experience with them. Devil Fruit powers canonically don't get stronger; their users just get more creative with them. One of the things this series is known for is its incredibly pragmatic use of weird and otherwise useless powers. Nico Robin's Flower-Flower fruit gives her the power to sprout new limbs like flower petals. Thing is, they don't have to be attached to her body. Does her opponent have a neck? snap Kaku can turn into a giraffe, who makes use of his elongated neck to gain more momentum for his strikes and puts his elongated limbs to work by enhancing his strikes' power and reach; Razor Wind that could previously cut a man in half now can bisect entire buildings. Rocinante can make certain areas completely silent, as well as cause objects and people to be completely silent. It turns out that he is unparalleled in taking out entire groups of people and destroying buildings without anyone noticing, as projectiles from firearms will also be quiet, as are people's screams when shot. Doflamingo's power revolves around strings. Sounds lame, but in practice these strings are sharp enough to slice through almost anything, and its strength can go up to 'utterly unbreakable' with the Birdcage technique. Even worse, he can attach these strings and forcefully take control of someone else's body. The villain from 10th movie, Shiki, has ability to levitate matter. He uses it to create giant lion heads by lifting masses of ground or water and ram them into enemies. Cracker has the ability to generate an unlimited amount of biscuits and, thanks to this power, has amassed a bounty of 860 million Berries. He was able to achieve this destructive power by creating a limitless army of biscuit soldiers—any adversaries he couldn't defeat through brute force, he defeated through attrition. The Big Mom Pirates have multiple candy generators like the one above, and they are all obscenely dangerous thanks to the properties they can imbue their materials with and the tricks they can pull. Opera's whipped cream can become so sweet as to be dangerously caustic, just as an example. Though Katakuri might be the defining one as not only the strongest of the three Sweet Commanders, but right behind Big Mom herself in terms of fighting ability. He has the ability to generate mochi—that is, glutinous rice paste. The way he uses it, however, is essentially Luffy's own fighting style, except bigger and more destructive.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_a43c65b6	comment	Plastic Man is generally considered the funny stretchy guy, but this is a vast understatement of his capabilities: Mentioned in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Strikes Again. Batman launches a series of strikes to free superheroes who have been imprisoned by Lex Luthor's rogue government. During one of the missions, Batman's narration reads "he could kill us all; for him, it would be easy." The panels then reveal who he's talking about... and it's Plastic Man◊. One time, Plastic Man lost his cool after Rama Khan grievously injured Martian Manhunter. The result was Plastic Man turning into a giant snake and viciously crushing the guy like a boa constrictor. The attack was so brutal it ended up giving Khan brain damage and rendering him catatonic. Don't fuck with Plastic Man. Batman famously (or infamously given how often they fall into villainous hands) has contingency plans for how to take down every other hero in the event of them turning evil. When Martian Manhunter went insane and became the nearly unstoppable Fernus the Burning (as the name implies he no longer has the Martian vulnerability to fire, and is still as strong and fast as Superman while also having psychic powers), Batman's contingency plan was Plastic Man. Incidentally, Batman's contingency against Plastic Man himself is even simpler: Don't let Plastic Man become evil in the first place. All of Plas's vulnerabilities come from him being a Nice Guy with a strict code of honor; otherwise, even Batman has no idea how to stop him.

In the game, Max's ability to bring objects back with her when she reverses was mostly just to make certain parts of the game less annoying (outside of a couple of puzzles that rely on it). Here, it's pointed out that if Max killed someone, soaked up all their blood in something she owned, and then reversed time, her victim would suddenly be exsanguinated without a mark on them.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_a6543322	comment	Touhou Project: Reimu Hakurei possesses the ability to fly, which is incredibly lame when considering nearly everyone else in the series can fly on top of whatever power they already possess. Except that Reimu can also, at a whim, fly away from reality, making herself completely invulnerable, and if she didn't place a time limit on it (fighting in Gensoukyou being largely a game) she would never lose. Kogasa Tatara has the power to surprise people, which is unbelievably lame. Except that she managed to surprise the player by reappearing as the Extra Stage midboss, complete with the required massive power boost. While she hasn't done anything else with it yet, fans have logically deduced that, as long as it is surprising enough, she could do almost anything she wants. It can be safely said that few people expected her to appear again in stage 3 of Ten Desires. Subverted by Yuuka Kazami, who has the power to manipulate flowers, which is as weak as it sounds. She can't make flowers bloom in an opponent's throat to stop their breathing or make them grow to giant size and attack people like Poison Ivy, or anything like that, she can just make them grow faster and healthier (as far as we know). She's still an outrageously powerful character despite this. She's simply got strong magic unrelated to her flower-manipulation, and is generally assumed to be physically powerful as well. It's the prime reason fans don't doubt her claims of being one of the strongest Youkai in existence. Lily White is a fairy whose power is to announce the coming of spring. This also sounds unbelievably lame but she can somehow use this power to attack, so apparently riddling you with magical bullets is as good a way as any to announce the coming of spring. Mamizou Futatsuiwa's ability is "disguising things and herself". Although it's a useful ability to have, it doesn't sound too useful for battle, and Mamizou is more of a trickster than a combatant. However, her "disguises" actively change the properties of an object or a person. In the fighting games, she is able to transform an opponent into a harmless animal to incapacitate them, as well as transform her tanuki minions to give them new abilities. Yukari Yakumo's power is the "manipulation of borders", which on the whole is probably not this trope - while the extent of Yukari's ability is vague, if taken to its fullest possible extent, it's likely Reality Warping with the potential to cause the end of the world. What is this trope is her usage of the most common application of her power, the creation of portals, to the point that summoning a literal train from the Outside World to run over her opponent is practically Yukari's Signature Move. And if she has enough knowledge of the Outside World to always know where trains are and to be able to pull them out of reality at will, there is nothing to indicate that she couldn't grab something even more dangerous - such as, say, an atom bomb - if she really wanted.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_b0028436	comment	JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Seemingly harmless Stand powers, like healing or being able to turn into string, become incredibly lethal in the hands of a creative user. From Stardust Crusaders, Steely Dan's Lovers is microscopic and can only exert force proportional to that. But it can attach itself to people's brains, and when its user feels pain, the target of this ability feels the same pain, but amplified several times. This allows him to take someone "hostage" and makes it nearly impossible to fight back against him without also harming the target as any injury great enough to incapacitate Dan would also kill the victim from the shock. Although Dan openly refers to his Stand as the weakest, the only way to defeat it was for Polnareff and Kakyoin to send their own Stands on a "Fantastic Voyage" Plot inside the brain of the victim, Joseph, and during this time Dan was able to boss around Jotaro Kujo, owner of one of the most powerful Stands, and humiliate him in many ways. Diamond is Unbreakable: Josuke Higashikata's Crazy Diamond has the power to return things and people to their original state, usually healing others' wounds (though he can't use Crazy Diamond on himself). Josuke twice destroyed an object and then reverted it to one piece around his enemy, merging them with it and permanently immobilizing them. He's also turned shards of glass into razor-sharp homing missiles by smearing his own blood on them and his target, then "healing" the two bits of blood so that the glass would hit the opponent on its way back. Tamami Kobayashi's Stand, The Lock, can amplify feelings of guilt, getting heavier the guiltier one feels. The most he uses it for is guilt-tripping people into giving him money, but if it gets heavy enough, the victim will attempt to take their own life. JoJolion: Tamaki Damo has the Stand Vitamin C, which makes other people's bodies soft as putty. He then slices them apart with a folded up banknote while they're still alive, and destroys their vital organs while they melt into a puddle of goo. Speaking of banknotes, the useless, parasitic Stand Milagro Man has the power to multiply money, doubling any cash spent or destroyed by the person under its effect. Seems like a pretty great thing to be "infected" by, until the victim realizes that it can't be turned off. As long as they're affected by Milagro Man, any time they get rid of money, ever, it comes back to them doubled. If the victim is too free with their spending, they'll rapidly be buried and crushed to death by the weight of their cash. And the only way to pass it on is to trick someone else into stealing and then destroying one of the bills (or other currency) created by the Stand, which is as difficult as you'd think - especially given that, unusually for a Stand, the existence of 'the Milagro Man' is an Open Secret in Morioh Town. When the Stand is passed on, any money it created vanishes instantly.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_b4996199	comment	Spider-Man: Minor villain Mr. Brownstone a.k.a. Garrison Klum from Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do has the ability to teleport matter... but only a few grams at a time. Since he works as a drug dealer, a few grams of heroin teleported straight to the heart is all he needs to incapacitate or kill someone. On a more mundane but equally criminal front, it can be used to immediately get a customer high by teleporting a smaller dose of heroin directly into their bloodstream. Francis Klum, the third Mysterio and the younger brother of the aforementioned Mr. Brownstone. Francis has teleportation abilities far stronger than that of his brother and can use them to far deadlier effect as he isn't limited to teleporting a few grams of matter. His feats include teleporting Black Cat's mask into Spider-Man's neck and killing his brother Garrison by teleporting into his body and blowing him up. Many people think that the villain Shocker is a loser Butt-Monkey and that his sonic gauntlets are useless. These people are unaware that the gauntlets can kill or deafen people and cause buildings to collapse if he cranks them up high-enough. He's canonically used them to take out the Punisher in a single hit. The only reason Shocker isn't an a-list, city-wrecking bad guy is because he's also a Consummate Professional and prefers to keep his head low. Blowing up buildings doesn't pay, and while murder can pay it also draws a lot more hero attention than mere theft. Spider-Man himself usually uses his sticky powers on inanimate objects to Wall Crawl, but he absolutely can stick to people's skin and use his super strength to rip it off. His clone Kaine was the first one to demonstrate this, using it to leave hand-shaped scars on his enemies (the 'Mark of Kaine'), but the regular Peter is perfectly capable of doing it too if you piss him off enough. Spider-Boy villain the Balloon Man has the ability to manipulate helium gas with his mind. Sounds harmless enough, right? Well, if he mixes said helium with laughing gas and other toxic chemicals, he can pop balloons filled with "attack gasses" to debiltate entire crowds. He also seizes control of the Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons after treating them with a special "Polymer X". This grants the balloons Nigh-Invulnerability, making them indestructible giants that can smash buildings.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_bac475ee	comment	This was also how Brandon Lee died on the set of The Crow. Owing to the film's Troubled Production, the prop crew, rather than spend money on "dummy" cartridges for close-up shots of the revolver used to shoot Lee's character, created some on the cheap by taking actual, live .44 Magnum rounds, pulling the bullets out of the cartridges, dumping out the powder, and reinserting the bullets. However, they forgot to take out the percussion primers, which went off with just enough force to lodge a bullet in the gun barrel. When they loaded that same gun with blanks, the force from the shot sent that bullet flying out the barrel and straight into Lee's chest at close to full speed.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_bc6fee38	comment	In anachronauts, the human witch Emily enters a magical duel with the Fey Archmage Lilith, in which Lilith's condition, according to the rules, is that each participant can only use one spell. Emily doesn't know any combat spells, and specializes in spells with useful effects such as making a perfect cup of tea. Emily's condition is Heart's Guardian; anyone who cherishes the duelists can stand by them in the fight, which means her friends can join in. Emily dodges the blast of fire Lilith throws at her and uses her friends to gain an advantage, then materializes warm, steaming tea directly into Lilith's lungs. Emily then humiliates her opponent further by saving her life using CPR to get the fluid out of her lungs, putting Lilith in debt to Emily. Emily's real power is that she doesn't think like other witches; since magic destroys whatever it is written on when cast, and most human mages memorize spells, they just end up going nuts. Also, they're usually taught the standard brute-force spells, since the Fairie Summer Court thinks of them as disposable.note In Star Wars terms, they're effectively the Sith. Emily is/was Cursed with Awesome to be unable to memorize spells, and has to copy them and read them to cast them, retaining her sanity, and prefers utility spells, which means she has to think tactically in a way that tends to elude the other human witches (sanity loss) as well as the elves who trained them (not very creative). Lilith, an elf, was one of the most powerful mages in the world, and her spell was just Maximized Fireball.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_c0d295c4	comment	Team Fortress 2: The Medic's signature weapon, the Medigun, seems harmless enough; it heals teammates and, after a while, it builds up an "Ubercharge" that turns the healing target invulnerable for eight seconds. It's not so harmless when the Medic pops the charge on, say, a Heavy, who can and most likely will mow down more enemies than he could without the Ubercharge. Pyro's airblast is fairly simple—for the price of some of your primary ammo, you fire a blast of compressed air. It does no damage whatsoever and has a fairly short effective range and a long recovery time before you can use it again. What good is it, then? Well, its main power can be described as 'pushing things.' Like, say, pushing an enemy rocket back at them. Or pushing enemies away from important targets, off cliffs, and into oncoming trains. Or 'pushing' a fire off a teammate to save their life. The airblast is arguably the ability with the greatest variety of uses in the game.

He then slices them apart with a folded up banknote while they're still alive, and destroys their vital organs while they melt into a puddle of goo. Speaking of banknotes, the useless, parasitic Stand Milagro Man has the power to multiply money, doubling any cash spent or destroyed by the person under its effect. Seems like a pretty great thing to be "infected" by, until the victim realizes that it can't be turned off. As long as they're affected by Milagro Man, any time they get rid of money, ever, it comes back to them doubled. If the victim is too free with their spending, they'll rapidly be buried and crushed to death by the weight of their cash. And the only way to pass it on is to trick someone else into stealing and then destroying one of the bills (or other currency) created by the Stand, which is as difficult as you'd think - especially given that, unusually for a Stand, the existence of 'the Milagro Man' is an Open Secret in Morioh Town. When the Stand is passed on, any money it created vanishes instantly.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_c4282b71	comment	Levitating objects with magic is the stock ability of every unicorn from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, and thus is a mundane part of every day life. Of course, this includes other ponies, since Rarity levitates her little sister around and Twilight Sparkle levitates her friends on a few occasions. Then "Magic Duel" airs and Trixie displays just how terrifying this ability can be if misused, since there really doesn't seem to be anything a pony can do about it if levitated against their will. It's somewhat mitigated by the fact that most unicorns aren't strong enough to lift a full-grown pony. (Twilight is The Archmage, Trixie is The Rival to her at the beginning, or at least she sees it that way... a background unicorn once needed Rainbow Dash's help to open a jar after her magic couldn't do it.) Though not lethal, Rarity's magical talent seems to revolve around beautifying things; she can be a living radar for the gems she uses in her clothing-making, she once created special effects for a fashion show of hers... you'd think she wouldn't come in handy when a large tree knocked over by a storm crashed through a house. However, turning a huge tree into several cute little topiaries made them easy to remove. It's all in how you use what you've got!

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The Doctor's sonic screwdriver does just about anything the Doctor needs it to, including turning screws, with sonics. It's also as powerful as needed, so it's really only the Doctor's "generally pacifist unless you get him really mad" tendencies that keep it from being used lethally. The Master's laser screwdriver, on the other hand, is very lethal. Because of lasers, and evil. In "The Day of the Doctor", three incarnations of the Doctor use their sonic screwdrivers in unison and the combined force is enough to destroy a Dalek. Time Lords has the ability to regenerate â€” creating a new body, after their current one is mortally wounded. While they're doing that, their bodies emit beams of energy that can be pretty powerful. River Song weaponizes this by prompting soldiers to shoot her shortly after her regeneration, forcing her body to use remains of the regenerative energy healing bullet wounds and emitting a shock wave, powerful enough to knock the soldiers out. The Doctor later weaponizes regeneration himself, after his regenerative cycle is replenished, which made his body emit a giant beam of energy powerful enough to destroy a Dalek battleship and a town-leveling shock wave that killed the rest of the Dalek army. The TARDIS is a gigantic ship (possibly infinite in size) that manifests as something much smaller (usually a phone box). While this is mostly used for stealth and befuddling first-time companions, the Doctor mentions in "Flatline" that, if the TARDIS was not also playing tricks with gravity, its mass would crack open the surface of the planet on which it lands.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_ca540ab0	comment	Great Lakes Avengers: Most of them have pretty useful powers, but the most dangerous/powerful member of the team is canonically Doorman, a living portal whose powers have a fairly short range. He's capable of sending attacks right back at enemies and has also used his powers to help break into maximum security areas. In one infamous incident, his powers actually killed one of his own teammates by accident; a villain tossed a sai at Doorman, who instinctively activated his powers, unaware that Grasshopper was standing right behind him. The weapon proceeded to fly harmlessly through Doorman and impale Grasshopper through the skull, an event so traumatic it sent Doorman into a deep depression where he refused to use his powers and tried to drive Squirrel Girl off the team because he was terrified of accidentally hurting her. Doorman's powers have been revealed to work by tapping into the Darkforce Dimension, the same dimension that turn Marcus Daniels into the insane supervillain Blackout. That means that he essentially sends objects and people that pass through him to a nightmarish world of pure energy and yanks them back. This means that he could theoretically leave people there if he wanted to (though Doorman would never do so; he's far too much of a Nice Guy).

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_da92c130	comment	Erfworld: Some Caster disciplines have obvious combat applications. Others don't, and are generally intended for utility purposes, but can still be quite dangerous in the right circumstances. Sizemore's magical specialty is Dirtamancy, which his Lord Stanley primarily utilizes for digging tunnels and crafting Golems out of natural materials. But those same tunnels? Sizemore can collapse them on enemy units with a thought, or bend them into a maze to get attackers lost, or turn a tunnel system into a devious assortment of natural pitfalls and other traps. His magic also gives him an intuitive grasp of architecture and structure, allowing him to singlehandedly outflank an invading army. And when mentally linked with Wanda during Chapter 1's climax? He uncroaks (read: brings back to life) a volcano, creating an enormous rain of lava that utterly incinerates both sides of the battle and permanently changes the surrounding landscape. Sizemore, as an Actual Pacifist, is horrified by how terrifyingly lethal his magic can be when used properly. Dittomancers can, well, multiply things. Obviously useful for purposes like doubling army rations or increasing a nation's wealth, Jetstone's Dittomancer also demonstrates just how dangerous Dittomancy can be by multiplying an archer platoon's volley into a Rain of Arrows that would make the Persians of 300 proud. Hippiemancy is the setting's equivalent of White Magic, with spells revolving around promoting peace, calming raging emotions, and growing plants. But in the hands of Olive Branch, each and every aspect of Hippiemancy gets turned on its head for use in war. Olive uses magic intended to promote peace and parley to restrain enemy factions her own forces can't overwhelm, then assassinates their leaders afterwards, or simply uses her Charm Person magic to Mind Rape the enemy into hapless, pliable slaves. She even weaponizes her ability to grow plants to create lethal poisons for use in the aforementioned assassinations, and renders the leader of her own side into a helpless Puppet Queen by forcefully addicting her to plants grown by Olive herself. She even turned her own father into a drug addict - his name is Charlie. Olive's willingness and ability to turn magic intended for peace into a lethal weapon makes her a One-Man Army simply because her tactics are so out-of-the-box for a world whose military forces otherwise rely purely on brute force, and it's only because she grabs hold of the Villain Ball and refuses to let go that she's ultimately defeated.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_e944602	comment	The titular character of Goblin Slayer once said that "creativity is a weapon. Those who fail to use it die first." He frequently utilizes things in ways that are Not the Intended Use, and has defeated hordes of opponents this way. Goblin Slayer once used a Gate scroll to rip a demon into bloody pieces by putting the portal's destination as the bottom of the sea. The intense water pressure cut through the demon's body like a hot knife through butter. Priestess in Vol. 7 gains access to the Purify Water miracle, which allows her purify contaminants in water. However, as it turns out, it works on anything with water in it so when Priestess casts the miracle on a goblin shaman in a panic, the shaman painfully suffers from hydro-poisoning when the miracle turns his blood into water. The Earth Mother visits Priestess in a vision, forbidding Priestess from using the miracle this way again lest she lose her ability to use miracles altogether. Goblin Slayer also frequently has Priestess use her barrier miracle in creative and unusual ways, such as using it to block the only exit to a fortress that Goblin Slayer had just set on fire so that the goblins inside would burn to death, or placing two barriers very close together to squish an enemy between then. On one occasion, the dwarf shaman casts a water walking spell on a sea serpent. As a result, it is forcibly kept out of the water, and ends up suffocating despite being in the middle of an open ocean.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_ef7b3325	comment	Invisible Woman (a.k.a. Sue Storm) of the Fantastic Four: She has the ability to turn invisible and create force-fields. Simple as these abilities appear, Sue is regarded as the most powerful member of the Fantastic Four. She has developed some brilliant applications of her force fields ranging from creating steps to walk on air to massive battering rams. She can, as she stated in Fantastic Four (2005), create a force field inside a body and expand it with lethal — and messy — results. In the Marvel Zombies comics, she demonstrated that you kill a zombie by destroying its brain by going Mama Bear on a zombie She-Hulk. Her invisibility extends to those around her as well. And while not lethal, she was able to blind a pack of zombies by making their optic nerves invisible. She also once threatened a classroom full of teenagers that she could make their clothes invisible. Also, she can make the skin, flesh and skull of a person's head become invisible, allowing ordinary sunlight to directly reach a person's vulnerable brain, rapidly causing heat stroke and slowly lobotomizing them. Invisibility can also make a section of the Earth's ozone layer become invisible (as in, it does not distort or deflect solar radiation), allowing the full might of the Sun to burn whatever she wants. At one point, she creates a forcefield surrounding herself and her family, protecting them from the villain. Then she creates another forcefield encompassing her and the villain. Then she starts extending the first forcefield, crushing the villain into the second one until he surrendered. The various lethal uses of her powers can frequently be seen being used by the Super-Skrull, who doesn't hold back nearly as much on account of being a villain. Also, in Exiles, the eponymous reality-hopping superhero team visits a reality where Sue is the leader of Hydra and shows how horrifying her powers can be. Sue (while evil) also once threatened to kill a man by creating a tiny force field in his carotid artery, which would cause a massive and probably fatal stroke. Lastly, Sue's force fields are hyperspace-sourced. Hyperspace is, in the Marvel Universe, the source of all energy. This allowed her to destroy a Celestial's physical form. The Celestials are a race of Physical God Sufficiently Advanced Alien Precursors. Their antibodies are strong enough to hurt Thor. Sue obliterated one of them effortlessly. She is the only mortal who has ever accomplished such a feat.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_ef8bd4a5	comment	All shield-type weapons in Mega Man work this way, wherein contact with the shield damages enemies just as if you shot them, but it's usually an inefficient way to go about it. However, the Water Shield can deliver up to 8 hits this way, and the Acid Barrier, if invoked under the Power Gear, can harm enemies while Mega Man shoots them. Megamanâ€™s main weapon might be rather less impressive then the rockets, bombs, fire, and blades that other Robot Masters use, and only does a paltry 1 damage per shot to most enemies. However, almost everything is vulnerable to it, including all bosses, and unlike some weapons, itâ€™s unaffected by the environment, being usable underwater and even in space.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_f163bd9f	comment	ElfQuest: Redlance has the benign power to shape wood and make plants grow. A peaceful sort, he's badly traumatized after he's forced to make thorns sprout from his spear's shaft to pierce the clutching hands of a troll in the heat of battle. The comic also has the "inverted healing powers" trick. Leetah is sickened by the idea and uses her power in that way only very, very rarely as a last resort, but Winnowill takes it and turns it up to eleven, especially post-timeskip when she's shown using her magic to casually turn normal animals into monsters and on at least one occasion kills several humans on the spot by turning her flesh-warping powers on them. By the time the "Kings of the Broken Wheel" storyline rolls around it's kind of hard to remember that she even started out as "merely" the Gliders' Smug Snake designated healer.

When the villains start wondering whether she could stop all of them, she blusters and says that she might make a mistake and "accidentally" cause a brain hemorrhage instead. In the first season, Jason Ironheart states that Psi Corps experiments in boosting telekinetic power and refining control is intended to be used to assassinate people by pinching arteries shut, contrary to the more benign and defense-oriented uses he thought were the goal when joining the project.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_f8df4747	comment	The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye introduces a couple. Damus/Glitch is an "outlier" Cybertronian, born with a mutant power - he can temporarily short out any (non-sentient) machinery he touches, but has trouble controlling this gift. However, as time goes on he learns to A) affect living machinery like his fellow Transformers, B) perform it at a distance, and C) eventually make the effect both lethal and auditory, so he can kill with his voice and becomes the villainous Tarn. Minimus Ambus is a "point-one-percenter", a rare Transformer born with a much more powerful spark than most, which normally means the bot will be bigger, tougher, and stronger than his peers. Alas, Minimus is a variant called a "loadbearer" who is actually tiny by Cybertronian standards, and his only gift is being able to support far more mass than he would normally be able to. However, it turns out that this includes the ability to support and power a far bigger body than he was born with, allowing him to don a mechanical suit and become the Grade A Badass known as Ultra Magnus. And in a later issue he has an even more massive body constructed, making him the absolutely gigantic Maximus Ambus. Chromedome is a "mnemosurgeon", a useful if not dangerous skill that allows him to probe the memories of deceased transformers for information. But later issues reveal that a skilled menmosurgeon like him can also rewrite memories, erasing them and effectively brainwashing transformers...and Chromedome used to do just that under the corrupt Senate, an act for which he is desperate to atone. And later still we meet someone whose mastery of mnemosurgery is so great that he can cause transformers to forget how to transform, so when they try they turn inside out. In one issue, Trailcutter claims to be this. His power is making forcefields, and much like The Invisible Woman above he once claimed he could put one inside someone's body and destroy them. He may have been bluffing - he was actually without powers at that moment and successfully psyched an enemy out with this claim. But from the way his powers work, it seems entirely possible that he was telling the truth and is just too much of a Nice Guy to ever actually do that to someone.

In chapter 1, Nagi's first waifu was asked to cast a light spell to temporarily confuse a slaver and skill merchant that were trying to kidnap them in the middle of the night. She responded by summoning a light on par with what exists at the surface of the sun. Later, Nagi gains a Ninja Maid, Aine, who has a skill that creates and expands muddy puddles. The puddles are expanded by sucking moisture out of the environment, including plants, animals... and people. Good thing that Nagi is an Ideal Hero who doesn't want to stand out.

Lethal Harmless Powers / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: It took a holodeck-generated character to hit on the obvious use of the holodeck as a tool that can be used to fool someone into thinking they were someplace they weren't and interacting with people who weren't there. But once it was hit on, it was used in several Trek episodes. Also in TNG, Wesley Crusher devised using the Enterprise main deflector array as a weapon against the Borg. Up till then, it was just the glowing dish on the belly side of the ship. Subsequently, several Trek ships used the deflector in a similar manner. The deflector dish became a go-to solve-everything tool, in fact - anything can be done by rerouting some Technobabble through the main deflector. (Using it as a Wave-Motion Gun never does any good.) There's a reason "Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish/That's the way we do things lad; we're making shit up as we wish" is part of the chorus for Voltaire's song dedicated to technobabble.
