Something about powered whump.
The way, in any other situation, they'd be fine.
In any other situation, their power would rip through these bindings and they run.
Superspeed, but the doors locked. What now? Put them in a particle accelerator, good luck doing your stupid 'fazing through walls' trick now.
Ice powers? Their partners dying of hypothermia. Stuck in a too hot room. Stuck in an absolute zero room, no way to make it colder. Can't freeze the lock, its already as cold as its going to get.
Heat powers? Same thing, put that fucker in a volcano. Good luck finding your way through 8,000 feet of lava. Or an incinerator, yeah, just try and melt that lock off. Oh whumpee? They have a fever and your emotions are haywire, hope you can get that water to them without it evaporating.
Superstrength? Fighting a cotton powered villain. What are they gonna do, punch their way through pillows?
It's so fun.
It's funny if its for mundane things too.
Yeah, of course superstrength can move your entire apartment belongs in one trip. What's that? You want help building a bookshelf from Wal-Mart. They've never seen a screwdriver in their life.
You want a coffee run? Okay, but you better fine with no coffee left in the cup afterward. Just because they can run faster than light, doesn't mean liquid stops obeying physics.
Want the lights a different color? Just ask. You want them to fix the wiring in your remote? Why would they know anything about that?
Fun. The possibilities of powers being absolutely useless in everyday life is just good soup to me.
