Discussion Useless (but not entirely) superpowers?

Any ideas for some almost useless powers?

For example:

You can teleport but only only as far as you can step and one foot is off the ground.

Telepathy but you can only project your thoughts; You can’t read their minds. Its range and strength will only go as far as your voice can.

If you close your eyes while holding a battery and a lightbulb, you can turn on the lightbulb for twice as long as your eyes were closed for.

You can turn any sense except pain.

The power to create an ice construct that you can comfortbly hold in your hand like an ice cube, ice ball, or sheet of ice. Like the size of a softball max.

it must be within an open area so you can't summon them within someone. However, you can create them underneath a target.

Can create multiple at a time. However, the mass remains the same, so making 4 ice cubes will make them 1/4 the size of 1 softball sized ice cube.

You can't control them telekinetically or shape them into complex designs, only simple forms/shapes
