    Corrections: Invincibility from E to B πŸ“ˆ Reason: Invincibility is a life insurance that actually saves your life. A rather boring passive ability that everyone would appreciate regardless of lifestyle. Also, when you work out, your muscles instantly recover, and you become stronger and fitter, giving lots of health benefits. BUT true invincibility would mean living through the heat death of the universe, which would make it F Tier. This power can be useful in the military IF you also have other abilities such as super strength, but by itself it is almost pointless, as the enemy can destroy your equipment, capture you, and leave you in a hole to rot, or torture/experiment on you. Shapeshifting from D to S πŸ“ˆ Reason: True Shapeshifting means being able to shape into any object, being, or fictional being AND have their abilities. E.g. Shapeshifting into Superman makes you invincible. Breathing Underwater from B to C πŸ“‰ Reason: I did not account for water pressure. Even with the ability to withstand the pressure, most of human tech (lights, cameras, etc.) does not work in the deep sea.

    "You can explore the mariana trench and discover new species of fish" The water pressure: πŸ’€
  • @localidiot2777
    Telekineses could be one of the most dangerous powers if it allowed for pulling apart atoms in large quantities.
  • The ability to speak, read and understand any language is still massively under appreciated. It’s infinitely useful and presents ZERO inconvenience to your everyday life.
  • @pedromartins1470
    Super regeneration would be good for working out. You could literally workout for hours without any problem and you would also see the results immediately. In my opinion it is a pretty underrated ability.
  • @koldonn1111
    Stop assuming we're gonna be good people lmao
  • @monkeyrhythm
    Bro just can’t think outside the box with these super powers
  • @Syuvinya
    The power: ends climate change and mitigates world hunger This guy: meh, C-tier.
  • @tetraxis3011
    No way bro said sΓΊper regeneration is bad. With this superpower If a thief shoots you, you can live without needing medical attention, you will recover from almost any car or plane crash. ETC.
  • @primesushi
    Shapeshifting is also at least A tier, if we're meaning the same thing. If you can get yourself more muscle and improve your looks or heal wounds by shapeshifting it would be pretty useful and funny.
  • @JoonaTokola
    Immortality is f tier because you will live through the heat death of the universe
  • @bluescreen7939
    The problem with water breathing is that it still doesn’t account for water pressure, water temperature, and darkness of the deepest parts of the ocean. While darkness could be resolved with some sort of waterproof flashlight, I still don’t see a way of countering water pressure and temperature without the use of expensive equipment such as a submarine.

    "Speaking to the dead is low tier." Prosecutors in murder cases:
  • @Krrimsonn
    Flight, super speed, super strength and some others can be dangerous if you don't have enhanced durability. For flight and speed, if you go too fast, you will suffer from g force or burn up due to air friction. For super strength, you can exert force, but can you withstand pressure?
  • @arbiterregnant
    Depending on the limits, shape-shifting could easily be S-tier. Turn into a falcon for flight, the Hulk for super-strength, the Flash for super-speed, or Superman for all of the above plus all of Superman's many powers. Get tired or even fatally injured? No problem, shape shift into something rested and healthy. The possibilities could be nearly endless.
  • @thegameprey3056
    The duality of me, I want crazy diamond as much as I want killer queen.
  • @Fossilsmudge
    If you looked at these powers from a 'good guy' modern society perspective i mostly agree, but if you had some of the more crazy powers people would use it to gain power etc. People with super strength arent just gonna carry stuff around construction sites lol. (underated video btw!!)
  • @Piflle
    Shapeshifting is an s tier because of porn and sex work, infinite money
  • @imagominus
    Truth is: any superpower can be a great one if you know how it works and/or how to use it creatively. Sure, controlling plants sounds lame on the surface, but if you are well versed with the kinds of plants that exist, along with their many uses, you'll have a wonderful tool in your hands at (almost) all times. Imagine cutting through unlikely materials with exceptionally sharp thorns, or acquiring most medicines and poisons. And don't even get me started on trees. Don't underestimate trees. Also, depending on how far you can take it, Shapeshifting can be either as useless as previously described, or among the most broken abilities along with telekinesis, even if not as much. Useless would be just changing appearances to other people and characters. Broken would be the ability to morph your body into all kinds of shapes and forms (beware the potential bodyhorror).
  • @CoralReefInArms
    honestly most of these abilities would be B tier if you can use them to make you money. Just make videos of yourself using your powers then you instantly have online fame which will make you money
