Suckiest Superpower Ever

 
I would rather be Tuxedo Mask than Starfish Girl any day.

I don't know, you might wanna reconsider. She actually has the ability to change or "morph" into any animal she touches, her favourites being an elephant or a grizzly bear.

Now, I'm not making this up, but the Animorphs was a book series about 5 kids & a blue-deer alien who used the ability to change/morph into animals to fight a secret, covert war with body-snatching parasite aliens, called Yeerks. I know it sounds silly, but when I was younger, it was one of the greatest book series I could get my hands on. Right up there, with Harry Potter & Goosebumps. It was also a neat way to learn a little bit about animals, as they "morphed" into animals like peregrine falcons, wolves, polar bears, ants, flies & cockroaches.

Also, they had some pretty cool aliens.

Like the Andalites: http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20061101072258/animorphs/images/f/f1/Andalites.jpg

I still say "Arm Fall Off Boy" got the shortest end of the stick during the superpower lottery.

I had no idea they could be any animal. So it's a good power but she is just a retard at using it. Who would ever CHOOSE starfish? That seems like a waste to sit around the fish tank in some dental office when you could be a cheetah running across the savannah.

Erik: Hah! That is a pretty silly ability. Still, he doesn't seem to be embarrassed about it. I imagine Nicholas Cage could play the role perfectly.

Kal: Well, that particular episode was really silly. The story starts with her at a beach. Her earring falls off and ends up under a rock. She notices a nearby starfish, changes into a starfish to reach the earring, ends up splitting her self in half, then both halves changes back into herself but with different "personalities". One ends up being overly aggressive, the other an airhead. Her team then tries to recombine the two of them. Like I said, pretty silly. Oh, and they do "morph" cheetahs at one point, but they enjoy flying as raptors the most. Also, dolphins.
