Down with the Delete This powers!

Vespert
This post was updated on .
The Game: Oh no! Someone with a dumb/joke/useless power is wreaking havoc! (... somehow... Please just suspend your disbelief ) The superheroes with awesome powers are on a totally different level with this guy/gal and just won't take the case to preserve their reputation. The anonymous with really stupid powers are the only ones left to save the day! But, what kind of laughable/boring powers do they have? How are they going to beat this guy?

Suggest a stupid/useless power that can beat them!


The Rules:
- A power to beat is chosen among the least popular of the joke powers on the List.
- Anyone can suggest new stupid powers that can beat them.
- The suggestions are rated.
- The winning power will replace any of the "Delete this"-powers. So, keep in mind that there's a big chance that the power YOU created will not appear on YOUR profile page.

How to suggest a power?
1- Post as many suggestions of powers as you want that can be used to effectively counter it. An overview will do, plus a brief explanation on how it is strong against the selected power.
2- The powers must already be stupid/useless on their own.
3- The powers must give any of their users a chance to beat the bad guy in a logical/creative way. Please don't go the easy way and create a negation power...
4- The powers must still follow the same guideline as regular powers.

How to vote? 1- Just give a mark out of ten on how effective you consider each power to be against the enemy and how well they fit the rules.
2- You can change your previous votes as long as you state it so they are taken into account.
3- The votes will go on until we decide it's time to end the current contest.
4- The power with the best mean score will be the winner and will replace one of the "Delete this"-powers. Its creator will still be credited somewhere in the description or the tags.

So, here's the first power to defeat! To avoid Over Quota errors, the full description it posted here (along with the typos).

Flower Walk
The ability to create flowers or plants wherever you walk.
With every step you take flowers or plants grow in your footsteps. You can control which plant or flower grows if you concentrate but if you don't concentrate the flower will just depend on you mood or thoughts.
The good:
You hungry? Just concentrate on a fruit or vegetable and walk.
Plants and flowers grow instantly.
The plants and flowers survive and grow in any weather or condition.
The bad:
Can't make up plants; they have to be real.
Looks kind of strange when flowers grow out of the sidewalk.

MythPower: Persephone's Poise, MythPower: Graces' Greetings and basically any other agrokinetic MythPower...

Manipulate the flower-bearing plants, and kill them with their own power.

That's supposed to be useless? I'm running along the sidewalk, sprouting up redwoods, briar patches, and those trees from Australia that are basically land jellyfish.
Hey son, wanna' learn how ta' make witch balls?

Yeah, the powers you're up against in this thread are not necessarily useless, but Flower Walk is among the least wanted powers on the List.

Well, seeing how successful this is. Shall we just replace the Delete-This powers with random useless ones as originally suggested?
