On the face of it, seeing the future is a pretty good power. Ok, so it's not as visually impressive as laser vision, or as useful in a fight as enhanced strength. But knowing what your enemy is planning, sometimes before they do, offers a distinct tactical advantage. Combined with adequate self-defence training and you should be able to hold your own in most scenarios. And if nothing else, you can always use it to play the lottery.

Kahina the Seer was a short-lived character introduced in the pages of Aquaman. As her name suggests, Kahina had the ability to see the future. While this no doubt had all sorts of useful applications, it somehow didn't extend to her seeing, or being able to prevent, her own death. Which kind of defeats the point, really.

With a (nearly) useless degree in English literature and a personal trainer qualification he's never used, Freddie spends his times writing things that he hopes will somehow pay the rent. He's also a former professional singer, and plays the saxophone and ukulele. He's not really used to talking about himself in the third person, and would like to stop now, thanks.
