10 Movie Powers That Would't Be As Cool As You Think

5. Sticking To Everything - The Spider-Man Films

The Amazing Spider Man 600x300

Power: Sticking to all surfaces. Why it would suck: When you're talking about hanging from a tall skyscraper to avoid falling to your death, sticking to any surface becomes the greatest idea ever. Pick-pockets would also benefit from such a power (one wonders why Peter Parker, a NYC native, didn't just become the richest pick-pocket ever in the pick-pocket capital of the world). You would never lose your keys... or your phone... or your wallet if you could stick to any surface at any time. So why is this power on this list? Because no one ever bothers to explain how ole web-head turns it off. Because, of course, he has to turn it off. How does he even put the suit on without turning it off? Every part of it would stick to his hands as he put it on. It would be a nightmare. Never mind his hands, what about everything else? Forget putting the suit on, how does he get it off? I don't think it's an issue of picking and choosing when to use it and when not. I think it's involuntary. Otherwise, he wouldn't just automatically stick to walls during a fight. He would have to stop and think about it. So, great during a fight. Not so great out in the world. Think about every time you go to pick something up in a store to look at it. You just bought that item. Browsing would be completely eliminated. If you're getting hot and heavy with someone and, halfway through, they just aren't feeling it, that's a sexual harassment case at the least and a rape charge at the most. Your love life is over. Forget any food you have to eat with your hands also. Learn to love utensils. Hope you don't need to use a keyboard for anything either, unless you can figure out a way to communicate your ideas with different variations of asdf jkl;. Don't even think about going to the bathroom, by the way. Lionel Richie's "Stuck On You" comes to mind. So, if you find yourself fighting a giant lizard on the Empire State Building, give this a shot. If you find yourself in any other situation, sit this power out.
