10 Reasons Having Certain Superpowers Would Actually Be Awful

8. Knowing Everything Bad That Will Happen To You (Omniscience/Precognition)

Precognition is the ability to see the future and omniscience is the ability to know everything that has happened, is happening and will happen - and that could be very useful. You could put bets on sports and win them all, making yourself extremely rich, or you could tell that guy you hate that he caught herpes off that transvestite he forgot about on a drunken night in Thailand, but you'd also know everything bad that was going to happen to you and your loved ones. Without the ability to change them - such as if a terminal disease was imminent - this could leave you permanently depressed before anything bad had actually happened, simply because you knew they were going to happen and there was nothing you could do about it.
