10 Reasons Having Certain Superpowers Would Actually Be Awful

7. Stabbing Yourself (Retractable Claws)

Wolverine's retractable claws would be a complete pain in the backside. There's nothing really positive that can be said about them. When you sleep, you do things involuntarily - you speak, you move, you kick out - so imagine extruding those claws in the night and finding you've got a face or a gut full of them. Painful. Not only that, but it would be excruciating every time they came out. Nothing about Wolverine - even his healing factor - suppresses his ability to feel pain, so every time he uses those claws they have to pierce his skin. Frankly, when you actually think about it, a knife is a much better option.
