8 Superpowers That Would Actually Suck

8. Invisibility

Pro tip: If someone says their ideal superpower would be invisibility, then they're probably at least a little bit of a creep. Anyway, whether you're using your powers of invisibility for good or ill, it would pretty much suck as you wouldn't be able to see a damn thing. Sneaking into the ladies' changing rooms would essentially be pointless as the power of invisibility is likely to render you completely blind.

Your eyes work by reflecting light on to your retinas at the back of your eyes, where it is picked up by the rods and cones, allowing you to see. However, presuming your eyeballs are as invisible as the rest of you, the light would pass straight through them without being picked up and you would be plunged into a life of darkness. If, somehow, you were able to pick up light on invisible retinas (focussed through invisible lenses, no less), it would still be pretty odd.

As your eyes bend and absorb light, your magical invisible eyes would probably appear to other people as two weirdly dark and distorted patches of thin air - which is about a creepy as wishing you were invisible.
