Superpowers in Modern Society Tier List 

Corrections: Invincibility from E to B 📈 Reason: Invincibility is a life insurance that actually saves your life. A rather boring passive ability that everyone would appreciate regardless of lifestyle. Also, when you work out, your muscles instantly recover, and you become stronger and fitter, giving lots of health benefits. BUT true invincibility would mean living through the heat death of the universe, which would make it F Tier. This power can be useful in the military IF you also have other abilities such as super strength, but by itself it is almost pointless, as the enemy can destroy your equipment, capture you, and leave you in a hole to rot, or torture/experiment on you. Shapeshifting from D to S 📈 Reason: True Shapeshifting means being able to shape into any object, being, or fictional being AND have their abilities. E.g. Shapeshifting into Superman makes you invincible. Breathing Underwater from B to C 📉 Reason: I did not account for water pressure. Even with the ability to withstand the pressure, most of human tech (lights, cameras, etc.) does not work in the deep sea.

"You can explore the mariana trench and discover new species of fish" The water pressure: 💀

Stop assuming we're gonna be good people lmao

Super regeneration would be good for working out. You could literally workout for hours without any problem and you would also see the results immediately. In my opinion it is a pretty underrated ability.

Immortality is f tier because you will live through the heat death of the universe

Telekineses could be one of the most dangerous powers if it allowed for pulling apart atoms in large quantities.

The ability to speak, read and understand any language is still massively under appreciated. It’s infinitely useful and presents ZERO inconvenience to your everyday life.

Bro just can’t think outside the box with these super powers

Shapeshifting is also at least A tier, if we're meaning the same thing. If you can get yourself more muscle and improve your looks or heal wounds by shapeshifting it would be pretty useful and funny.

No way bro said súper regeneration is bad. With this superpower If a thief shoots you, you can live without needing medical attention, you will recover from almost any car or plane crash. ETC.

The problem with water breathing is that it still doesn’t account for water pressure, water temperature, and darkness of the deepest parts of the ocean. While darkness could be resolved with some sort of waterproof flashlight, I still don’t see a way of countering water pressure and temperature without the use of expensive equipment such as a submarine.

The duality of me, I want crazy diamond as much as I want killer queen.

"Speaking to the dead is low tier." Prosecutors in murder cases:

Flight, super speed, super strength and some others can be dangerous if you don't have enhanced durability. For flight and speed, if you go too fast, you will suffer from g force or burn up due to air friction. For super strength, you can exert force, but can you withstand pressure?

Depending on the limits, shape-shifting could easily be S-tier. Turn into a falcon for flight, the Hulk for super-strength, the Flash for super-speed, or Superman for all of the above plus all of Superman's many powers. Get tired or even fatally injured? No problem, shape shift into something rested and healthy. The possibilities could be nearly endless.

The power: ends climate change and mitigates world hunger This guy: meh, C-tier.

If you looked at these powers from a 'good guy' modern society perspective i mostly agree, but if you had some of the more crazy powers people would use it to gain power etc. People with super strength arent just gonna carry stuff around construction sites lol. (underated video btw!!)

Shapeshifting is an s tier because of porn and sex work, infinite money

8:41 bro did dirty with that superpower 💀💀

The very first one, is being extremely underrated, cops and firefighters would make great use of it, athlets like american football would also be happy with said power and imagine being able of training without any rest.

honestly most of these abilities would be B tier if you can use them to make you money. Just make videos of yourself using your powers then you instantly have online fame which will make you money

Super strength and speed are kinda the same when you think about it. Speed is determined not by how fast your legs are, but by how powerful they are. And speed can create power. Ex. Bullets.

A lack of memory doesnt delete trauma.

I've always thought super-speed as the perfect super power for convenience, whenever I want to get somewhere, or back from somewhere, quickly; I am always burdened with walking for a while. It's a small thing but super speed would definitely make anybody's life much more enjoyable.

do you not understand how broken some of these things are???? its not just about the power its about how you use it. for example, if you can teleport, yes you can do the right things like transport companies, but you can also teleport colonies built on earth to other planets, or just send anyone you don't like to the sun. If you have phasing though objects, then every weapon every becomes no threat at all. bullets are objects, so they cant hit you. missiles and nuclear blasts produce explosions which you can phase though. you can do what the flash has done and phase your hand onto someone's heart and crush it from the inside. its not about the power, ITS ABOUT HOW YOU USE IT. plant manipulation is broken cause you can just make more. like just remake the amazon rainforest. de-deforest everywhere. make giant farms of vegetables. like i said, it nots the power, its about how you use it. if your creative with a power, you can make it SSS tier

Truth is: any superpower can be a great one if you know how it works and/or how to use it creatively. Sure, controlling plants sounds lame on the surface, but if you are well versed with the kinds of plants that exist, along with their many uses, you'll have a wonderful tool in your hands at (almost) all times. Imagine cutting through unlikely materials with exceptionally sharp thorns, or acquiring most medicines and poisons. And don't even get me started on trees. Don't underestimate trees. Also, depending on how far you can take it, Shapeshifting can be either as useless as previously described, or among the most broken abilities along with telekinesis, even if not as much. Useless would be just changing appearances to other people and characters. Broken would be the ability to morph your body into all kinds of shapes and forms (beware the potential bodyhorror).

9:42 nah that would b super useless because the pressure would pop you like a balloon down in the marina trench

9:35 But you'd also have to worry about the water pressure

Also your work is SEVERELY UNDERRATED. 33 views on something this long, entertaining and with editing? Can't believely lesser quality videos still get more views than this.

The only flaw in this(for me) is that Bro assumes we’re all God fearing, upstanding people. A lot of powers in the bottom tears are S or at least A tier to me. And no matter what anyone says, you just can’t go wrong with mind control(assuming it’s not 24/7)

11:22 Teleportation would instantly kill you. Instead, you would want to SWAP places with anything in space. If you teleported anywhere where there is air, you'd basically explode.

Immortality only deserves its place if you can still be killed but have eternal lifespan potential.

0:40 as someone who's been hit by cars and injured a ton in the past, if you dont consider that high tier your opinion is invalid. like genuinely the pickles it can get you out of is insane. youve obviously never been hurt much at all. lucky. most people give it a high rating because it IS, its not obsolete, probably in my opinion one of the best possible superpowers

Super regeneration is actually broken: you can instantly recover from workouts so you can get a body that would take 10 years in a couple months of training 24/7 you also don’t need to sleep or eat since your body repairs itself. Furthermore with this new insane body you can become the worlds best pro fighter never getting knocked out or injured. You could take 100 head blows from prime Mike Tyson and be perfectly fine to attack back and win. This will get you insanely rich.

Invincibility does not mean Immortality, you can not be harmed by conventional means but could die of old age, and could very well be used in Police, Firefighters and military carrier paths. Also shapeshifting means changing your appearance not actually becoming the thing, person or character, so you don't get Superman's powers just because you look like Superman. Edit: talking to the dead could also be used to figure out thing either forgotten by time or people that got killed just to keep a secret. Phasing could also very well be used in Police, Firefighters and military carrier paths because you can just phase through the bullets. Just because you can fly does not mean you can fly at super speed, other wise it would be Super Speed Flight, just flying could very well be the same speed you can run but now flying.

invisibility is a DAMN GOOD power. Entering and leaving places without leaving any traces is extremely underrated. IF you can make your clothes invisible. But we won't enter that.

Bro super regen means never getting sick, or getting cancer. Legit u could sell ur organs to get rich and just have them regenerate, or workout and get super ripped rly quick🤦‍♂️

Most of these are "bad" assuming you care about what other people think.

A couple things: How is super regeneration/ invincibility last on the list? There’s so much you could do with such an ability. Combat sports would be so easy cause you can shrug off any hits, allowing you to win big money. Also, monsters may not exist but humans do and are always trying to kill each other. You would be immune to this and can also protect others from senseless violence. Super strength should be higher as it also gives you super speed cause your leg strength is also increased exponentially. You can also win easy money in any sport you go into as you’ll be competing above everyone else. Immortality should be last on this list. Other people could easily exploit you by harvesting your organs or torturing you forever. Also, at some point your brain will cease functioning as you would’ve acquired too much information. Healing should be in the S-Tier as it gives you access to so many other abilities. Want super strength? Just train until you get fatigued and then heal your body to become stronger than it was before the training. This will also give you super speed in the process. You could even live for however long you want with the ability by constantly healing your aging cells.

That man really put telepathy super low when it would be one of the most op power ever to progress in life.

Also time freezing, easiest s-tier, you win any fight, you can do anything without losing any time, get tired in the middle of the day? Go home take a nap and and come back all while time is still frozen

terrible takes

Water breathing does not mean you can go super far underwater as the pressure would just crush you. Though it would be nice to swim for hours or show off as a party trick, going super far down would not be practical.

Image how insane super revenge and invincibility could be bro I would just compete different in combat sports and wouldnt have to worry about losing

Super regeneration is goated, I'd just befriend a doctor who would be willing to cut out my organs and sell them for a shared profit.

Invisibility is good for introverts and people with social anxiety

invincibility is an instant top 1 boxer

thank you for finally pointing out how overpowered telekinesis could be. its literally (almost) every power combined. Wanna fly? No issue. Wanna beat the hell out of someone? Easy. Wanna make a city dissapear? Split an atom.

Well, regenerative invincibility would be pretty useful for organ donations and/or just selling them depending on how it works

thank you for putting list os sources in description

If you think about it though; old age technically counts as a disease. So you'd pretty much get two abilities in one.

Healing should be E tier, you'd never know peace, every second you're not healing someone is a second someone has died because of you, even when you're healing someone there's someone dying because you chose someone else over them. It's like being the worlds best doctor times a million

Bro i would become a menace with 70% of this, there is so much potential in most of them. Great video.

"Jesus says we need to focus on climate change? Done." More like Jesus gets mirked by oil magnates

I would use my powers to do the dishes in an instant (You deserve more subs)

This video is so cool and out of pocket I thought Sciencephile the AI had uploaded.

What if your superpower is good for you job? A bodybuilder or solider would be happy with regeneration?

I think that super luck would also be an SSS tier. It would mean that life would play out in the best way possible. It's always shown as being boring due to winning everything but being bored isn't optimal so it would be unlucky. I don't see this effecting society much unless that's what the person wants. Also, with super luck you can also phase through walls due to quantum tunneling, which would mean you would be immune to all physical trauma due to luck giving you perfect "reaction speed."

Why did you have to pick the most boring version of Shapeshifting?

Bruh, I was just thinking about the possibilities of telekinesis yesterday.

1:56 movie name? Didnt see it Edit: it's moving, a korean film. Found with screenshot reverse image search

If you’re invincible means you can’t be harmed so, you wouldn’t ever be harm

Fire vid but how would you know what rearrangements make what matrial

You can't explore the depths of the oceans with just water breathing, the water pressure will literally crush you

You should do a ranking in ancient societies

I love how you didn't add the actually sss tier ones other than telekinesis.

"This ability's main use is being a very powerful villain, so its not that great to have" Me: y-yeah.... we wouldnt want thaaat...

At least we agree about telekenisis. Chronicle is such an OP super power movie. I wonder how far the last standing dude was able to push it

Physics : allow me to introduce me self

9:41 Yea.. no you can't. At the bottom of the Mariana Trench there is a pressure of 1090 atmospheres, so it would be like carrying around 1200 blue whales or 6 Boeing 747s on your shoulders. You have to train a lot!

In my oppinion, abilities like healing or duplicating are very risky to have. Since you would become really famous really fast(there is really no stopping) you would be used as a machine for the greater good of humanity. Even if you are not put in some isolated tank, where your hands are used for healing or duplicating, you would still be basically trapped in helping others out all your life. If you would refuse to stand all day and duplicate food or heal endless hordes of people you would be called a villain or heartless monster.

“You can explore the Mariana Trench” who would willingly do that

How is mind control not S-tier? You could do whatever you want.

invisiblity gets countered by infrared lmao

Just because you can breathe underwater doesn't mean u can survive the pressure of the deep sea. Not to mention that most of the deep sea probably isn't all that interesting other than the occasional super weird creature every once in a while

Wth is that "talk to animals" superpower icon😭😭

Immortality S tier if you're also immortal to brain damage.

The usefulness of shape-shifting changes a lot depending on how precise and customizable it is. Just mimicking other people isn’t terribly useful, but imagine how useful it would be to be able to turn into animals. You could fly to work as a falcon, or swim in the ocean as a fish. This is BEFORE we consider the idea that you don’t necessarily just need to mimic other creatures. Not only can you look however you want, whcih is a nice perk in our highly social world, but you could mix and match the traits of various animals to essentially just make up new biological powers. For instance: dolphins can rest one half of their brain at once, allowing them to remain alert while getting the benefits of sleep. There's a species of jellyfish called The Immortal Jellyfish, which can de-age itself and essentially live indefinitely. Not to mention the numerous benefits of just having complete control of your biomass - congratulations, you're basically immune to all forms of disease, and you can manually toggle your fertility. Look up an anime called Parasite The Maxim and a video game called Prototype to get an idea of how busted this power can actually be.

The superpower I want to have the most is the ability to pause/rewind time, it would be a great convenience tool to avoid making certain mistakes

The ability to change probabilities would be over S tier

Phasing is actually really useful for hiding and sneaking into places

Bringing back dead people could be used so efficiently in police department . Imagine you're in a case and this guy is like : "Yo i just talked to the victim and they said ____ was the killer" and the case closes.

The ability to create clones and once they disappear you gain their knowledge would be SSS tier or even higher, you could send any number of clones to learn or work, setting yourself up for the rest of your life. you could stop manual labour, you can even become the greatest scientist to ever life. Just imagine the snowballing, you create 1000 clones to learn as much as they can in a month, and once they disappear, you gain years upon years of knowledge, putting yourself in a league of your own. Then just create another 1000 and do the same and keep repeating. You could an army of infinite scientists smarter than any human to ever live, making leaps and bounds in technology, biology, physics, math and much more. there is an infinite amount of things you could do with your clones to progres humanity as a whole.

Invincibility/Super Regen: D Pick your poison. You either can't be hurt (can still feel pain), but can die of old age. Or you can be hurt, but can instant heal from it if the injury isn't fatal, though I think realistically, the regenning would shorten your lifespan from rapidly dividing your cells. I guess both can help you save on medical since you'll never need to go to the hospital, but unless you're in the army or have a lot of ops, this isn't that useful. Necromancy: D-C Assuming the bodies come back like zombies, they aren't that durable and are highly diseased. What exactly are you using them for in that case? If you can fully revive them with an intact body, then you've got something. Unfortunately, you're gonna draw some attention for the missing bodies and whatever you might be using them for. Nevermind the immorality of raising the dead to do your bidding that'll definitely get you flak for doing. Invisibility: C Creepy and criminal uses aside, you'd make an excellent spy for any company you work for. It's dangerous work, but you'll be raking in that dough. Shapeshifting: C-S Same as invisibility, but with more potential to cause chaos, especially depending on what your limits are. Make politicians or celebs say/do some insane stuff that get them in trouble or help them depending on how you feel. Turn into your favorite adult actresses and make personal "content" of them. Turn into your favorite fictional characters and make personal "content" of them. Heck, people brought up trans people and how they could use it to actually turn into the opposite sex. Heck, you could use this to give yourself your ideal body. There's so many possibilities. Disease Resistance: D-C Same benefit of "No Medical" as Invincibility/Super Regen, but with the potential drawback of the latter. Other than that, it's inferior to those, yet more practical. Because again, what kind of life are you living where you need to be undamageable or able to regrow body parts in an instant? The simplicity of this honestly makes it better. Communing w/Dead: C-A At worst, call up some dead friends and family, maybe try to make peace with them and whatever baggage you had between them. Maybe help others do the same as some kind of business. Could be good therapy. Maybe call up famous philosophers or something and get some kind of enlightenment from them. At best, you become Spirit Medium and summon deceased victims of crimes to give their sides of what happened to them, possibly making it easier to catch criminals. Just pray you don't get DL-6'd. Phasing: D Cool I guess. Don't know what exactly you're using it for. It's not useless, but what common scenarios are you getting into where it'd be REALLY useful to just be able to phase through matter? You tryna fall through the Earth's core all the way to China? Telepathy: C I'll take the monkey chatter. I ain't getting machines screwed into me. This is much more convenient. Kind eliminates the need for a phone when you can just beam whatever you want to tell them directly into their heads. Memory Erasure: F-D I guess erasing a traumatic event could be helpful (provided it isn't stuck in their subconscious, causing them to slowly and painfully remember it), but like you said, people grow from their life experiences. Without the pain and trauma, we can't grow and change for the better. Super Strength: S Easy S. It's so simple and so useable throughout everyday life. I really don't need to explain this. Cold/Heat Resistance: B You don't need to waste money of clothing built for cold/hot weather, don't need to waste money on AC/Radiators if you live alone, you can mow your lawn in spring and summer without sweating profusely, you could explore certain areas of the world better if you wanted to, etc. Just a convenient thing to have. Night/Xray Vision: D-C I guess the former can be good if you do work outside at night, and I guess the latter could be useful as a doctor or some kinda treasure hunter (or a perv), but otherwise not that useful. Plant Control: B-A Ignoring the "things" you could do with vines and the obvious crop harvesting, this basically gives you ultimate potential as a biochemist, making medicines and poisons and anything plant-based you can think of. Mind Control: F-C VERY useful, but highly morally questionable. If it's already illegal to use torture methods to force confessions, what makes you think Mind Control would be fine? The Phantom Thieves in Persona 5 had to deal with these accusations, and they technically don't mind control people. It's not really something you can use without its use causing problems. At best, you can immobilize a criminal so they can be arrested, but anything beyond that is borderline supervillain behavior. Enhanced Reflexes/Marksmanship: D What are you doing in your day-to-day life that'd warrant wanting enhanced reflexes and marksmanship? Not even Ultra Instinct "I don't need to think to do things". I'm talking just improved reaction timing and aiming? Weather Control: C-A You're basically a god at that point. Shame that such power would come with people demanding you use it for them and blaming you for weather related disasters you didn't cause or weren't able to stop. Nevermind the military probably being after you for such power, which, even if you can fight them off with your weather powers, is still a drag. Maybe these issues aren't present if you had Weather Report type powers when you could do things on a local level. Like make a rain cloud in your house over some plants. Or make your own electricity with storm clouds. Or sunbathe no matter the weather by shining sunlight directly over yourself. But being forced to restrict yourself to such minimal use of your abilities sucks too. Animal Communication: F-D Animals don't have Human Level Intelligence, so even if you could talk to them, you aren't going to be having the most enlightening conversations. At best, you can properly communicate with a pet... which doesn't matter if you don't have pets. Nevermind how big a nuisance the birds in the morning or the crickets at night become. Superspeed: D-A Depends on how it works. If your reflexes are always set to superspeed, then time runs REALLY slow for you. If you don't get the reflexes to match the speed, then you can't react to things at high speed at risk severe injury. If this is PERFECTLY optimized so that you aren't living your life in slow-mo, but can utilize your speed properly, then you've practically eliminated the need for vehicles and can get places extremely fast, allowing you to get more sleep since you don't need to pre-prep things. Underwater Breathing: D-C Nab yourself a Guinness World Record. Now what? What are you using this for outside of being a lifeguard that doesn't have to worry about drowning themselves to save other people drowning? Super Senses: F-D Don't even need to go into this. Just look at Daredevil and see how well being able to hear things louder than normal is. Flight: C-A Maybe not the better version of Superspeed, but all your Flight is going to be from Point A to B. No running around stuff, and less effort involved. You maybe not being going Flash speeds, but you'll certainly be going faster than any normal human walking. Teleportation: B-S Literally flight but better. Flight and Speed don't give you the power to carry a crapton of things with you effortlessly. Teleportation does. Healing: F-C Congrats, you're a super doctor and god figure, who people will turn on when/if you fail them ONCE. And if you're just using this on yourself, then it's just worse Super Regen. Immortality/Eternal Life: F-A Either you go insane from watching those around you die and end up laying with your great descendants, or you become a nihilist who survives past the end of the world. Duplication: F-S Cloning products crashes the job market since there's no point in production jobs. Cloning food and products you own is cool, but using this on a grand scale is a problem waiting to happen. Hyper Intelligence: F-D High Intelligence doesn't matter if you don't have the will to use it for anything useful. Being a 300IQ Egghead doesn't suddenly make you a space colonizer in a few minutes. And I doubt the average person wants the responsibility of running the world. Time Travel: F-A If you didn't have to worry about creating parallel universes or changing the present, this would be great. Actually being able to change time runs the easy risk of ruining the world. This is why Dead Communion is better than actual Necromancy. Telekinesis: S EVEN if you were only limited to moving this that you'd actually be able to move physically, this still means you can move everything objects with your mind. Heck, who's saying you can double up and lift something with both your mind and body? If you can lift more than your weight, you can effectively fly. If your telekinesis can be increased just like your physical strength, then you can start moving heavier things. You're already kind of a god with a restricted telekinesis. Now imagine it without these restrictions? EZ S tier.

Give me that heat and cold resistance because cutting yards in the heat at 99 degrees sucks! Also the water things is good but you wouldn’t be able to go everywhere because pressure still applies and unless you want to become a pancake then I suggest don’t go swimming that far down with this power.

for me personally, I'd split the superpowers into 3 catagories. Doesn't break laws of reality, sorta breaks laws of reality (this one is gray zone for powers that depend on how they are implemented; vague powers), and breaks laws of reality (most powers are in there). Anything that adds matter, adds energy (kinetic, potential, chemical, etc) all make the universe and its functions go from finite to infinite where you can extract literally infinite amounts of energy, powering civilizations for eons to come with something even as simple as being able to turn a rock into gold.

I feel that super strength will always be S tier as long as you can control it, everything is easier with it and because you’re super strong, it means you can run faster because of it and you have better defenses because your body is literally strong

Why u put invisibly in E when you can literally do a random girl while u invis its post to be in S rank

I want to compete and fight, super regereation/being invncible would be pretty good

8:30 where is this clip from?

People here in the comments forget that the tierlist is based on how it would impact the rest of people.

I wish to gas up super speed even more with the implication that time generally moves a lot slower around you. Think how much work you can do in 5 minutes when you're living through it by hours on end wothout tge drawbacks of aging too quickly or any of that nonsense. Think how extremely easy Janitor jobs would be and how funny people would react when the squeaky clean floors won't dirty... Well, at all!

Pretty much everything is rong, but I get the idea, its very nice Anyways, you video was well done, and you explained very well your oppinion, nice video :) Ps: Ive just loved the icons that youve chosen

With memory eraser you could rewatch anything as if it was your first time

Worlds Within: And this is why some of these abilities are useless Militaries around the World: And that's were you are wrong kiddo

Immortality is the lowest of the low. Imagine feeling the pain of the sun exploding on you then endlessly surfing throughout the universes. And breathing under water isnt as good as he say since water pressure would still kill you.

If you are invinsible doesn't it mean everything is free for you??

The power to control the chance of everything literally makes you god

10:42 there’s still speed restrictions as you can’t fly high enough to not disturb residences since you can’t breath

I'm glad you changed shapeshiftting to S because you can turn into literally anything. Including fiction like you said. So yeah, let me be kratos.
