Need a lame power.

how about being able to see through another persons eyes, but only when your eyes are closed, and you wouldn't be able to control the other person. so your MC could use this power to see what another person is doing at the time and then be able to direct the others he is with to attack targets.

Me and a couple of my freinds also had a lame super power conversation, but it was more of a "well, if you were a super hero, your power would be the ability to go back in time for seventeen seconds." things of that nature. my favorite was the ability to move any object three inches. on the surface, fairly usless, you MIGHT be able to dodge a bullet, or you could make somebodies sword miss a block, but if you really get into it, you could move building foundations, the starter in a car, or just for the kill shot, move someones heart three inches to the left inside their body.
 
Like mortared bricks?

Yes.

Body parts?

No. Bodies count as single objects.

If someone had like an arm cut off and then stitched back, he could undo the stiches and make the arm fall off again. But he can't affect anything that is a single mass of matter. It has to be "an object stuck to another object."

Chemicals in solution?

Uncertain.

Molecular bonds?

Not really, no.

If he has any imagination at all, he's gonna gut your game… not to mention everyone in it. :p

Yeah, well, it's not like I'm actually going to allow that. I do impose rules about power gaming.

in one of the X-men movies there was someone who was taking notes by waving their hand over the page. I don't know if that was supposed to be part of something bigger or the entire power, but someone whose superpower is the ability to write without moving their fingers would seem pretty lame.

Not if you're a journalist. Trust me.

If you're still having problems deciding, you could try starting with plot and then once you get rolling, finalize what powers would work best for the story.
