Why not change one of the 'harmless' or other lower rankings to 'Mostly Harmless' as a take from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?

I also think having a 'useful' category is good because some powers aren't neccesarily pointless, but aren't really for combat.

Just my two cence

you spelled Humor wrong

And why even name them? just put "near harmless" on one end and "Unreal" on the other and let them draw there on conclusions

The category names should be based on usefulness, rather than destructiveness.  

Or have different scales, one for destructiveness and one for usefulness.  For example a power that significantly increases your intelligence would not be destructive at all so it would be  a 1-2 on the destructive scale.  But this power is obviously a very strong power so to leave it at that would not be doing it justice.  On the usefulness scale, the power would have a much higher score, maybe a 7-8 for example.

[Zaleramancer]

Actually that power could be super distructive, Super intellegent person makes robot army to take over the world... there are very very very few super powers that cannot be used in a destructive way

Also i agree on the 2 diff scales

[4T1LL]

Well im sure we could find a way for every power on this site to be destructive in some way but how many people are going to take the time to think it through.  just a suggestion to make it easier.

I do think if your going to make the scale system the two different scales would be a must have

[Vespert]

I agree that a lot of powers can be considered dangerous. But, even though it's a possibility that some may realize, what are the odds someone will use their power that way? Not everyone is inclined to wish for world domination/destruction.

Also, I agree with having those two scales. Maybe a third one for originality? Probably not as important as usefulness and destructiveness. There are some abilities that - while not being particularly dangerous or useful - at least have the decency of not being a sub-power or derivation of the most common superpowers.

[KendallHero]

Wow! I was just about to suggest this. Great idea.

[Zaleramancer]

I scale for destructivness, one for usefulness, and one for popularity? <---- i had some idea for that one but i forgot..this might be it, maybe possibly

[Vespert]

There's already a "Most wanted superpowers" list.

[Zaleramancer]

Ok so that was not it...... i cant remeber

Well in order to rank something on how useful or destructive it its you have to imagine all of the possibilities that you could could use that power for.
Maybe there could be a section on the power that is a list of possible uses and abilities that everyone could edit not just the creator.  I know that when I have created powers I have ran out of room explaining or list the possible uses.  I think that would give people a better idea of what that power could do before ranking it.
