Chubbies Slightly Above Average Superpower Smackdown

There's an age-old debate that's been ragin' on for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. It's severed friendships, caused hours of constipation, and probably spawned the creation of Magic the Gathering. Legend has it that the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Second Continental Congress was delayed by months because of it. What's this humanity-threatening deliberation that has caused so much strife, you ask? In a word, superpowers. Namely, the question - "If you could have only one, what would it be?"

Flight. Laser Beam Eyes. Invisibility. Our theory is that it's arguments over these classic examples of superheroism that put our economy in the dumps. How do you get sh*t done when you've got to spend 12 hours a day explaining the tensile strength benefits of Spiderman's web to everyone? We discovered that the fundamental flaw in all of these debates is that there aren't any drawbacks with these superpowers. I mean, hell, why not just have the "superpower" to do anything at any time you want? That's just silly.

So we went ahead and created our own set of Chubilities and put them in a winnner-take-all bracket that you, Chubster Nation, will control. 16 will enter, only 1 will emerge.

What's a Chubility? It's a bodacious ability that's pretty sweet, BUT has a downside that really makes you do the ol' pro-con analysis prior to voting. Let's just get to the damn thing already. Welcome to the Superpower Smackdown.

Round One Matchup Analysis
