For example:

  • You can fly but you can never stop flying
  • You can turn invisible, but never be seen again

      If humanity finds out about that property of you, you might end up as some kind of human battery. If you can’t be cooled down under any circumstances, one could use your body to heat up infinite amounts of water/air with heat pumps and use you to heat entire cities. Super useful for the rest of humanity but not exactly the life I’d like to live. :D

        I don’t think it would be worth it, as the thermal conduction would be far too low to be useful

        However, it would be a useful ability in extreme environments, such as space or Antarctica or something like that. So your chances of becoming an astronaut would massively increase.

          We could also run some heat pipes through the body to improve conductivity, stretch the skin to increase the surface etc.

          If the person doesn’t need to be alive to stay at a comfortable temperature we could even grind the body into a powder of tiny heat emitting particles. Then add a very fast flowing liquid with a good conductivity and our super hero heating system is good to go.

          But enough psychopath talk now. I personally don’t want to turn anyone into a heating system, but I’m sure capitalism will find a way to exploit this special property. :D

      That is a really good one. Because you can’t stop it, but a comfortable temperature is always comfortable.
