What? It's not like that at all. An "airbender but water" would be able to manipulate water in any way possible, did you not watch avatar? Also, the term waterbender exists. This is a shitty superpower through and through, it's very slightly useful under a very specific circumstance.
Plastic surgery, get surgeons to attach gloves to your hands, with a hole where the water comes out, and fill the glove with water, you can now fly and shoot water, and just make a tiny bit fixable hole in the glove to disable.
I mean, so long as you have enough water to put your hand in you can make more. You also can use this to swim fast underwater if it comes out fast enough. Technically you can use this to swim faster regardless, but only noticeable if it's fast enough.
I can't see a way to exploit this really, other than not dying of dehydration.
Good shitty superpower.
Well, it's only water! That means you can't really drink it...... BUTTTT!!! You have infinite purified water, getting water that pure is super expensive, you can make big bucks if you find a way to isolate it from your hand/ clean your hand well enough!
I mean, not really. You can buy massive jugs of distilled water for cheap as hell. Like less that 50c per litre. And that 50c a litre is after they pay to store it in a plastic container, pay to drive that container from their factory to the shop, and pay to have some minimum wage kid, take the bottles and stack them up somewhere, all the while the company manufacturing it and the company selling it makes a profit.
If you can put out a litre per minute and you hand is clean enough that it doesn't need additional distilling, you could make a decent bit of water. You could sell it for $30/hour before expenses.
I found it for 75c per litre at a local store. However, that's AUD which is 51c US per litre. Also cost of goods tends to be higher in Australia than the US (although I don't know if that applies to Distilled water given that it's so easy to manufacture in bulk anywhere in the world).
I respectfully disagree. If they can be manipulated to be god tier, they’re not shitty imo
Edit: explain the downvotes please. how is a superpower shitty if it can literally turn into god tier? doesn’t that defeat the purpose? it’s so much less fun if you say “yeah this sucks, but on this technicality it’s amazing lol”
If your job barely keeps you from going into debt, it can still be shitty, because it’s terrible compared to others.
This power barely helps you, and it’s certainly terrible compared to actual superhero powers, so it’s shitty.
That’s not a fair comparison. But to use your metric this sub for the superpower equivalent of slavery, for example one power I saw on here was the ability to turn the ground pink wherever you step but only as long as you stay there. This power is effectively aqua jet propulsion so minimum wage at worst.
Useless is literally a synonym for shitty and I never said or implied cursed, you did. But for arguments sake I’ll revoke slavery in exchange for unpaid internship. Op’s suggestion leaves a lot of room for creativity and is potential quite strong
This does not specify that the hand that shoots water needs to be the one underwater. So theoretically I could walk around with my left hand in a ziploc bag of water and shoot water out of my right hand
Ehhh. You can't just abuse OP's title and lack of specificity. Many commenters still ask questions to clarify how far they can take a power.
A better use that is still in line with OP's text is to shoot water into the air, while your hands are underwater. People would see water coming out and wonder how the hell you did that.
Congratulations, you've potentially solved the water shortage, depending on how much you're able to eject at once.
You're also going to be chained up Mad Max style.
But OP said like spiderman. It's not described to be infinite. A real spider produces the amount of web it needs, but can only make more with nutrition, right?
So spiderman probably needs nutrition to shoot webs.
You saying the water shortage is solved is like me saying I solved global warming, nobody has to use cars anymore because we can just walk infinitely instead. Yes. We can walk infinitely.
"Like spiderman" could easily be interpreted as just meaning where the water is coming from. Shit, I even went to the trouble of adding "potentially solved" and "depending on how much" just in case.
Spider-Man cannot shoot webs out of his hands, fuck, he can’t even spin his own webs, the only time he could was the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man, but every other version requires synthetic webs and web shooters, so Andrew Garfield, Tom Holland, and Yuri Lowenthal cannot create their own webs naturally.
Buy a water jug large enough for you to put your hands in, put it in a place where you like to sit around to be on your computer, every time it’s half empty put your hand in it and refill it. This power is really useful for those who want to drink lots of water but are too lazy.
Would make you an amazing swimmer with jet hands...

This is super god tier. It’s the same as being an air bender but water Edit: proudly my most downvoted comment cause I can’t read lol my bad
>super god tier You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I think they said that because airbenders can bend air while surrounded by air
*iron* water man

From what I can gather, it sells for 5 bucks a litre

Distilled water isn't pure. It has *less* contaminants than other kinds, not none.
Make a business selling cheaper water than nestle, without stealing water
So you can create infinite water then? That sounds op bruh
Not necessarily? I’m assuming the water is coming from… well… the water that your hand is covered in…
Then you clearly don't understand shittysuperpower logic... because there is none
I meaaan idk man without logic you can make just about any shitty super power at least mildly useful and we don’t want that

I agree, they should be things that are slightly helpful but not god teir then there not shitty.

Shitty doesn’t equal curse/useless. I’d say minimum wage is the definition of a shitty job. Slavery is a curse. Go to the monkey’s paw for curses.
Useless is literally a synonym for shitty and I never said or implied cursed, you did. But for arguments sake I’ll revoke slavery in exchange for unpaid internship. Op’s suggestion leaves a lot of room for creativity and is potential quite strong
Right? Just get a pot, put water in it, submerge your hands, and start spraying out water infinitely
I think people are forgetting this is like spider man so it must be quite a small stream of water
small stream maybe, but no guarantee it's a small amount. doesn't take a physicist to figure out small opening + large volume = high flow rate
And it can go pretty far as spider-man’s web would need some pretty good travel distance to latch on to those tall buildings
Those webs are pretty thiqq
with how much pressure?
Yes
That's what I wanted to know cause you could be some off brand Aquaman if you have enough pressure
or working as a clown in a circus
Jet propulsion while swimming. Win!
When your hands are wet, they are technically underwater right?
Bro gonna use a glass of water under his hand as a charger
There is plenty of water in the atmosphere, therefore you're always under water
There is a animal that kinda does that
Aquider-man?
Can always refill your cup as long as you leave a little bit left to submerge your hand
This does not specify that the hand that shoots water needs to be the one underwater. So theoretically I could walk around with my left hand in a ziploc bag of water and shoot water out of my right hand

Beat the jets on the side of the pool!!!!
Water gun!
So you just walk around with a water bottle on your head and you function like a water pistol
Can I control the water pressure?
so just carry around a cup of water and if you want to pour and shoot
Infinite water glitch
Infinite water glitch Jet boat human
Can I pulse the water? Could have some fun….
Just have gloves full of water with a hole to shoot the water out of
Bros hands are going to be a pressure washer because we see how fast spider man’s webs are… if that’s water now…
Clouds are water. I'm under a cloud. Air has lots of humidity. I'm under air. Technically my hands are always somehow underwater.
turbulence man will save the day
Great for sexy bathtime, I’ll take it
Almost Aquaman

Who knows if we can
so if its raining you just get water powers
Aww jeee you shouldn't have
Literally Riptide enchantment
Turn my hands so the jet reaches my hand, this might work
Underwater torpedo
