I actually have a real life mild superpower.

I can always find the end of a roll of sticky tape. Even when other people have scuffed up the tape by trying to gouge a hole where they think the end should be.

You may bow and scrape now.

The alien craft, bristling with weapons of advanced technological destruction that hummed menacingly from all about it's perimeter, left no doubt in anyone's mind Earth was doomed. And most likely, the SomethingAwful forums, too. The craft hovered a moment as pads on extended metallic rods slid out of the bottom of it. A line framed in light formed, becoming a square that became a doorway that slowly bent down toward the 'Yob. The forum grew silent. After a brief moment that seemed eternal, a tentacled appendage slid out of the craft, almost like an octopus only instead of hooked suckers, there were glowing purple circles that pulsed along the tentacle.

Moderators FluffyDuckie and Alnilam cautioned everyone to stay back. After a moment, the two moderators conversed and came up with a plan. "hockey jockey, would you please come here?" Fluffie asked. hockey jockey did. FluffieDuckie pointed at the tentacle, said something to hockey jockey, and knew what must be done. The tentacle awaited. At the end of is was a strange cylinder of some kind, with a sort of translucent material surrounding it's circumference. Several gouges could clearly be seen. Forums poster hockey jockey gingerly plucked the cylinder from the tentacled appendage and after the briefest of moments, produced a ripping sound as a ribbon of material was ripped off the roll.

He placed the roll back onto the appendage, which slithered into the craft and disappeared. The legs retreated back into the craft, and it left behind a glowing golden box. Earth was saved! There was a note on the box. FluffyDuckie and alnilam read it, and after a moment, revealed the contents of the letter:


"People of Earth,

We bought this roll of packing tape from a Dollar General Store because on the box it said "easy to use". It wasn't. We couldn't get our money back! We were so angry... but you allowed us to load a packing tape gun, and we are happy! It is now easy to use, and we will not have to destroy your world.

Thank You!

I haven't but just looked it up. It looks about as silly as the Discworld novels, which I liked very much. Perhaps I'll check it out.

Also if Piers Anthony is reading this, pm me for some more magical ideas.

It is def. in the same vein as Pratchett's stuff. I probably would have read more Pratchett early on, but I started with the Young Adult section alphabetically. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Another submission to the thread topic: Can breathe fire, but only enough to like light a joint or a cig if they stick it down their throat a little bit.
