X-Men Cypher. The power to instinctively know/understand all languages.
This is the best, most OP, power set that is nonviolent in nature.
You’re never gonna take over the world and rule with an iron fist, but using a liberal definition of “languages”, there’s not much you couldn’t do. And it would fly under the radar too. No one would be gunning for you like they would be gunning for Superman or any other high level power set.
Sit back, rule the poker world, be a software mogul, sleep with beautiful people, etc. You may not rule the world, but you could live a life of idle luxury without much effort.
I don’t understand how instinctive knowledge of a language automatically makes you a master at skills which use that language.
I know C++ but I’m not a master at embedded systems.
Just because I can speak with a beautiful woman doesn’t mean I can successfully flirt with her.
I mean, Body language is a bit of a stretch too. I wonder if that was canon.
You're being very liberal with how you interpret "language" here.
