Subject's name: Roland Burroughs
Subject's powers: Has talons tipped with poison and a spiked tail
Why this power seems good: You'd be deadly as shit! Somebody tries to shake your hand, boom, poison talon! Some fool tries to sneak up behind you, wham, tail spikes to the face! Captain America throws a shield at you, um...dodge and still have a spiked tail and poison talons!
Why it might actually suck: Consider, if you will, how shitty your commute to crime-work is gonna be every day if you have a spiked tail. Man, you're going to have to get your car reupholstered, like, every week!
And then, the talons. What if you wanted to drink a canned soda? Setting aside the difficulty of getting the thing open, your sharp talons would almost certainly punch through the can and then you're stuck with all kindsa poison all up in your Mello Yello!
That ain't no way to live.
Comments
How would you dress? I mean, assuming you're immune to your own poison and can't slice yourself open by having scratching an itch, how would you put clothes on? You'd straight up shred that fashionable pink leotard and belt combo. Would someone have to dress you, and then, would you have a small army of people ready to replace them when they eventually brushed against your sharp and poisoned body?
Shit. No wonder this sucker turned to evil. You'd be pissed off practically all day.
Wiping your arse after toileting too.... ergh....

I knew a Death Adder once.
He was an accountant.

See his costume? That explains how he gets dressed. It's 68% duct tape.
The one substance immune to destruction.
