Assisting super Powers for Superheroes: Color Kid

Have you ever heard of DC’s Color Kid? He can change the color of anything, allowing him to:

·         Camouflage people

·         Change the color of the sky and ground to confuse opponents

·         Change the chemical nature of things such as kryptonite by changing their color.

Ok, so the ability to change colors isn't on the best superpowers list, and poor little Color Kid will probably never be on a best superpower movies list either, but he may have some potential in combat.

First I want to propose an interesting theory. Color Kid may be able to change regular colors to other colors that our eyes cannot even conceive, similar to a mantis shrimp. This may sound useless, but it may be possible for another superhero to create for him a gun-like gadget or even a space satellite that automatically shoots a massive laser beam guided towards ONLY the new color the moment Color Kid allows that color to exist. Change the color of the enemy and BOOM!

With more skill in changing chemical natures, he may be able to do things such as turn water into green corrosive acid or red hot lava. He may also be able to turn the rocks enemies stand on into quicksand.

Changing Colors may also be worthwhile powers for superheroes that enjoy the company of animals, as a herd of bulls are pretty stable until a bright red target appears.

Lastly, if color kid changes the color of an opponent’s eye to completely black or white, it may affect the target’s sight, possibly even blinding them.

Color Kid. Is he really useless, or did DC miss the potential?
