What's a great way of coming up with really weird powers for big villains, with really esoteric uses?
Anyone got any stories of villains with really weird powers?
Stuff that you can use to asspull some ridiculous changes in the situation of the encounter.

You posted the best.
Beyond jojo stand styled stuff just take a power, make it ambiguous, and then apply ot everywhere
"I switch the traits of two things I touch" can be anything from "If I touch this cat and this camera, the cat starts recording, to "If I touch this dude and this rock, there's now a corpse here and the rock now has dreams of becoming a guitarist for the Rolling Stones,

I can just start listing some of the powers from our Jojo campaign:
>has the power to reopen long-healed wounds, along with giving the victim a flashback of when they initially got the wound
>can literally hit someone into next week
>can teleport any liquid he drinks into the mouth of anyone within 30 feet
>can weaponize any object the user touches, the resultant weapon is always vaguely shaped like the original object
>can turn any object into a phone, complete with annoying ringtone
>alters the thermal conductivity of whatever it touches
>opens a door, the next person who walks through it is either slammed to the ground or thinks that they're a dinosaur
>can combine objects based on what the objects' names were

There are a ton of legitimate criticisms that Jojo deserves but the art is top-tier, even if you don't like the style.

>Soft and Wet
The name of that stand will never not make us laugh

That was from Medaka Box

Man, and I thought I was being original.
On the bright side, i now have a new anime to watch. Thanks Anon.

The anime stops before it get good (or very shortly after it gets good). I'd recommend the manga if you aren't committed to watching anime.

For the Jojo game I run, I make a lot of them listening to music on my way to work. Weird music lyrics are fucking fantastic for designing absurdist powers.

As an example, the stand encounter for Sleigh Bells was literally me listening to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0_BlUbGBSo and thinking "huh, that sounds like air raid sirens. What if it made bombs. But what if they were BELL bombs?"

Also steal shit from books and anime constantly. China Mieville's Possible Sword is a fucking terrifying ability for a villain, and I can't wait until it happens.
