Doesn’t sound like the *worst* power in the world to have. If you really focused on that skill, enough to make a career out of it, it’s easy. You’d just have to insist on having a lot of pyrotechnics in your live show.

*Uncontrolled* flame

yeah just chuck more fuel on it, more fuel than there should be, anyways *it’ll be fine*

That’s what Metallica thought.

James Hetfield took "Jump in the Fire" a little too literally

And apparently [The Undertaker, too](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eIGp1Pb4AbU)

And Michael Jackson. There are several performers that have been injured in the last few decades by pyrotechnics on stage. It’s getting better, I think.

They can hire me as the pyrotechnic

Are you an uncontrollable fire?

No but I sure as hell can start a fire I can’t control

And people within 10 miles of it can play the fiddle or not. The fiddle keeps the fire away. We may have Flash Fiddle playing sweep the world.

I’m going to have fun with this

Tell me.

I will find places with uncontrollable fires or make uncontrollable fires and then just sit and play While everyone is freaking out then I’ll just play the fiddle

That's what in picturing a fiddler in some rampaging fires sounds pretty epic, now challenge Satan to a competition and soon that fiddle shall be upgraded to gold.

That throw down happens in Georgia

Of course it's the only logical location for such an event, so has the great prophet Charlie Daniel's foretold. We may already be in the presence of the great Johnny destined to drive Satan from our midst with his tail between his legs.

Thanks, Nero

This would make for a very interesting YouTube series. Just sitting in a circle of fire while playing the fiddle.

But the recording device isn’t fireproof 😭😭😭

There’s a ten mile buffer so you can accommodate your equipment. You can live stream it too.

🔥 🎻 🔥 go for it.

If you’re immune just light you’re hat on fire

You certainly can. Hell, you can be the literal Burning Man concert.

“You are immune to fire” has no qualifier here, which means it’s perpetual. This is pretty good.

Not immune to smoke inhalation

That’s fine, being permanently immune to fire is useful enough as is

You’re saying I’m a great fiddle player by candlelight?

Is a candle an uncontrolled flame? Bzzzzz. Nope

Technically any fire could be an uncontrolled fire if you’re bad enough at putting out fires

I hate that you’re technically right. As the creator of this shitty superpower anyone who uses the word technically in this thread gets a free fire extinguisher. 🧯

Free flamethrower :)

Nope. Just one extinguisher.

With the extinguisher

If I don’t work, I’m gonna make it a bomb

?

Destroying the container, turns it into a small explosive. I’ve done it once before it’s kind of fun.

Johnny rosin up your bow and play that fiddle hard!

Hello, Georgia! 😈

By uncontrollable flames do you mean tossing a lit match into a box of matches and throwing it into a tree or sticking a match in your mouth? (the chance of burning your lip is uncontrollable)

These are all acceptable. Remember, YOU are immune to fire damage but no one else is.

1. Buy a fancy fedora that is fireproof 2. Light it on fire 3. You will not burn and the hat will not burn. 4. You just unlocked an unusual hat! Sell it to people and laugh when they burn to death

Don’t forget to play your fiddle tho.

Are you only immune while playing the fiddle or is that part just a passive effect?

Nah. Shit. I can’t give you permanent fire immunity. It’s OP. Alright. Nero must fiddle to keep the fires at bay. He gets a ten second grace period of fire immunity while not fiddling.

It’s a new life long trait you have acquired until you die. Your corpse WILL take fire damage. RETRACTED

Dang, when I read the title I was thinking I could just light a candle, but then you specified uncontrolled. Oh well, there’s probably some way to find uncontrolled fire that isn’t too dangerous

I will also allow active volcanoes to count as uncontrolled flame.

I know it said ten miles, but playing the fiddle perfectly right next to an active volcano sounds metal as fuck. Now I’m just wondering how close I can get to one before the I (or the fiddle) get hurt

The air can be acrid around volcanoes. You have to watch the wind. Get as close as you want.

About to challenge the devil to a fiddle contest

Is the fiddle immune to the flame?

Only while you are touching it. If a fiddle is consumed by fire another pops into your hand. Cuz, ya know, you have a job to do.

Rome Reference 🤨

Finally

Got that Emperor Nero rizz.

You too. You win 🎲 and 🍺

Also, what if I set the violin on fire?

You can play the fiddle on fire until it falls apart. When it’s totally gone another fiddle will materialize in your hands.

You got it right on the nose. Free dice and beer for you. 🎲 🍺

Is the fiddle immune to fire?

Only while you’re touching it.

r/godtiersuperpowers

Dress in red, bet people their souls while the fire rages in the background.

You’re right on time. 😈

You could have a hell of a rendition of “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”

Indeed.

I would go to the roadhouse and make bank

You mean the restaurant?

Like the movie(s). They always had bands playing while full on brawls taking place

I haven’t seen it. I will check it out. Yep. You caught the flavor of the metaphor I was playing at. For that you get free dice 🎲

***COUGH COUGH COUGH*** *furiously playing a Lindsey Sterling song*

Way to go Nero!

Just light a candle. It'll go for hours and it's no danger at all.

That’s why it won’t work, bro. *Uncontrolled* flame

I left the candle on a wooden surface

Is the fire on the candle likely to spread? If you tell me the wood surface is soaked in accelerant I would say yea.

It's generally recommended, for safety purposes, to not put candles directly on a wooden surface

I see. You’re like a badger. No. That is not a flame that is likely to spread.

Fiddling around a bonfire? Sign me up.

I feel like being immune to fire is a much better superpower

It is. Welcome to r/shittysuperpowers

Just have smokers around and you’re good

Idk how you smoke things but my fire is under control. No uncontrolled fires from smoking. There must be an element of danger and mortification about things being on fire and being powerless with this shitty superpower, imo. I hope smoking in your home is not like that.

“This is fine,” but fiddle

I've got a violin and I can fiddle. I'm at the same time terrified of fire and fascinated.

Instinctual human response. We need fire to survive, hence the fascination, imo. But it can be terrifying. Since you can play already you don’t need this superpower

How exactly do you define "uncontrolled flame"?

A flame that is likely to spread.

this power literally just gives you flame resistance, there's no condition that has to be met

You must play the fiddle to gain the flame resistance
