Power Swap: a personalized comic book gift
What if they woke up with somebody else's powers? In this story your hero trades abilities with a superhero by accident, and it goes about as well as you would expect. Suddenly they can fly but cannot steer, lift a bus but not open a jar, while the actual superhero is stuck at their desk, losing a fight with a spreadsheet. Their face is on every page, mid-panic. It is especially fun if you add the person they would swap with: their partner, their twin, their deskmate.
