Useful for recon, getting places quickly, or stealthy attacks.

The power to make plants grow, but only in fertile soil, only within your line-of-sight, and they grow at the speed of normal plants.

You need fertile soil, sure... but you don't need to provide water or sunlight. Fertile soil you can produce by composting existing plant matter. Having convinced various terrorists to unleash nuclear apocalypse, you retire to a bunker deep under the earth, perhaps with a few friends or family members, sealing yourself forever from the surface world. The land burns, and you laugh in the deeps.

You can tie or untie any pair of shoes you are wearing with your mind.

You soon find that you are capable of finer control over your shoelaces - you just tied and untied because it was something you already knew, it was automatic. Soon, you acquire the world's longest shoelaces, and lash out with your AGLETS OF POWER and LACES OF (in?)JUSTICE to take down your foes wherever you step.

The power to render any power truly harmless, yet still useful.

Quite useful for taking down villains. And if they turn good, their power is still useful.

They laughed when they saw how your secret base was made of Styrofoam. Then they started disappearing one by one, dragged into the walls like a horror movie.

The ability to "Mime" for real, as long as you don't talk. This means fake lasso/rope, walls, the works, all invisible.

Suffocate the people you trapped in invisible boxes, strangle them with invisible ropes, shoot them with invisible guns, all these things and more are possible with that power.

The ability to read books backwards and still be able to understand it.

You can read books backwards through time. Destroy books, while still being able to read the ashes. Good for secret messages.

The power to turn into a cheese wheel for five minutes. You have no control of yourself during this time.

Cheese doesn't need to breathe or eat, so you could use this to hide underwater or in a refrigerator for any amount of time provided that time is an interval of 5 minutes by reactivating the ability whenever you turn back. If it can be reactivated instantly (without having to turn back at all) you could mail yourself to a desired location in a box.

Your sense of smell is displaced in time. You can smell things will be in your current location 1 hour into the future.

Perfect for security alarms! Rig booby traps all over your evil lair to release a terrible smell in your presence when activated-- you'll smell those pesky heroic types trying to sneak past you an hour beforehand!

Then there's the prank and distraction potential-- release terrible (or perhaps even dangerous) smells into a packed room as needed, confident in the knowledge that you've got a full hour to leave the area!

----------------------------------
They say some animals can smell fear. You can smell... mild distaste. Yeah. When somebody is feeling mildly distasteful about something, you can smell it.

Place distasteful imagery on the outside door of your office/lair. Whenever someone not used to it is about to enter, you can smell them.
You can also blast distasteful music while on a rescue mission and smell where the survivors are.

The ability to make yourself hallucinate, but you have no control over the hallucinations.

Could be useful if you are being tortured.

Animals have an instinctive urge to attack you.  You cannot disable this.

Get mauled by Karen's vicious chihuahua. Watch with glee as they put that demon down, then sue for your hospital bills. Win, profit, repeat.

The power to do actions in reverse. See: El Reverso, of the Cyanide and Happiness Show.

Since you can die in reverse you are immortal. Probably more applications, but that is the main one.

The power to eat nails (the carpentry kind.) with no ill effect.
