Well - if you want to call them super powers, here are some of what lice do

Super Clingability to a Host
As lice spend their whole life on the host they have developed adaptations which enable them to maintain a close contact with the host. These adaptations are reflected in their size (0.5–8 mm), stout legs, and claws which are adapted to cling tightly to hair, fur and feathers

Super Feeding on Host
Lice feed on skin (epidermal) debris, feather parts, sebaceous secretions and blood.

Super Disease Transmittal
They can transmit diseases, such as typhus, relapsing fever, and trench fever.

Super Itchiness
Most of the time having lice is more embarrassing and itchy.
