Disability Superpower/Playing With

Basic Trope: Someone has a disability and a superpower that counters the effect of the dissability
 * Straight: Bob is blind but has a bat-like sonar
 * Exaggerated:
 * Bob is blind, paraplegic, mute, but has the superpowers of Telekinesis, Telepathy and ESP, making up for them.
 * Everyone that is disabled has a superpower that counters the disability.
 * Justified:
 * Bob has a sonar and is blind as a bat, because of a genetic experiment that gave him both traits
 * Bob lives in a world where anyone can train psychic powers, naturally blind people will train to have "see with the mind" power due to sheer necessity.
 * Inverted:
 * Bob has a superpower that counters several disabilities, except blindness his only disability.
 * Bob has a superpower which enhances something he's talented at.
 * Subverted: While the sonar allows Bob to "see" in the dark, there is a book with important information that he needs to read, if he only could "hear" colors.
 * Double Subverted: ...luckly, Bob has a cellphone with a camera and a friend that helps him anytime.
 * Parodied: Bob thinks he has a sonar, but he is just a average blind person with a trained hear, while he tries to stop evil he often trips or runs head first in obstacles.
 * Deconstructed:
 * Even with his superpower, Bob has a much harder time than the average folk.
 * Alternative: Bob is told that he isn't a example to blind/disabled people, because he isn't truly disabled.
 * Reconstructed: ...while still is more difficult, Bob still tries and succedes in saving the day.
 * Zig Zagged: Bob's sonar is helpful for general purpose tasks, but is useless during high action fights, driving, swimming and the like.
 * Averted:
 * Bob is blind, and doesn't have compensating superpowers.
 * Bob has 20/20 vision and a radar sense.
 * Enforced: "We need a disable person, you know for the demographics, but this is a action show, he can't be useless" "I know! Lets make him blind and give him a bat sonar!"
 * Lampshaded: "So... you are blind person who can see? That's convenient..."
 * Invoked: "Can't you just pull some Daredevil crap and help us out here?"
 * Defied: "No, I do not have super-sonar. I just have the fireball-shooting powers."
 * Discussed: "So, with the sonar, does this mean you still collect disability benefits?"
 * Conversed: "Hey, Bob? What do you think about his sonar power directly compensating for him being blind?"
