"Failure or refusal to relieve the symptoms often results in waves of spontaneous orgasms in women and ejaculation in men. The symptoms can be debilitating, preventing concentration on mundane tasks. Some situations, such as riding in an automobile or train, vibrations from mobile phones, and even going to the toilet can aggravate the syndrome unbearably causing the discomfort to verge on pain. It is not uncommon for sufferers to lose some or all sense of pleasure over the course of time as release becomes associated with relief from pain rather than the experience of pleasure. Some sufferers have said that they shun sexual relations, which they may find to be a painful experience. The condition may last for many years and can be so severe that it has been known to lead to depression and even suicide"

As for the thread, jeez they're all tough. Flash's is prob the worst. Imagine stretching a second into years, with constant spike pain.
Hal's is probably useless as well. GL's have been incapacitated by nausea many times - without concentration, willpower is nothing.
I'd probably pick Hulk, tbh. Or Superman's. Doom's is incapacitating. Lobo....if I am immortal, and the pain happens whenever my powers kick in, that means I am in pain FOREVER. No thanks.
Wouldn't having His's "stats" also mean you get his physiological control. Cause then you could just turn your pain and pleasure centers to what ever setting you want?
But like I said earlier. Lobo likes Pain, so that means you would to.
So ...

Jesus Christ. What's with you people and digging for loopholes?
Anyway, gaining Lobo's physical stats does not mean you gain his mentality/demeanor as well. And like I said in the OP: the 'cons' that come with these abilities CANNOT be diminished/lessened in any way/shape/form, for as long as you keep said ability active.
That is to say: unless you're a sadist irl(not judging), you would not enjoy the sensation of Bullet Ants biting your dick... But if you're willing to endure that pain to gain his stats, you are free to do so.

Yeah, Hal's cons would probably be among the easiest to cope with, but like others have mentioned: it'd be damn hard to concentrate whilst experiencing severe nausea. /shrug

Superman. Frankly with Supe's physical stats, explosive diarrhea just becomes one more weapon for the repertoire in my war against crime, like heat vision or super breath. I could probably take out a tank battalion with it or get an extra burst of flight speed in emergencies.
GL second. Wouldn't be pleasant but I could probably still get some things done with the ring. Even for the autoshields it would be worth it - feeling feverish and extremely nauseated for a minute is better than being hit by a car or shot by a mugger.
For Doom, you could pick it just for occasionally using the side effect and f*** using it for intelligence.
