The "weakness" might come in the form of the fuel for the super power, a humiliating Transformation Sequence or activation phrase, an Embarrassing but Empowering Outfit, or just a set of restrictions on the powers that really are begging to get laughed at. The weakness isn't a common household cleaning agent like Mundane Solution, but something so incredibly, stupidly embarrassing you'd think the Super Hero would never use his power out of shame in the off chance someone found out about it, or because it shows up regularly in the course of their super heroing. It's great for comedic effect, but just as often it ends up being an Achilles' Heel that makes your average Mundane Solution seem perfectly reasonable by comparison.
What's left for the modern hero and villain to do? Make do with a Weaksauce Weakness. Most of the original Flying Bricks have the good Achilles heels covered, and the pharmacy is even out of Psycho Serum to give you a cheap Backstory gimmick to explain your powers.
