Extreme levels of social awkwardness and the innate ability to infect/inject other people with it temporarily. An angry mob is throwing bricks in the streets? Let Sup-Aut talk to them for five minutes and everyone will be so uncomfortable that they'd rather go home than rioting. Sup-Aut is especially effective because they, too, would rather go home soon that continue standing in the spotlight, so these encounters usually take all of five minutes until the respective issue is resolved.
Weakness: everything they get told to resolve has to be done either RIGHT NOW and completely unprepared, or they'll procrastinate and prepare until the city burned to the ground. There is no middle ground between these extremes, and it is impossible to predict which one will happen.
