Afflicting random advantages?

I've seen in a couple games "I can brew a mad science chemical that gives a random major super power" or "I can impart a random minor super power" or something along those lines.

Something like "I can give any super power" I'm guessing you'd do with either Modular Abilities (re-arrange Affliction:Advantage) or by taking Variable Enhancements on Affliction.

But that would normally let you specify what advantage you gave, so how would it work if you had no control over which one happened and were basically rolling random dice (or letting GM decide) to determine what happened?

Closest I could guess would be taking Uncontrollabe + Unconscious Only combo so that you couldn't consciously re-arrange modular abilities (or rearrange enhancements) and maybe just somehow rule-out the usual benefit of being able to stop it self-rearranging via a will roll?
