I remember that one wonder twin who would turn into something based on water.
He sucked.

I was waiting for someone to mention Aquaman. I've always thought the underwater characters like him and Namor were kind of interesting, but not a lot of people seem to agree.

Namor> Aquaman, just a much more interesting character in general. Aquaman is a lot more interesting than people give him credit for, though.
I always thought that, for all their coolness, the Green Lantern corps weakness to the color yellow was pretty f***ing stupid. thank god they got rid of it finally
as for stupid powers, nothing tops The Hoopster (well, except for that loser who decided to COPY the Hoopster)

Not a comic character, but that kid on Captain Planet with the Heart Ring got shafted. The redheaded guy can burn things to the ground, the blond chick can create a friggin tornado, yet this poor bastard can only talk to a monkey.

And he got shafted real bad.

Stiltman ... he has the ability to extend his legs ... woah. Don't let it get to your head, oh wait you turned supervillain ... and got beat up by daredevil ... oh and now I hear Punisher killed you .. yeah anyway. The Great Lake Avengers. Crappy Powers but pisstake stories, fun stuff. ![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/33/Doormanaction.jpg) and the two versions of the Grasshopper.

My vote goes to the Color Kid, who can change the color of things.
I can just imagine what an emergency he'd respond to would be like.
"You'll never stop me and my gigantic raygun which will destroy the world!...Wait...stop...what are you doing?...NO! You've turned my raygun hot pink! How will I ever be able to use it and still be able to retain my masculinity? Curse you Color Kid!!"

I have to say:
Aquaman, Aqualad, and any other water based hero, unless their power was the ability to summon/control water.
Wallflower - An X-Man whose power was that she emits a pheromone that cause those who smell/breathe it to feel the same emotion she feels at the time.....utterly weak.......the character herself was hot, but her powers....meh.
On the basis of powers, Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, and the Watchmen are also crappy, as they have no real power....just better human attributes, such as higher intelligence, greater will to fight on, inventive, lots of money.....etc.

Actually, I think we can just blanket every superhero that had no TRUE super power under this category of crappy-ness, as, no matter how badass they may be(Punisher, Batman, Watchmen, etc.), they are really powerless.

I remember they debuted two new X-men during the bland crossover with Bastion as the lead villain. Maggot, who had these two energy eating maggots that were...his digestive system. AHEM!!!!!!! Tell the whole story. The slugs when they ate matter (they could eat through anything) gave the energy to Maggott and that gave him super stregnth and other powers. He could trace events that happened in his vicinity too Do not doubt the awesomeness of Maggott!!!!!!!!!! As far as lame super powers go how about Cypher? Yes Cypher of the New Mutants His mutant power was the power to understand languages.......... Yes you read that he was a human translator...... No wonder he got killed so easily

I mean like they have to be in water or something weird like that but superman is..boring, why? cos he is Superman..superhuman with every superpower under the sun, hes basicly a walking Deus ex machina (the actual thing..NOT our Danish Mod ) plus because hes the way he is, its inevitable he can defeat everyone, i'm suprised theres not been an edition with a storyline similar to the bit on the movie Mystery Men when Captain Amazing has to basicly set a villian free just so he has a supervillian nemesis again you actually watched mystery men?

Good to see Stilt-Man already mentioned: ![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Daredevil_8.jpg) I often wonder you see all these different X-Men teams like X-Men, X-Force, X-Factor, eXcalibur, New Mutants and Generation X. I wonder if Professor X has a 'Lame Powers Division' a division that gets turned to when all the other X teams are busy or if its not worth their effort(like getting a cat out of a tree or something). EDIT: Just thinking about it there was a mutant in X-Men movies whose powers were that he could change the channel on TVs. Great I'm sure he could be an annoyance to Magneto when he looses the remote to his TV.

Dazzler. She could make light. Whew, Banging her would be fun, though. Or getting stoned and listening to Pink FLoyd with her would be neat.

Matter Eater Lad, who's power was......eating matter. Either him or that poor poor Aqualad. Imagine being the guy who talks to fish's complain and/or rude female.

Im not really heavy into comics, but I swear there was a guy from X-men maybe, that had to scream in order to fly Banshee, former villain turned hero in the X-Men. Actually a good character, along with his daughter Siren. Anyone remember Doug Ramsey of the New Mutants? His mutant power was to translate languages. That's it. How about the Legion of Substitute Heroes? A group of failed try-outs for the Legion of Super-Heroes in teh DC's 31st Century. They included Stone Boy (who could turn into stone, but couldn't move), Chlorophyll Kid (making plants grow fast... might be good for a grow op, but not as a super-hero), Color Kid (changing color of stuff) and Double-Header (guy with two heads).
