TheMarvelUniverse is home to many of comics greatest superpowered characters.

Hundreds of heroes and villains have been bestowed god-like powers to change the world as they see fit.

However, not every superpower is as super as the rest.

Whether theyre self-destructive, explosively violent, or simply lackluster, many Marvel powers honestly just suck.

While most dream of being given superpowers, some of these abilities will certainly change minds.

The thing is, despite these powers obvious faults, bad superpowers can be incredibly fun.

During the Golden Age of comics, weekly releases meant more stories; eventually, the ideas run dry.

But with time, a lot of the subsequent silly choices provide a good laugh today.

One day, Ulysses was run off the road himself, resulting in a near-fatal brain injury.

While this had made Ulysses notably weaker to magnets, his dense head doubles as a lethal weapon.

But, US Archer is more than just his literal chrome dome.

Archer is a talented engineer who has used his education to modify his big rig with numerous weapons.

Frankies mutant ability causes him to constantly and profusely sweat.

If hes angry, expect this mobster to smell as foul as sewage.

Despite his nefarious criminal ways, Frankie has never actually used his power in combat.

Like theHuman Torch or Firebird, Carol can naturally generate flames that engulf her body with a roaring blast.

Hypothetically, her flames would continue to scorch the young woman until there was no more fuel to burn.

Understandably, Carol refuses to talk about her powers, let alone use them.

As expected, her power is just as damaging to her body as it is to her nervous system.

Like many ofMarvels disenfranchised mutants, Carol lives in District X but still refuses to acknowledge her powers.

To some, Carol seems ashamed of her mutant heritage.

In truth,being a mutant is nothing but pain for Carol Campbell.

Before gaining his superpowers, J. Pennypacker was just an everyday accountant with troubling self-esteem issues.

While these Omega-level mutants may not be Omega-memorable, they still rank among Marvel’s most powerful mutants.

Carol Campbell is set on fire.

Some even border on godhood.

However, Pennypacker isnt shooting wads of dollar bills out of his wrists, he shoots pennies.

Despite his odd powers, Fluff is probably one of the X-Mens most confident heroes.

From an outside perspective, Gabriel can move at incredible speeds.

Still, the power to slow down time is amazing.

That is, if it wasnt for one major drawback.

While Velocidad slows down time around him, he cannot apply that power to himself.

As time outside his bubble moves at a snails pace, Gabriel experiences time at normal speed.

When his mutant abilities first manifested, Gabriel couldnt release the power.

Fluff talks about his gross power.

But, thats about it.

Soon, heroes, villains, and everyday citizens within range were given the full set of Spider-Mans powers.

Reed Richards realized that the Jackals insects only affect those without powers already.

Velocidad is freed from his time bubble.

If anyone goes camping, they may actually get a use out of their power.

Since childhood, Edie Sawyer struggled with recurring narcoleptic episodes.

In U-Go Girls defense, her teleportation powers are godly.

For a while, Edie believed that drinking copious amounts of coffee would free her from this downside.

Instead, she was just jittery and still narcoleptic.

ForgetMeNot is probablythe X-Men franchisesmost well-known, but oddly unrecognizable, problematically powered mutants.

ForgetMeNot has been one ofthe X-Men’s leading heroespretty much every step of the way.

He fought alongside his allies against the alien Brood.

He served as a soldier during theAge of Xstoryline.

Hes even taken down a few Super-Sentinels on his own.

Most impressively, ForgetMeNot valiantly sacrificed himself for Krakoa and effectively staved off Nimrods invasion.
