Marvelhas some ponderous hitter in its character roll , with everyone make love the gauze-like mightiness of Heron like Spider - Man , Captain Marvel , and Thor , as well as the vast scourge of Marvel villains like Doctor Doom , Sabretooth , and Galactus . However , not every character in Marvel ’s comics can be powerful and redoubtable , with quite a few being pretty weak , especially compared to some of their match .
Likewise , there are Marvel characterswho have powers that are so useless that they frankly would not be worse off without their power .

have the magnate of being unmemorable , there are not many occasion for ForgetMeNot to glow - not that anyone would remember if he did . Maybe , as a undercover agent or a bank robber , ForgetMeNot would have been capable to do good from his ability to be indiscernible by telepathy or technology as well as being totally unable to be memorized . Even acting as a Robin Hood sort of figure would have made ForgetMeNot ’s major power add up to ripe consumption .
However , this kind of noble escapade is not in the cards forthe forgettable 10 - Men member , as he is perennially overlook and unnoticed by his teammates and just about anyone else that ever comes into touch with him . Regardless , leave Me Not , whose substantial name is Xabi ( his last name is unsurprisingly unknown ) , is too heroic and altruistic to care about being constantly forgotten as long as he is doing something that matter .

Despite his mutant abilities , Beak genuinely believe that his only literal superpower is that he is adept at reach champion .
It would be well-to-do to assume that having the caliber of a raspberry would have a embarrassment of benefit . In contrast , Beak bear witness the opposition to be true . However , Beak ’s talons on his hand and foot are very strong and could well do damage to an enemy , so Beak ’s otherwise fairly underwhelming mightiness have some utilization , especially in struggle if nowhere else .

Eye - Scream has the superpower of being capable to turn himself into any savor of crank cream . He can even turn himself into a banana stock split flavor . frankly , while that might not be the most threatening or hefty power , it vocalize like a clap ( and tasty ) . Being capable to turn into any sparkler ointment flavor would be useful for aid people who are hungry or for quieten down peevishness - tantrum - throwing child , but there are not too many other uses for a mutation who can produce ice ointment , specially in battle .
While Eye - Scream ’s power may seem unique , he is not the only Marvel character to have ice - cream - centered powers , with the graphic symbol Soft Serve have the ability to transform her own low-down into soft serve frosting cream .
If one proceed up against the like of aWolverineor a Magneto - eccentric opponent and comes to the fight with only the ability to transforme themselves into a flavor of ice rink ointment , it would be a no - brainer as to who the victor would be . One thing that came out of Eye - Scream ’s frozen powers is that he gave detached icing cream to the kid of Milford when the town was attacked . Despite his strange powers that seem like a one - off caper , Eye - Scream did come along - briefly - during the X - Men ’s Krakoa era .

Given that mogul , of course he would n’t be around to self - detonate a 2d time . Any power that can only be used once in a life is already pretty defective , and Bailey is off to a less - than - outstanding offset .
To add to Bailey ’s defective luck , the top executive being afflictive and vouch death just make it all the more useless as well as incredibly dull and pointless . If he had the power of self - re-formation , like Deadpool , or even a healing component like fellow X - Man Wolverine , his self - detonation power would not be that defective . It ’d be like make a grenade at all times that he could recover from time and again . However , he does not own the ability to regenerate , so his force are , all in all , awful .

In add-on to being blue , Beast , Nightcrawler , and Mystique have actual major power that are unbelievably useful and have made them passing helpful in any team they serve or are a part of . In contrast , being risque does not always refer a powerful mutant . event in degree is John Zander , whose only ability is being the people of colour amobarbital sodium . That ’s it , he ’s just blueish .
O.N.E. has refer John Zander , who also goes by the name Jazz , as a low - stage scourge , which is a surprisal to dead no one . His blueness serve up no real purpose or use whatsoever . He really does not even have any other skill in plus to being blue , like superintelligence or strength . Rather , the only other thing this uselessMarvelcharacter can do is pat - and even at that , he ’s fantastically second-rate .
