Who are the biggest underachievers in comics...in other words, who in your opinion underutilizes the potential of their power to the greatest degree?

Every top tier

/thread

Batman and Nova

Yeah, Batman should put his powers to better use.

lmao.

Top tier energy manipulators in that case since the flying brick powerset is way easier to write.

Nightcrawler, Iceman, most of the X-Men in general.

Champion for first prize...its tragic. Actually im not sure if thats the same thing...thats more like jobbing.

Wolverine, Flash, and Dean Lister

wolverine? really?

Flash. Don't think there's much contest on that.

I agree

Iceman is a big underachiever in my book

The guy could do so much with his powers but he ends up being so average

J'onn, Flash, Pretty much every GL, most DC characters are either written so over powered they make them retarded or are so completely underpowered they make them gods in caparison to what they should be able to do.

As for Marvel, SS obviously, Sentry, Iceman, Dr. Strange

apocalypse and zoom

Green Lanterns need a certain amount of willpower to pull off the stuff that they do though. It's not like any plain GL can do the things Hal do.

Basically high end matter and energy manipulators like SS,Thor,etc

Green Lanterns and the Flashes in general.

Molecule Man.

The guy could destroy the universe, but is in a random jail on Earth..

Yeah, the problem is that Hal sucks too now.

GL's have rarely been written to potential but Geoff has totally raped them.

Yeah, I'm not exactly overjoyed regarding Alan Scott's use of the ring either. He creates a lot of battering rams ...RAMS

there should be a thread devoted to the crap way in which GLs use their rings

Onslaught is the biggest underachiever.
