Most useless team member you can think of.
I just saw a very amusing perceptive sketch on BBC2 it paired a couple of superheroes "Angel Summoner" and the "BMX Bandit". It was hilarious and distilled certain hilarious concepts in comics. Angel Summoner had the power to summon hordes of angels described as superpowered immortal beings. BMX bandit had his BMX skills. The premise was what was the point of BMX Bandits skills, strategy and ability to "pop a wheelie" when Angel Summoner could summon beings of limitless power. It reminded me of team ups like Thor and Spiderman. What is the most stupid reduntant team up you can remember in comics?

When the team is fighting ancient sea monsters the size of Manhattan, I'm gonna say yes.

Good point. Let's see if this can be topped. Rick Jones and the Hulk Vs. the Skulls is always funny.

hands down, Tigra.
there's this one issue of Avengers where they go to fight the Ghost Rider, and I just remember Cap remarking that the team's only at half rooster... it was Thor, Iron Man, and himself. then, he states, "better bring Tigra along" or something like that... and I just remember wondering to myself "what the hell is Tigra going to do that Captain America, the Invincible Iron Man, and a God couldn't?"

Physically... sure. But if it's brains you're looking for, Bats is your man.
The JLA has relied heavily on his genius tactics plenty o' times.

Cause who needs a guy with the army and resources of the biggest nation on earth, is in constant contact with 2 thirds of life on the planet, is one of the more experienced heroes on earth and has diplomatic immunity? That's all worthless.
Unless you're talking about Aquanoob... and in that case... well yeah.
