Favouite Lame Power

Favorite 'lame' power

What's your favorite 'lame' power? They're the tiny, quirky little abilities that won't overwhelmingly win battles or win you a spot as an X-man, but with a bit of creativity...

Mine would be empathy, both receiving and sending. Everyone goes on and on about telepaths that can control your every thought and memory, but really, why bother with mix-and-matching someone else's brain (and risk seeing all those icky thoughts) when you can nudge them into liking you, or create/manipulate their emotions to your own ends?

Then there's plant control. It doesn't even have to be 'make a giant sequoia appear in ten seconds' strong, just enough to help along... certain plants... medicinal plants...

Note: The power you pick doesn't have to be used for good, money making and evil are also perfectly acceptable.

Keep the faith 😇

Super Ventriloquism

the Spot is a whiney loser but has a cool power

lame powers..... hmmmm........ having two extra arms is pretty lame.... but you could become an excellent Boxer or the Ultimate Fighting Champion

thier was a new mutant he had the ability to learn other langauges at a super human rate...that won't exactly strike fear in the hearts of evil doers

Luck.

In every Longshot vs fight I like to say something like "soandso gets hit by a leer jet full of nuns and dynamite. Longshot wins!"

The Tick has his "nigh invulnerability" which is another way of saying "we don't know how tough he is."

I once took a "Which super hero are you" quiz and one of the choices for which power I'd want was "Inflict emotional pain." The thought of me making someone feel emotionally distraught as my power was too hilarious to imagine.

Actually Angel has a pretty lame power. Basically having your entire body adapted to flight doesn't exactly sound that threatening, but it is incredibly cool IMO. Not to mention looking like an angel 😍

As for villain powers, Riptide comes to mind. Spinning at an incredibly fast speed may sound silly, but when you then release shuriken (or anything pointy for that matter) can be interesting. From what i know, he was one of the few that managed to severely injure Colossus 👆

You should have a little discussion with a guy called "The Adversary" and a horde of demons about that. Oh...and Storm too 😄
