We all wish we had super powers , and when we close our eye and daydream about our newfound awesomeness we see ourselves flying , being super strong , moving things with our minds , setting things or ourselves aflame . But for some the dream of being mutate and gaining superhuman abilities does hail unfeigned , perhaps too true .
For every person who has a good job , better house , and better toys there are the dregs , the pool swill whose unhappy task is to hold up in the shadow of greatness . I ’m talking about the superheroes who were given extremely crippled super abilities and force to go a life of derision and takeoff while fighting offence alongside their more gifted peers . For every high flyer there is a super crawler with an equally single - minded or eye - rollingly halting name . allow ’s explore illustriousness ’ dark and have a look at the worst super powers ever created .
There were a passel to prefer from , so at the bottom of the leaning I ’ve included some more heroes whose king for one reason or another were not quite as lame as the powers in the leaning , but hilariously lame enough to earn an honorable honorable mention .

After his expiry Cypher amassed a cult following , though it is hard to say if it was one of pity or appreciation .

8. Rainbow Girl
Super Power : falsify the worked up spectrum ( resulting in violent mood swings )
You might find yourself with your head securely place in your palm as you wonder what in the populace DC was thinking when they make Dori Aandraison , Rainbow Girl . This completely sexist character relied on her emotions rather than her physical ability to handle post . A spoof of adult female everywhere , this diacetylmorphine could harness the king of the rainbow with such colors as red ( ira ) , drear ( Bob Hope ) , and green ( willpower ) to assist her allies and fight crime with her womanly moodiness . Perhaps more insulting was her rainbow pheromone shield , which made her the most pop little girl and universally well - like gal around .

6. Arm-Fall-Off-Boy
Super Power : Detachable arms
Again , the name allege it all . If you demand to lie a serious beatnik down on a nefarious fool , why find fault up a bat or crowbar when you’re able to detach your branch and bludgeon the guy ? Not only is Arm - Fall - Off - Boy always armed and ready for a battle , he ’s genial and always there to lend his fellow torpedo a hand … Seriously this has got to be one of the bad nail - on - head superheroes ever , and not note a very ineffective and ridiculous tiptop index . DC has turn out one matter with Arm - Fall - Off - Boy , that a super index can be reduced to a cheap front room trick .

4. Dogwelder
Super Power : Welding blackguard head on the face of his enemies
I opine this ace power definitely bring home the bacon for most awkward and has nudged its way into the creepy and deranged category . Dogwelder was from theHitmanseries and a member of Section Eight , a group of superheroes who fought criminals in rather unconventional ways . The basis of Dogwelder ’s ability is moderately literal ; he would weld the heads of dogs onto the faces of the evil - doers . This was the manner this guy rope agitate crime , weld dogs to the faces of wickedness . It is unknown how having a Canis familiaris head graft onto one ’s face would break off felonious activity … mayhap it was a sick shaming proficiency that would force villains into hiding .

One one-half of the Wonder Twins , Zan has the ability to change into water - based forms ( strong , liquid , or flatulence ) . His sister Jayna , on the other , can take the shape ( and magnate ) of any animal , substantial or mythological . So while Jayna could transform into a cobra , lion , or even a Draco , Zan could alter into a bucket of water or a snow cone . Rest assured , when the forces of evil attack Earth , Zan will be able-bodied to dampen their spirits and mess up their hair while his awesome sister rips them apart .

2. The Red Bee
Super Power : geartrain plan of attack bees to crusade crime
Rick Raleigh was the Assistant District Attorney of Superior City , and at nighttime transformed into basically a powerless vigilante who was agonizingly less coolheaded than Batman — The Red Bee donned a ruby bodysuit play along with a pinkish puffy - sleeved pirate blouse and red and yellow strip down leggings . If his costume was n’t enough to place this bozo as particularly feeble , his “ tops power ” sure will . This mook actually need on the forces of immorality with his trustworthy brother , Michael . Michael was a bee . Yes , a trained bumble bee who lived in the Red Bee ’s utility belt . let the cat out of the bag about lame , this guy spend his free time training bumble bees to press offense . He must have had to train thousands of Michaels , given the fact that bees die once they sting . This tops ability is altogether useless ; Rick should turn in his pinkish plagiarizer blouse and stick with his mean solar day job .

1. Doorman
Super Power : Ability to metamorphose ego into a door
Member of the Great Lakes Avengers , his power was to transform himself into a door to usher other fictitious character through him and into an adjoining room . It is exceedingly lame that Doorman ’s super power is to transport people from one room to another , but the rooms have to be adjoining or his ability does n’t make . His power as a literal door is halt enough , but the fact that his major power is limited to rooms that are meet explodes the lame scurf . I mean if Doormat , I entail Doorman , could at least teleport multitude that would be one heck of a hike to his significance factor .
