What's the most useless superpower to have?
Any ideas?
Im the Alpha and the Omoxus. The Omoxus and the Omega
in X Men 3 there was a boy that made all the other mutants lose their powers when they were near him.
I believe that is the most useless superpower to have, he made everyone else lose their abilities but he had no abilities himself lol
I'll look down, and whisper no

That's was almost a logic paradox

The kid's name was Leech. In the world of X-Men that has uses. With him nearby killing Wolverine would be easy, unstoppable enemies would be easily stopped, super-powerful mutants would be just muggles... It's pretty much the only ultimate defence against some - look at the trouble Bishop caused in First Class: could have been easily solved if you just put leech by him then shoot him dead. If he had been with the group of young mutants disabling Bishop's power Darwin would not have 'died',
Then in the comics world you find mutants so powerful they could destroy the Earth with just thought. Stopping people that powerful would be challenging, unless you have Leech with you.
Leech's ability is far from useless.

that might benefit the x men group and benefit their missions, it might benefit others,
But in no way does it ever benefit him. He is almost like a regular human, That was my point, If he needed to escape from the police or something he has no way to use any power to do it,
If he was in trouble or they were going to shoot him or something, again, No way to defend himself the ways that other mutants can.
He might be useful to fight another mutant, but that's it. in his every day life he has no special abilities or anything. Like I said, He is almost like a regular human that takes other's powers away.
he literally had no powers to use to help himself.

Whether or not use is for himself or others is kinda irrelevant to the question asked - which is "most useless". Since this power has a use, and a very good one, it's far from useless.

if you want to get technical. the question is What is the most useless power TO HAVE?
HAVE? get it? as in Power that you HAVE to use for YOURSELF.
the kid's power could be used For other people By other people, other people would benefit from it. OTHER people.
HE technically has No powers, he has the ability to take away the powers of other mutants. Ability to take away. that's not a POWER. he doesn't have the Power to do anything.
Literally, he cannot do anything with that power, He CAN'T use the power he "Has"
he CAN'T Control it, He CAN'T manipulate it. He CAN'T affect other people at will,
other people can use the kid. but He cannot do anything. he can't fly or control the weather,
like i said, he is a human with the ability to take away other people's powers.
Useless.

The having of something does not necessarily mean it must be for your use, especially with powers. It just means you own it.
I would think if Leech was stuck in a room with a powerful mutant trying to kill him his power would also be pretty damn useful for him because then he actually gets a chance to survive. Not a hypothetical either - it actually has saved his life like this before in the comics.
Furthermore, on the comics side of things - he does learn to use it better. Which means he can turn it off or on as he needs to and even target it - affecting only those he actively chooses.
In the X-Men Evolution cartoon his power also affected energy sources that were non-mutant as well - as demonstrated when he caused guns to jam and all electronics to stop working in a city block.
His power does have uses, even for him, which is the bloody point.

you have made up your mind and you are a big fan. I can understand that nothing I say will ever change how you feel about the character.
let's leave it at that

Too bad Wolverine has no actual superpowers to use offensively.
Unless you're referring to his increased stamina and strenght.
"Gar nicht so übel, du kleine Schlampe. Man sieht sich immer zweimal, Kleine." share
I was thinking more along the lines of Leech inhibiting Wolverine's healing factor which, if left alone long enough will kill him because his body is constantly fighting the metal on his skeleton which will eventually result in a toxic build-up -- normally his healing factor combats this but without it he could die, eventually, although it would take a long time. Or so you could, ya know, just stab him. He also won't heal when he uses his claws so they'll just stay bleeding and really painful,
It would also reduce his stamina, reflexes and speed which can be attributed to his healing factor also. Because of the weight of his metal skeleton and his body fighting it he will weaken quickly, tire much easier, and so a much more manageable threat. In a fight Leech would still lose, granted (Wolverine IS a highly trained killer with blades in his hands, after all), but say Leech had a gun? Odds of winning much higher. Mutant friend with offensive abilities? Bye bye Wolvy.
