What's the most useless mutant power to have?
>>
>>82811019
The one that kills you
>>
That chameleon dude in the uncanny x-men (2013) who just naturally makes himself look like people he's talking to without getting any kind of powers or anything.
>>
>>82811320
actually his power was very useful. he was basically appealing to everyone's inner narcissism. it was a cool concept until Bendis just made it so he was the perfect infiltrator including being a biological chaff grenade.
>>
>>82811019
There is a character named Symphony or maybe Cacophony that has the mutanant power of four extra mouths on her neck.Another one would be the character Skin that has the mutant power of possessing loose hanging skin flaps like a former obese person.

Mutant jumping powers.

The one where you can explode but only once
>>
>>82811019
X-Ceptional from the Worst X-Man Ever miniseries. He only has the power to explode and then be dead because he just exploded.

Clearly you've forgotten about Gazer.
>>
You guys remember Beak? Yeah.....
>>
>>82814730
I still believe that he had a mutant ability that was just left undiscovered.
Like how Emma Frost didn't know she could turn into a diamond gal until a supersentinel blew up the country she was in.
I keep thinking that if Beak had ever tried to do something other than fly he could have maybe breathed fire or something.
>>
>>82814860
sometimes shit mutations are just shit mutations
>>
The one where you don't have any cool powers, but just a fucked up freak.
>>
>>82814611
So how does he know he's got that power? He's never used it before
>>
>>82815249
Beast tested him and told him that.
>>
>>82815030
Yeah, but not because there's no actual mutant power.
The problems usually arrive because their development gets screwed up by trauma (like Cyclops or Rogue)
or their appearance is abnormal but still in keeping with their abilities (Nightcrawlers demonic themes, Angel's wings, Blindfold's not needing eyes)
or inherited from their parents' mutations (Mystique and Kurt's blue skin and yellow eyes, Magneto and Quicksilver's white hair)

Her mutant power is literally to go to hell.

>>82815420
he did blow up and die though

>>82815420
Mutations are literally his specialty. What Tony Stark is to engineering, he is to mutations.

everything tastes like Styrofoam for 30 seconds at the cost of your vision

>>82811019
Forget-Me-Not
You'd say he's the perfect spy, but even if he did pull it off nobody would even remember the mission. Or they would, but they'd also send somebody because they somehow set up an entire mission with no agent.
>>
>>82816255
Permanent cost of my vision or for 30 seconds?
Because if that's the case then I become a sideshow act eating disgusting tasting objects.
>>82816659
Yeah but so long as he has his own motives or they create a method of remembering then he's fine. In fact the entire issue could probably be fixed by a simply writing down "we sent a guy, but his powers make it so you can't remember him, but we sent him." since that'd be outside the scope of his powers would it not. But he has to remember to move the note or else the X-men will sit on their asses thinking they sent a guy on a mission he's not even involved in.
>>
>>82816114
If he's so great at genetics then why is he still unnaturally blue and furry despite years of trying to fix that?
>>
>>82812185
Well with a power set like that then you are the perfect infiltrator, and it was less appealing to the inner narcissism and more making everyone around him calm and comfortable.

I don't know about most useless. In a world that didn't hate mutants so much, you could get a sweet deal on modeling or starring in porn if you had angel wings.
>>
>>82817287
I hope a shark kill you
>>
>>82818415
Hell, the porn writes itself.
>Touched by an Angel
>7 Inches in Heaven
>The Divine Sex Comedy
>One Flew Over the Nudist Colony
>The Big Bird Cage
>Way UP!
Seriously, there are easily a million good porn titles for his flicks.
>>
>>82817086
I don't remember him trying to fix it, but when offered a cure he did think about it because of what his secondary mutation was doing to his personal life.
>>
>>82811019
Transparent skin
>>
>>82818570
Great for medical students though.
>>
Husk
Can shed skin
Yay
>>
>>82816659
Did he like die at the end of X-Men Legacy? I haven't read that issue in a while
>>
>>82811019
See OP, flight isn't so much as a useless power. It's more of the soy sauce of super powers. Great if you can put it on something but almost completely useless if you don't.
>>
>>82813992
JUMP GOOD,?
>>
>>82811019
One that only kills you. Like 10% of all mutants, forget which comic said it.
>>
>>82818609
>your mutant power is med class TA
>>
>>82818721
Every time Husk sheds herbskin, she gets a new mutant power, doesn't she? I distinctly remember one time she tore off her own skin to reveal a rock monster underneath. Sexy rock monster, but it was the 90's.
>>
>>82818863

you say it like that, but remember that for a long time being able to study the body was so rare that people literally robbed tombs.

Now, being able to see a functioning, mutant body? Gold mine for doctors.

Cancer.

I forget the guys name but the comic was "worst Xman ever."
He could explode his head but that was it. After his head blew up he'd just be dead.

Borders on indestructible, enhanced strength, absorbs food, he's disgusting, but not useless.
