Top 10 STUPID SUPERHERO POWERS THAT ARE ACTUALLY POWERFUL
Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
We all look at the powers like super strength, super speed, x ray vision as the kinds of
powers we want to have.
But there are loads of underrated superheroes with powers out there that may initially come
off as dumb, yet are actually extremely useful and, if harnessed the correct way, really
powerful as well.
So let’s take a look at the top 10 STUPID SUPERHERO POWERS THAT ARE ACTUALLY POWERFUL.
In the number 10 spot we have GOLDSTAR.
Ernest Widdle is basically the polar opposite of Lobo.
He is a clean cut and kind, and this is literally his super power.
He’s a nice guy.
Seems pretty lame right, the bad guys don’t care how nice you are, nice guys finish last.
But he emits these niceness vibes in an attempt to get others to turn kinder and moralistic.
Maybe he wasn’t the best example of how to utilize a power like this, but imagine
a superhero with a niceness power enough to affect countries?
Maybe then we would finally accomplish world peace.
Coming in at number 9 is MATTER EATER LAD.
Quickly becoming one of my new favorites, Tenzil Kem has the ability to eat anything.
Literally anything.
Not only does this make him an elite Yelp reviewer, but time and time again he has saved
himself and friends from certain death.
Whether it’s eating his way out of a prison or devouring the miracle machine to save the
universe, matter eater lad’s got it covered.
That one only drove him insane for a few years, anyway.
Next, at number 8 we got ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. J Pennington Pennypacker was just your average
accountant until he enrolled in a self esteem camp that was actually a testing field for
a mad scientist; what else is new?
After a scientist used a superpower granting device on J, he developed the ability to shoot
loose change from his wrist.
That’s right, endless amounts of small change!
Who says you can’t throw money at your problems?
Except I highly recommend he stay out of Canada if he wants those pennies to be usable.
In the number 7 spot is CYPHER.
Doug Ramsey is a mutant with the ability to understand any language he comes into contact
with.
This includes written, spoken, computer, and even body language.
While in the world of super powers it seems he got the short end of the stick, but in
real life application this is an extremely useful and important power.
Breaking through the language barrier has many utilities, from finding the bathroom
in a foreign country to making sure no one can ever talk bad about you right in front
of your face.
Coming in at number 6 we have DOORMAN.
Demarr Davis is a GreatLake Avenger with the interesting mutant ability to create doorways
through his body into basically any structure.
Yes, the creation of doors doesn’t exactly sound that exciting, but when it comes to
stealth attacks or entering Target after closing hours, Doorman is your guy.
And imagine the look on your enemies’ faces when you break into their super secure lairs
time after time.
Next up, at number 5 is BLACK CAT.
After Felicia Hardy made a deal with Kingpin, she was granted the ability to bestow bad
luck upon her enemies.
This seems extremely open ended and abstract, but anyone who has ever walked under a ladder
or broken a mirror and suffered a string of bad luck knows how debilitating it can be.
And you don’t even have to look like the guilty one if your enemy just happens to get
hit by a truck by crossing an empty freeway.
Up next at number 4 is DOGWELDER.
This one is a little questionable, but also maybe the strongest combat-wise on the list.
Dogwelder never speaks, never shows his face, and has the ability, if you can call it that,
to weld dead dogs to people.
It seems insane, but if you had a dead dog welded to your face, you would probably be
down for the count in an instant.
So if you want the ability to traumatize your enemies beyond the point of returning an attack,
dog welding is the way to go.
Also, please don’t.
In the number 3 spot, we have CHLOROPHYLL KID.
Ral Benem accidently fell into a tank of hydroponic serum, and with this came his newfound power
to stimulate plant growth.
No, this doesn’t exactly strike fear into the hearts of villains, but sometimes with
these powers we need to look beyond combat use.
Imagine if we had a real life chlorophyll kid who could grow endless amounts of fruit
and vegetable bearing plants.
We would never have to face starvation again; this alone makes his power one of the most
useful out there.
Coming in at number 2 is AQUAMAN.
We don’t always do this guy justice, to be fair no one really does.
Thanks a lot super Friends.
But today we’re going to clear the air around the whole talking to fish thing.
Aquaman doesn’t just have nice little chats about the weather.
Rather, he mentally summons them to do his bidding, and this sounds a lot more formidable
when you remember that sharks are fish too.
You don’t want to mess with Aquaman when he’s got his shark posse around.
And finally, in the number 1 spot, we’ve got SUPERMAN.
Okay hold up, doesn’t this guy have basically all the top notch powers?
In short, yes, but he also had one power for a while that seems insanely dumb, but actually
has a lot of utility.
Back in Superman #125, Superman’s New power, our hero had the ability to shoot mini supermen
from his fingers.
So now superman has the ability to create his own sidekick at his will.
But most importantly, he gains the ability to always have a friend by his side.
One that gets more attention than he does and eventually he tries to kill.
But nothing like having a friend.
So those were the top 10 stupid powers that are actually powerful.
Let me know in the comment section down below what weird power you would like to have.
