Hey, so I did this parody of the x-men "If the X-men were more realistic" and it got me thinking about the lamest mutant abilities in the x-men comics. So which do you think are the lamest mutant "powers"? I have longneck, ugly john and cypher within my list.

Also Mur Lafferty wrote a great little novel called Playing for Keepsabout Keepsie's Bar. The Bar is populated exclusively with 3-4th tier mutants. The waitress has hypernatural sense of balance. the cook always knows how to prepare exactly what you want even if you don't know what it is. Keepsie, the owner, has an interesting ablility: she can never be stolen from. You can never take from her something that is hers.
All things being equal, it's still better than "Arm Fall Off Boy."
The problem with Doug is that writers never knew what to do with him because he was weaker than the other members and didn't possess their fighting skills or offensive mutant abilities. I challenge that by simply saying, THAT'S WHY HE'S ON A TEAM.
As far as my own pick for lamest mutant ability, I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Adam X so far. Was his baseball cap a secondary mutation?

And I suppose the power is only as good as the wielder but Goldballs may be written well now but c'mon.............. Goldballs. How arbitrary.
