    Have you ever thought to yourself, "whats the point in that power? you could just do it yourself you lazy..." (you can finish that sentance) well i have a bit, i think Arch-enemy with some sort of spud gun is a bit pointless, even though he's a villian, okay so i made him up, but like most of GA's arrows, he must carry around with him, EMP's and gas bombs even though he may never use them :/

    okay people get posting :D

    What do people think about bizzaro, reverse superman one, x-ray hearing?

    I always thought it would work like an active sonar, but still a pointless ability :P

    I've thought this was a pointless power in both DC and Marvel.

    Mogo? Aside from being a giant sentient planet, complete with conscious weather control and the ability to move freely through the universe, he's got a ring that he can use if he wanted to, but has yet to need it. His powers are all pretty cool and definitely not pointless. It's just that he has a hard time getting to a battle because of his size.

    The most pointless power in my opinion is this, because apparently, Super-Mathematics is Wrong Mathmatics.

    He appears in one comic and one comic only. His power is having his arms fall off at will. Needless to say he has the lamest powers ever.
