Useless Superpowers

Getting back on-topic, I really liked 99% opacity man.

What if you are in a duello and you have the sole power to supercharge other's ability?...not the very ideal in that kind of situation as far as your opponent couldn't catch you... Well, in the last episode of heroes season 3, that was the power Ando acquired - which was amusing at first - but on the other hand.....

Sofaman: Batman has an incredible array of awesome gadgets and high training... Green Lanterns have those funky rings which are only limited to their imagination. And the colour yellow (hahaha). Green Arrow is an archer. Come on! LAME! Cool in Sherwood Forest mayhaps... but alongside the Batmobile and the Green Lantern Corps?! Bah! He's such a spare tyre.

This thread also made me think about Mystery Men! A whole movie (based on a comic) about a team of super-heroes with lame powers!


From L-R:
+ The Bowler: Has a haunted bowling ball
+ Invisible Boy: Can become invisible but only if nobody looks at him
+ The Sphinx: Can cut guns in half with his mind (okay, that's a pretty cool power - but he talks in nonsensical idioms).
+ The Shoveller: Can shovel really well.
+ The Spleen: Cursed by a gypsy. Smells really bad - ranged fart attacks.
+ Mr Furious: Unlimited rage.
+ The Blue Raja: Fights with spoons and forks, but not knives because they're barbaric. Note that his costume isn't blue. Speaks with a fake English accent.

So does GA. He (and his Marvel ripoff Hawkeye) had loads and loads of different high-tech arrowheads. Batman and Green Arrow are very similar in many important respects:

- Both are billionaires. Well GA was, anyway.
- Both have access to a large array of high tech gadgetry, although GA's is mostly archery related, natch.
- Both are highly trained physically, with considerable acrobatic and martial arts skill.

The green Robin Hood cap is a bit natty, I grant you.

If memory serves me correctly Green Arrow also won a martial arts competition which included fighters the likes of Batman and Huntress, this was the 2nd green arrow though, Ollie the sone of the original.

So yes while lame and very gimicky as well as being DC's answer to Hawkeye dude can fight.

I think the lamess is Antman.... ok so your going to shrink to the size of an ant..... then what???

If we're being very nerdy and pedantic, Hawkeye is Marvel's answer to Green Arrow. GA was created in 1941, Hawkeye in 1965.
