They wouldnt be a super hero then would they? Or an X-Man?

Therefore they would not be in the comic / movie etc...

Hence why they aren't.

I personally know super-flatulance woman. Her "bad" super powers are quite "super"

Really not a good person to be trapped in an elevator with...

Maxim, or was it FHM, just did an article on the 20 lamest super heroes/powers. Fits your description exactly.

They do have those in the X-Men comic books... they're called Morlocks, the mutants who live in the sewers.

ha! that movie was hilarious.

I don't remember lots of the main guys dyeing, tho. . .

I mean, the REAL superhero got nuked early, but as I recal, the other people survived.

But they did have some worthless superpowers: I can be invisible . . . when no one is looking at me! and things of this nature.

anywho,

Meg Griffin's wolverine-like fingernails.

"ow! you scratched me! oh, it didn't break the skin. But it hurt!"
