Of all the superheroes you can think of are any of them not up to the job? A wuss is basically what i’m saying. Someone unworthy of the title.

@ delirium Well being English I must say i’ve never heard of this one. Sounds like a chocolate bar to me.

Maybe it would depend on the emergency, for instance not every super hero can breathe under water or in space.
I’ve always thought Batman was pretty hopeless as superheroes go.

I’m not sure but I always wondered what would happen to iron man if he got ‘excited’ in his iron suit? Must be painful… do you think it would sound like a bell tolling… boing!?

@scotsbloke The boy blunder as sidekicks go. Really was totally pathetic.

Wasn’t there a handicapped superhero that wasn’t Professor Xavier, back when everybody was trying to be diverse and sensitive?

What about Rogue from X-Men? I mean as super powers go, super absorbyness leading to a state of being a bit dead, is a bit of a handicap is’nt it?

Douglas Ramsey (“Cypher”) from The New Mutants, way back when. His mutant power was translating languages. Great for a French test, lousy for an emergency. :-)

Jubilee- hands down. She does a lazer light show? Really?

Oh, you came. Uhm…thanks. Yeah, just sit over there and look punky-ish. We’ll handle the giant alien.

@gemiwing That wasn’t Dazzler?

Dazzler, too. She also had the funky disco laser powers.

The Whizzer.

Or, actually, anyone on this list of superheroes. It’s from Cracked.com, so it’s probably NSFW and a whole lot of other things. Funny, though.

Even when I was a little kid, I used to wonder what the heck some writer was thinking when Matter-Eater Lad joined the Legion of Superheroes. His superpower was the ability to eat anything .

@Nullo mentioned Daredevil, the blind superhero with “radar sense”. In the ‘60s and ‘70s, writers had to invent the lamest villains ever so Daredevil could actually beat ‘em.

This question reminds me that it’s unfortunately become a challenge for comic book writers to create dork characters who defeat the most powerful Big Bads in the multiverse. For instance, Squirrel Girl, who took down Galactus, but if a cat were stuck in a tree, I probably wouldn’t call her.

Your shooting a porn flick and the car carrying your male actors gets into a bad car wreck. The studio sends you Rubberman, Inch High Private Eye, and Scoobydo. (I know, not super heros, but you figure out how to cast that one.)
