CloseHi. Stilt Man. Bad power.
"Stilt-Man first appeared in Daredevil vol. 1 #8 and was one of his earliest enemies. He is a criminal wearing a suit of armor with powerful telescopic legs (useful for high-story heists)."

Worst powers? Go watch The Law of Ueki and take your pick. Nothing but terrible powers(sometimes used very creatively but terrible, still.)
LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I have always found the ability to control certain types of animals to be a really lame super power. Typically most animals are weaker than normal humans, which in turn are vastly weaker than superhumans. No quantity of squirrels, however well organized, is a match for the Green Lantern. Really.
Examples:
Aqua Man
Squirrel Girl
Poison Ivy (plants rather than animals, but same idea)

author=KindredzYeah, trash into trees, what the hell! He could be an eco hero though!

Awesome Power:
Xi, one of the mages in Fans! who tried to take over the world in book six, had the ability to create copies of himself. Those copies could then create more copies. Half an hour or so after he obtained this power, there were several hundred of him. It was estimated that within a few hours he would take over the entire planet. They were going to nuke all of Beijing to stop him, but eventually managed to trick him into swarming into a burning building. (Apparently one bad thing about copies of yourself is that if one of them gets tricked, they're likely to all be tricked the same way.)

Don't harp on Batman, guys. He is known for being the world's greatest detective. Mind you, on a practical level he's more Sherlock Holmes than Superman, but he uses his skills for the benifit of society. Because of this, he may not have super-powers but that does not eliminate him from the category of "superhero".
I'm sorry but POISON IVY is FUCKING AWESOME. Controlling plants is not just "lol plants are weaker than humans." She was a botanist who specifically bred super plants. She had gigantic man-eating venus flytraps, frequently confined people using nothing but vines (try and tell me vines are weak when they're completely entangled around you)... you're also forgetting that she has a multitude of other powers. She's immune to botanical poisons. Her kiss is fatal. She can produce mind-controlling pheromones.
LockeZ pls do your research next time

The fact that the comics and cartoons a decent job of attempting to come up with reasonable uses for her ability to control plants, and gives her other powers on top of it, does not make the ability to control plants any less stupid in and of itself. If anything, the fact that she has extra powers indicates that the authors realized that this power alone was really awful, and so they had to give her super plants instead of normal ones, and give her mind-controlling pheromones, and whatever else.
And plus, I mean, sure, okay, she can confine people with vines. I'd still rather be able to confine them with an impassble force field. Or by petrifying them with my gaze. Or by disabling their brain with psychic powers.

BUT plant control has roots in D&D and the like.
Good powers: Henshin!
Bad powers:
(In the manga this was actually quite strong.)
So much for a serious discussion ... :P

I think the ability to control plants is awesome.
even if they aren't super powered or whatever else.
the same goes for animals.
they might not be the strongest against superhumans, but they sure do get the job done when trying to complete villainous activities.
i mean, who wouldn't want an army of bears and poisonous plants on there side?

Controlling gigantic man-eating venus flytraps is still awesome. Also, just because it is not THE BEST power doesn't mean it's not awesome!
Also HAHAHAHA PINK SUGAR HEART ATTACK. IS SO. AWFUL/AWESOME. Can I throw in Sailor Mercury's Shabon Spray?
For the first arc of the series her only special power, besides having a computer, is that she fills an area with fog. Yes. Fog. Visibility reduction FTW.

author=InfectionFilesIt might be cool, but if they are normal plants then they cant move/grow really fast.

so you wouldn't really be able to do anything
edit: unless it's like a telekinesis type thing
I can see how plants COULD be really good to manipulate. They may be no match for someone with laser eyes or super strength, but someone like a telepath, or a flyer... yeah! Also, if the goal was besides fighting, then you're really smoking. You could put out fire, catch falling idiot women, and move through a jungle setting with complete ease. And if you ever go to another alien planet, that's one more boon in your arsenal.
Perhaps though, when you get right down to it, plant manipulation is a good TEAM power, great to have at your side, but not as a solo gig.
However, for this list's intent and purposes, I'll leave it on the bad side.
Also, BurningTiger, I have no idea what your post is about. I don't understand anime.

Sailor Chibi-Moon (the one with the pink hair) is a six year old with a magical wand sent from the future to help her save the world. Its power is to shoot out tiny heart-shaped beams that hurt about as much as if she slapped you.
This is, as you might guess, not very useful.

Bad power: Spirit Bomb
Source: Goku (Dragon Ball Z)
The Spirit Bomb unleashes a beam of energy of unrivaled power. The problem is the condition to use it - it takes minutes or hours to charge up, and gains more power the more living creatures sacrifice their lives to power it up. If the creatures are sentient, it's far more powerful, but their lives must be given willingly. It apparently takes dozens or possibly hundreds of sentient lives to reach the point where its power even matches a single punch.
Goku used this ability several times, two of which worked, and two of which failed:
- The first time, he sacrificed much of the plant and animal life over a large region, which took something like fifteen minutes of charging. And he got kicked in the nuts before he could finish, so the bomb lost most of its power and merely injured his opponent.
- The second time, he hid for several hours while sacrificing most of the living creatures on the planet he was on, and several surrounding planets. This time he dealt a direct hit, but his opponent was strong enough to survive anyway. Wow, seriously!? To be fair, most of the life on the planet had already been annihilated, but still, seriously!?
- The third time, he somehow convinced *all of planet earth* to give their lives to power his attack. His friends had to defend him for hours and hours as he just stood there in the middle of a battle with his arms in the air trying to telepathically convince every person on Earth to give their lives to power up his energy beam. Fortunately, it did at least win the battle this time. And after that he wished them all back to life because DBZ is awful.
- The fourth and final time Goku used the Spirit Bomb, he had to sacrifice THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.
It should probably go without saying that sacrificing all life on the planet or all life in the universe in order to win a battle is generally not the best way to go. For the hero, anyway. Especially to power a skill with only a 50% success rate.
