Gotta be honest I think that could be an interesting thing to see in the comics but it would have to be written extremely well tought out since it can very easily slip into subtext carrying the (sadly common) ableist notion that everyone with a disability wants to be “””cured””” or “””fixed.””” And I get that some people will be a bit dismissive of that but if there’s one comic series about pushing back against discrimination of any kind it’s X-men.
@shroomer8294 That's a big part of the comics. There are some mutants who would just... rather not be mutants. Just like how in real life there are some people who would get rid of their disability given the opportunity. The problem is the all-or-nothing approach of Magneto and the U.S. government, whereas each individual should be able to decide what they want to do and how they want to be treated, just like in real life.
yeah I think people often forget about the fact mutants are technically just mutated people when we talk about fiction mutants, it's not always sunshine and rainbow when you have mutated dna
@@shroomer8294because a lot of people do. Generally every person that became disabled wants to go back because they did break something. Those born with disabilities can and do accept them as a part of themselves, but this rejection of being seen as broken can turn toxic as well when they in turn try to get people seeking medical help to stop, not because it's what's best for the individual, but because they think it sends the wrong message. There's nothing wrong with accepting who you are, but there's nothing right about it ether. Forcing people to be "normal" is wrong but helping them be better most definitely isn't
Beak is actually a very interesting character, he was literally created to be the poster boy of 'some mutant powers just completely suck' and to not be a frontlines "on the cover using their powers to fight the enemy" mutant. Dude ends up having his closest mentorship with Beast sabotaged by being forced to beat Beast with a bat against his will, he ends up dating a very pretty mutant named Angel (no, not Archangel) when she was forced to go out with him on a dare only to realize he's actually a pretty cool guy. Beak and Angel have the first school pregnancy and are not reprimanded for it by the staff. He goes on to save the world in the Exiles not with his powers but just by being a pretty smart dude who is good at making plans. Plus, eventually the writers 'throw him a bone' and 'cure' him and his wife from their mutations, so he's no longer physically deformed. Then the guy comes back with a flight based tech suit, likely because of how he learned how to fly as Beak (yes, Beak can fly with his wings, but he flies like a literal bird, not the 'hey I have wings so I fly like superman' you often see winged superheroes have).
i find it very disappointing that apart of Beaks arc was him being a unpleasant to look at bird whom actually is somewhat capable even though his look and lack of powers but at the end they felt the need to take them away. I don't get that it makes the point of the story fall flat.
@@micahloops8945 thats the point, hes the ugly kid no one likes but who gets the girl and the happy ending, its a classic trope of "nobody to somebody"
3:05 I searched it up and his power isn't THAT simple...Tag’s powers first manifested while he was at school. He inadvertently caused everyone around to runaway leaving him alone. Tag was a psionic with a very limited form of mind control. Specifically he could mentally control others to either be compelled or repelled by specific things, particularly a person.
@@jonahh2829 Also great for advertising. "One Night Only! Dazzler! In Concert! You Can't NOT Be There!!!" Dazzler: Um, thanks but... Tag: Yeah, I ain't proud about it, either. Record Execs got me by the short hairs.
Glob is more than just invisible skin. You can tell based on how he's depicted (And why his eyes always seem to be floating out his skill). His skin is a special transparent pink wax. It's flammable, but he doesn't seem to feel the pain (Hence his Inhuman Torch joke) and basically super resilient. It's not the most glamorous power, but compared to other mutants whose power is "Make character look weird", he actually has some worthwhile abilities.
Did he really have to call himself the Inhuman Torch? Were there any Inhumans there to react to the joke? When Inhumans exist as another superpowered race in the Marvel Universe that face prejudice, a mutant setting himself on fire and calling himself the "Inhuman Torch" is just plain insensitive. Especially after that Inhumans vs. X-Men war. The Terrigen Mists that power up the Inhumans would kill mutants like him. Now, imagine if the Human Torch himself, Johnny Storm heard that while he was dating Crystal, the princess of the Inhumans. Johnny may like to make fun of Ben's rock form, but I doubt he would take kindly to a mutant making an "Inhuman Torch" joke.
@@kennethcollins4188 Mutants are technically humans with a difference of one gene. It's actually the discrimination of mutants and Magneto's supremacy that gave mutants the "homo superior" label. And the Inhumans are another superhuman group that have their own species name despite being 98% the same as humans in their genomes. So yeah, a mutant calling himself the "Inhuman Torch" is bigoted no matter how you see it. There are "Non-human mutants" which are mutant aliens and mutant animals, so the X-Men are mutant humans.
@@SeanWheeler100 my guy, it’s not a reference to inhuman’s it’s a little self deprecating joke from a guy who’s birth name is glob. I don’t get why you’re white knighting for a fictional group of super humans (and boring ones at that)
It's characters like Ugly John and Jazz that remind us that people don't just hate Mutants because they're dangerous. These guys pose no threat to anybody, and yet people would still want them dead. I get being terrified of someone like Jean Grey or Magneto, but these guys aren't hurting anybody anytime soon. But just like in real life, simply looking different is enough for people to despise you.
And the other facet of that is the implication that the reason groups like the purifiers and other anti-mutant organisations are able to frequently run massive scale genocide campaigns on Mutants is that the sort of powers we see in the X-Men are very much outliers. They're the best of the best. The average mutant is someone like Jubilee, who has a power that makes her a bit more dangerous than a normal person but not inherently more dangerous than some guy with a gun - and a significant number of mutants are just... ordinary people.
You brushed over tag but the power to make people afraid of you or want to chase you isn't super op, but could definitely be augmented with some good training
The worst part about long neck guy is that when his powers were removed he died…if i remember correctly his neck snapped from attempting to turn into a normal neck So not only does he have the worst power he can never get rid of it
It can hardly be categorized as a “mutant power”. This could happen with a real life mutation. It’s like if the guy with the world’s longest dick was brought into the X-Men.
I kind of like these low-level mutants because it helps show that not all mutants are world-ending monsters, but just a guy with a tail. Kind of always wanted a series just based on normal students a Xavier just because college students with powers.
You'd think Xavier would want to have the guy that can literally spawn any flavor of ice cream as an ambassador. I mean, lots of humans are afraid of mutants, people love ice cream, you'd think the implications would be obvious...
The argument for the mutant cure, you have characters like Wolverine and Storm who are virulent against any sort of mutant cure, and then you have the poor SOB who got lobster claws for hands.
Are you talking about Marvel 616 Storm or trash X-men 3 Storm? I suppose 616 Storm is fairly militant in personality these days. I could see her have such a stance
Goldenball (or Egg, which is even worse) is actually quite important right now, since he's one of the Five, the group of mutants who can resurrect people on Krakoa
@MrTaurenshaman Why, mutants were already being resurrected willy-nilly in the comics prior to Krakoa, it's even a joke in later issues with a character commenting how mutant death's were always a revolving door. The Five creates a whole new array of opportunities for X-men comics, bringing back old mutants that died to give them a spotlight, repowering mutants that lost their powers after M-Day, all of that without having to create some convoluted or plot point. The only downside that you can argue is that mutants dying lost their significance, but as I mentioned, that already happened prior to Krakoa, and it also creates some interesting stories using it Like how ethical it is to basically create another person and just implant the previous memories on that corpse, who deserves to get resurrected, some mutants expressing the desire to not be resurrected, etc.
Okay: 1. With the advent of the Krakoa era, some of these mutants got "glow-ups", as they say. Goldballs (Fabio Medina) now goes by Egg, because it turns out his spheres are basically full of totipotent cells. They can take on any genetic information and grow into whatever form those genes dictate. He's a necessary (and deeply revered) part of the Krakoan Ressurection Protocols. His eggs are what create all the bodies that the mutants' mind are reloaded into. Without him, none of them come back from the dead. He's perhaps one of the most adored mutants in the world, at least among other mutants. Since they can be resurrected in new bodies, the exploding kid can actually use his power if he needs to, and come back in a new body, too. 2. I know you know, but Cyclops' beams aren't lasers. They're concussive force and don't produce heat (The Thing actually spots a Skrull impostor masquerading as Cyclops because he gets hit with a beam and feels heat from it -- the Skrull wasn't a Super-Skrull, he just had a blaster built into his visor to let him fake a power, and the blaster fired a bolt of superheated plasma). The part about the eyes letting out energy from another dimension was right, though -- probably the Crimson Cosmos of Cyttorak, since it's red and a source of limitless kinetic energy ("Nothing Can Stop The Juggernaut!"). Side note/fan theory: I like to think there's going to be a plot line at some point where we find out that Cyttorak knows Scott is pulling energy from the Crimson Cosmos, and it turns out that as a side effect, Cyttorak can see through Scott's eyes whenever he feels like it. Consequently, the X-Men have become his favorite soap opera, hence his relatively lenient behavior when, for instance, Colossus shows up trying to get him to remove the power of the Juggernaut from Cain Marko (and later trying to make Cyttorak take the power back from Colossus himself). He points out that, normally, uninvited guests to his realm are crushed into nothingness by the limitless force of the Crimson Cosmos -- but removing "cast members" from his favorite "show" isn't something he wants, so that's one possible reason he decided to cut them some slack.
There's the mutant ForgetMeNot, whose powers are to be completely forgotten the moment the person doesn't have him in line of sight. Therefore, he just exists there in the mansion, not being remembered by anyone, except Professor X, who has a mental reminder every hour, about ForgetMeNot's existence
I think he *forgot* to include him. Eh? Eh? (nudge, nudge) What the hell am I talking about? Fuck. This.....this is embarrassing. I think, I actually can't remember what we're doing.........fuck.
I think you did tag dirty with his power, whenever he tags somebody they become ‘it’ which makes them target of people to either run away from or run towards them (fight or flight is a good way of describing it, but choosing which one happens)
tag's ability is honestly pretty cool and useful for a street level hero. Its shown to have a powerful effect that causes a person to just run toward or away from the tagged person without even knowing why, but they cant stop themselves. He can also choose who and how many people are effected and he could tag someone to run away from themselves causing them to run around aimlessly without no control and no idea why. MUCH better than the others on this list, although maybe golden balls would be better cause getting hit by a big heavy ball launched out of someone is kinda devastating.. and the balls are actually eggs that have the ability to revive dead mutants.. so thats kinda busted.
I'm not sure if I Should bring up Forget-Me-Not, because his power is actually pretty useful, compared to the ones mentioned, but it makes it pretty difficult for him to live like a normal human... Because everyone either literally cannot perceive him, or simply forgets he exists shortly after if they ever do. Also, it would be pretty ironic and funny if you forgot to mention the guy whose power is being forgettable.
I think Skin deserves a little more credit then the others, having elastic skin can be used in practical ways, like being a safety net for his teammates, getting to stretch and land safely down a deep drop, or pull someone up from said drop, or even if applied right cushion himself, or rope up someone.
so true, some mutants don't deserve to be on this list (the guy with blue skin shouldn't even be classified as a mutant since he doesn't have any powers, changes in skin pigmentation are an understood science). The ''lame'' mutants can find creative ways to best utilize their powers in different ways. If a mutation alters the body to a grotesque degree without giving the powers, then said individuals will have a hard time fitting into society. I personally wouldn't care if my powers are useless (I can choose to not use them or use them if they help me in small ways. Not everyone with superpowers will feel a moral obligation to become a superhero or supervillain instead choosing to look out for themselves instead of random strangers they feel no relationship towards). Ice cream man's powers are awesome since he can start his own business, it's not going to help take down Doomsday but at least his not burdened with a body deformity and has good control over his powers.
@@SebastienGendron-uk4poe is a mutant because he was a X gene and not everyone with a X gene was "powers" some just have a unusual skin or longer limbs, what you are saying is a misconception on your part when assimilating being a mutant with having what you define as powers
@@SebastienGendron-uk4po Sentinels doesn't care If your powers are useless and they can detect your genes regardless of your appearance, If you are a mutant, regardless of your mutation, that makes you a target.
if you’re confused on how Tag’s power works (because you’ve never read the comics like me so i had to look this up lmao): - if Tag touches someone, they begin to emit a psionic signal that makes people nearby run toward and pile on top of the person or run away from them. - the effect works at a 100 ft radius from the tagged person. - the people running toward or away from them are fully conscious but don’t know why they feel compelled to do it. - the tagged person isn’t affected by the powers whatsoever.
Tag is actually pretty op, his power essentially forces people to play a literal game of Tag. Imagine you are fighting say random villain group A, if you want to focus on just taking out their leader, he can "tag" him and force every one of the villains to sprint in the opposite direction of their leader leaving him exposed. Or Tag them and force all the villains to dogpile the person as it works both ways to line them up for a big AOE attack. There doesnt seem to be a defese against it, just if you are touched, his ability activates.
From first introduction to the issue he died, I don't think any writer has shown that there were cases of people resisting his tags. Until proven otherwise, this guy can make even Apocalypse flee. I think this would be a useful tool for any mission that has a territory control win-condition. To keep people away from a point of interest. Think Avengers Age of Ultron's final battle.
Tag's actually pretty cool! He can compel anyone he tags into a game of "tag", marking them with a psionic pulse that makes other people run from that person, or toward that person. usually those affected are aware of this, but have no control over it. he can also just make people run from him, and he's used this power to pretty good affect. Glob's power also gave him superhuman strength, durability and speed. like, none of these characters are "lame" they are pretty cool and each have a niche.
0:11 Actually, fun fact, Cyclops doesn’t shoot lazers from his eyes. He shoots force blasts. Although, if you hit something with a force long enough, it can heat up, so that’s why they sometimes melt or burn things. But they’re mainly force blasts.
Cyclops' powers are just way more complicated than they have to be. It could have just been "man with laser eyes" but instead it's "force beams from another dimension".
I believe that Long Neck is not even a mutant but just a guy who happens to look a little bit different. He's treated as one because humans became a little bit paranoid and see any strange person as a Mutant™
@@SmartyPoohBear like imagine some guy just has an extra finger from a rare gene from his great great great (etc) grandfather who was in like a circus or whatever (cause you know back then people with uhhh "special abilities" "worked" at circuses) and its not even from a mutant gene, so he just works for the mutants becuase people just automatically think he is one. (A real life example would be those six toed cats)
Actually, he kinda was proven to be a mutant when his mutant power was removed and he immediately died because his long neck suddenly couldn't hold the weight of his own head and snapped.
I recall a kid referred to as "the Guatemalan crab-boy", a self-hating mutant from around the time Colossus came back to live. He . . . definitely had reason to not be proud of his mutation.
I feel like some of these are curable with a simple surgery. There was an actual case of a kid with a long neck irl who got surgery to shorten his neck after a bit of neck pain. There also was an actual case of a blue dude, actually two I believe. One was someone who ingested to much of a chemical and turned his skin blue, the other was an incest family in rural America. For the skin guy, does he regenerate? if not then snip snip.
so I looked up Tag's wiki an he's actually got a kind of cool thing going on. The wiki says Tag can make people compulsively repulsed by or attracted to certain people or objects. He'd be great simply for keeping civilians away from combat situations by making them run away. Or he could stop someone from running away by making everyone around suddenly want to dogpile them. It's really niche, but it's definitely not a terrible power to have.
Wanna know something cool about Beak? He was part of the Exiles. A team of heroes from different realities that save realities from collapsing. And not only was he a prolific member of the team. He's one of the lucky few that SURVIVED. Because Beak's true power Is that he's really good at making friends.
Long necks ability is dope, you can sit anywhere at a concert and see the stage just fine, trying to see how far up the line you’re standing in goes? Boom long neck saves the day. Want to be a giraffe for Halloween? Long neck can.
I think in another video you also talked about a guy who just annihilates people around him. Dude just woke up for school, seeing nothing but clothes around him until Wolverine comes to end him so that he cannot cause more harm That's not an useless power but I think it would be way fricking worse than just exploding yourself
Tags power can actually be extremally useful He can make everyone in the vicinity run away, or run towards, the person he tagged Like, imagine you are in a combat situation, all you got to do is tag one person and all the enemies are forced to run away. Or you could tag someone, and all the enemies forced to run towards them come out of hiding
Beak actually helped save the Marvel multiverse from a homicidal, psychopathic Hyperion in "The Exiles" series by using his "superpower" of making friends... with two good guy Hyperions. 😅
Okay, v. 3.0: Glob Herman's flesh isn't just translucent, it's also gelatinous, malleable, flammable, and it regenerates. So, he can (as shown) set himself on fire and regrow whatever burns away. He can also (reportedly) control the size and shape of his "third leg" (as it were), which might make him somewhat popular (if he weren't so incredibly socially awkward).
Is it weird that this has become a comfort video for me despite only being out for a few months. Like I turn this on after a rough day and it makes me feel better
As I recall, Glob's skin isn't invisible, his skin is just some kind of insulating wax. He's more durable than the average person thanks to it, so it's not totally useless.
The Wild Cards series from the 90s had the origin of everyone's mutations coming from a single event, and it took mutation seriously, in that the vast, vast majority of them were extremely debilitating or lethal. Quite fun to see these anthologies by a whole host of different authors playing with that. Well, fun and often horrifying.
I believe that when Beak lost his powers due to M-Day he was given a super suit. Skin does play an important role and has been a long-time member of Generation X. Baily, the kid who could only explode once did use his power to take out the main villain in his story arc.
Tag can control minds with his power, either making people attracted or afraid of an object or even himself. If he tags you, as many people as he wants in a 100 metre radius will start chasing you and basically dogpile onto you pretty useful in some cases.
I honestly thought Bailey Hopskins was going to be number 1 as the only thing he has as a mutant trait is self-detonation blowing himself up one time, being the ultimate suicide bomber.
I was always focused on the background kids in the movies. One kid's power was that when he blinked the tv channel changed. Imagine getting kicked out of your home for that
thats not glob power btw hes skin is special a type wax also he has Superhuman Strength, durability and can set himself on fire, Dont mess with the Glob
There were also plenty of them in District X, the Chinatown-esque area of NYC which was majority mutant, like the crime boss who emitted a filthy smell when he was stressed or the guy who started turning into a tree when he fell asleep
It can happen from having way too much silver in your body too. Like if you took it as a supplement (I don't know why people did/do that) and overdosed.
just read tag's power page and he actually has the power to make anyone want to run away or run towards a person by tagging them he can also do this with himself, imagine trying to run a team when a dude gives you a tap and suddenly your entire squad is running away from you or dog pilling you
Would be good to see what mutants you think have the absolute best powers. Still keep hoping for you to start some videos on 2000ad. So many great characters and stories that I'm sure would appeal to the darker side of comic fans. Deadlock from ABC warriors alone is worth a look. His use of the white flag as a method to decapitate a target is one of my all time favourite moments from comics.
Tbh, I like the idea of lame mutation. Considering how random mutation can be, there should be many with low mutation level (even with same mutation like Telekinesis) and probably the mutation doesn't affect everyday life. It really add some world building.
one of the terrible mutation is the one of Forgetmenot, who spend all of the adventure of the X-men with them but that no one remember, except Professor X who gave himself a mental reminder everyday of his existence.
the ice cream power actually goes pretty crazy... what if he could turn into ice cream just as something hits him? of course he'll be vaporised by a big-enough blast but still not that lame. could he maybe regenerate from a very small remnant of ice cream?
@@terriblecompany1588 I’d have to see it tested first xD otherwise I’d just link it to the equivalent of eating someone else’s toenails after they clipped 🤮
Heck, if I'm not mistaken, it's actually a real thing that can happen, probably with more medical issues given it is probably cause by something not so great, but still
True but also he’s blue. Like if you know him personally that’s no big deal but the people who don’t would go “is that guy fucking blue?” Everywhere he goes.
@@danielcesar664 well that may be one, but, there was a family somewhere who are all blue from some blood disorder that gets passed down, they're banned the fugates if ur interested
It's hilarious to me how many of these are from the New X-men series. I recently read the entire series (started my foray into comics earlier this year) and it honestly put me off x-men. I am looking forward to some of the side stories (X-Force/Factor), but the mainline was so tonally weird - it both tried to present more realistic and simpler mutants in their strife to find a place in the world, and still went with some extremely grandiose, over the top storylines, which fall apart a couple of issues later. Reading forums online, it seems to be consistent with how X-men tends to be, always trying for the big stuff, even if it would be better served focusing on a more capepunk themes. I'll give Ultimate X-men a shot at some point, maybe the alternative line will be more satisfying.
I just want to know how Bailey even found out that he COULD blow up. It’s not like he could really test it out, and if he used it immediately upon activation, then he would’ve died right there.
@entity107 yeah, I remember it coming up during the first run of Runaways. Molly's parents had her tested for the X-gene, but apparently got a false negative.
I love beak in the comics, not because of him he’s cool but ultimately functions just as a plot driving device at times. No what I love is the alternate future where apparently his descendent are pretty strong and Beak himself has been venerated in death as a revolutionary and rebel. Badass.

Johnny may like to make fun of Ben's rock form, but I doubt he would take kindly to a mutant making an "Inhuman Torch" joke.
@@SeanWheeler100 he's calling himself the inhuman torch because he's not human not because he's racist. you're looking to far into this
@@kennethcollins4188 Mutants are technically humans with a difference of one gene. It's actually the discrimination of mutants and Magneto's supremacy that gave mutants the "homo superior" label. And the Inhumans are another superhuman group that have their own species name despite being 98% the same as humans in their genomes. So yeah, a mutant calling himself the "Inhuman Torch" is bigoted no matter how you see it. There are "Non-human mutants" which are mutant aliens and mutant animals, so the X-Men are mutant humans.
@@SeanWheeler100 my guy, it’s not a reference to inhuman’s it’s a little self deprecating joke from a guy who’s birth name is glob. I don’t get why you’re white knighting for a fictional group of super humans (and boring ones at that)
@@SeanWheeler100#cancelglobherman
It's characters like Ugly John and Jazz that remind us that people don't just hate Mutants because they're dangerous. These guys pose no threat to anybody, and yet people would still want them dead. I get being terrified of someone like Jean Grey or Magneto, but these guys aren't hurting anybody anytime soon. But just like in real life, simply looking different is enough for people to despise you.
They technically have powers! They just look weird!
nah Long Neck deserves to die i don't care
What strikes me about Jazz is that there are a few people who (in separate incidents) dyed their skin blue when consuming colloidal silver.
@@douglasbabb1725 I call it Smurfification.
And the other facet of that is the implication that the reason groups like the purifiers and other anti-mutant organisations are able to frequently run massive scale genocide campaigns on Mutants is that the sort of powers we see in the X-Men are very much outliers. They're the best of the best. The average mutant is someone like Jubilee, who has a power that makes her a bit more dangerous than a normal person but not inherently more dangerous than some guy with a gun - and a significant number of mutants are just... ordinary people.

You brushed over tag but the power to make people afraid of you or want to chase you isn't super op, but could definitely be augmented with some good training

@@SEXCOPTER_RUL David Mills!
Aren't there those African women who put rings on their necks to elongate them? They can't take those off either.
It can hardly be categorized as a “mutant power”. This could happen with a real life mutation. It’s like if the guy with the world’s longest dick was brought into the X-Men.
I kind of like these low-level mutants because it helps show that not all mutants are world-ending monsters, but just a guy with a tail. Kind of always wanted a series just based on normal students a Xavier just because college students with powers.

Also Glob Herman could definitely make a living as an anatomical demonstration
glob would be great in a med school honestly. Probably would make some decent money too. Though Idk if he'd appreciate being looked at all day.
i mean glob'd probably appeciate it as he's all around a good guy
The argument for the mutant cure, you have characters like Wolverine and Storm who are virulent against any sort of mutant cure, and then you have the poor SOB who got lobster claws for hands.
Are you talking about Marvel 616 Storm or trash X-men 3 Storm? I suppose 616 Storm is fairly militant in personality these days. I could see her have such a stance
Goldenball (or Egg, which is even worse) is actually quite important right now, since he's one of the Five, the group of mutants who can resurrect people on Krakoa
Which is a stupid plot in the X-men history that needs to be erased
Why is Egg even worse
@MrTaurenshaman Why, mutants were already being resurrected willy-nilly in the comics prior to Krakoa, it's even a joke in later issues with a character commenting how mutant death's were always a revolving door.
The Five creates a whole new array of opportunities for X-men comics, bringing back old mutants that died to give them a spotlight, repowering mutants that lost their powers after M-Day, all of that without having to create some convoluted or plot point.
The only downside that you can argue is that mutants dying lost their significance, but as I mentioned, that already happened prior to Krakoa, and it also creates some interesting stories using it
Like how ethical it is to basically create another person and just implant the previous memories on that corpse, who deserves to get resurrected, some mutants expressing the desire to not be resurrected, etc.
@@alysondavy2485 you just went over every aspect for why the plot sucks and is just a pretentious mess of a story
@MrTaurenshaman I don't see how, can you elaborate on that?
Okay:
1. With the advent of the Krakoa era, some of these mutants got "glow-ups", as they say. Goldballs (Fabio Medina) now goes by Egg, because it turns out his spheres are basically full of totipotent cells. They can take on any genetic information and grow into whatever form those genes dictate. He's a necessary (and deeply revered) part of the Krakoan Ressurection Protocols. His eggs are what create all the bodies that the mutants' mind are reloaded into. Without him, none of them come back from the dead. He's perhaps one of the most adored mutants in the world, at least among other mutants. Since they can be resurrected in new bodies, the exploding kid can actually use his power if he needs to, and come back in a new body, too.
2. I know you know, but Cyclops' beams aren't lasers. They're concussive force and don't produce heat (The Thing actually spots a Skrull impostor masquerading as Cyclops because he gets hit with a beam and feels heat from it -- the Skrull wasn't a Super-Skrull, he just had a blaster built into his visor to let him fake a power, and the blaster fired a bolt of superheated plasma). The part about the eyes letting out energy from another dimension was right, though -- probably the Crimson Cosmos of Cyttorak, since it's red and a source of limitless kinetic energy ("Nothing Can Stop The Juggernaut!").
Side note/fan theory: I like to think there's going to be a plot line at some point where we find out that Cyttorak knows Scott is pulling energy from the Crimson Cosmos, and it turns out that as a side effect, Cyttorak can see through Scott's eyes whenever he feels like it. Consequently, the X-Men have become his favorite soap opera, hence his relatively lenient behavior when, for instance, Colossus shows up trying to get him to remove the power of the Juggernaut from Cain Marko (and later trying to make Cyttorak take the power back from Colossus himself). He points out that, normally, uninvited guests to his realm are crushed into nothingness by the limitless force of the Crimson Cosmos -- but removing "cast members" from his favorite "show" isn't something he wants, so that's one possible reason he decided to cut them some slack.
There's the mutant ForgetMeNot, whose powers are to be completely forgotten the moment the person doesn't have him in line of sight. Therefore, he just exists there in the mansion, not being remembered by anyone, except Professor X, who has a mental reminder every hour, about ForgetMeNot's existence
So he's like a Silence from Doctor Who?
I think he *forgot* to include him. Eh? Eh? (nudge, nudge)
What the hell am I talking about? Fuck. This.....this is embarrassing. I think, I actually can't remember what we're doing.........fuck.
Who?
i love how mutant powers range from having an extra limb or two to literally being an all-powerful omnipotent being
Well same goes for mha quirk
I think you did tag dirty with his power, whenever he tags somebody they become ‘it’ which makes them target of people to either run away from or run towards them (fight or flight is a good way of describing it, but choosing which one happens)
tag's ability is honestly pretty cool and useful for a street level hero. Its shown to have a powerful effect that causes a person to just run toward or away from the tagged person without even knowing why, but they cant stop themselves. He can also choose who and how many people are effected and he could tag someone to run away from themselves causing them to run around aimlessly without no control and no idea why. MUCH better than the others on this list, although maybe golden balls would be better cause getting hit by a big heavy ball launched out of someone is kinda devastating.. and the balls are actually eggs that have the ability to revive dead mutants.. so thats kinda busted.
Honestly.... I can totally see Apocalypse adding him to the Horseman roster
The Ice Cream guy has the best abilities on the list lets be real.
Tag would be a pretty good anti-rioting policeman. crowd dispersal would be less violent
At least long neck wasn't as bad as jeannie martin, who had a 40 inch neck that snapped under the weight of her head when she lost her mutant powers.
I'm not sure if I Should bring up Forget-Me-Not, because his power is actually pretty useful, compared to the ones mentioned, but it makes it pretty difficult for him to live like a normal human... Because everyone either literally cannot perceive him, or simply forgets he exists shortly after if they ever do.
Also, it would be pretty ironic and funny if you forgot to mention the guy whose power is being forgettable.
That reminds me of a character in a manga called Medaka Box. His power was called Unsung Hero, and it made people forget about him.
Professor X remembers him, but only because he telepathically gimmicked his brain to remind him that the poor bugger exists.
Damn, he's basically the Joe Schmo SCP?
Oh remember him, he uhh... uhh... Who was I talking about again?
He so overpowerd with his power even the reall word dont remember him ........who i talking again ???
I think Skin deserves a little more credit then the others, having elastic skin can be used in practical ways, like being a safety net for his teammates, getting to stretch and land safely down a deep drop, or pull someone up from said drop, or even if applied right cushion himself, or rope up someone.
so true, some mutants don't deserve to be on this list (the guy with blue skin shouldn't even be classified as a mutant since he doesn't have any powers, changes in skin pigmentation are an understood science). The ''lame'' mutants can find creative ways to best utilize their powers in different ways. If a mutation alters the body to a grotesque degree without giving the powers, then said individuals will have a hard time fitting into society. I personally wouldn't care if my powers are useless (I can choose to not use them or use them if they help me in small ways. Not everyone with superpowers will feel a moral obligation to become a superhero or supervillain instead choosing to look out for themselves instead of random strangers they feel no relationship towards). Ice cream man's powers are awesome since he can start his own business, it's not going to help take down Doomsday but at least his not burdened with a body deformity and has good control over his powers.
@@SebastienGendron-uk4poe is a mutant because he was a X gene and not everyone with a X gene was "powers" some just have a unusual skin or longer limbs, what you are saying is a misconception on your part when assimilating being a mutant with having what you define as powers

He could stretch himself into one of those flying squirrel suits to glide off tall buildings.
Or slingshot himself like Spider-Man does with his webs. Combined with the squirrel thing, that dude can basically fly.
if you’re confused on how Tag’s power works (because you’ve never read the comics like me so i had to look this up lmao):
- if Tag touches someone, they begin to emit a psionic signal that makes people nearby run toward and pile on top of the person or run away from them.
- the effect works at a 100 ft radius from the tagged person.
- the people running toward or away from them are fully conscious but don’t know why they feel compelled to do it.
- the tagged person isn’t affected by the powers whatsoever.
Could actually be really useful
Tag is actually pretty op, his power essentially forces people to play a literal game of Tag. Imagine you are fighting say random villain group A, if you want to focus on just taking out their leader, he can "tag" him and force every one of the villains to sprint in the opposite direction of their leader leaving him exposed. Or Tag them and force all the villains to dogpile the person as it works both ways to line them up for a big AOE attack. There doesnt seem to be a defese against it, just if you are touched, his ability activates.
From first introduction to the issue he died, I don't think any writer has shown that there were cases of people resisting his tags. Until proven otherwise, this guy can make even Apocalypse flee. I think this would be a useful tool for any mission that has a territory control win-condition. To keep people away from a point of interest. Think Avengers Age of Ultron's final battle.
Tag's actually pretty cool! He can compel anyone he tags into a game of "tag", marking them with a psionic pulse that makes other people run from that person, or toward that person. usually those affected are aware of this, but have no control over it. he can also just make people run from him, and he's used this power to pretty good affect. Glob's power also gave him superhuman strength, durability and speed. like, none of these characters are "lame" they are pretty cool and each have a niche.
Idk, Jazz seems pretty lame. Even his wiki acknowledges that he's only got blue skin and has mediocre rapping skills.

Actually, fun fact, Cyclops doesn’t shoot lazers from his eyes. He shoots force blasts. Although, if you hit something with a force long enough, it can heat up, so that’s why they sometimes melt or burn things.
But they’re mainly force blasts.
Cyclops' powers are just way more complicated than they have to be. It could have just been "man with laser eyes" but instead it's "force beams from another dimension".
Beak actually saved the multiverse in the Exiles series, khm. It had been foretold he'd do it. Turned out his most important power is making friends.
I believe that Long Neck is not even a mutant but just a guy who happens to look a little bit different. He's treated as one because humans became a little bit paranoid and see any strange person as a Mutant™
Blue skin one is also just a real life condition, one man had a skin with a dark blue color.
@@toobig7399 if I recall, because he drank too much colloidal silver
I guess it just depends if it's specifically caused by the mutant gene or not?
@@SmartyPoohBear like imagine some guy just has an extra finger from a rare gene from his great great great (etc) grandfather who was in like a circus or whatever (cause you know back then people with uhhh "special abilities" "worked" at circuses) and its not even from a mutant gene, so he just works for the mutants becuase people just automatically think he is one.
(A real life example would be those six toed cats)
Actually, he kinda was proven to be a mutant when his mutant power was removed and he immediately died because his long neck suddenly couldn't hold the weight of his own head and snapped.
I recall a kid referred to as "the Guatemalan crab-boy", a self-hating mutant from around the time Colossus came back to live. He . . . definitely had reason to not be proud of his mutation.
If I were long neck I’d at-least go for a world record: “most necklaces worn”
“You can turn yourself into ice cream? What a lameass superpower!”
“I’ve already filled your lungs with [ICED-CREAM]!”
I never knew shaggy was a mutant 😂
I feel like some of these are curable with a simple surgery. There was an actual case of a kid with a long neck irl who got surgery to shorten his neck after a bit of neck pain.
There also was an actual case of a blue dude, actually two I believe. One was someone who ingested to much of a chemical and turned his skin blue, the other was an incest family in rural America.
For the skin guy, does he regenerate? if not then snip snip.
I'm pretty sure its chemicals that contain silver that turn your skin blue
so I looked up Tag's wiki an he's actually got a kind of cool thing going on. The wiki says Tag can make people compulsively repulsed by or attracted to certain people or objects. He'd be great simply for keeping civilians away from combat situations by making them run away. Or he could stop someone from running away by making everyone around suddenly want to dogpile them. It's really niche, but it's definitely not a terrible power to have.
Wanna know something cool about Beak?
He was part of the Exiles. A team of heroes from different realities that save realities from collapsing.
And not only was he a prolific member of the team. He's one of the lucky few that SURVIVED.
Because Beak's true power Is that he's really good at making friends.

Tags power can actually be extremally useful
He can make everyone in the vicinity run away, or run towards, the person he tagged
Like, imagine you are in a combat situation, all you got to do is tag one person and all the enemies are forced to run away. Or you could tag someone, and all the enemies forced to run towards them come out of hiding

Beak actually helped save the Marvel multiverse from a homicidal, psychopathic Hyperion in "The Exiles" series by using his "superpower" of making friends... with two good guy Hyperions. 😅
Okay, v. 3.0:
Glob Herman's flesh isn't just translucent, it's also gelatinous, malleable, flammable, and it regenerates. So, he can (as shown) set himself on fire and regrow whatever burns away. He can also (reportedly) control the size and shape of his "third leg" (as it were), which might make him somewhat popular (if he weren't so incredibly socially awkward).
Imagine running a mutants and mastermind campaign where everyone starts out as one of these guys and they have to figure out how to beat superman.
Is it weird that this has become a comfort video for me despite only being out for a few months. Like I turn this on after a rough day and it makes me feel better
As I recall, Glob's skin isn't invisible, his skin is just some kind of insulating wax. He's more durable than the average person thanks to it, so it's not totally useless.
Ice-Man could turn into any flavoried ice cream with 100% pure ingredients? That's a hugely powerful ability, can he pee ice cream?
There’s another mutant that poops ice cream. I think she’s called soft service.
The Wild Cards series from the 90s had the origin of everyone's mutations coming from a single event, and it took mutation seriously, in that the vast, vast majority of them were extremely debilitating or lethal. Quite fun to see these anthologies by a whole host of different authors playing with that. Well, fun and often horrifying.
Thanks man, 😅😅😅, i always enjoy your videos, but this one Make my day
Zeitgeist is a really deep name to give a guy who... vomits. Not even vomiting time juice or anything.
Ahah so true!
I believe that when Beak lost his powers due to M-Day he was given a super suit. Skin does play an important role and has been a long-time member of Generation X. Baily, the kid who could only explode once did use his power to take out the main villain in his story arc.
Tag can control minds with his power, either making people attracted or afraid of an object or even himself. If he tags you, as many people as he wants in a 100 metre radius will start chasing you and basically dogpile onto you pretty useful in some cases.

You know interesting thing about jazz just having blue skin, there cases of people in real life having blue skin due to a genetic trait.
It can happen from having way too much silver in your body too. Like if you took it as a supplement (I don't know why people did/do that) and overdosed.
just read tag's power page and he actually has the power to make anyone want to run away or run towards a person by tagging them he can also do this with himself, imagine trying to run a team when a dude gives you a tap and suddenly your entire squad is running away from you or dog pilling you
My man butterball seems like he has a cool power but being a fat kid makes it useless
Long neck can actually stretch his neck to lengths of around 6-7ft in length. Which funnily enough is even lamer than just having a long neck
love the video and will like a part 2

It's hilarious to me how many of these are from the New X-men series. I recently read the entire series (started my foray into comics earlier this year) and it honestly put me off x-men. I am looking forward to some of the side stories (X-Force/Factor), but the mainline was so tonally weird - it both tried to present more realistic and simpler mutants in their strife to find a place in the world, and still went with some extremely grandiose, over the top storylines, which fall apart a couple of issues later. Reading forums online, it seems to be consistent with how X-men tends to be, always trying for the big stuff, even if it would be better served focusing on a more capepunk themes. I'll give Ultimate X-men a shot at some point, maybe the alternative line will be more satisfying.
