 In your opinion, what super abilities don't live up to the hype?

I dont know if its overrated exactly but I am sick of seeing people with telepathy there are so many people with that power its just annoying. I dont know if its overrated but its definitely overrused.

What about "time travel"?

I gotta agree with healing powers. Everyone's starting to have that. Beast because he's kinda animal like he heals faster? Animals heal faster than humans? Laaame. Plus remember when Wolverine used to be overwhelmed and rendered unconscious....yeah that doesn't seem to happen any more.

Super strength, since it of all super powers seems to fluctuate in overall strength most often.

Immortality. It seems for the most part characters are just made immortal so their deaths can be more impactful and significant.

Having "peak human attributes"(which enables them to otherwise hang with superpowers and meta-humans).

My vote is time travel for there is always some lame reason why it never works. Case in point Thor coming back in time changing the past yet King Thor in the future never changes. I like the idea of him coming back but at least come back and save Odin , come back and show the change in the future. Rally allies like the Avengers or save other gods and get them on your side. Yet none of those things seemed to take place.

Time travel in comics has always been a huge let down , Trunks in Dbz did pretty good and you got to see him in two forms , young trunks whom must have been from another dimension and Older trunks. I liked how he stated and almost became another person.

Marvel showed this one time I believe when Ben went back and tried to get himself to not become the Thing.

He changed the past but when he got back it was not his past.

However time travel as in matter of moments has been done allot and Superman as well as the flash could pull that off easy. To move so fast perception and reality combine thus somebody that has been shot in time look only appears to have died and superman or the flash simply adjust his speed goes back the mere moments and changes the outcome and nobody died and the day has been saved. Perception verses reality.

Super strength, I always wonder why, whenever they fight telekinetics, the telekinetic doesn't just levitate them a few inches or so and boom, the strong guy has no leverage.
