Marvel Comics Characters With Disgusting Powers:
Generally, when we talk about superpowers, we envision a superhero flying in the air or lifting a tank. We seldom associate superhero powers with gnarly stuff like vomiting. We mean, who would even dare to come up with a superhero character that can, say peel of its own skin or regurgitate massive amounts of acidic puke? But trust us folks the comic books are a very strange place. They are filled with so many fictional monstrosities it will make your stomach churn like a cement roller. And Marvel Comics is a pioneer in making its own fans look the other way and throw up.
1. Deadpool
2. Venom
3. Starfox
Although it is not as visually disgusting as it may sound, Starfox’s ability to induce emotions using pheromone secretion is a very ghastly method of manipulating people. He can eject pheromones out of his body that can make any man or woman be attracted to him and do as he pleases. And this ability is the reason Starfox, the brother of Thanos, once got into legal trouble after all the previous victims of his powers claimed that they were sexually assaulted by Starfox who used his ability to manipulate their emotions to seduce them. Starfox has tried to use this ability on the Hulk once but it did not go as planned. Pheromone secretion might sound like a dream come true super power for many people but it is the bane of all women around the world. No woman should be subject to such measures where she has to act against her own will.
4. Anarchist
5. Tar Baby
6. Maggot
How would you react if we say that there are literally two alien looking bugs living inside you? What would you say that the condition is permanent and killing those two bugs will result in your death so you have to live with them wriggling inside your body forever? That is the fate of Maggot. The name itself is detestable. Maggot’s ability is even more. The guy does not have a digesting system. Instead, he has a sentient duo of slugs that live inside him and digest stuff for him. Maggot once went nearly mad as the slugs had to come out and burrow into his body five times every day. The sentient slugs can devour literally anything they come into contact with.
7. Worm
If you thought sweat was bad, we give you a guy that uses his own mucus to subdue enemies. Worm is a survivor in the Savage Land and is a human mutate. When the X-Men first come into contact with Worm, they encounter a lizard like human being that has huge pores on the palm of his hands. These pores secrete mucus like fluid that he uses to cover his enemies entirely. Once he does that, he can control the person and make his do his bidding. For his mind control function to happen properly, Worm must ensure the target is covered in his mucus all the time. Yuck!!
8. Zeitgeist
We encountered this guy in a live action movie. Zeitgeist is the guy who was the part of Deadpool’s mutant extraction team in Deadpool 2. Remember the guy with his face covered? Yeah that’s him. Zeitgeist’s power is vomiting acid out of his mouth. That’s it. He has no other special power except throw up corrosive fluid. It is like the creators were running out of bodily fluids to make superpowers out of. Zeitgeist once tried to make out with a woman and the result was he accidentally acid-vomited on her, dissolving her face and internal organs.
9. Humbug
Buchanan Mitty was a brilliant student who was studying entomology – the science of insects, in the Empire State University., His love for bugs was so strong that he was puzzled why the rest of the folks did not respect insects the way he did. To make people respect these gnarly creatures. Humbug decided to go the evil route and created a suit of armour that also allowed him to communicate with and control any bug using a special sonic trigger mechanism. The suit also gave him superhuman strength, speed and durability but the ickiest part was him controlling all the bugs in the area and make them do what he wants. That is just nasty. Thank goodness he was killed by the Brood before he could do too much damage to our fragile psyches.
