Where no GL has gone before
I've been reading silver age Green Lantern issues lately and a thought occurred to me. Whether, by design or just coincidence (on the part of Star Trek writers) James Kirk is really similar in design to Hal Jordan. Mostly likely this is just because in the late fifties early sixties this archetype was what writers thought was what a man was supposed to be. Like Kirk Hal had a long string of romantic partners during that time, they both were men of action who depended on aliens (Spock the guardians) to step in when they were acting to emotional. In fact couldn't you see William Shatner circa 1964 playing the perfect Emerald Gladiator in a movie of TV show. I think back then Shatner would have made the perfect Hal Jordan.

By the power of Grabthar's Hammer
I though it woulld be fun today to make a list of the superheroes with the most useful powers. Just so everyone understands when I say useful I don't mean fighting skills or any of that I mean useful in normal everyday life. So, with that little pre-amble: Away we go.
Jamie Madrox (Multiple Man) - Jamie has what I think would be the most useful power in the world he can create duplicates of himself through kinetic energy. Using his powers you'd finally has time to get everything done.
Bobby Drake (Iceman) - This one would be great for parties or hot days or whatever. Bobby has the ability to create ice from the moisture in the air. This guy would be awesome to have around on margerita night.
Doug Ramsey (Cypher) - He can instantly understand any new language he hears. This power would be like 8 shades of awesome to have.
Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler) - He can teleport through dimensions in order to go from one place to another. Using this power he can travel miles in a matter of seconds (he also gets bonus points for having a prehensile tail).
Peter Parker (Spiderman) - He can climb walls and stick to the ceiling and of course, his most useful power for everyday living has got to be his Spidey sense.
Kitty Pryde - She can walk through walls. Do I need to add anythign else?
James Howlett?/Logan (Wolverine) - His actual pwer would be pretty damn useful. Being able to regenerate any damaged body tissue, if for no other reason you could drink and smoke all you want and not have to worry about damaging your liver or lungs.
Hal Jordan/ John Stewart/ Guy Gardner/ Kyle Rayner (Green Lantern) - Having a Green Lantern power ring would make life so easy, that I have no clue why at least one of these guys is not 800 pounds. The ring can project any thing you can imagine and it can make you fly.
Any of the many telepaths in any comic - the ability to know what anyone is thinking, this would be such a handy power.
Warren Worthington III (Angel/Archangel) - The guy has freakin' bird wings!
and an honorible mention goes out to Jubilee her pwers wouldn't be very useful in the real world (much like in the Marvel Universe,lol) but, she would definitely be someone who would make any party kick ass.
Well, there you go the most useful super powers in comics. Agree/ Disagree???
