That's the one I immediately thought about when I read this thread's topic. Pretty useless in a superhero world, but boy, would I love to have his power in real life.



... OK, I'd rather fly in real llife, but you get my point.

to be fair...Cypher's powers are ones that you would want in your war room when the sh!t hits the fan...

from wiki:

Cypher is a mutant who possesses a superhuman intuitive facility for translating languages, spoken or written, human or alien in origin. His superhuman skill is extended to his great facility in deciphering codes and computer languages, and he is also able to read inflection and body language, allowing him to understand the vast subtext of a conversation. His superhuman talent for translating differs from the translating ability that a human who is a genius in this field, yet not a psychic, possesses, even though both people might achieve the same results with any given translation problem. This psychic talent is an intuitive one which works on a subconscious level, and which may in part by related to telepathy or clairvoyance. A non-psychic human, even a genius, would have to work out a translation consciously, step by step. Rather than working the problem out step by step, in his conscious mind, he instead subconsciously solves the problem. Hence, he can reach the correct solution by means that appear to be leaps of logic, and he himself may not be consciously aware of the entire process by which he reaches the right answer.

Since his resurrection by Selene's use of a modified techno-organic virus, Cypher's powers have evolved to the point where can read all aspects of "language." He is able to read his opponents' body language and the patterns of their combat moves in order to counter the attacks of several opponents attacking him at once. By considering the exercise of combat skills to be a form of language, he proved a match for the entire New Mutant team.[21] He is able to "read" architectural structure and integrity in order to ascertain a building's weaknesses.[19] He also appears capable of "speaking" binary; giving verbal commands in machine code that can deactivate electronic devices.

Cypher is an expert in translating and designing computer software. He took university level courses in languages and computer science. He can hack some of the most protected computers.

Bouncing Boy is has to be an odds on favorite for the winner though!

Blob?

[rychehitman]

Aren't Blob's powers related more to density control and the fact that he cannot be moved if he chooses not to be? (Unless by the Hulk on multiple occasions)

[Collection King 13]

Static Shock...

[VaultMan]

The Melter. Cool once upon a time when Iron man could actually BE melted. Now he's just a loser
