The Red Bee is my personal favorite. He's just a guy who fights crime using trained bees he keeps in his belt. I'm serious.

How about Snowflame, a New Earth DC villain who gains superpowers upon snorting cocaine? Mind you, though, his weakness is his cocaine addiction. Also, his religion is Cocaine worship.
Yes, really.

That's actually an interesting concept, too bad the ham-fisted scare-em-straight approach makes it look like something that appeared on the back page of a DARE brochure in the counselors office....
And then Linkara ran him into the ground.

The worst that comes to mind is a hero who i can't really think of his name but whose default was becoming deaf when he thinks?

I suggest you check out the Snowflame webcomic if you want to see the character brought to his full potiental. (Shame the author stopped doing it.)

This guy just needs a glam rock band to do a theme song for him. He looks awesome. His origin is hilarious.
 
Wheels from Marvel's The Wolfpack. He is described in the book as having "cunning and tactical abilities."

You can probably guess which one he is from his name.

Diversity in the 80s meant blacks, puerto ricans (who would inexplicably always wear headbands) and people in wheel chairs. People in wheel chairs seem to have fallen out of favor in the current diversity push, but thankfully we still have these relics of a bygone era to point and laugh at.
 
Bloodwulf, Rob Liefeld's Lobo ripoff whose gimmick was that he was Lobo, but tougher:

Bloodwulf, Rob Liefeld's Lobo ripoff

Someone once said that the best way to perfectly describe EVERYTHING wrong with early to mid 90's comics to an outsider was to just grab an issue, ANY issue, of Bloodwulf.

I think it was on one of those "Rob Liefeld Can't Draw Feet or Hands" lists.

See, now this can actually be a pretty cool character if written well. He's basically Ant-Man without the size-changing abilities and with bees instead of ants. Redesign him, give him some secondary powers and maybe he'll be decent as a villain or hero. Or you could just make this guy:

I'm on board with Snowflame. Half the heroes and villains seem to get their powers from wantonly disregarding all possible safety measures when doing SCIENCE!!, and it's hard to think of an area where more unregulated chemistry goes on than the drug trade. Hell, I want him to have a whole posse of drug-themed backups. The token woman needs to be Mary Jane or Molly; there can be a needle-pocked equine anthropomorph called Horse; and, for an even worse villain to make the main villains turn anti-hero, Killer Krokodil.

And while they might not be dumb powers, can we have a category for overused powers? The basic flight/superstrength combo has been done to death, as have the little-girl genius and the guy who gets big and strong.

Heh, never though about that! It's just funny that he just has a has a handful bees instead of commanding a huge swarm, like the guy form MSG.
 
Since a couple people brought up Matter-Eater Lad so I'll raise them one Bouncing Boy whose power is obesity and self-inflation. Basically Andrew Dobson if he was a "superhero," except BB was more successful in romance.
