This article explores some of the X-Men mutants whose powers are more of a curse than a blessing. From ForgetMeNot's power of unmemorability to Wither's ability to cause rapid decay, these heroes struggle with the consequences of their unique abilities.
Unfortunately, not every mutant or member of the X-Men develops amazing powers. While every mutation comes with drawbacks, some mutants are just dealt a worse hand than others. Vastly altered appearances, incomplete biologies, or powers of mass destruction, these abilities can segregate and isolate mutants even within their own communities. Even worse off are the mutants whose powers destroy themselves.
Posts 3 This cursed power also extends into the psychic and technological realms. No psychic power or A.I., no matter how strong, can detect ForgetMeNot the moment he’s gone from direct sight. On the surface level, ForgetMeNot is an incredibly comedic character, as he is often portrayed hanging around during key historical X-Men moments. However, his power affects every aspect of his life.
8 Wither Debuted in New Mutants #3 by Nunzio DeFilippis, Christina Weir, Keron Grant, Robert Stull, Dan Kemp, and Randy Gentile Kevin Ford’s powers are outright destructive and seemingly villainous in nature. Whenever Kevin touches any organic matter other than himself, the matter rapidly decays until all that is left is dust. For decades Wither’s power was nothing short of a curse.
Posts 1 Even so, in the more intimate moments of life where an X-Man suit isn’t needed, even the simplest or most pleasurable experiences are cut by the excruciating pain of his elevated senses. To make matters worse for Mister Sensitive, his perceptive abilities are relatively comparable to Wolverine's, who doesn’t have to suffer just to smell or hear something well.

His extraordinary mutant ability is that he has three faces. That’s it. With no useful powers, Ugly John has only really been a hindrance in the past for the X-Men, frequently being captured by Sentinels and needing rescue.
