James Cameron would probably hunt you down and torture you until you revealed the space coordinates to Pandora.

Last I checked, James Cameron isn't an insane fanperson for his own works.

Spleen (Mystery Men) - His power is Superpowered Flatulence. Nuff said.
Scuzz (DP7) - his body constantly secretes a highly corrosive acid & it is also present in all of his bodily fluids. He is unable to shut this power off.
He can never touch someone without horribly burning them.
Elle (Heroes) - Every time she comes in contact with water she gets electrocuted, including when she takes a shower.
Resurrection Man - he has to die in order to get a random power when he revives, this power might be powerful & useful or minor & useless.
Super Fuzz - basically has powers similar to Superman, but loses all his powers every time he sees the color Red. A weakness a few criminals find out he has.
Ma-Ti (Captain Planet) - The power of heart is supposed to instill caring, passion, and sympathy into the people of the world to care for the planet. I dont think Ive seen an episode where that actually worked.

Just sayin'
Very few powers are ones that I wouldn't want or be able to use to my advantage in some way...so really the only power i wouldn't want are those i couldn't control in some way or would harm me upon their first usage... like that one x-man power who had some sort of power that came out of his mouth and it blew his mouth away upon it's first usage,
if Mr. Fantastic had the creativity of say...a certain strawhat pirate, he could be more interesting :3
The Human Bomb, oddly enough the only character I've purposely made an homage of, despite having only read about the character for a few pages in Infinite Crisis before his death.
You touch something, it explodes. It's like a more entertaining, if somewhat more horrific, spin on the Midas Touch.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!
@Starflier
wonder if Kimbley from Fullmetal Alchemist was based off of him...since his powers were similar, he could turn anything into a bomb.
Hmm...if you get Sentry's power, would you also get his weakness? If so...I would put that as a guarantee to not want
Immortality. I'd rather embrace oblivion then being the last thing standing after all life as we know it dies out.
Way to many alts.

Plastic Man is, and he's damn creative (but he no longer has any internal structure to speak of, so no Gear Second).

Yeah, I'ma gonna go with that one. Immortality combined with being impervious to all harm might mitigate it a bit, but in the long run what a drag. In the end I think an immortal would be the epitome of d-baggery. |

I could see some conversations going like this;
"Yeah I ruled the world as a benevolent god, I got bored then become the anti-christ personified, then decided to drift into obscurity, being a god of any sort is highly over-rated"
"Sex, yeah name it, I've done it all - what the hell did I care, anything somebody described as abberant behavior was forgotten about in 25 years or so. Besides its all boring to me know so just sell me the damn baby oil"
"I lost all faith in humanity when the bastards tried to harvest all my flesh in an effort to find out what made me immortal"
"Yeah, I've only had to live through about 5,647 of the most important people in my life dieing and for some reason you think being number 5,648 makes you special - whatever I'm taking a shower and hitting the road".
"So what, the stupid brat ran out in front of me and I couldn't stop in time... Sure I dont give a damn if I was drunk or not, send me to jail. Last time I went through a bus of nuns and my ride blew up killing them all. Spent five consecutive life sentences in jail and when I got out nobody remembered what I went in for".
"Yeah whatever, I've seen humanity decimate itself probably ten times over, you jerks bomb yourself back to the stone age every god-damned time, then build up your stupid society and argue over the same stupid crap only to bomb yourself back into the stone age again".
"Oh... so you want me to use my super science to restart the sun? Go to hell you bunch of slack-jawed troglodytes, let the damn sun blow up. I'm frigg'n tired of the lot of you anyway".
"Apathy? Helluva lot better than empathy"!

Not counting his super strength, heightened agility, and the fact that he has occasionally utilized mankind's descent from sea life to short out people's brains temporarily, plus he's got access to an entire army and highly advanced technology as King of Atlantis. Oh, and when the guy controls 70% of the Earth's surface, you don't get to criticize. Refer to the time he faced what was more or less C'thulhu and won. How? He summoned every creature in the entire ocean on it.|

In other news, Ma-Ti once elbowed Hitler, and it is widely acknowledged that the only thing keeping him from using his ring for outright mind control is his own human decency.
