The Boys: 10 WORST Powers

10. Fire Enhancement - Lamplighter

Whenever a group of youngsters go around the table talking about what superpowers they want, there's always that one edgy kid who says they want to shoot fireballs. To be fair, controlling fire would be an incredible gift. But, unfortunately for Lamplighter, he sure does make it look lame.

The problem with Lamplighter's flame enhancement is that it's just that, enhancement. He can't generate anything himself, which means he always needs to rely on carrying a flame around with him. This takes a really cool power and turns it into the human version of a spray can and lighter.

Even The Boys themselves get a good chuckle out of the guy, as when he turns up to meet them in the episode "The Bloody Doors Off", they laugh him out of the room. This is mostly because he looks ridiculous having to lug around a giant lantern staff just to activate his powers.

Plus, to add the cherry to this already disappointing sundae, he is also vulnerable to his own flames. So he can do as much damage to himself as his enemies. Where's the fun in that?
