10 Worst Superpowers Of The 21st Century

3. Mouse

Introduced as part of DC's short-lived The Movement, Mouse had the amazing ability to communicate with, control, and behave like, any rodent in his immediate vicinity. The self-proclaimed 'Prince of Rats' was clearly intended as comic relief for an otherwise grim and gritty series, delivery snappy one-liners has he burst through walls at the head of tidal waves of vermin. 

But Mouse became truly disturbing in issue 2, with the death of his favourite rat. He responded to the animal’s passing by first mourning, and then eating, it. Far from being entertained, most readers just found Mouse creepy.

The Movement only lasted for twelve issues, and one crossover with Bat Girl, before its cancellation, and Mouse hasn't been seen since. However, the urban lore that you're never more than six feet from a rat in any given city means that there's no telling where - or when - he could turn up again.

With a (nearly) useless degree in English literature and a personal trainer qualification he's never used, Freddie spends his times writing things that he hopes will somehow pay the rent. He's also a former professional singer, and plays the saxophone and ukulele. He's not really used to talking about himself in the third person, and would like to stop now, thanks.
