The Boys: 10 WORST Powers

If there's one superpower that seems the most useful, it has to be teleportation. Everyone has dreamt of getting to the fridge or across the country in the blink of an eye, and Hughie was lucky enough to get a taste of that. The thing is, it came at a cost.

Okay, look, teleportation is a banging power; that much is for sure. Characters like Nightcrawler or Blink from Marvel's X-Men make that very clear. But it's no good if you end up naked every single time you use it, which is exactly what happens to Hughie.

After taking Temp-V, he gains the ability to move faster than even A-Train, but seeing as his clothes don't go with him, he's at a massive disadvantage. If you're in a fight, then losing your kit can make you instantly vulnerable. Likewise, if you're trying to be stealthy, you'll lose right away as everyone's going to notice the naked guy.

This drawback takes the ability from a 10/10 to a 2/10, as it's entirely impractical. If anything, it's more of a curse than a gift.
