There are some superheroes with powers so bizarre that you would not want to be a fan anymore. Here is a list of a few selected superheroes with names as awesome as their superpowers.

Big Bertha (Marvel)

Big Bertha is a superhero in the Marvel Universe and a member of the motley superhero team "The Great Lakes Avengers". Big Bertha's real name is Ashley Crawford.

But when she needs to fight criminals, she uses her tried and true superpower. She can transform into Big Bertha - a woman who has unbelievable strength and an incredibly obese body. After defeating her enemies, Big Bertha sits on top of them, thus making them immobile and, as you can imagine, miserable. 

Dead Girl (Marvel)

Dead Girl has quite an interesting story. In her normal life, she was an aspiring actress. She could have become successful, if a one-night-stand hadn't killed her. After dying, the process of mutation in her was triggered and she became an immortal zombie. Apart from immortality, other superpowers she possesses are regenerative healing, limb reanimation, air walking, ability to temporarily reanimate others, and to talk with spirits.

Dazzler (Marvel)

Dazzler, whose real name is Alison Blaire, is not only a sparkling disco diva and roller skates, but a beautiful girl who has the ability to turn noise into a light show. For the most part, Dazzler used this ability to develop her singing career. But since she is resistant to almost any type of light and sound, and cannot be killed by conventional methods, Dazzler managed to join the X-Men. Dazzler can create a number of light patterns including stars, circles, triangles and squares. In hand-to-hand combat, Dazzler could temporarily blind her enemy with light, use mist to obscure the surrounding area and create lasers and photon blasts. 

Jazz (Marvel)

Jazz, also known as John Zander, appears to be a very special case in the X-Men universe due to the fact that his genetic mutation is not a power, but rather a change to his physical appearance resulting in his skin turning blue.

Arm-Fall-Off-Boy (DC)

Arm-Fall-Off-Boy or Floyd Belkin is a member of the Legion of Superheroes and is a superhero in the DC Universe.

Brother Power The Geek (DC)

Another strange superhero is Brother Power the Geek and he is a former mannequin who was animated after being struck by lightning. This occurrence also gave him several super abilities, such as durability, pain resistance and superhuman strength. Brother Power basically remained a dummy filled with rags, but became a fighter for world peace. For some reason, Brother Power lived with hippies after turning into a living mannequin and accepted their values, thus becoming a hippie himself. Since he was a hard-core pacifist, he rarely used his super-strength and always tried to settle conflicts without fighting.
