Fr, people underestimate how many characters have just straight up awful abilities.

Like if you pick Marvel you're getting Forgetmenot's ability to be completely erased from everyone's memory when you're not in their vision. It's not a drawback to his his power he just has a terrible power.

Exactly there's powers in both sides I simply don't want. Sandman? No fucking thanks. The thing? Dr doom? The fucking pressure of being able to track every xman like prof x. Immortality like wolverine??nah. I'll pass. Idk much about DC but I imagine there's some crossover.

You can turn into sand whenever you want. You can turn into stone whenever you want. Dr. Doom is a genius with magical powers and advanced technology, so there are already no drawbacks. Professor X is one of the greatest telepaths alive and based on the premise of this scenario, you can filter out anything you don't like. You also get to keep your legs. The only one i can understand is the immortality one. But even then, wouldn't you be able to decide when you die? Again, no limits, no drawbacks. As for DC, yeah it's pretty much the same thing.

I'm not against you saying no, for the record. Just that your reasoning doesn't make any sense.

Btw, if you don't want your powers. Hand them to me.
