It's not uncommon to see a Marvel character having a period of loss of control during a story, and because they don't control their powers they end up suffering a lot from it, and in some cases, threatening their very existence. It seems like the phrase "with great power comes great responsibility" has never made so much sense!

1.Jean Grey (Phoenix)

Jean Gray is often portrayed as the host of the cosmic entity Phoenix. Although her powers are vast and practically omnipotent, she struggles to control the powerful Phoenix force, often resulting in tragedies for those around her.

2.Hulk (Bruce Banner)

Bruce Banner can transform into the incredible Hulk, also known as the Emerald Giant, when he gets angry, but ends up losing control whenever his anger takes over. This lack of control is useful when attacking powerful enemies, as he becomes stronger as he feels anger, but due to the destructive power that accompanies his anger he can attack even nearby allies.

3.Rogue

The mutant Rogue has an incredibly powerful mutation, which leaves her capable of absorbing other people's powers, abilities and memories through physical touch. However, she cannot control this power and can inadvertently harm or even kill those she touches. Therefore, due to the lack of control and fatality of her mutant power, she avoids physical contact with other people to protect them.

4.Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff)

Wanda Maximoff is a classic case of lack of control in comics, and in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), in animations or other adaptations, the character has the ability to manipulate reality and is always portrayed as a too powerful and out-of-control "heroine", having caused a mutant blackout in the world's population in the events of Dynasty M, which borders on insanity.

5.Cyclops (Scott Summers):

Scott Summers has the ability to fire destructive optical blasts from his eyes, but needs special glasses to control his mutant power. Without them, he is unable to control his blasts and prevent himself from hurting others unintentionally.

6.Iceman

7.Wolverine

8.Matthew Malloy

Matthew Malloy is an omega mutant with the power to alter and rewrite reality, much like the mutant Franklin Richards, but he has no control whatsoever over his vast abilities, which forced Professor Xavier to suppress his mutant powers and memories for years to that he would not cause the destruction of the Earth. He was erased from reality shortly after Charles' death.
