Why special 3 damage is so lame for some champ ?

I have seen that my many 4 star rank 4 champ's special 3 damage is so lame like 3k to 4k .
It's pretty disappointing .
While sp2 damage is like 5k to 6k.
Sp3 should deal more damage .

Lol, that's not a valid explanation
just tap it and ta-da
all champs must have crappy sp3s if you ask me
But some champs do have exceptional damage in sp3 like domino Hyperion with furies etc
A few SP3s are very effective (Hyperion, Magik and Thor spring to mind) whilst others are seriously underpowered (Joe Fixit, Moon Knight, Gamora). You do have to experiment with the champs to know how useful it is; if at all. Joe's is especially weak - there's a moderately good bleed effect following; but the damage is feeble against a bleed-immune champ.
If fighting with champs that rely on critical damage (Gamora and Cyke being important examples), you should try to make sure they use their SP2 before being pushed to an SP3. They can't get criticals on SP3, and their Sig won't apply to it.
Vision is a very special case, as it's his only special attack that deals any physical damage; so it's the only attack that benefits from Power Shield or Life Transfer nodes. His SP1 and 2 do zero actual damage (the damage comes a fraction of a second later, from the Power Burn) so don't gain any benefit from nodes like this; aren't affected by Boosts, and can't be critical.
Overall, that's not a disadvantage; as Vision's SP1 and SP2 damage also isn't affected by weakness, armour, safeguard, Ice Armour, Plot Armour and so forth.
Sometimes, the sp3 is not very good if you don't build something around it.
Hype's sp3 is good with some fury buff or 2nd/3rd one, but, first one, w/o buff, is average.
GR is very dependant on his sp3 in longer fights. Without it, you couldn't reset his judgments.
Another is ST. If you end with an sp3, you carry over a very powerful fury.
I think Hulk, Gambit, Storm (duped) and Cyclops are the few where their sp3 does superior damage with all the benefits of their other specials.
Most S3s would be used for the effect that comes after it, Thor Ragnarok springs to mind here
This game isn’t as straight forward as just raw damage all the time so that is why there are discrepancies between say Domino sp3(raw damage/bleed) and GR sp3(placing and reseting judgements) and Magik(nullifying all buffs on opponent for XX damage per buff nullified).
Then some champs like guillotine they need to be avoided. Never go past Sp2.
Characters are all different. Sig levels. Dupe. All factors. Like duped storm. Sp2 hits a crit. Insane damage. Like high sig SW.
Still don’t beat sp2 crit from SL with high combo. Hit over 50k with my 5*.
I wonder what the most damaging SP3s are? It's a bit situational; but as an example of a really good SP3, I've done 47,000 damage on an SP3 from 4/55 Magik on a Venom boss in Uncollected EQ; who was stacking extra buffs from an Adaptive node.
No boosts, no suicides. Imagine what a 5/65 would have done!
To be fair though, sp3's are pretty lame, and sp1 and sp2 do the job more easily for most champs.
My dear Lord....
the AI can do it, why we can't?
