I think all of Section 8 would qualify for both worst and best superheroes. Any superhero team with a guy called the Defenestrator who carries a window around with him for the express purpose of throwing people out of it is made of pure awesome.xitel said:I would say the Dog Welder, but he's obviously also the BEST superhero ever. He welds dogs to people. He welds. Dogs. To people.
Yes, unfortunately all but Bueno Excellente are supposedly dead, but with comic book's history of noone actually being dead forever, they may come back. Which would be... "Bueno... *chuckles creepily*"Liverandbacon said:I think all of Section 8 would qualify for both worst and best superheroes.

<spoiler=Descriptions of all team members courtesy of wikipedia. Read it, seriously>Sixpack: Team leader, whose special ability is grotesque drunkenness and beating villains with broken-off liquor bottles.
Bueno Excellente: An obese, sweaty, and bald Latino in an overcoat who "defeats evil with the power of perversion." Generally, the only thing he says will be "Bueno", often preceded by a creepy chuckle.[1]
The Defenestrator: A large, burly man in a denim jacket, black sunglasses, with black hair who obsessively carries around a window through which he forcefully throws criminals and the occasional unlucky policeman. His assaults on police officers landed him in Arkham Asylum.
Dogwelder: A thin, silent man in a welder's mask who spot welds dead canines to evildoers, resulting in extreme burns and general horror. The question of how exactly one can weld a flesh and blood animal to a person is not answered by the series.
Friendly Fire: A large, hapless man in a red cowl, Friendly Fire would easily be the most powerful of Section 8's heroes if he were to shoot anything other than allies with the potent bolts of energy he fires from his hands.
Jean de Baton-Baton: A bizarrely gaunt walking French caricature who defeats enemies with "the power of Frenchness," as expressed by savage beatings with a baton and occasionally blinding others with rings of garlic and onions.
Flemgem: A sickly, thin, bald man in a green suit and a purple domino mask who has the ability to produce and expel large volumes of phlegm, which can blind, suffocate, or simply gross out evildoers.
Shakes: A thin, hairy vagrant who upsets people through stutters and an overall shaking palsy. He is a frequent, accidental target of Friendly Fire.
Superman wasn't overpowered. At the time he was created he was meant to be undefeatable. It was symbolic of the fact that good can always defeat evil. A crock of shit in my opinion but regardless, he's not overpowered.pantsoffdanceoff said:Superman. I mean what kind of Overpowered bullshit is that?
Both Superman and Captain America were created to be a symbol of patriotism, fighting against the enemies of the US. Of course he was overpowered back then, he represented the country (why do you think Superman's costume was red and blue?). If he lost, it would be like the country losing. But now that DC and Marvel aren't as concerned with inspiring patriotism, they aren't necessary to be invulnerable, and instead are being pushed to the side in favor of newer, more original and exciting characters.psypherus said:Superman wasn't overpowered.

That being said, Superman had my vote for worst superhero (because everyone seems to have some damn kryptonite) when I opened the thread but after reading the very first post (Captain america) I'm gonna have to go with him.
Kiteman is a villain though...Archaeology Hat said:Kiteman (Technically a batman villain) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite_Man

I will accept my respect in monetary form.
yes but metal man can be recycled if he gets melted by heat visionjockslap said:well at least plastic man is cheaper to make then metal manwewontdie11 said:It's a toss up between "Plastic Man" and "Elongated Man". Not only are they two of the most hilariously awful names ever, they basically have the same powers and they are pretty much the same as the much more popular Reed Richards as well.
