I used to think this. Then I read the Ultimates.jockslap said:

Once you understand Captain America he's one of the most badass comic book characters there is.
For worst I'm tempted to say Superman. I'm really not sure. He can be cool, but he can come across as too powerful for his own good most of the time. I was certainly glad when this happened.

The Dark Knight Returns is such a good comic just because you get to see Superman have seven shades for shit kicked out of him.
EDIT: Scrap that, Superman is nearly as bad as a lot of superheroes. Probley have to be Robin, he's/she's just irraitaiting and pointless most of the time, especially next to the Darker Batman. At least stop making him 13 for gods sake!
Well, at least in DKR she's a less annoying chick rather than a pansy dude.
And humans die from pathetic things like poison:rolls eyes:Echo42 said:
My answer is Dog welder.
Probably the Hulk. Every problem is solved by just pounding the shit out of it until it stops being a problem.
Yeah, but he also can't do it. He gets to excited and could turn into the hulk.Lazzi said:
Bummer.
yes, how humiliating to get beaten up by a big blue man in little red pants!Jeronus said:
Well if batman can't be counted as being a superhero on account have having no actual superpowers, then can't Ironman also be similarly discounted (either way I still think Ironman is awesome.)
At first I was going to say Robin, but then I thought, "No, he at least does contribute to the team, even if only a little."
So who is the worst? Aquaman. Why is he even on the Justice League? Let me give you an example:
Superman: "Go fix the front of that ship, aquaman, while I go save the satillite!"
Aquaman: "Alright!"
There's no flippin' reason superman couldn't fix the ship on his way to save the satillite!

Something that strikes me; most people here are suggesting that the worthless heroes are the ones they don't like. Superman isn't the worst superhero of all time just because he's one of the most powerful beings on earth. Aquaman isn't useless; he's at least as strong as Namor, and, when given the oportunity, beat the crap out of him (by dropping a whale on him, mind).
The thing is, what deems a character as useless? To be honest, I'm not sure. It depends on the story, I think. Just because you don't like someone doesn't make their existence a moot point. Superman is importiant; if you want proof of this, just read The Nail [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JLA:_The_Nail] or Kingdom Come [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_Come_(comic_book)].
For my money, the most worthless superhero is The Grasshopper [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grasshopper_(comics)]; and that's kinda the point of that character in particular.
Apologies for...well...y'know, raining on your parade.

Do I have to stop at one?
As someone who takes comics as a form of art very seriously, the whole fucking superhero genre ("Watchmen," "Marshall Law," and "The Boys" don't count since they're all satires on the genre) is just a fucking load of stagnant bullshit. Read Garth Ennis' "The Boys" and I swear you will be jaded, incensed, and outright outraged that people think that the likes of Spiderman and Captain America are the cutting edge of entertainment.

Id also have to say superman. I've never been a fan, there's just no individuality to him, he's just one powerful being.
Superman, is the DC comic'super hero' whos crime fighting 'costume', is NOT his 'secret identity' but rather who he REALLY is. Escentially Clark Kent is HIS disguise, Clark Kent is Superman's commentary on what he believes the human race to be. Weak. 
And the real answer to this question has to go to a very special character from X-men.
Her name is Jubilee.
You probably remember her like this.

I remember an episode on the old 90s cartoon with her.
All of the x-men with her (wolverine, and a few others) were confronted with a metal door. She said 'ooh ooh! I can use my sparklers on this lock!' cause all the others didn't have a way of getting through.
Wolverine tells her to stand back, and claws his way through the door.
She is the Meg Griffon of the x-men.
