Who is the WORST Superhero of all time?

[TheTygerfire]

Captain Planet.

 

[000Ronald]

Mr. Immortal.

Y'know why? All he does is DIE! THAT'S ALL HE EVER DOES!

I mean, he's not completely useless, he's good for comic relief, but not as good as Conan O'Brien or Deadpool.

Apologies to fans of Great Lakes Avengers (or Great Lake X-Men, or Great Lake Champions, or whatever the hell they're called now...).

The worst superhero? Me. Seriously, I tried to help my local police department with a hostage situation....yeah never again.

 

[eatenbyagrue]

IMO Captain America is the worst superhero of all time, not only because he is American (dont take it seriously), but because he was killed by a bullet, an ordinary, plain, absolutely not special in any way...and he was just plain dead...that's just pathetic.

Dying by way of a bullet isn't really humiliating (remember: he was handcuffed, sans-armor and taking the bullet for an innocent), it's the fact that Sally Floyd (aka The Dumbest Person in the Marvel Universe) lays on him about how he doesn't go to YouTube or MySpace or watch American Idol, or even own an iPod. THAT is humiliation.

All that being said, I was tempted to say Matter-Eater Lad (he eats matter. ALL matter), but the Legion of Superheroes cartoons makes him so badass that I'm willing to forget that. Oh wait, the answer is Green Arrow and Hawkeye. Why? They're guys who use bows and arrows. Thats it. At least Green Arrow tries to be creative with his arrows (boxing glove arrows, boomerang arrows, fire extinguisher arrows, handcuff arrows, fountain pen arrow, dry ice arrow, etc.), Hawkeye just has arrow, armor piercing arrow, arrow with rope and exploding arrow.

That may be of interest as it contains some more of the worst heroes ever. Although the Red Bee is fucking awesome! He has a trained Bee that lives in his belt buckle! Called Michael!!!

I actually think Cypher has a decent power. He can translate any language or any code. So at worst hes a human who can speak any language. But he'd make a good support character, could translate alien or ancient languages for the team and hack the codes of enemies.

well another useless hero besides armless tigerman and aquaman:

best hero ever is the mentally unstable:

Oh god this is ridiculously funny:

Well I have to fundamentally disagree with you the Cap is one of the best heroes EVER no other hero could have ended the civil war just because he said so and for no other reason by the way

 

[sirsolo]

batman, great movies, but he has no actual powers...

Leave life. Just.. go.

Aquaman, no question about it.

 

[lapan]

I don't know about the worst superhero, but some of the most awesome superheros are:

Kabukiman and Bicycle Repair Man

While attending a Kabuki play, Harry witnesses mobsters gun down the entire cast. In the ensuing gunfight, Harry is forcefully kissed by one of the dying actors, unknowingly becoming blessed with the powers of Kabuki. Before he knows it, Griswold finds out that he has the ability to transform into Kabukiman, a colorfully-dressed slapstick superhero who has the ability to fly and access to such unique weapons as heat seeking chopsticks and fatal sushi.

 

[MorganL4]

Superman. I mean what kind of Overpowered bullshit is that?

THe original superman couldnt fly could be hurt by all radiation, could have is costume torn, had no x ray vision, and many other things, pop culture made him what he is today, so dont go blameing kent, he is the victim in this crime

worst imo.............................................. krypto the super dog, they just went way to far when they made superman a dog.

 

[Samurai Goomba]

Superman. No personality besides being nice to everyone who isn't Lex Luthor, bland foes and a boring backstory. Yeah, Bill had a really neat little bit to say about him in Kill Bill, but that doesn't mean he still isn't really, really bland.

I just don't like DC superheroes in general. They all kind of feel samey and dull to me, with the possible exception of Batman (who I just don't like). The Green Lantern is DC, isn't he? 'Cause if he is, he's probably the only DC character I like.

I'll take Spider-Man, Daredevil, Wolverine, even Nova (look up the old comics with him-they are surprisingly good) over a DC superhero any day of the week.

And yeah, Auqaman sucks. Or should we call him Sea-Man (South Park reference)?

Edit: I should clarify that the Green Lantern that I like is the most recent one. You know, that confused guy who likes drawing comics. I can really identify with him. And even though being weak to the color yellow is a really lame weakness, at least it made for some hilarious villains.

"Hello, I am Completely Yellow Man. I hate all Green Lanterns for some inexplicable reason. I shall now commence to toss you around the city while civilians point at you and curse you out for destroying their crap. Have a nice day."

Yeah, Lantern is DC.
As far as the companies go, I'm the exact opposite.

 

[Logan Westbrook]

I like the way that everyone seems to be ignoring the fact that Aquaman has super-strength, as well as the ability to communicate with marine life.

 

[Pseudonym2]

Without a doubt the question man from justice league.

He has the superpower to have no face! Yeh thats right, thats his superpower.
His other superpower is to ask questions! Woo, questions, aint he the greatest?

Actually he picked up some new powers including being able to see into alternate dimensions and communicate with the spirit of cities. The reason why he has no face is because he has a mask on. After he got over his Ann Ryan/Rorschach phase, he became really cool in 52.

Asking questions is important skill if you're trying to get rid of corrupt officials instead of super villains.

He said it best "It is not in my power to effect the change. I haven't the might. I am not the answer. I am only the question."


Aquaman has limited strength and invulnerability. He can communicate with the part of someone's brain that evolved from fish giving them a seizure. That makes him cool in my book.

My pick would be Hal Jordan. In addition to being an obnoxious establishment conservative dick and prone to knocking him self out, his personality is defined by the fact he has no fear. Anyone seen Red Dwarf?

I'm surprised no one mentioned Rob Liefeld. All his characters are bad until Joe Kelly or Alan Moore changes them. They're shallow, have stupid names (Grimm), and do nothing but but break into bases and kill the leader. Seriously, that's the plot for the first 8 issues of Youngblood.) people The worst is BloodWolf which is parody of Lobo by playing straight the stupid ultra violence the Lobo is parodying. Lobo even means wolf in Spanish.

 

[blackcherry]

Bouncing boy from the legion of super heroes. Normally he is just a very unfit kid, but he has the power to inflate his body the shape of a ball! Ooooh!

Batman/Green Arrow wise I would just quote from final crisis

'Whats your super power?'
'I'm super rich. That means I can do pretty much anything'
Batman as well has the power of 'superwill' if the comics would have you believe. He once turned back an alien invasion with the power of his fricking mind.
This was after the Specter (pretty much the biggest hitter the good guys have out there as he is the representative of Gods divine wrath) failed to do the same. So in a battle of the minds Batman could have one of the most powerful beings in the DC universe. Pretty badass to me

 

[itsnotyouitsme]

Stonermidgethoboman is the worst if not coolest of them all.

 

[Jenny Creed]

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.

You should look up Bwana Beast. That guy is an awesome hero/ villain. He has similar powers, but with all animals.

Sub-mariner. He's Aqua Man, but can't talk to fish.

Correction: Dogwelder has the superpower to weld dogs to people's faces with a welder.

But he's just silly and useless. If you want really bad, incompetent, dumbass greedy murdering sex fiend arrogant sons of bitches superheroes by the truckload I recommend The Boys by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. None of the heroes mentioned in this thread can hold a candle to guys like The Homelander or Tek Knight in the league of badness. And let's not even get started on the guys who come back from the dead.

 

[brenflood]

There's so much hate for Aquaman. While I don't think he's great, he looked pretty awesome in the somewhat recent justice league cartoon especially with the hook hand. I wonder if all the hate comes from the scene in Dr. Katz where one of his patients makes fun of aquaman and brings up pretty much every point on this board.
I like how some of these characters are more worthless than my made up character, Deadbolt. His power was to lock or unlock any lock at will. He worked as a locksmith and eventually got hired by some mob for his incredible ability.
While his name sounds similar to Deadpool, I'm pretty sure I came up with it before even knowing of Deadpool. I don't think I've ever read a comic book, and until recently (with Hulk vs. Wolverine), he wasn't included in any of the cartoons as far as I know.

 

[MisterBrown]

People hating on Captain Planet can go away, that green mulleted planet entheusiest rules.

Worst superhero ever?
George Bush for not preventing 9/11
Or
Bananaman, seriously.
