Worst Super Hero or Heroic Protagonist

As far as crappy heroes would go (in terms of their actions/choices, not powers), Mega Man would be high up there.

After stopping the evil scientist who reprogrammed 6 robots to take over the world, he just... leaves him there, grovelling outside the wreckage of his ship (Mega Man 1). After said scientist builds 8 robots to get revenge and is subsequently stopped again, Mega Man just... walks away (Mega Man 2).

With the exception of Mega Man 6, the ending of every Mega Man (original series) game can be summed up as "Wily got away. AGAIN."

Spoiler: Mega Man 7 spoilers, just in case

However I do like Mega Man 7's ending where he decides to kill Wily, but hesitates long enough for Bass to come in and carry Wily away. Then Mega Man walks away looking pissed off as the credits roll. I find the ending to be fitting considering that it comes after the hardest damn boss fight in any Mega Man game (and that includes the X and Zero series). When a bad guy puts up that much of a fight, letting him live to do it again is not a smart idea.

Personally, I'd say Ant Man or any hero who's only ability is to either grow or shrink. Seriously, how far can that get you when fighting crime?

Shrinking would come in handy in situations where stealth is required. Getting bigger would help when you just want to Godzilla the crap out of some fools.

the KOOL-AID MAN!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. Nice job, Kool-Aid Man, you're more of a threat to those kids than those... yellow...things with green tongues.

Still not very good in a fight.

And yes, I understand he has a bunch of fancy arrows that he keeps in his magical quiver that dispenses an infinite amount of arrows.

Fancy arrows that could include a nuke arrow. This is the comic book universe, where Batman lives, I'm sure there could be a nuke arrow. Might even slow down one of superman's villains.

How about Mario? You start of in Galaxy 2 by killing an infant...
Our protagonist, ladies and gentlemen!

This. I thank you greatly for reminding me.

It's not even an infant, it's a fucking baby...

Are you guys serious? That sounds ridiculous... But somehow plausible, in a Mario sort of way.

I really don't know who I'd nominate, OT, I just wanted to know how Mario killed a baby.

Gonna have to go with Superman too.
For the reasons already mentioned.
He's just a walking "I Win" button.

By spinning on it's tail so the ball on the tail smacked straight into it's head. Do it thrice and it goes "POOF!" (It was a Baby Pirahna Plant, but it's still wrong to kill a baby)

Superman, lamest hero ever.

First of all - THANK YOU dude - I piss myself - XD

I wanted to say some1 else first ... but now i totally agree with you !

 

[Sgt AssHead]

Plastic man...but damn he tries.

In one of the Batman comics ( I have no clue which one) Batman actually says that Plastic man was one of the most powerful super heroes he's seen. :-0

That is actually true.

He is the most powerful do the fact he simply can't be stop.

Mind control? Not going to happen.
Damage? what damage?
He can be in cold condtions...for say a hour at most before feeling cold.

But the only person holding him back is himself.

I'm gonna say Aquaman Green Arrow.

Only so much you can do with fish arrows.

I came in here fully expecting Aquaman to get a total bashing, but this is the best I get? Oh well, I already prepared a retort, so might as well use it:

Spoiler: This is not a lame super-hero.

Fuck fish, HOOK ARM GO!

OT: I'd have to agree about Superman, he's just so white bread w/ mayo.

 

[Zeromaeus]

Hmm...
Most of the B-list, shoved to the side, DC super heroes qualify.
Jubilee.
Uh...
...
Aquaman isn't as crappy as people make him out to be...
...
Wonder Twins. They suck balls.
No. Better. Apache chief.

 

[Fappy]

Superman. Why? He's basically a god... not a very compelling protagonist if all his conflicts always have to be gimmicky and/or forced.

Btw OP, read Kirkman's Ant-Man and tell me you still hate the character! I dare you.

He lands on the egg of one of those flower things (pirhanas or whatever they're called) which cracks it and bursts the thing out of the egg prematurely. He then continues to hit the baby until it dies.

Erm.................. OK, ya got me, I am actually dumbfounded! I mean, who is that aimed at? - No one who is ever actually going to get the chance to use one, that's for sure! ;-)

I've seen lots of threads recently about the worst villain or best hero, but I'm here to ask, "Who is the worst hero?"

I say Heroic Protagonist because a protagonist does not mean "hero" Just look at Light Yagami.

Personally, I'd say Ant Man or any hero who's only ability is to either grow or shrink. Seriously, how far can that get you when fighting crime?

Probably nothing but there making a movie about him, although he can COMMUNICATE with insects now. Thats right, he can give criminals a nasty sting.

Don't believe me? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478970/

This is proof that the world will end in 2012 (jks of course)
