Comics have always had an abundance of costumed villains to combat their hero counterparts, but how many of them are truly lame? How many are truly... the worst? That's a question lots of people ask, but there's only one person who can have the defining and final word on it, me.
5. Vulture
Like most Spiderman villains, Vulture could be easily defeated by a cop with a sniper rifle. The mere existence of Vulture proves how terrible of a superhero Spidey is. If he has trouble fighting people like Vulture, he truly is a menace! Just equip the cops of NYC with a sniper rifle and Vulture wouldn't even be a problem. It really boggles the mind how a character like Vulture still exists considering how useless he is. It'd be like DC keeping the Ma Hunkel Red Tornado. It's simply absurd.
Oh, who am I kidding? Condiment King is a PRIME Batman villain. Did you see that CHAOS he dealed with that mustard blaster alone? Truly a menacing character mistakenly added to this list.
Whoever thought of Kite-Man should legitimately kill himself. What the hell is Kite-Man going to do to terrorize Gotham? Glide? This is probably just a regular hang gliding enthusiast who just felt a bit flamboyant. What a lame excuse for a Batman villain and a villain in general.
Kryptonite Man is such a lame villain. I guess it really reflects Superman's mixed writing, but how low can you get to just make some skrull looking guy who's literally made out of Kryptonite? Oh well. At least he isn't bad as the next villain.
Dr. Doom is one of the most overrated comic characters ever. He has a series of "Badass moments" which many people mistake for good writing. This seems to be a mistake many people make. Having a "cool" moment doesn't make a character well written and this is what most of Dr Doom's character is comprised of. Instead of writers striving to flesh out Doom's character, they instead choose to have artificial moments just to "boost his badassery." I mean he "Surgically opened up Hulk to physically seperate Banner and Hulk from each other." You think that isn't contrived?
His "characteristics" are essentially tropes now with his current demeanor being downright cartoony. When people say that Doom is "one of the greatest literary characters ever" I already know how stupid they are. I mean, what great story has Doom been in that was his own? DoomWar? Doom's crowning literary achievement was being in Marvel's most mediocre book, Fantastic Four. (Which I'm sure you're all big fans of judging by the pre-cancellation sales.) Oh yeah, he also got smacked down by Squirrel Girl.
That's the current list (for now.) But if anyone who is clearly mentally disabled would like to argue how
deep and
perfect any of these characters are, you can just go back to reading your terrible comic series!
