Who do you think are the most incompetent super heroes/supervillians ever?

http://www.seanbaby.com/super.htm
That site deals with the super friends and the legion of doom(more like legion of dumb).

Aquaman is a pretty shitty hero, but Green Lantern can't touch the color yellow(I'm not kidding) and Superman keeps forgetting that HE HAS FREAK'N SUPERPOWERS!!!

Well, Aquaman had his hand bitten off by fish. Despite the fact that he can control fish...

"Oh damn! I could have told them not to bite my hand off!"

Namor's better...

But probably I would have to say the Whizzer has both the worst name and worst origin.

Just to be clear, he has super speed because he got a blood transfusion from a mongoose. It wasn't even radioactive.

What about Potato Salad Man?

Seriously though, She-Hulk is easily near the top of this list. Cannonball is up there too, right next to Cable. But the worst of the worst were super villains, two automatically come to mind, Arcade (UGH!!), and Baron Mordo (how can anyone be afraid of a guy with that hair?).

the one I like was the battle between him and Captain Ultra (http://www.marveldirectory.com/individuals/c/captainultra.htm)

Plant man was on a rampage because he felt that Christmas trees were being needlessly killed to promote a captialist holiday, thus damaging the ecology. When Captain Ultra realized this is what angered Plant man, he offered a truce. after the holidays, the people would bring their trees to barren areas and plant man would revitalize them. Impressed that this hero actually listened to him and not just automatically pummelled him into jail, Plant man gave Captain Ultra a late Christmas present... a new costume....


that Cap Ultra has still yet to wear... :D

I like that Captain Ultra is a plumber.

This sounds like the kinds of superheroes you'd expect in rural Kansas or something.

and plus, Captain Planet main goal was to tell us what things around the house are made of. Now make Captain Planet a Vietnam Vet who smokes and has a tattoo on his arm, then we're talking.

He's super-cool, too. I mean, come on, he pioneered the 'dark hero'. And for those of you who only remember Adam West and Burt Ward trading punches with the Joker and Penguin, go read Batman: Year One by Frank Millar.

Now, damnit!

The so-called "hero" prefers to use negotiating and sensitivity to fight crime. Also, his uniform isn't heroic, its referre or coach-like.

IMO, there is no such thing as a bad superhero, only bad writing.

Some people have bashed the Wonder Twins. But they actually had decent powers (except for the need to touch to activate them). However, in the old SuperFriends cartoons they were portryed as idiots, and that's what everyone remembers.

Also, most people think Batman is kewl. Maybe he is, but Adam West was dorky, and the Batman in the old SuperFriends toons wasn't very good either.

With the right/wrong writing, any character can be good/bad.

Indeed followed by the Tick and Spiderman and American Maid for the ladies.
*Drools*

Best Super Villian would be the Red Skull unless you are a NAZI and then he would be a hero now wouldn't he?;)
That Mexican Super Hero from Pee Wee Herman was pretty cool too.

Worst hero would be the Hulk that cartoon bored me.
Worst Villian Inferno or Sauron( Ithink thats is his name) from X-men.

Hmm. Merely because you don't like a book, doesn't mean it's a bad book. It has to be a good book considering it was on the best seller's list for like 126 weeks or something.

Spider man.All he does is shoot goo around and cry about not being able to tell anyyone.

But the best is LOBO!!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobo_%28DC_Comics%29
Lobo promptly kills an entire intergalactic bar of aliens, and is sucked into a wormhole on his ride through space. Landing in parts unknown, Lobo/Mask heads to a single planet where, crashing the 400th annual Feel Good Games, he insults a king, and proceeds to kill numerous people. A crayon drawing left on his bike with the words "YOU SMELL" incurs his wrath, and he destroys numerous planets hunting down the one who drew the insulting picture.

Dishman (http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/d/dishman.htm):
First Appearance: Dishman #1 (1985)

Powers/Abilities: Able to teleport dirty crockery and cutlery to their proper storage cupboards with a wave of his hands, cleaning them en route.

History: Mutated by years of washing radiocative fiestaware dishes, long time comics fan Paul Mahler decided he had to use his "great powers" with "great responsibility" and designed a crimefighting costume, becoming the crimefighting Dishman. Unfortunately finding crime to fight proved more difficult than he realised, people tended to laugh at his ridiculous costume, his power to clean dishes at a distance proved less than effective as a crime-busting tool, and his fiance ditched him because she felt he had become a lunatic.

Did I ever mention that I've owned a comic book store for 25 years? Guess not.

The worst hero is Superman! He should have stayed dead.

The best hero is Superphil. He has all powers ever. Shut up.

But if I had to choose a real best I'd say...that Hitman is the best. I hate seeing a bunch of idiots running around in capes and brightly painted underpants. Nobody sane would go outside like that. Give me somebody in a trench coat with a gun over tights, capes, and cowels any day.

Any villain/supervillain that doesn't wear a cape or a bright costume and is really violent is good and any that do that crap I just mentioned suck donkey balls.
