Lamest Superheroes

FreakShiny · 11-20-2003, 01:52 PM

I think there has already been a thread on this WAY in the past but I thought it would be fun to bring the discussion up again.

Tell us who you think is the LAMEST, MOST IDIOTIC superhero you have ever heard of or read about in comic books/movies/etc.

My vote is split two ways --

1) Green Lantern
-------> Powers <-------
*Green Ring which can create virtually anything -- whatever is created by the ring is also green (if I recall correctly).
*That's it... a freaking magic green ring

-------> Weaknesses <-------
*Anything yellow -- that's right... ANYTHING YELLOW! How freaking lame is that?!?!

------------------------>or<--------------------------

2) Superman (I may get some flak on this one)
-------> Powers <-------
*X-Ray vision (which is ONLY used for good)
*Laser vision
*Ice Breath (for conveniently freezing small bodies of water)
*Super wind breath
*Impervious to anything
*Super strength
*Can fly

-------> Weaknesses <-------
*None... except when a green rock from his home planet is around, then he cries like a baby when you pinch him.

Not as lame as Green Lantern, but still lame, nonetheless.

lamest superhero? lets see... superman. and i think he is lame for the same reasons you do. i mean, when do such powers actually come in handy? i am sure that there are some other really lame ones out there, though.

Green Lantern, hahaha.

Does Batman even have any superpowers?

He just has a lot of handy trinkets, and that is cheating.

Bibleman.

but batman has that cool lingo.....oh wait..it's robin that talked all cool.
batman's stupid.

what about captain planet?

Scott · 11-20-2003, 02:41 PM

Batman isn't a superhero, he's just hard working.

Bibleman sucks.

Oh, and Captain Bible isn't too good. He was the star of a Christian computer game my parents tried to wean me off of Wolfenstein 3d with.

Basically, you had to collect different verses and deploy them to different lie machines, as I recall. You also collected such things as the Sword Of The Spirit, blablabla.

I think I played one level and went back to shooting Nazis.

You think Green Lantern and Superman are lamer than the Wonder Twins? "Form of....block of ice!"

What is the Wonder Twins' weakness? Is it yellow light? Are their powers negated by a rock from outer space that somehow their villains are easily able to obtain?

The guy Wonder Twin can turn into inanimate objects and nothing more. If he wants to jump from a building and fall on a bad guy by changing into a huge boulder, he can.

The girl Wonder Twin can turn into animals and nothing more. If she wants to turn into a tiger and ravage the crap out of some bad guy, she can.

In terms of superhero weaknesses, having a mere limitation to what your powers can do isn't that bad.

There were a lot of minor characters in Marvel comics whose superpowers were nominal. 'Jubilee' from the X-men comes to mind. She was a teenager who could make small dancing lights appear at her fingertips. 'The Dazzler' was another one. She was some rollerskating lady who could light up the room by emanating light from her body.

Even without the element of yellow, those heroes could whoop anyone, Adam.

zoe r · 11-20-2003, 04:16 PM

hahahahaha.

Bibleman has those awesome songs, though.
And the posse of Non-denom kids in bright clothing who danced to them.

Batman is sooooooo treated like a superhero.

And Captain Planet is definitely not lame.
He's our hero!!!!!

And "The Dazzler" sounds an awful lot like Xanadu.

Hi kiddioes.
