Re: Lame Superhero Rollcall

 

There are no lame heroes, only lame writers/editors that don't know how to make them great.

 

 

I need write only two words to disprove your claim:

 

"Skate Man".

 

(Of course Animal Man was kinda lame before Moore got his hands on him. Afterwards...still lame. Only now he was surrounded by weird distracting surreal junk and wore a leather jacket over his tights.)

Anyone in Hero Hotline:

 

 

  • Stretch - Tom Longacre, like the Elongated Man he drinks Gingold to gain stretching powers, but prolonged use of Gingold meant that his body's bones and muscles even at rest have so much more elasticity and give, that Stretch has trouble maintaining human form.
  • Microwavebelle - Belle Jackson, amateur scientist who made a device that confers microwave powers and flight.
  • Private Eyes - Lester Lee, private detective with goggles that give telescopic, x-ray, microscopic, and infra-red vision.
  • Diamondette - Diana Theotocopoulos, can make her hands as hard as diamond.
  • Voice-Over - Andy Greenwald, power of super ventriloquism, accomplished vocal mimic.
  • Fred - Invisible and intangible crewmember (possibly a creation of Voice-Over)
  • Mister Muscle - Sturgis Butterfield, is an obsessive bodybuilder, weightlifter and narcissist.
  • Hotshot - Billy Lefferts, meta-human able to shoot fireballs.
  • Zeep the Living Sponge - A living bath sponge, campaigner for super-hero rights and fair pay.
  • Marie the Psychic Turtle - A sentient psychic turtle.

Or the Inferior Five.

 

Individuals: Harlequin (aka "Joker's Daughter"), Mal, Bluejay, Jester . . .

Without a doubt Fantomex- Waters his head, wears stupid white rubber suit and his mutant 'gift'- a ship flew out of his mouth. (At least he claimed it was his mouth- could've been another orifice...).

Also under the delusion that women are actually attracted to him after mere minutes of conversation (it's the tilt of there hips, you see...).

And mysteriously Prof X is unable to read his mind (possibly because it's absent).

Proof positive that Grant Morrison can occasionally come up with a truly stupid, lamea** character.

Fantomex is unforgivable because he thinks he's so amazing, but really isn't.

I like her and all, don't get me wrong, but.. Bane Kerac's Cat Claw had pretty much the power to lose her costume..

 

Oh, sure, there were the powers of a housecat, too, but it was costume-losing that was featured more.
