Angle Grinder Man, a real life superhero who trundled around Birmingham illegally freeing clamped cars. Unfairly clamped in a hospital car park after being told where to park there by an advisor, the mysterious man made it his mission to get revenge on those who clamped him, by cutting off wheel clamps and speed cameras with his angle grinder!

That makes him one of the top 20 coolest people alive right below Jon Stamos.GuerrillaClock said:
Forgot the name, but this one superhero who has very good luck due to the ghosts of dead soldiers. Yes, she's a St. Patrick's day Irish stereotype.

anybody who can fly and shoot lasers. i know it's cool and effective but not original(there are like 2000 of those already)
my choice: Superman. his makers made the perfect man: he's strong fast etc. and then they realised that an invincible juggernaut doesn't make for good drama so they threw in things like red sun-radiation and kryptonite to make him "more dramatic"

I still maintain that while Aquaman may not have as many powers as most of the JLA, he is a valuable member because he is a king whose country covers about 70% of the planet's surface. I seem to recall that during one storyline where a alien uses mental manipulation to make all the land countries extremely angry and willing to declare war at the slightest provocation, the only way the JLA was able to get them to stop was to have Aquaman threaten them into signing a cease -fire until the rest of the group was able to shut down the alien.
OT: I say the stupidest superhero is the X-man Maggot. His mutant power was that his digestive system turned into slugs that could eat anything. Seriously. I am not making this up.
Edit: Or possibly Flashback from the Alpha Flight series. His only power was to summon future versions of himself. This proved to be a big problem when one of his future selves was killed.

That's an epic super power! The amount of money this dude could make as a translator would be astronomical!Blueruler182 said:
Of course, you think of the practical purpose, you weirdo. He was on the New Mutants, among people with incredible powers, fighting people with incredible powers, and he was a translator. Now he's a badass.Two Angels said:
Though, I guess knowing computer language would come in pretty damn handy.
If we're going with premade superheroes I have to break the Aquaman trend and go with Batman. If you watch CollegeHumor (do they're awesome) they do a micktake on him. Can you imagine Batman up against some of the villains and goons, lets say Superman, faces. He'd get obliterated

And if we're making them up then it has to be Make-Englishman-Scottishman-Irishman-Jokes-At-Inappropiate-Times-Man.
Oh the shenanigans he'd get up to

Well since the comic-book heroes is supposed to give the reader the feeling of their power but also be a human catalyst that should be vulnerable at many levels, both as an entity and as a person. This makes suspense and makes the reader invested in the hero.
Therfore i must say that the Man of steel himself is the worst superhero.
All suspense is destroyed when he is involved, and you feel more for the characters around him than him, even that piece of shit Jimmy Olsen.
And every time it's treated as his strength of will that saves the day, not the fact that he is a god who dont like green rocks.

i'll admit, i have little knowledge of Aqua-man, provided only by Family-guy, which is well known for its exaggeration. Can he do those things out of water? obviously not the swimming, but the other stuff too.Justin Shea said:
