Crappiest Superhero

As for an actual Super Hero, I think the worst one [and please let me explain before I'm booed out of the forum] is The Punisher. Unlike the Heros for Hire, Avengers, Fantastic Four or, Spider-Man, The Punisher is simply out for revenge. He wants to kill The Kingpin and everybody in his inner circle. He isn't stopping jewel thieves or, fighting Galactic Supermen: He's ruthlessly in-torture-gating petty criminals in order to get to hire ups on the gang-land food chain. He has run afoul of the odd super hero though such as Spider-Man and, what's better, he's survived. On the other hand, he did get his ass kicked after murdering Goldbug and Plunderer in cold blood...Main point: an old lady would rather be helped across the street by Ghost Rider than by Castle.
As for a useless original super hero: How about Obsessive Compulsive Man?

I got one: Mildly radioactive man! He is slightly more radioactive than you!
Non homebrew: Captain planet. that is all.

Besides which, Aquaman doesn't just talk to sealife, he commands them. All of them. That means everything from the cute-and-cuddly (otters and penguins) to vicious killers (sharks and squid/octopi) to gargantuan mega-beasts (whales) are all at his disposal. And since most of the planet is covered in oceans, and most of the world's economic and political centers lie on coastline, well...good thing he's a superhero.Justin Shea said:
Speaking of which: I'd say that if Aquaman were in, oh say, Superman Returns, I have a feeling Lex Luthor would have emerged from the Fortress of Solitude to find his ship sunk by an orca. Then, Superman would have been informed of his location, rounded him up before the whole "Kryptonite island" bit, and spent the rest of the movie doing something else.
But the actual lamest superhero ever? Ugly John (from Grant Morrison's X-Men run). To quote from the actual issue he appeared in: "I have three faces, and all of them look like pigs."
For my own: Mister Mess-Maker, with the ability to drop a bunch of stuff on the floor and walk away, leaving the other heroes to clean up after him while the villains get away.
You sir, win.A random person 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.Dark Templar said:
The worst superhero is probably superman. I mean im SORRY but the superhero and the story quality go hand in hand and well...
I dunno, in most superhero fiction a visit from Captain Obvious would pretty much save the day issue 1 panel 1.Rhino923 said:
The Red Bee
Rick Raleigh fights crime during the day as assistant district attorney of Superior City and fights crime... also during the day as the Red Bee, scourge of the underworld!
Sadly, we have not been able to find anything remotely close to an origin story for this guy, which is a shame because if anything needs an explanation it's those awful stripped tights and see-through sleeves. You know what, maybe it's better we don't know.

I know this will get some dirty looks, but I just have to...
