1 Batman Batman aka Bruce Wayne is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, and first appeared in Detective Comics #27. In film, he has been portrayed by Lewis Wilson, Robert Lowery, Adam West, Michael ...read more.

He has no talent or superpowers, at least superman does. Plus, he has no personality it is boring as hell and it's hard to like him.

Batman is certainly overrated. Batman Batman Batman. What a lamo. He really isn't that powerful

Hate him, that's all I have to say

You shouldn't hate him.

2 Goku Son Goku (Kakarrot) is the main protagonist in Dragon Ball franchise created by Akira Toriyama in 1984. He has many abilities like, super strength, utilization of ki, flight, teleportation, super speed, enhanced reflexes, and Super Saiyan transformation that increase strength, speed, and durability. His real name was suppose to be Kakarrot because that's his Saiyan name, and he is the son of Badrock, and Gina. His brother was Raditz. When they sent Goku (Kakarrot) to Earth his grandfather Gohan took care of him. Later on Goku didn't realize it when he was a kid, but he killed his grandfather Gohan because it was a full moon, and Goku looked at it, so he turned into a giant ape.

"Manga" is the word for Japan Comic book, to the idiot who said Goku isn't a comic book character.

Anyway, Goku is overrated as SIN! DBZ was a popular show not because of Goku but because of EVERYONE ELSE.. he's a great fighter and looks cool and that's all there is to his character. He's the superman of DBZ, just an OP spotlight hogging ass.

Fools, he's not from comic books. Research a bit before putting these people up here.

Well he's originally a manga character and mangas are basically comics so I think it's legit.

3 Superman Superman is a comic character. And probably the first powerful superhero in the fictional world. The character was created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, high school students living in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1933. It was published by DC comics. The first animated superhero movie was superman. The origin story of Superman relates that he was born Kal-El on the planet Krypton, before being rocketed to Earth as an infant by his scientist father Jor-El, moments before Krypton's destruction. Discovered and adopted by a Kansas farm couple, the child is raised as Clark Kent and imbued with a strong moral compass. Very early on he started to display various superhuman abilities, which, ...read more.

He is no where near as powerful as people think he is.

4 Captain America Captain Steven Grant Rogers, most known as Steve Rogers or Captain America, is a fictional superhero appearing in the American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He was a World War II veteran and is known as the world's first superhero. The character was created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon and was portrayed by Chris Evans in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

He's not that overrated. He shouldn't be in top 10.

5 Wonder Woman Wonder Woman is a fictional superhero created by William Moulton Marston and Harry G. Peter, appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character is a founding member of the Justice League, a goddess, and Ambassador-at-Large of the Amazon people. In her homeland, the island nation of Themyscira, her official title is Princess Diana of Themyscira, Daughter of Hippolyta. When blending into the society outside of her homeland, she adopts her civilian identity Diana Prince. The character is also referred to by such epithets as the "Amazing Amazon", the "Spirit of Truth", "Themyscira's Champion", the "God-Killer", and the "Goddess of Love and War". In the DC Cinematic Universe, ...read more.

Not a terrible character by any means, but Wonder Woman is the most overrated female superhero. She isn't the only GREAT or HOT female superhero.

6 Deadpool Deadpool is a fictional antihero created by Marvel who appears in their comics. Deadpool's first appearance was in New Mutants #98 by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza in February of 1991. His powers include self-healing and super strength. He is regarded as one of the funniest characters in comics due to his tendency to break the fourth wall.

He's literally just like an 11-year-old's fan character. He looks like Spider-Man but has tons of guns and swords. He has Wolverine's healing factor, but it goofed up so now it's even stronger somehow instead of being weaker. He cannot die. He's invincible. Take Spider-Man's cocky, sarcastic personality and amplify it up x70, and you got Deadpool. I honestly prefer when he was a blatant ripoff of Deathstroke who looked like Spider-Man. Now he's just obnoxious.

I hate call any character overrated but if I had to then Deadpool would be my number one pick. This guy used to be funny but unfortunately bad writers have turned him into a stupid meme-spewing parody of his former self. R.I.P Deadpool. The character is dead to me now.

Deadpool is literley a copy of Deathstroke. Deathstroke's name is Slade Wilson. Deadpool's name is Wade Wilson. Coinsidence, I think not

I like her and all, but she never proved herself to be one of Batman's strongest enemies, unlike her friend Ivy. - crazy fangirl

She has no powers, why do people like her so much?

Although the Joker was planned to be killed off during his initial appearance, he was spared by editorial intervention, allowing the character to endure as the archenemy of the superhero Batman. The Joker has also been included in many other platforms such as the Arkham game series, the DC animated universe, Young Justice, graphic novels, and ...read more.

So villain's like porky from mother 3 and jasper batt Jr from no more heroes 2 get universally hated for what they do. But when joker does it, how come he get's a free pass?

Joker to me isn't a really menacing villain like Loki, Thanos, Venom, and Ultron
