   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 lame o. He really isn't that powerful.

2. Superman

   

   Superman is a fictional comic book character and arguably the first powerful superhero of the modern era. The character was created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, who were high school students in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1933.

   He is nowhere near as powerful as people think he is.

3. Goku

   

   Son Goku (Saiyan name Kakarrot) is the main protagonist of the Dragon Ball franchise created by Akira Toriyama in 1984. He possesses many powerful abilities, including super strength, ki control, flight, teleportation, super speed, enhanced reflexes, and Super Saiyan transformations that increase his... read more

   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.

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

4. Catwoman

   

   Catwoman is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly associated with the superhero Batman.

   Catwoman has been featured in numerous media adaptations related to Batman. Actresses Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, and Eartha Kitt introduced her to a broad... 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.

7. Deadpool

   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 to 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.
