Top 10 Lamest Comic Book Superheroes

Comic books are a realm where humans fly, shape-shift, teleport, and do all sorts of mind-boggling things. They are the birthplace of legendary characters that have inspired us, thrilled us, and shown us that being different is indeed super. But let's face it, not every superhero is created equal. While we've all marveled at the likes of Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman, there are quite a few caped crusaders that have left us scratching our heads more than celebrating their heroism.

Now, what makes a superhero lame? Is it a bizarre superpower that seems to have no practical use? Is it a costume design that makes you question the fashion sensibility of the artist? Or perhaps it's a backstory so convoluted that you need a degree in quantum physics just to understand it?

These are the characters that, despite their creators' best intentions, ended up falling flat, the heroes that often become the butt of jokes or, worse still, get forgotten in the annals of comic book history. But let's not entirely dismiss them. After all, they serve as reminders that not all ideas are gold, and that sometimes, less is more.
The Top Ten
1 Arm Fall Off Boy

How is this guy not first?! His arm falls off, so amazing!

2 A-Bomb
3 G.One
4 Color Kid

Color Kid just shoots people with rays of colors. Then he became Color King. He then got gender reversal disease and became color queen.

This guy is like stupid little crayon coloring his own underwear! Hahah!

5 Bumblebee Bumblebee is a fictional character from the Transformers franchise. In most incarnations, Bumblebee is a small, yellow Autobot with most of his alternative vehicle modes inspired by several generations of the Chevrolet Camaro/Pontiac Firebird muscle cars.
6 Aquaman Aquaman is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Paul Norris and Mort Weisinger, the character debuted in More Fun Comics #73.

Aquaman is terrible, but the good thing is he's got eaten by Chris Griffin and the evil monkey from Family Guy!

Definitely the lamest. I see people making fun of him everywhere. EVen the neerds on "The Big Bang Theory" are making fun of Aquaman.

He is just too stupid, he is even worse than captain planet!

7 Robin Robin is the name of several fictional superheroes appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was originally created by Bob Kane, Bill Finger, and Jerry Robinson, to serve as a junior counterpart to the superhero Batman.

Will never be in the limelight. Batman is just too awesome.
On that note, despite Batmans lack of "super" powers, he is still super. Have you seen his fighting/discipline skills? He can also do LOADS of super power type things with technology.

8 Green Lantern Green Lantern is the name of a number of superheroes appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.
9 Cypher
10 Max Steel

His powers are plain boring, his gimmick looks terrible and his looks are tasteless!

All he has is a shield. HOW AMAZING. I understand why he got stuck in an iceberg. Batman could throw a batmerang and break the ice.

All he has is a shield. A SHIELD. At least Batman had a variety of weapons to use.

Thank God he is on this list - though I think he should be higher up He is just really lame and useless and a disaster to MCU. Ugh.

12 Rusty the Robot Boy

A rip-off version of Astro Boy, but it's still lame and stupid.

Spider-Man is Okay. Oh, and just by the way, the movies suck, they have 0 action, and are about stupid romance. Whoever made those movies suck so much.

He doesn't even have any super powers! He's a normal guy, just trained himself to catch bad guys! He doesn't have laser vision, or strength, or stretch... He can't fly, he can't shoot webs, he can't breathe underwater...

Batman's super power you ask? Being a super rich trust fund kid... LAME

24 Doctor Strange Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange, best known under his alias Doctor Strange, is a fictional superhero created by artist Steve Ditko and writer Stan Lee appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Doctor Strange serves as the Sorcerer Supreme, the primary protector of Earth against magical... read more

I can see how he can be useless in battle because he'll spend more time flipping through his spellbook than he is fighting a bad guy, he can get pwned right away. (Yep, he uses a spellbook for his magic, I've seen it)

25 Kite-Man

I know this guy isn't a superhero. He's not even "Super." I just put him on this list because he is pointless.
