10. Cat Man- If this wasn't a DC character, The guys that brought us Batman, then I would of said that this was just a case of a rival comic house trying to feed off the Batman's popularity by creating an identical character with a few subtle differences, so as to not incur a copyright lawsuit. However it is DC who created this character....... Batman's homosexual, lame cousin
9. Angle Man- This guy was written as a quick villain for Wonder Woman by DC, come on.....again! This guys only notable power is that he has a device called the angler which can cause things that he wants to fly towards him??? Or cause him to fly to them, and it lets him warp gravity.....which wouldn't be a problem for Wonder Woman as she can fly. Not a well thought out character.
8. 3D man- Yay, the first Marvel character on the list.....This guy is described as having enhanced strength and enhanced speed, and his most bizarre power, the power to sense Skrulls( an alien race in the Marvel universe)......There are people alive today who have enhanced strength and speed, steroids hello. So this guys only power is that he can sense alien Skrulls......Pretty useless in between Skrull invasions.
7. Earl of Greed- Hmm, I wonder if he is a bad guy?? DC are so guilty of giving allot of there characters really obvious sounding names. Just in chase you are in doubt as to were they fall on the good/bad scale.....This is one of the best examples. This guys has the power to manipulate people with thoughts of being rich and powerful......Is that a power?
6. Squirrel Girl- Ahhh, this is proof that the comic bizz was running out of animals, and quickly. She has all the attributes of a Squirrel, and she can communicate with them......I think they let her into The Avengers either out of pity or a joke.
5. The Question- This guy is actually one of my favorite comic book Characters of all time. He is very obscure though..... He has no face, and suddenly this makes him a superhero? He has no powers at all, he is just a detective..... without a face, Thats the big hook.
4. Angela and the Ape- Hahahaha, I could not believe this when I first read about it!!!! This must of been in the time period when Marvel were kicking DC's butt in comic sales and they were just grasping at straws! A private detective and a giant Gorilla solve crimes in the big city.......Priceless.
3. Hawk and Dove- Two Brother Super heroes, in the same mold as Captain planet, as they have more of a political message than they do any genuine super human abilities..... They both can fly and are super strong. Brother Hawk represents aggression and Brother Dove Represents pacifism( A challenging view point for a superhero). They only ever save the day when they work together......Excuse me while I go have a big fat orgasm over world peace....
2. Granny Goodness- No its not a joke Thats her actual name.....Even when DC name a villain ironically, they still make it so dam obvious.....Apart from having a weird power rod, her only power is that she is a huge bitch.
1. Vigilante- No, I am not having a go at DC comics......I love DC comics, they are my favorite Comic house.....They have just made some very, very odd characters over the years... This guy is just a wild west gun slinger who is transported to the future( Only in some story lines, Most story lines are about his antics in the west)......He is also in the Justice league of America, which is weird as his guns are out dated and those are his only offensive power.
Co-#1. Two Gun Kid - This guy is just a wild west gun slinger who is transported to the future( Only in some story lines, Most story lines are about his antics in the west)......He is also in the Avengers, which is weird as his guns are out dated and those are his only offensive power.
