Poll question: Who is the suckiest superhero?

Which one has a super power that makes you say, "Ummm...yeah...ok"?

[illini]

1. Captain CAVEMAAAAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unga bunga!!!

[Blue-Jay]

5. Hanna Barbara cartoons do not count.

Also, I like "Cavie". Not as good as Hong Kong Phooey, but still fun.

2. Isn't Green Arrow the big liberal super-hero?

I never really got the whole Punisher thing.

So Charles Bronson has a comic book... big deal.

[Blue-Jay]

11. I never really considered the "liberalness" of a superhero.

Which reminds me, I probably should have included Captain Planet. He always got beat up until the little guy with the power of "heart" saved his ass. Lame.

[Mojambo]

19. They kind of make it an issue in his book

Liberal might not be the most precise term, but definitely more socially conscious.

3. Medusa was pretty lame

Her long strands of hair could...uh....envelop you, or something. Powerful stuff....not.

4. It's gotta be "Shaktimaan"

Real Name: Pandit Gangadhar Vidhyadhar Onkar Nath Shastri

Enemies: Kilvish and his followers

Base of Operations: India

Powers/Abilities: Shaktimaan is superstrong, can fly, and is invulnerable. Other powers unknown.

History: Shaktimaan was, as a child, adopted by seven "gurus" who trained and blessed him with "yogic shakti". This granted him superhuman powers when he grew up, which he used to become a defender of truth and justice. His first case involved stopping bank robbers.

Comments: Created by Mukesh Khanna, who also plays the character on television. The series was extremely popular in India, virtually from the moment it first aired on September 13th, 1997, so much so that the media reported children injuring themselves trying to imitate the lead character. This led to a court case which gave the show a clean bill of health (and actually praised it for it's message of good moral values), but there remains no question of the show's impact in India.

6. "invulnerable. Other powers unknown."

If you're invulnerable, do you really NEED other powers?

Invulnerable. Also makes a kickass grilled cheese sandwich.

[XNASA]

10. That's why Shaktimaan is so sucky.

You hit it right on the head.

[qnr]

18. I get your point, but it's better than, say, invulnerable, but can't

fly and tends to lose his grip while climbing.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Dude, wrong company - it's not Aquaman, it's the Sub-Mariner

Sub-Mariner - fuckin' hate him, always have. Makes me ill.

I don't know why.

[Blue-Jay]

17. I dunno. I thought Prince Namor kicked ass,

God, I'm a geek.

8. The Green arrow was cool only because Bruce Lee was his chauffeur

That is on TV.

[Swede]

13. Green Hornet,dude.

nt

[seriousstan]

25. Sorry. I am hosting the drinking thread and just happen to bounce in here

I should keep to what I do best. :toast:

[jandrok]

15. That was the Green HORNET, not the Green Arrow

[Emops]

9. Bibleman

[Reverend_Smitty]

12. Thats just lame!

n/t

[Blue-Jay]

14. Other powers: Kept Chachi from commiting statutory rape.

[NightTrain]

16. Magnetic Colon!

:evilgrin:

20. Doll Man was pretty sucky...

but in a good way. ;)

[Blue-Jay]

22. Suckier than Elmo the Wonder Dog?

What did Dollman do, anyhow?

[VioletLake]

23. I don't know the Doll Man saga.

But I do have an original Doll Man comic somewhere. He's a crimefighter, baby! I had no idea he had a dog named Elmo. LOL

[VioletLake]

21. My hubby says the suckiest superhero is

Lieber Man

[tjdee]

24. Batman is the suckiest.

He has no superpowers.

He's just a really talented inventor.

Unless there is some "bat sense" thing (which I suspect is something he thought up when someone called him the suckiest superhero), or something.

I never read his comics, but that's what I've gathered from the films.

[Blue-Jay]

26. Sucky, yes, but not suckier than Robin.

[tjdee]

27. Ah yes, but Robin is younger and cute.

That goes a long way.
:silly:
