Since I know them best, here are some of the lamest villains from silver age Wonder Woman

 

The Blob - a rock'n'roll blob. http://www.sufferingsappho.com/wrap/first/first151.jpg

 

The Human Fireworks -- he was a bunch of fireworks with a face in it.

Mouse Man - a 6" guy wearing a yellow mouse suit. http://www.sufferingsappho.com/wrap/first/first141.jpg

 

Egg Fu - A gigantic Chinese egg with a lethal moustache. http://www.sufferingsappho.com/wrap/first/first158.jpg

 

The Crimson Centipede - a guy who had the body of a centipede. http://www.sufferingsappho.com/wrap/first/first169.jpg

 

And my vote for lamest...

 

Paper Man -- he was a big piece of newspaper shaped like a man. http://www.sufferingsappho.com/wrap/first/first165.jpg

Alas, Scottish, I cannot take credit. But I felt you had to see those lame villains to believe that I wasn't making them up for the thread. Robert Kanigher was writing the book at that time and he was a bit of a wacko, according to one source. But very imaginative. He created the Metal Men and wrote their first issue in a single weekend.

Tough critic! I thought the Brood issues were pretty good, and Paul Smith did a fine job replacing the pencillers after Byrne left. Its the issues after 175 that I have a bone to pick with grin.gif

How about "The Avant Guard" from Web of Spidey? Think its issue #75 or so. I would agree that Spidey has the lamest foes...but, he also has the best! And it seems the breakdown is this:

 

ASM -Good Villains

Web - Bad

PP - Worst
