lamest Super Hero Ever

[buena_vista]

You're all wrong! Anyone remember --- Razorback??

 

and his truck The Big Pig?

 

Or was that his wife?

 

His wife, I believe

[COI]

Superman.

 

Just think about it......

I think two of the responses were Question and Answer.

 

C'mon thats funny

Okay, okay...hate on this.

Silver Surfer. Come on, a guy chosen to become a herald of a god (Galactus) and travel through space seeking out worlds to feed his master's hunger and the best they can come up with is a sleek-skinned, bald-headed dude that rides a surfboard? I say again...HE RIDES A SURFBOARD!!

Clearly, the ones that followed (Terrax, Firelord, Nova) made better inter-planetary heralds.

(All of this said, I'd give my eye's teeth for a 9.6 copy of FF # 48.)

Go read the first series that was drawn by Buscema, then tell me how "lame" he is.

I have to strongly disagree with you John on Metamorpho. I personally think he is one of the best, most under-appreciated characters of the silver age.

 

Now, Speedball and most of the New Warriors on the other hand ... that's a different story. And can someone please explain Power Pack to me?

 

Shhhhhhhhh Sslly. I haven't completed my Metamorpho run yet.

 

He is way cool (love the teamups in B&B)

Agreed...still the best rendition of the Surfer IMHO!

He rides a surfboard...nothing wrong with that. But through space? Couldn't Jack and Stan come up with a better way for him to cruise the cosmos? Personally, I have nothing against the Surfer and if Galactus was about to make like Anna Nicole at Denny's and chomp down on terra firma...I'd become a fan quick.

All I'm saying is a surfboard isn't quite what I would have expected for an inter-planetary traveler to utilize as a means of getting around.

Can't believe we've gotten this far without someone mentioning VIBE-the illconceived break dancing banji boy from the last few Justice League's of the late eighties. But then againsome of his team-mates would qualify too if anyone had been able to get thru the dreck.

Ah, Truth is spoken!

 

Justice League: Detroit, starring Vibe, Gypsy, Vixen, Steel Jr., others? The Platonic ideal to which lame super-heroes-- and specifically ill-conceived super-team re-boots-- aspire!

U.S. One

I liked all the dozens of people who tried out for the Legion of Super-Heroes but got rejected. Most notable of which is, of course, Arm-Fall-Off Boy. And he kept making crowd appearances in several issues after his turn-down that it became a where's Waldo experience.

 

Of course, some of the Legion of Substitute Heroes were winners, too. Like Stone Boy.

I was a big fan of Deflator Mouse and The Lemming from The Tick.

Ahhh.......good old Floyd Belkin. It's a good thing that ability didn't land between his legs.

Just so these guys don't get the impression that DCs are lamer than they really are (see: Vibe, etc.), we ought to point out that "Arm-Fall-Off Boy" was-- I believe-- an intentional 1980s spoof of the original lame 1960-1970s Legion rejects.

Yes, very true. I should've made that clear. But dang, that was funny.

[Bugaboo-migration]

Floyd Belkin. But please, call me "splitter!"

Right. I can see how this....ability would unnerve an enemy....

......I know it creeps me out....

.....and Arm-Fall-Off-Floyd would be a much better name.

Think he'd fall appart under pressure?

 

[ArAich]

Bug....check out the original Floyd Belkin...

 

[chrisco37]

Okay, okay...hate on this. Silver Surfer.

 

BLASPHEMY!!!!!

 

He was given the surfboard b/c of the surf craze that was sweeping the nation in the 60's (remember "Endless Summer"?).
