The Spellbinder. Funnily enough, he was originally a Batman villain (Detective 358, Dec 1966).
Well, I have to tell you it was more than a bit disappointing to find out that Darth Vader became DARTH VADER because he was an easily-controlled snot with mommy issues.
No, he’s not the lamest ever but DV has undergone quite a severe fall from his Big Bad days of '77-'99.
For someone who is actually a well known villain, The Riddler is pretty damn weak.
To quote Sean Baby:
Easily: Stilt-man and The Kangaroo.
Poor Stilty. Killed by being shot in the crotch by a rocket launcher. “Not the end I’d wish for, lad.”
Eye-Scream can turn himself into any flavor of ice cream.
Damn you, I just spent 40 minutes on that website laughing my ass off. It’s all so true!
I found these guys looking for that other Legion of villians… they seemed pretty lame.
C’mon, show some sympathy. He’s a guy with a lumpy helmet versus one of the most formidable superheroes going. You have to wonder what he thought he was doing. I’m not even sure he could hold down a good job with a power like that.
When I asked some comic book experts for the lamest Marvel villains, the first one that came to mind was the Kangaroo. Alas, I had to make do with the Rhino, since the Kangaroo was dead (or was at the time. With comics, death tends not to stick).
And, one hopes, a bidet.
The entire villain crew from Under Seige 2 with maybe the exception of the hot chick.
A definite contendah. I’d put him with Kangaroo and Stilts in the Leg Envy department. Kinda makes you wonder what difference between being really good at something and having an super power is.
I agree
Two came to my mind.
From the Flash’s Rogues Gallery comes Rainbow Raider, who became a criminal because he’s colorblind.
And in Superman’s corner is Terra-Man. I don’t know much about the current incarnation of the character, but originally he had an Old West theme, with futuristic alien weapons that looked like six-shooters and lariats and such.
He also had one of the most convoluted and stupid origins. Why was he called Terra-Man? Well, you see, he was from Earth…
Torgo from Manos and the Hands of Fate. I’m still not entirely sure he was supposed to be a villian he was so bad.
What about Ambush Bug?
His only powers seem to be Teleportation, and being annoying.
Unless mental illness is a superpower.
Ambush Bug is a super hero not a villain.
How is that less laughable?
He started as a villain, then switched sides so he could pester Superman more often & more effectively. Or something.
Yeah, but Darth could actually do things. Granted, the Sith Lord had him totally pwned, but he could strangle people and slice them up with his light saber and he had a pretty intimidating voice. Which put him way ahead of The Riddler, and light years ahead of Torgo, who was, let’s face it, severely disabled and probably retarded.
In the movie category, I have to give the nod to Torgo, so far. He just wasn’t very good at anything, and bad at most things. Bet he smelled bad, too.
