It gets worse than that. Do you remember Colonel Gumm, a stamp-collecting villain?
Ugh. Machinesmith was born in Memphis.
The Calculator. Appeared in DC comics in the late 70’s, usually fighting the likes of Green Arrow in the back pages of magazines belonging to to other heroes. He wore a god-awful purple and white outfit with a big keypad over his chest and an LED read-out over his eyes. Pocket calculators were the new high-tech thing at the time, you see. His ability, as I recall, was that he would calculate his attacks to exploit his opponent’s weaknesses. Batman eventually got rid of him bytricking him into trapping himself in an escape-proof cage he had calculated would hold Batman forever.
I’d have tricked him into keying in “5138008” and then hanging him upside down in a bat-trap. Then when people looked at his eyes, they’d all laugh and point at him until he retired out of humiliation.
They’d laugh because it should have been “5318008” of course :rolleyes:
And then there was False-Face, whose power was the ability to wear masks. Thing is, his masks made him look exactly like the people he was trying to impersonate, but his actual face looked like just a really shitty mask!
I actually like White Rabbit and I wish they’d bring her back.

Wait a minute! Razorback was a villain? I thought he was the truckin’ superhero!
But I don’t have the original issues.
(I really want to do a Razorback comic. I really really want to do a Razorback comic.)
For sheer villanous ineptitude, it’s hard to compete with Mr. Fish.
Ugh! Looks like th Submariner having a bad scale day! :eek:
Unfortunately, yes. Wasn’t that the same actor who played Harcourt Fenton Mudd in the Original Star Trek series?
Oh, you’re just saying that because she had a short skirt, a long jacket, and bunny ears…
What am I saying? Now I want her back! 
Razorback was a hero who first appeared in Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man, although he and Spidey duked it out at first in the inimitable tradition of early Marvel Team-Ups. He was a hero designed to cash in on the CB craze and he spoke an argot only a trucker could understand. He was stronger than a normal man and had an electrified hood. Razorback was a pretty stupid hero.
I think that Egg Fu, the sinister oriental egg that faced Wonder Woman, has to win some kind of prize. I’d forgotten about this thing, until I stumbled across it in an issue of Ambush Bug highlighting DC’s most embarrassing moments. Even in 1966 it seemed not only silly but racist.
To my utter surprise, John Byrne brought it back in 1997:

You really want to bring back a character who was once defeated by “Gibbon the Boy Monkey”?
