General Dysfunction: Worst Superhero • Page 3

Arm-Fall-Off-Boy, but that's not a choice in the poll.

Superman has lots of interesting stories and themes to explore, my favorite being Red Son.

 

actually Dead Pool is the worst. that movie is cancer.

 

bias: superman cus i hate that whole "WELL TECHNICALLY HE COULD THROW YOU INTO THE SUN" shit

honestly outside that? i dont know, i tend to value heroes off their villains they deal with.

 

literally, Deadpool literally has cancer

 

time to ban whoever voted for baby groot

 

Don’t worry. The Best Superhero (Shrek Only Edition) is gonna be fire

 

Dayman is the greatest superhero of all time. He just uses karate and forced friendship like a badass.

 

I saw that smh bye sanch

 

Ugh, can't stand that coaster.

The Bizarro coaster (fka Medusa) is sweet though, and that's a Superman villain at least.

 

what the fuck guys. literally what are you basing the superman sucks argument off of? the generic and silly "he's so overpowered, he's uninteresting" shit? come on

but wait is this just the movies bc if so im not as heated. but if this is including comics too? then this is just a bad take

 

He boring

 

he isn't but also even if he was that's hardly superman's fault, that's just bad writing and surely there is one superman arc written by one of the literal hundreds of writers that is for you. as it happens there are lots of great ones! All Star Superman by Grant Morrison is excellent and shows what Superman does in his final days when he knows he's gonna die. The New 52 beginning arc of Superman, also written by Grant Morrison, is also cool and shows him early in his career as he tries to help people via activist reporting. it also features him a tad depowered (like, he can't quite fly yet for example) and it's got a cool Peter Parker vibe but a little more leftist in nature because he's actually a reporter. His origin story written by Geoff Johns is pretty cool as well

for anyone that is interested, there are lots of cool Superman stories out there

the argument that he's boring usually stems from a desire for things to be dark or gritty or from a lack of imagination of how you can test superman when he admittedly has all these god like powers. idk being a beacon of hope in a fictional universe that is constantly going to shit is very cool and very brave and a superman that reflects the times he's written in should almost always be something to strive for as a human being imo

 

I’m basing that solely on the premise of the character. He does not interest me is all

I’m sure there are good Superman stories written around him, but he as a character doesn’t appeal to me

 

With that said, if I could be any superhero it’d probably be Superman or Wolverine

 

fair enough, i suppose i can't change that but i would argue if you reduce a lot of comic book characters to a premise they sound lame. like, Tim Drake is probably my favorite character in all of comics and if i just said "preteen decides Batman needs a Robin and recruits himself for the job even though Batman says no" idk how interesting that is

if i could be anyone in comics it'd be John Constantine tho cause magic is sick and also he consistently cheats death and im pretty sure he isn't depressed or anything

 

Wonder Woman a close second tho, but also Renee Montoya as the Question, anyone in the Batfam bc they're all rich as fuck and it'd be nice not to worry about money, uuuuuh Static is also real fuckin cool. damn idk there's so many

 

Let me amend my statement, if I could still be me but have someone’s powers. I do not want to be Logan haha

 

Logan's healing factor seems sick but i don't want to live forever

still sticking with any of the people I mentioned but it's a major plus if you can fly bc i would totally dig ditching my car and saving on travel costs every months

 

I’m terrified of dying, I’d definitely opt to live forever if I could. Yes, everyone I know would die but I need to see the aliens. I feel like this conversation might be best suited for Best Superhero, though in that thread I will definitely choose Shrek.

 

living forever just seems exhausting tbh

 

It took this thread to finally provide evidence that we aren’t the same person :p

 

there had to be one thing hahaha. idk even if my brain chemistry was at tip top shape and everyone else i loved was around, living forever still sounds exhausting. just big vast endless monotony. i get tired just thinking of it i need a nap

 

the fact that statistically I'll live another 50 years sounds way too long as is
