Lamest Villian Thread

[Kitsune]

Okay, I'm sure this has been done before, but I've never let that stop me.
The idea is to nominate the lamest villian in Marvel. Intentionally lame characters don't count. I will start the nominations with "Paste Pot Pete" who terrorized the Human Torch with what appeared to be a bucket of spooge. Even taking on the name Trapster hasn't helped.

Lamest Villan ever. Swiper from Dora the Exploring Illegal Imigrant. "Swiper no swiping!" "Oh, well, I guess I'll stop cause they asked me too." Lame.

He's not a real villain. He's not even much of a Bully. He just thinks he can get away with things if no one says otherwise.

Plus he's much nastier in the sequel series "Dora the Destroyer"

The Blob.

My vote goes to Hypno-Hustler...Stilt-Man deserves a mention too.

 

[Zoken]

Joker

 

[Crimson_L]

Bizzaro.

 

[Ben Urich]

Joker

Bizzaro

You two must be joking.

 

[Zoken]

I'm not. A guy gets his skin bleached, goes crazy, and all of a sudden he's the baddest dude in the city? WTF!?

I just think if they fleshed out his back story a bit I might find him more intimidating.

 

[Majik1387]

^What comics have you read including Joker?

 

[Zoken]

none, I'm going on the basis of him, the origin. I'm sorry, i don't read DC.

 

[Majik1387]

^Did you ever bother watching any of the cartoons?

 

[ibsisomis]

Joker's not lame and for that matter neither is the Blob. What makes Joker interesting is his relationship with batman. But if I had to say he'd be more lame than the Blob. Blod could kick quite a few "bruisers" butts. One that comes to mind is the Thing, maybe Luke Cage. I don't know this is just my 2 cents.

You read now.

I nominate Turner D. Century:

Powers and Abilities
Century had no inherent superpowers. He owned and used an umbrella that concealed a flamethrower, and rode a tandem bicycle (the rear seat was taken by a dummy wearing fashionable women's clothes of the pre-World War I era) that could fly by unknown means.

 

[Zoken]

what is the Joker's real name? what did he do before Batman bleached him? how is it he is able to create all these laughing gasses and command the loyalty of thugs?

(And yes I watched the cartoons, but I know it insults somepeople to take that as canon, so I didn't want to bring that up).

According to Tim Burton and his creative team - Jack Napier. In the comics, it's unknown.
Before the chemicals, he was basically a mobster type guy who was stopped by Batman in the chemical warehouse.
He has education on chemistry.
He uses henchmen when he wants, they stay cuz of how crazy and unpredictable he is and the living thugs don't wanna cross him.

Cartoons are pretty much as good as canon. This is referring to B:TAS & B:TNAS

 

[Zoken]

So according the comics... he's a generic mobster... who HAPPENS to have an education in chemistry (I'll even go so far as to assume Biochemistry) and gets pushed into a vat of chemicals that make him crazy. He has hench man because they're afraid of him... this makes very little sense

Not entirely. He was kind of 'out there' before, then after he fell into a vat of chemicals he just went crazier. He has mobsters for big plans, for small plans he usually takes care of it himself or with Harley.

 

[Zoken]

his story is weak. and... I just don't like him. I've thought of redoing it, like saying that the generic chemical he fell into was actually an experimenal smart drug. however since he was dosed with about a 100X of what he should have it completely warped him.

Apocalypse. Seriously. All that power. All that time.

And what the hell has he achieved? Nada. Zip. Zilcho.

Apocalypse isn't a poor a concept, he just suffers from poor writing. Truly lame villains have to be poor concepts, like Stilt-Man.

 

[The Overlord]

Joker

So your saying Joker is lamer than Stilt-Man???

Asbestos Man? I mean, congrat fella, you just gave yourself cancer. Same with Asbestos Lady.
