Re: Most absurd superhero?
The problem with this thread is that people have wildly varying definitions of the term "absurd."
I nominate Howard the Duck.A father taken by time, a brother dead by my own hand.
With this work behold my grief, in Stone and shifting sand.

Re: Most absurd superhero?
How would Collateral Damage Man be guaged? Sure he can destroy all most any enemy, but he also wrecks the city.

Re: Most absurd superhero?
Seems to be quite obscure, the only Dead-Man I could ind was the DC-ghost and a Marvel parody of said ghost.
And from a Cracked article I just remembered: The Eye. I just love the speeches this thing gives.
The list also has Fantomah.Last edited by Dscherro; 2013-02-11 at 02:17 PM.

Re: Most absurd superhero?
I'd say I was surprised.
But I'm not.
Godlike power is perhaps harder to be well written, but its certainly common enough to hardly be absurd.
Heck I heard once Galactus was begun by Kirby with the idea "what if the FF fight God" which suddenly makes those Heralds seem strangely appropriate.

Re: Most absurd superhero?
Two guys from 'Rising Stars' come to my mind:
Peter - micro-shield protecting him from any and all injuries making him invulnerable, but taking away all of his senses apart from sight and taste. Yup, his power made him nigh immortal (no super strength, agility or anyrhing like that, he just couldn't suffer any injury) but the only thing he could ever feel was food. Which left him terribly obesse
and Joshua /Sanctuary/- with his power of genderchanging.

Hate to tell you this, but that power is not that uncommon.

Re: Most absurd superhero?
Um, since a lot of taste is actually smell, that'd actually put me off a lot of food to be honest. I know when I have a really, really bad cold how a lack of sense of scents can alter 'taste'.
Edit: I'd pick gender changing as a power, assuming it was at will or at least easily done.Last edited by Ravens_cry; 2013-02-11 at 07:24 PM.

Re: Most absurd superhero?
Oh, I know. It's just stupid
and regarding Axe Cop - he was created as a parody, and OP posted we should refrain from parodies, as they are meant to be ridicullous

Re: Most absurd superhero?
Axe Cop, a parody? Yeah, okay. Next you'll be telling me that Munchkin is a parody, and Birdemic was meant to be taken seriously.

Oh I forgot a villain who has the power to control dairy. It's absurd, but he made it work.

Re: Most absurd superhero?
There were a number of TRULY corny Batman villains. Some have even had several remakes and still been corny (and on some odd occasions the remake has worked and the villain has gone from corny to truly creepy).
I am not familiar with Polka Dot Man, but I do know about Calendar Man, for example (he could only commit crimes on specific dates, AFAIR).Blizzard Battletag: UnderDog#21677

Re: Most absurd superhero?
And it's not true since 1986. Your sources are 17 years behind everybody else.
but….if you think of power to use…..you can't use it anymore….
And speaking of Doom Patrol, I shall now win this thread.

Re: Most absurd superhero?
Pure power wise? These guys and girls all beat him off hand.
In fact, I'd say Sailor Moon could solo both Supes and Goku at the same time as Neo Queen Serenity from the end of the series.
If you think Superman's the highest echelon of power, you haven't explored enough media.
Lucifer's original purpose was as "God's Lamplighter" and he has the canonical ability to CREATE STARS on top of having physical abilities superior to those of Superman, and is a reality alteration expert only paralled by the true Omnipotence of the Source. Solar the man of Atom creates and uncreates realities in fits of anger with the ease of a child lifting a toy. Neo Queen Serenity can freely grant life, and death while also possessing the power of every Sailor Scout to ever exist, including Sailor Saturn who dropped the Silence Glaive that blew up Earth in manga. While also being FAR more massively FTL than Superman or Goku.
Hell, read Saint Seiya, Hades at one point walks into a Galaxy and blows it up.
Dark Schnieder would also like a word, as would TTGL, as would Getter Emperor, as would Kidou Senshi Demonbane.
But my nomination, while not a superhero, happens to be my favorite thing in comics.
Snow Flame, his power? Cocaine.Last edited by Fan; 2013-02-12 at 11:50 AM.
