Runner-Up - Green Lantern
Superpower: Orignally a green lantern (imagine that!) carved from a meteor, from which he created a ring that shines green. Green Lantern's powers are limited to his force of will as his ring is controlled by the limits of his imagination.
The Real Scoop: Both the green lantern and the ring were useless, and didn't really do anything. he was mortal and there were 4 or 5 Green Lanterns because: 1 died, 2 decided that they would become cooler super heroes, and the others realized how if someone stole his green ring he would become powerless.. thats a pretty lame superhero

Winner - Aquaman
Superpower: he can breathe underwater and talk to any sea creature using sonar
The Real Scoop: he couldn't be out of the water for extended periods of time, and so what if you can talk to sea creatures.. you can obviously just run away from Aquaman by going onto land where he has absolutely no powers. wtf is that about.

Tie: Captain Atom / The Ant

The story: Their super-ability was being able to shrink themselves down to insect-size or smaller. The Ant was also had a special helmet which allowed him to communicate with other ants.

They didn't really fight criminals...their jobs usually involved crawling inside a bomb to defuse it or something...they considered it a good day if they didn't get squashed by their own team-members.

i wasn't much of a fan to any "superheroes" without natural powers... i guess like batman.. i mean he's the good guy and i still rooted for him and he had nifty gadgets.. but what would he be without them? normal?

splinter? you mean the rat from teenage mutant ninja turtles? hehehe..

imammy · 02-06-2004, 07:29 AM

yep...that's the splinter :D i guess he wasn't much of a superhero, or wuld even be classified as one...more of just a worthless character. Now Casey from TMNT was badass.

I don't think you can seperate sidekicks from superheroes, that's like saying " you can't come in the Justice League, your house is out back"

But there is a difference, Superman is a superhero, Batman is a vigilante.
