The superhero can be from comics, movies or tv shows. I think "superhero" is explanatory enough for terms.

My vote is Apache Chief. He's a stereotypical indian that can... grow. If you were a towering behemoth, what would you do? Step on bad guys, right? Of course not. You would pick up bears and place them back in the woods. Your nemesis would also be a giant woman. How epic are those battles going to be? "You can't hit me, I'm a girl!" "Well, I guess you're right."

You get the point. Proceed.

As much as I love him, I gotta say Batman. He's just a really rich dude. If I were rich enough to be able to workout all the time/ was a mild genius, I'd pretty be Batman. He ain't got no super powers.

Could be worse. Could be Aquaman. He's got powers and STILL sucks.

**Roze**

Aqua man.......nuf said.

**BrookM**

Aquaman, or as Black Vulcan would say: White Fish.

**youngblood**

Ya, but when the world is covered in water in 2300, Aquaman will be the only superhero left.

True point about him sucking though. I forgot he was one.

**Ahtman**

Blackbolt

Prince Namor would kick Aquamans silly a$$
As for lamest "hero" Elongated man,not as interesting as Reed Richards or funny as Plasticman,just an unnecery streatchy wannabe.

**reds8n**

Pfft Aquaman is actualy pretty rock.

I'm tempted to go for the Dogwelder but I guess actually welding dead dogs to people's faces is fairly useful.

So... it either has to be original The Red Bee-- fear his slightly controllable pet bees!

Or this guy

I never understood the Cyclops-hate.

**barlio**

I'm going with Wonder Woman.

Checklist of Crap:
1. Invisible Jet- I think she can fly, but lied about owning a jet so now she has to fly around in a sitting position.
2. Rope that makes people tell the truth- Men don't know what the truth is half the time and women are incapable of being truthful 90% of the time. Real effective item.
3. Indestructible Bracelets- Ok I'm going to aim for your face instead of your wrist.
4. Closet Lesbian- Island without men? We know you dig the chicks.
5. She can talk to animals- Ok since dogs spend half their day anyway licking their junk do we need to know what's going through their minds? I think not.

**Cannerus_The_Unbearable**

I have a particularly awesome panel involving Aquaman in my Teen Titans 1 collection. It features Aquaman, an aqua servant and his aqua wife holding their aqua baby. The aqua servant is holding a newspaper which reads "Teen Titans Join Peace Corps!" and Aquaman says something to the effect of "Maybe the peace corps could use someone like me?" and his aqua wife says "I think we could use you right here! Isn't that right, Aqua Baby?" and Aqua Baby says "Ga ga da da!"

And read any Frank Miller Batman stuff and you'll change your mind. Although he did just freak out and get replaced by Dick Grayson in the current continuum.

**warpcrafter**

Robin. Not only is he not gifted with super-powers, he's just a little kid, and to those who are not comic-book nerds he makes Batman look like a bit of a perv. Beside which, there were multiple Robins, and in my opinion, being replaceable is the opposite of a superpower.

**gorgon**

See, I think Matter-Eater Lad tops Arm Fall Off Boy. AFOB was supposed to be a joke. MEL was a legit member of the Legion. I mean, they hired the guy thinking his power would be useful.

**Nofasse 'Eadhunta**

Superman. Die moar.

**malfred**

Dog Welder rules. Haters better scat.

Oh yeah ! And how else are you going to get rid of that pesky old miracle machine when you need to eh ? Eh ? Answer me that !

**Excommunicate Traitoris**

Aquaman - he can breathe underwater and talk to the fish. He has the same powers as Spongebob

**Deff Dread red Edition**

Batman,but at least he is good for one thing:

**BrookM**

feth YOU FRANK MILLER.

**Redbeard**

Aquaman - because he can talk to fish.

Do you know how long a fish's memory lasts? Less than a minute. Here's a sample dialog:

Aquaman: Hi there Trout

Trout: Oh hi Aquaman, I didn't see you there. What are you doing here?

Aquaman: Hey, I'm chasing these bad guys. You haven't seen anyone swim past have you?

Trout: Oh hi Aquaman, I didn't see you there. What are you doing here?

Aquaman: Yeah, we covered that. They were in a two-man submarine. You didn't see a submarine go past did you?

Trout: Oh hi Aquaman, I didn't see you there. What are you doing here?

Aquaman: ...

There is none lamer.

I just never liked him, don't have a good reason. He always seemed to be the 'uncool' one in X-Men. Wolverine, Colossus, Jean Grey, Storm, Nightcrawler, and...yeah, Cyclops. Of course, I haven't picked up an X-Men comic since before issue 200, so I remember John Byrne and the Brood saga.

they say goldfish got no memory
i guess their lives are much like mine
the little plastic castle
is a surprise every time
it's hard to say if they are happy
when they don't seem much to mind

-Ani DiFranco, Little Plastic Castle

The State (a skit comedy show on MTV, years and years ago, with a good chunk of the cast now on Reno 911), had a great skit. The whole Justice League is gathered, and someone (Lex Luthor, maybe?) is going to blow up the world. Superman starts giving orders, he's going here, and Wonder Woman will get in the invisible jet and go there, and Batman will do this, and Flash will race to here. And then he looks at Aquaman (who is sitting there looking pathetic), "and, Aquaman, why don't you.... go talk to the fish! Bwah-ha-ha." At which point, all the JLers start to laugh at him too.
