Top 5 Useless Marvel Characters

For Best Reading Experience, Checkout the Original Post at ‘The Boring SuperHero’.

All of us will agree on the fact that Marvel always manages boost up the excitement of its comic readers with its super awesome characters and their superpowers. Every storyline of Marvel comics includes a great story and introduces lots of new characters to the world. Some of these characters are legendary at present day. Let it be superheroes like Spiderman and Iron man, or supervillains like Doctor Doom and Thanos, every character of the Marvel comics is a legend in its own. But since its birth, Marvel has also created some rare characters which are completely useless characters, and which were absolutely hated by the readers. So in this post we will discuss about five of the most useless characters and their useless superpowers which were never liked by the audience.

Useless Marvel Characters

Before reading further, please keep in mind that there are many more such useless characters who exist in the Marvel universe, but according to us these are the top five place holders. With this being informed, let’s begin our countdown.

5) Paste Pot Pete

What can you expect from a guy with such a name? First of all, let’s talk about his costume. If you take a look at his costume then you will be like Awww yuck!. His costume is not like any powerful supervillain, rather it looks like a fancy dress outfit which can be easily made by any normal guy.

Moreover, just like his name says paste, his superpower is throwing toothpaste (or something like that) on others with the help of a gum gun. Yes, it seems absurd that in a universe like Marvel, where supervillains like Magneto and Loki exist, there exists a guy who throws toothpaste on the superheroes. Just imagine that someday we get to see this character in MCU, how hard it will be to tolerate the movie.

It would even be a nightmare come true if he appears as a main villain in an Avengers movie. But the most mind wobbling fact about this character is that we have got to see this character in more than ten issues of the Marvel comics where he is literally featured fighting great superheroes like Spiderman and the Fantastic Four.

4) Ruby Thursday

We all will agree on the fact that Marvel focuses a lot on its female characters. Their superpowers, their beauty and their outfits, Marvel tries to keep everything perfect for its female characters because of some controversies of the past.

But then there are characters like Ruby Thursday, who is literally useless. You can just figure this out from her looks. A sexy and revealing body with a red orb as her head. Now if we come to her superpower then it may one of the most useless superpowers you may have ever heard of.

Basically she has two superpowers, one is to produce tentacles from the red orb head which seems a bit cool, but the second power is literally useless. The power is that she can dismantle her head from her body and control both separately. Due to increasing hate towards this characters, the writers decided to erase this character from the comics very soon after her first appearance.

3) Hindsight Lad

This superhero lies in the list of the Superheroes who have no superpowers. But please don’t compare this idiot to other superheroes like Iron man and Batman, because even if they don’t have any superpowers they still have resources to fight villains. But on the other hand this Hindsight Lad is so useless that he doesn’t fight any supervillains, not even thugs.

His superpower is that he can tell you exactly when your favorite TV show is going to be aired on television. You can literally ask him about any freaking movie or TV show timing and he will have it ready. How is this even a superpower? Every idiot who spends his entire day on a couch infront of a television can tell you the stuffs that he can say. God knows what was going on in the mind of the creators when they created this idiot.

2) Hell Cow

Oh God! This list is just getting weirder. Now at number two we have a superhero who is a cow and a vampire too. Lord knows is it a male or a female, but as it is a cow hence we’ll take it as a female. If you know about the sexuality of this character than please let others know by mentioning it at the comments section at the bottom of this page.

The origin story of this character is that when a vampire bit a cow, it turned into a vampire cow. WTF? This is all about its origin and if we talk about its superpowers, then its only superpower is that it is a cow who walks on two legs.

But the most mind shaking fact about this character is that in the comics it had even teamed up with Deadpool for a long period of time, where they have been shown fighting crimes and going on adventures together. A weird guy with a weird cow, what an idiotic thing to watch.

1) Leather Boy

Finally, we have the most useless character of the entire Marvel Universe standing at number one in our list. But before telling you about him, an honest request is that please don’t start imagining that he will be some elastic character like Mr. Fantastic, because he doesn’t deserve that. Now let’s find out who exactly is he? Leather Boy is a Superhero of Marvel Universe who is also a part of the Great Lakes Avengers team in the comics. If you don’t know what the hell it is, then you are doing great in life, because Great Lakes Avengers team is the most ignored and useless team of Marvel. The members of this team can be easily defeated by a group of teenagers. But there were some modifications to this team with time. The writers even thought of placing famous superheroes like Deadpool and Hawkeye in this team in order to increase the interest of fans, but it didn’t work.

Now let’s return back to our Leather Boy. So this guy’s outfit will surely make you remember some old 80s horny people and if we talk about his superpowers then it is ‘Nothing’, literally nothing. This freak is even more useless than the background dancers of the Bollywood movies, because even they are doing something.

The only thing that Leather boy does while in a battle is to simply stand at a corner and watch his friends fighting the enemies, and nothing. Atleast he can use a baseball bat to fight the criminal as we can even accept that, but no, he only wants to stand at a corner and watch the fight like it’s a 3D action movie. He is just in the team as a filler element who seems to be there because the writers just wanted to fill a vacant spot in the team. How is he even a superhero? God knows what the writers consumed while creating this character.

So this was our list of the top 5 most useless characters of the Marvel Universe. We hope you liked it. If you think there are some other characters which are more useless than the characters in this list then do let us know in the comments below, and we’ll include them in the part 2 of this post.
