The Most Ridiculous Superheroes Ever

Ridiculous comic book superheroes come in all shapes and sizes. And these are the characters voted by many to be the most ridiculous superheroes of all time. Sometimes it's not the stupid heroes' fault; they were written to serve a very specific comic book function — their unique niche — and no one had a plan for the character after that. Other times they were just a product of time period where they were more appropriate. 

Even so, many of these funny and silly comic book characters should probably have been written out of the series long before they were. Despite how dumb and useless some of these protagonists and powers may seem (many don't have powers at all and are some of the weakest, most fake “superheroes” you'll find), in some ways these lesser known superheroes act as a clever contrast to the more prominent characters we know and adore. The superhero world doesn't have to be so serious, and these more obscure, weird, and widely unknown entries provide us some of the funniest, most unusual, and perhaps even dumbest ideas explored throughout the comic realm. 

That strange and random nature arguably makes it all the more fun, and while some of these concepts are undoubtedly bad and absurd, many would argue that the many odd entries on this list still make for a good time. Sometimes these cheesy, often hilarious, superhero characters simply outgrew the context they were in. You'll find a plethora of Marvel and DC character names on this list, though there are numerous other goofy entries round it all out.
