The Worst Superheros...Ever.

Everyone enjoys watching a great hero. Someone who stands up for what is right in the darkest hour, even if the hero in question has their own flaws (even more interesting then). But, what happens when we have heroes that we don't really want to root for?

I looked up a few superheros that had less than spectacle attitudes, powers, etc. but the best article to display horrible heroes would be an old Dorkshelf article called, "Top 10 Superheroes Way Lamer Than Aquaman." 

After reading the article, I agree with pretty much all of them. Except Squirrel Girl, but that's because I like Squirrel Girl. 

Anyways, I just thought of an ensemble comic book idea that could be equally stupid as it would be hilarious. 

I kind of want to know if that would be a good superhero story, so I may try my hand at a little fan fiction. I am not 100% sure yet, but it could be a fun little project. Still, my favorite horrible superhero would be none of these amazing characters. It would be...

Red Bee and his trusty sidekick, Michael. I can't even make this up!

Red Bee

Red Bee is a pretty horrible character. His only ability is to control swarms of bees. Outside of his useless ability, Red Bee has a "stinger gun" and a pet bee named Michael. Michael literally lives in Red Bee's belt and is only used for "special" situations. I shutter at the thought that a bee would be anyway near my body, let alone my belt. 

Hopefully, you learned a little bit about horrible superheroes to impress your friends, because I can almost guarantee your girlfriend/boyfriend does not care.

Let me know in the comments what your favorite horrible superheroes are and if you would like me to write a short fan fiction story about horrible heroes.
