FIVE OF THE LAMEST VILLAINS IN MARVEL COMICS

In a universe full of some of the greatest superheroes that ever lived you’d think all we’d get would be the toughest villains in marvel comics.  However, that is not always the case.  Sometimes we get the absolute lamest villains in marvel comics.  The list is long if you look back over the many decades marvel has been publishing comics, but here are five that just really stand out from the rest.

EEL

This guy’s claim to the lamest villains in marvel comics is that he’s basically a poor man’s version of the Spider-Man villains Shocker or Electro.   He has no powers and no special skills save being decent at hand-to-hand combat.  He just has a grease covered suit that can shoot electricity.  Not to mention the costume was poorly conceived and just looks lame.  This guy didn’t stand a chance.

MATADOR

When talking about the lamest villains in marvel comics you can’t leave this guy off.  He was literally just a matador.  He carried a sword, but had no powers and no special suits, yet he took Daredevil down.  I don’t know what marvel was thinking with this one, but he shouldn’t even be considered one of the villains in marvel comics, he should just be a stupid guy who got too big for his britches.

STILT-MAN

Another one of the sad villains in marvel comics Daredevil had to contend with, this guy just had a suit with long legs more or less.  No powers, no enhancements, and he was disposed of quickly even back then when lame villains in marvel comics were standard fare.  Shame, marvel, shame.

LEAP-FROG

Villains in marvel comics were lame by the dozens back in the day, and this one is no exception.  The only thing that made this guy a villain was a backpack/exoskeleton that enabled him to leap long distances.  No other powers or abilities, he could just jump a lot.  Poor Spider-Man was riddled with some lame animal-themed villains in marvel comics.

WALRUS

Speaking of Spider-Man villains in marvel comics, this was another one of the unfortunate buffoons the wall-crawler had to contend with.  Dressed in a suit that resembled a walrus, this guy wasn’t bent on world domination or even thievery.  All he cared about was property damage.  He had some enhanced strength, but mainly the guy liked doing crossword puzzles and did no real harm.  This definitely lands him a place in the lamest villains in marvel comics.

And these are just scratching the surface.  There are plenty of other lame villains in marvel comics.  What marvel was thinking back then is anyone’s guess.  Yes, the books were more kid-friendly in those days, but kids aren’t that dumb.
