Lamest? freshman year, the kid down the hall who ran around the dorm in just his tighty whities pretending to fight crime whenever he was drunk.

or maybe my friend who thought he was goku from dragonballz whenever he was drunk, and would "power up" and run around campus breaking glass windows by punching them.

drunk people are funny

Coolest - I want to say Thanos here, but until recently, hes been pretty much a villan, so Ill go with Spiderman.

Lamest - Dung Beetle (10,000 bonus points to anyone who knows what title hes from :))

I would go into more detail, but Im sure no one here wants to hear my endless rants on super-heros. Seeing as how I work in a Comic Shop, Ive had these discussions many a time :)

SO true. He has to be the lamest superhero ever. All the kids do the work for him, and a polluted river makes him weak. WTF????? He also looks like a green-skinned version of sting, and that can't be good.

<tunes>Captain Planet, he's our hero. Going to take pollution down to zero.</tunes>

He was my favorite until they really screwed up the storyline by killing off Stein. I read a while back that they were going to bring this comic back this year, I don't know if they did tho.

I kinda agree.. but just think of it.. He is able to get into interesting s3x positions because of his ability to fly and maintain his position in the air .. heck he could be tapping some a$$ at an altitude of 1,000 ft.. lol
And his ability to go back in time can mean re-living the same orga$m over and over.. lol
Now you still think he is lame?
hehe

If they killed off Professor Stein, how did Firestorm stay combined? If they bring it back, that'll be cool, I guess I have some Googling to do.

RangerX, The Tick rocks! Who else has nigh invulnerablity? I can't believe you voted him as lame. :D

I've watched the cartoons when I was little and I didn't think he was that great. Maybe it was because of all the stuff he was spewing in the cartoon. ;)

For a while he combined with some African dude, then with a Russian guy, then they got rid of Ronnie completely and it was just the Russian. It got really stupid near the end.

I thought Firestorm became a god or something at the end? Or he realized he was a god. Something like that.

I have far too many favorites to choose just one, but I can narrow it down to Iron Man, Adam Warlock, Wolverine, Silver Surfer, and Son Goku (nobody said they had to be American comic super heroes) ;)
The lamest superhero ever would have to be Aquaman. Oh teh noes!!! He can swims like teh fisheseses!!! Don't not teh hurts me fish man!!!

Aquaman's not so bad. He went head to head vs. Namor and dropped a whale on him.

That's gotta hurt.
