is a pretty literal codename where a doorman (DeMarr Davis) can transport people from room to room. The problem is, the rooms have to be next to each other. He basically saves others the time of turning the key in the lock.
Marvel's 's own description of the doorman reads like trying to dress the proverbial pig in a nice dress. The gatekeeper's power comes from his connection to the dark power dimension (there's a connection to Doctor Strange there). He can fly and is invulnerable, so he has that advantage. The
doorman also has "death sense" and can manipulate the dark forces. All abilities of the doorman appear to be passive or defensive. So what the authors are saying is that, again, he basically saves everyone else the time of turning the key in the lock.
Despite the powers of an efficient high school administrator, the doorman has been a longtime member of the Great Lakes Avengers. For those unfamiliar, imagine the Avengers as a baseball team and one day they were all too sick to play. They tried calling the West Coast Avengers, but they were all out of town. That's when the Great Lakes Avengers will play.
Doorman is unlikely to be Disney Plus' next series.
9. Wire Bonder
For creator Steve Dillon, this could be a momentary moment of madness. His psychic offspring, Dogwelder, is honestly named after him. He welded the dead dog's body to the criminal's face.
Dogwelder (real name unknown) began his "career" as a member of Section 8 - a rag-tag group founded by alcoholic Sixpack. After the band disbanded, he took part in his dog welding show alone. Marvel's own website lists Dogwelder's abilities as "Dogwelding". That's it.
DC describes his "weapon" as follows: "Dogs: Dogwelder welds dogs to people". They really don't use this to cover the lead. To add to his already energetic likability, Dogwelder trapped and killed dogs himself, then stuck them in people's folds.
So, is Dogwelder more than just dog welding? No. He never speaks. He never showed up, and the only weakness he listed was "a strong compulsion to weld dogs into people's faces".
At best, Warner Bros. could use a Steve Buscemi-type Dogwelder cameo in the next Suicide Squad. In the event of an astronomical number, remember you read it here first.
8. Big Berthaz
Big Bertha is the antithesis of body positivity. She possesses the ability to control the fat tissue in her body and uses this ability to make herself a famous supermodel. Concept alone, the Big Bertha is a tough selling point for the modern test audience.
Bertha was born in Ashley Crawford, and her mutant abilities also gave her super strength and durability. Of course, the downside to her larger state is that her stamina takes a big hit.
Big Bertha is also a member of Tony Stark 's "C" team, the Great Lakes Avengers. Bertha's modeling career funded GLA, and her penthouse was the original GLA headquarters. For perspective, a young woman who is in complete control of her body fat is valued because she makes enough money as a supermodel to fund teams that value her fatness when she needs to fight.
As a superhero, Bertha's contributions had little impact, and she and the other Great Lakes Avengers heroes were fired.
Avengers Unification representative Deadpool met with GLA to tell them to stop mediocre heroism and stop using the Avengers name. Unabashed, the mouthful of Merc explained that people "don't like" them at all.
7. stone boy
There are several literal names on this list, and Stone Boy is no exception. If he's a "stone thrower," he might have a useful talent. "Stone Melter" is even more valuable than Stone Boy. Dagwentim, you guessed it, the man known as the Stone Boy, turned into stone.
Ben Grimm turned into stone, turned into The Thing! Being a living rock can't be all bad. The problem is that Stone Boy cannot move in his hardened form. He is essentially a super paperweight.
If DC Comics had their Great Lakes Avengers, it would be the backup Legion of Heroes. He was rejected by the Justice League "B" superhero corps (a team that accepts matter-devourer lads...just say &39;) because his powers were deemed useless. One has to assume that they are of no use to someone who might be a big, heavy stone.
Stone Boy is relegated to the lowest common denominator, joining his true peers in the Legion of Backup Heroes. Their roster reads like the Cleveland Indians' lineup in the majors. Stone Boy can still be found playing with LSH, waiting for that never-coming call from Hollywood .
6. Dazzler
She is the famous X-Men, but Dazzler in the movie is nothing more than a pretty face and a CGI light show. Dazzler's origins are the result of a partnership between Marvel and disco label Casablanca Records. Imagine being a Marvel writer, tasked with conceiving a cool, disco-themed superhero. That person doesn't exist. With a focus on collocation, Dazzler was created by a committee (like all the best art).
Their best efforts made Alison Blair . Alison is a mutant capable of converting sound vibrations into beams of light and energy. In a truly unsurprising choice, the writers have made Alison an aspiring singer who uses her powers as part of her stage presence. The partnership with Casablanca was finally over, but Dazzler was already in the world. The show must go on.
Dazzler has been in touch with the X-Men and various X-teams for decades. That guarantees a small-screen appearance in Dark Phoenix. The cameo fits the scene, and there's nothing wrong with it on its own, but unless the disco makes a comeback, there's no need to inflate her role to a supporting role or higher.
5. Matter Eater Lad
In our ongoing saga of sub-par heroes named literally, Matter Eater Lad has the ability to eat anything. Unlike Stone Boy, Substance Eater Boy is accepted as the dubious superhero legion . The lad is rarely seen in LSH comics because the writers had a hard time figuring out how to include him. Panel space is at a premium and eaters are not a priority. This led to his frequent stories being written. The lad often had to leave Earth to deal with the politics of his home planet.
Known as Tenzil Kem on his home planet of Bismolly, Lad and his race were forced to adapt after all food on Earth became inedible. Bismolis develops incredible bite strength, strong teeth and digestive tract. They have yet to develop incredible box office appeal.
Peacemaker mentions Matter Eater lad in HBO live-action series. The titular character claims to have worked with the lad in the past and witnessed him eating the whole of Wendy's. Like everyone else on this list, Matter Eater Lad works best as a cameo or off-screen mention. DC still has intellectual property to burn before turning to the likes of Captain Pickup.
4. Slender man
The slender man has all the elasticity of Reed Richards without any leadership qualities or reader appeal. If Reed hasn't done well in theaters, it's not looking good for Elongated Man.
Elongated Man's insider baseball was created because editor Julian Schwartz didn't realize they owned the rights to Plastic Man after acquiring the intellectual property from Quality Comics.
The slender guy is Ralph Dibney. Ralph was obsessed with Jiu-Jitsu and researched a rare "turmeric" fruit, which is thought to enhance flexibility. He then developed an effective fruit extract. There is no gamma ray . No spider bites. Just some fruit extracts and more! It was later explained that Dibney was a superhuman and that the extracts reacted with his underlying genes to create his resilience.
To be fair, Ralph Dibney is charmingly played by Hartley Sawyer on the live-action Flash TV show. Sometimes characters will rise to the level of their own drawing abilities. Slender men serve as quirky sidekicks in family-friendly Flash. Unless he's used as a dark film noir detective in the Overwatch-style Flash movies, Ralph has already made it to the point where he'll be successful in the live-action world.
3. Eyes scream
I scream! you shout! We all screamed...this guy is never going to be in a major movie.
Eye Scream is a mutant who has the ability to transform himself into any flavor of ice cream...that's all. At best, he could be an easy victory for the hero in the first act before turning to the real villain.
His most notable moment was his failed attempt to break into Professor Xavier's mansion. And now, just at this time, there is a clown named Obnoxio in the mansion. Thanks to Obnocio's quick mind, he simply froze his eyes and screamed, subduing him. Note that this was not a whim plan. Eye Scream spent months plotting the downfall of the X-Men because their powers left him feeling inadequate, only to be upstaged by a clown.
This is the last time readers see Eye Scream. His true identity is unknown, and it is not known if he retained his abilities after the M House incident. It's no secret that his short and forgettable legacy in Marvel comics is best left in the studio or Jon Favreau without the Major's involvement.
2. Fantastic Man
Stan Lee is responsible for creating some of the most iconic comic book characters in history. Wonder Man is not one of those characters. Wonder Man is a poor man's superman, with an even worse fashion sense.
Simon Williams is the son of a powerful industrialist who inherited the family business after the death of his father. Because of its success in the market, Williams Innovations was sidelined by Tony Stark and Stark Industries.
After being caught embezzling funds, a desperate Simon agrees to become 's puppet and infiltrate the Avengers. He was then given ionic abilities. These basically make him super in every way...except flying. For this, he has a special rocket bag on his belt.
Over the years, Fantastic Man has had an "on again, off again" relationship with the Avengers. He especially spent time with their "B" team, the West Coast Avengers.
Nathan Fillion filmed the Wonderman scene for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but his scene was cut from the movie. If anyone can get Simon Williams to work, it's Fillion. If Captain Malcolm Reynolds can't get Wonder Man to the final, maybe it's for the best.
1. Booster Gold
Michael Jon Carter is a geeky glory hound from the future obsessed with fame and fortune. Sounds like every good heroic origin story. That's how Booster Gold started.
Carter is a talented athlete from the future whose father was a depraved gambler. He persuades Michael to deliberately tank the game to collect the stakes. After being exposed and stigmatized, he continued to make poor choices. Carter got a job at a museum that houses various superhero artifacts. After devising a plan to become a superhero and get rich, Carter stole some of the artifacts, including the Legion of Superheroes flying ring and Brainiac 5's force field belt.
He then made a name for himself by using Rip Hunter's timeframe to travel back in time to the 20th century. Booster Gold is a rarity on this list, as he was a former member of DC's "A" Team Justice League. He also briefly appeared on the live-action series Smallville.
Not every hero has to be Captain America . We like heroes with an edge. Batman has the edge. Wolverine has the edge. Booster Gold isn't edgy. He's Gordon Geck with a utility belt.
