Top 3 Crappiest Comic Characters

From the dawn of comic book time there have been some great comic book characters but there have also been the other side of the two face coin with crappy comic book characters. You may agree or disagree but here is our Top 3 Crappiest Comic Characters.


3. The Whizzer
The Whizzer was published by Marvel Comics. He first appeared during the Golden Age of 1930's -1940's. While Robert Frank is on a trip to Africa with his father, Dr. Emil Frank, where Robert is bitten by a cobra. Dr. Frank saves Robert by a transfusion of mongoose blood, and soon discovers that his son has developed super-speed. Frank then decides to fight crime as The Whizzer.


2. Elongated Man

First featured in The Flash #112 in 1960 Ralph Dibney becomes The Elongated Man from a combination of drinking a refined version of a soft drink named Gingold that contains the extract of a fictional fruit called Gingo and his natural latent metahuman physiology. The extract interacts with a latent gene that Ralph 
 as, thus activating his super powers of stretching just like Plastic Man from the same company.


1. The Black Condor
Published in 1940 Richard Grey, Jr. was born on a caravan conducting a scientific expedition through Mongolia. The caravan was later attacked by bandits and everyone was killed except for the newly born Richard. The child was rescued by a mysterious local race of super-intelligent Condors which took in and raised the boy.
A mountain hermit named "Father Pierre" eventually discovered the boy, and with much effort eventually civilised the feral child. After killing the Mongolian bandits who had killed his parents Richard then departed for the USA where he uncovered a plot to kill Senator Thomas Wright. He was too late to save Wright so Richard decides to use his identity and adopted the guise of Black Condor to fight crooked politicians, bootleggers and racketeers.
