welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
marvel heroes with disturbing
backstories calls itself rockin the
result of illegal genetic and cybernetic
experiments on a lower life form for
this list we'll be looking at some of
the most poignant good guy backstories
in marvel comics history villains won't
be considered as they deserve their own
list which hero's backstory touched you
the most let us know in the comments
number 10 drax the destroyer arthur
douglas
the comic backstory of drax the
destroyer is something that has thus far
been omitted from the mcu in the comics
real estate agent and wicked saxophone
player arthur douglas was driving
through the mojave desert with his wife
and daughter thanos happened to be
flying over the same area spotted their
vehicle and destroyed it not wishing any
witnesses to his presence seeing the
threat posed by his son thanos father
mentor along with kronos managed to
capture douglas's astral form and cast
it into a new body thus drax the
destroyer was born bearing the
vindictive drive to destroy thanos
number 9 zeitgeist axel clooney the
x-men are a large bunch and honestly the
possibilities are endless when it comes
to potential mutations zeitgeist or axel
clooney definitely ended up on the worst
end of the superpower spectrum he vomits
acid i'm a zeitgeist
cool
i like you so you have the power to put
your finger on the
pulse of society
no
no i spit acidic moment
oh
his early biography is not known however
the story of how he first discovered his
unfortunate power is quite sad and kind
of gross clooney was making out with a
girl when his power manifested and he
accidentally disfigured his date when he
acidically regurgitated on her she
survived but clooney was forever haunted
by the incident and in particular the
fact that he couldn't remember her name
not cool player number eight u.s agent
john walker much like his mcu portrayal
john walker assumes the role of captain
america when steve rogers steps down i
don't have the flashiest gadgets i don't
have super strength but what i do have
is guts
something captain america always had
always needs to have and i'm gonna need
every ounce of it
because
i got big shoes to fill after initially
discrediting rogers he soon realizes
there's more to being capped than
wearing the uniform things take a turn
for the worse for walker when two of his
former army pals publicly reveal his
identity the villainous group the
watchdogs proceed to capture walker's
parents and hold them hostage while he
tries to rescue them they end up being
killed by the group not only does walker
kill the watchdogs he also captures and
nearly kills the two responsible for
leaking his identity eventually he
stripped of his role as captain america
and he realizes he could never compare
to steve rogers number seven black bolt
black agar bolt again
another victim of terrible superpowers
black bolt has the ability to emit
quasi-sonic energy with his voice
when he was born on the floating island
of avalon it was determined by his top
geneticist parents that he should be in
isolation he was thus kept so until the
age of 19 at which time he rejoined
society a month after this he found out
his brother maximus was conspiring with
the kree alien emissaries bolts decided
to put an end to this by crashing the
cree ship he thus used his power as the
cree ship crashed however the crash
killed a large number of his people
including his parents number six spider
woman jessica drew there are a lot of
bad parenting decisions in marvel comics
jessica drew's father was a geneticist
and settled the family on land rich in
uranium this affected the young jessica
and she fell ill when she was around
four years old her father was also an
expert on arachnid immunology and
decided to inject jessica with a
previously untested concoction of a
variety of spider bloods what could go
wrong the healing process was so slow
she had to be placed in stasis for
decades with the chamber she was in
slowing her aging when she finally got
out she ended up accidentally killing
her boyfriend in a freak bioelectric
blast incident she then had a stint in
hydra which also ended badly number five
rocket raccoon
this one is bizarre in the keystone
quadrant a section of space found within
the black holes of the serious major
there was an asylum for the criminally
insane the caretakers for said asylum
got tired of working there so created
sentient robots to replace themselves
the robots then got tired of the place
and decided to take the inmates support
animals grants them human awareness and
put them in charge well i didn't ask to
get made
i didn't have to be torn apart and put
back together over and over and turned
into some
some little monster rocket raccoon was
among these poor creatures and was
submitted to a painful process his more
prominent personality traits and
interests were the result of his inmate
friend keviks who was foul-mouthed and
loved old war movies rocket also
considered keviks to be the last person
to ever be good to him number 4. jessica
jones in the comics world jessica jones
was a student at midtown high in the
same class and grade as peter parker she
had a crush on him but never acted on it
oh what might have been she and her
family took a trip to disney world and
upon their return the car collided with
a military vehicle carrying you guessed
it radioactive materials she was the
sole survivor and spends the subsequent
months in a coma she awoke from her coma
just in time to be exposed to the cosmic
radiation given off by the fantastic
four's battle with galactus the
combination of all these things granted
her a number of superhuman abilities
including strength fast healing
longevity flight and so on number three
deadpool wade wilson
wade wilson's backstory is quite tragic
despite his seemingly devil may care
attitude i'm about to do to you what lip
biscuit did to music in the late 90s
dad in his childhood days he was
mistreated by both his mother and father
he was then placed in foster care where
he was also mistreated by his foster
mother he then went on to become a
mercenary and much like some other
marvel mercs things went south in that
occupation he was then diagnosed with
terminal cancer and offered a potential
cure by joining the weapon x program
same guys wolverine was subject to he
was duped however and injected with a
serum that did not rid him of his cancer
but made him immortal in all aspects
that's why he's not so handsome he's
basically walking cancer with severe
ptsd
number 2 blade eric brooks eric brooks
is half man half vampire which is
referred to as dampier in the comics how
he got this way however is quite
unsettling his pregnant mother tara was
sent to england by his father lucas who
had been taken prisoner in latveria upon
having complications while in labor tara
consulted a doctor deacon frost frost
however turned out to be a vampire and
he fed on tara as she birthed eric the
infant was thus infused with vampiric
enzymes yet did not quite turn into a
full-fledged vampire frost left the
child alive and eric brooks was raised
in a brothel brooks encountered vampire
hunter jamal afari on the streets of
london and was trained and fostered by
him he went on to eventually call
himself blade deacon frost
