Hello nerds welcome back to another top 10 nerd video.
My name is Connor Munro and yes I still work here, no matter how much you hated my hulk
video I’m still kicking.
Speaking of that video prepare to be TRIGGERED by another since today we’re talking weakness.
Be sure you like and subscribe for more daily nerdy content and hit the bell with some kryptonite.
Let’s get into triggering you all with our list of the Top 10 Superheroes Who Are Weaker
Than You Think.
. #10 Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman is a staple for feminism, and a badass in many ways.
She prevents DC from being a sausage party and has transcended comic books to be a bigger
pop culture icon.
She has always been portrayed as someone who doesn’t take shit from anyone.
And isn’t afraid to break some necks if she needs to.
So why is she on the list?
Not because overall she is weaker, but because of one specific weakness which is honestly
absurd.
The original wonder woman was not created to be what I just described.
In actuality she was meant to be the opposite.
Her creator strongly believed that bondage was the key to a healthy relationship and
tried to include it in as much of his comics as possible.
What I mean by this is that she has a weakness that makes it that if a man binds her hands
together, she is rendered completely useless.
Not because her hands are tied.
But because of “Aphrodite’s law” that when an amazon girl gets her hands bound by
a man she becomes weak as other women in a man ruled world.
Oh my gosh WHY IS THIS REAL?
. #9 Thor
Thor is a god.
The casting of the Marvel Cinematic Universe hit a homerun when casting Chris Hemsworth
as Thor because he looks believably mythological.
Thor’s godliness does make him a force to be reckoned with, but not as much as some
fans might believe.
It takes a lot of effort to bring the Thunder God down, let alone destroy him.
However, by another god, Thor can be harmed, even irrevocably.
And if you’re not as well versed in the comics this is also shown in the MCU during
Thor’s final fight with Hela in Thor: Ragnarok.
But his greatest weakness is losing his hammer.
In the MCU this isn’t so much of a weakness as a plot point but in the comics when Thor
loses his hammer, a huge chunk of his strength goes with it.
In his early days, if Thor was separated from Mjolnir, he was depowered to the level of
an average human.
Even recently, when Thor is apart from his hammer he loses a great deal of strength.
Thor and Mjolnir are like a codependent couple, they can’t be too far apart or they have
nothing to live for.
. #8 Power Girl
Power Girl is a fan fav in DC comics.
Superman’s cousin from another reality and someone who’s creator must have been proud
of.
She’s best known for her personality and leadership skills, and I mean personality
literally here.
Her powers are more or less the same as Superman’s minus the vulnerability to kryptonite, since
she comes from a different version of planet krypton.
So what did the creator’s do to balance this out, give her the dumbest weakness ive
seen so far.
Power Girl has a weakness to natural elements.
This meaning any raw, unprocessed natural materials to be exact.
Which essentially means she’s weak to water, dirt, and AIR!
She can stop a bullet, but blow in her face or chuck a rock at her and she’s dead.
Basically the whole planet is her Kryptonite.
Earthtonite.
Earthonite?
Earthtonite?
Ahh who knows?
But that’s fine, since DC has ignored this weakness for the past decade.
Who knows why?
. #7 Captain America
The leader of the avengers is the ultimate man.
The moral center of the Marvel universe.
Yet even after all of that, he isn’t as powerful as the dorito-like physique of the
beautiful Chris Evans would have you believe.
Thanks to his super serum Cap is stronger, faster and more durable than the average solider
yes.
But that’s it.
His moral compass can at times prevent him from making decisions that need to be made,
and even if he is the ultimate man, he is still a man.
During “The Death of Captain America” arc, cap was killed with a regular bullet.
The serum turned a wimpy asthmatic kid into a hunk and a hit with the ladies, but it didn’t
work any other miracles.
Actually based on experience being a hit with the ladies is a miracle…
. #6 Superman
When you think “overpowered” im pretty sure most of you will think superman.
This blue boy has exhibited every power under the sun during his lengthy history with DC.
However he still isn’t unbeatable.
Obviously Kryptonite is his most common weakness but he is also weak to magic.
There is also Gold Kryptonite which will strip superman of his powers permanently, Red Kryptonite
which removes his morality, and pink kryptonite which turns him gayer than my roommate.
There are many more Kryptonites that do other things as well.
This is only a handful.
Furthermore, superman can get beaten down by other Kryptonians or powerful beings.
He can feel pain too.
It is possible to hurt superman without kryptonite.
Additionally, he can even hurt himself by exhausting his powers so much that they deplete
and he is really just Clark Kent.
There is also the red sun to take into account.
Which whenever it’s convenient, everyone seems to have a simulator of.
. #5 Mister Fantastic
It’s honestly a shame that Fantastic Four movies get worse and worse.
The fantastic four is an incredible band of heroes.
Their collective mythology is massive, the villain roster is impressive and they’ve
been a vital part of the Marvel Universe for years.
However they are impressive as a group, individually they all have other uses.
But Mister Fantastic’s use is very niche at best.
If we ignore his ability to stretch, what can he do?
Yes Reed Richards is intelligent and considered a genius, however he’s always been portrayed
as a kind of mad scientist who’s ideas and ambition exceeds his ability and he isn’t
able to control the results.
He has attempted to do many things in the past and they don’t always pan out.
And when he made the thor clone along side tony stark that was just stupid.
Yes he’s smart, but he’s dumb.
And what can you really use the ability to stretch for alone?
Like bringing someone toilet paper when they run out?
Getting a cat out of a tree?
Georgie out of the sewer?
List the ways you think Reed could use his powers (be them ridiculous or not) in the
comments below.
. #4 Captain Marvel Jr.
Captain Marvel Jr is the sidekick to captain marvel (more commonly known as Shazam) Freddy
Freeman.
However while he may have the ability to fly and such, this hero cannot introduce himself
without being transformed back into his crippled orphan form.
This must be really awkward at parties.
Saying “captain marvel jr” is actually what transforms him from Freddy Freeman to
CMJ.
This weakness is so apparent that in earlier issues other heroes didn’t even know this
guy’s name.
He’d just be called lightning boy or something.
Image:
Even worse than that, instead of using the opportunity to ditch this stupid name, the
writes decided to change his name to CM3, since he is the 3rd most important member
of the Captain Marvel family.
This also includes uncle marvel and Hoppy, the marvel bunny.
CM3 is arguably an even worse name, since now he sounds like a douch every time he says
it.
. #3 Doctor Strange
In his early days as Sorcerer Supreme, Stephen Strange was more powerful than not.
There always seemed to be a spell for this.
Or a magic artifact he could summon at a moment’s notice.
However, since then marvel scaled back his power to keep him more grounded and not a
ex-machina.
These days magic works differently.
And in the great words of rumple stiltskin, magic always comes with a price.
This adds a great deal of weight to the decisions the Sorcerer Supreme has to make.
When trying to do one thing, another thing will happen simultaneously.
For every reaction there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Recently, during Damnation, Steven Strange tried to restore the destroyed city of Las
Vegas to its former glory.
What did it cost?
Everything… well, not exactly.
He did however bring Mephisto and almost the entire realm of hell to earth.
Is that why the summer was so hot?
. #2 Batman
I can actually hear the torches being lit.
“But batman can defeat anyone with enough prep time” or “it’s batman” you may
be thinking to yourself.
And you may be correct.
But what if the battle happens out of nowhere, and they attack bruce wayne.
Sure he is a master of every martial art under the sun, and DC has made some pretty outlandish
excuses as to how Batman has survived the encounters he definitely should have died
in.
But he’s literally just a guy, in a suit that’s supposed to make him look like a
bat.
But in reality just makes him look like he’s having a fun weekend.
If doomsday was to show up and beat the living crap out of Bruce Wayne at some diner party,
it wont matter how broad his shoulders are he’s dead.
D.E.A.D DEAD.
Batman’s greatest ability is Plot Armor and because he’s honestly the most popular
hero.
When Batman fought Darkseid, the bats was disintegrated and turned into a skeleton.
But he was sent back in time.
He’s just a dude with daddy issues who needs to just sit down, put on some youtube, and
have a glass of whisky.
A very tall glass.
. #1 Hulk
This one is for all of you who loved the video about heroes stronger than the hulk.
That’s right he’s number one.
HE. IS.
WEAK!
Allow me to explain, sure no weaknesses are apparent with the hulk, and they aren’t
necessarily associated with him like how superman is associated with Kryptonite.
But he does have several weaknesses worth a mention.
He is known for being indestructible but this is just not the case.
To begin he has a weakness to adamantium, this could just be jocked up to the strength
of adamantium, but either way Wolverine has been able to cut, scratch, impale and injure
the hulk using his adamantium claws.
Speedfreek was also able to slice hulk’s stomach open with an adamantium blade.
The only reason Hulk survived is from his healing factor, but even with that he healed
around his fingers.
He had to rip his fingers out, reopening the wound to get the use of his hand back.
Plus Hulk has his own transformation to deal with, that makes him even more powerful.
Kluh comes from a place of sadness and depression, and when Luke Cage punches the hulk into a
wall -luke was being controlled by scarlet witch- Hulk gets saddened by the betrayal
of a friend hurting him and turns into Kluh, making him the Hulk’s Hulk.
So clearly hulk isn’t as strong as it gets.
Since it can get worse.
And don’t forget how Hulk loves puppies.
That’s also a thing that happens and manages to turn him back to Bruce Banner, to think
that the hulk and I can be brought to our knees by a litter of pugs is heartwarming.
Like those pugs.
There we have it friends the top 10 Superheroes weaker than you think.
