The end is nigh everyone and it’s not just because HBO is making a new Watchmen Series.
Much like Natlie Portman in the Thor series nobody asked for me but I'm back anyways.
I'm Dylan Lamovsek, the editor who has been called to make this video because everyone
else was apparently off doing better things or were sick or something.
Either way, this is my time to shine by bringing you the Top 10 Superheroes With Powers No
One Understands Part 4.
You guys won’t stop watching these videos so we’ll never stop making them.
Never…

Also, don’t forget to check out our community tab for some of the worst comic panels you’ve
ever seen.
Now that that’s out of the way, let’s jump in.
10.
Mogo.
Hailing from the DC universe, Mogo is a sentient planet, adrift in space doing his best to
look awesome and not do much else.
Oh and did I mention that he’s also apart of the Green Lantern Corps?
The Green Lanterns will literally hire anybody these days.
Aside from being able to create constructs with his power ring, Mogo is also able to
create holograms on his surface to simulate whatever he wants.
How is this explained?
It’s a giant super powered planet who’s also a space cop, it doesn’t need any explanation.
9.
Big Bertha.
Ashley Crawford is a mutant who is able to control the fat distribution throughout her
body.
During the day, she’s one of the most beautiful supermodels in the world but when trouble
arises she becomes Big Bertha, a really fat superhero with super strength.
I understand the concept of being able to redistribute your body mass to make yourself
bulkier and more or less an immoveable object but where does the super strength come in?
How does adding more mass onto her legs allow her to jump further?
Wouldn’t it be the opposite?
Her powers are strictly defined as “fat manipulation” so muscle shouldn’t be involved
should it?
I’m so confused Marvel, why would you do this?
Is She Just a female blob?
I need to know!
8.
Ambush Bug.
First Appearing in DC Comics Presents #52, Ambush Bug was initially presented as a villain
to Superman and the Doom Patrol.
He appeared as a self centered super villain who wore a skin tight green suit that made
him look like a bug.
Any and all powers he had were just devices he had hidden in his suit.
Ambush Bug was so popular that he was brought back more and more until eventually he fully
transitioned into a third-wall-breaking “hero” very akin to Deadpool.
His appearances in comics nowadays are very sporadic get weirder and weirder every time.
His powers are pretty much whatever the writer wants them to be at this point.
7.
Hope Summers.
Hope Summers is one of the most powerful mutants in all of the 616… or is it Prime Earth?
I can never tell anymore.
Hope was born in a time when no new mutants were supposed to emerge and unleashed a psionic
blast so powerful it destroyed Cerebro.
Was this psionic blast explained?
Not really but lets move on.
It was later explained that Hope has the ability to mimic the abilities of mutants in her general
vicinity and is also able to boost the mutant abilities of those around her.
Mimicry is a pretty straightforward ability so where does all this other stuff come from?
Remember when she cured Rogue of the uncurable Strain 88 virus?
Remember when Rogues’ touch could kill people but she could carry Hope around just fine?
She’s also completely undetectable by Cerebro so I don’t know what to believe anymore.
6 Dead Man.
Boston Brand was one of the greatest trapeze artists of all time and would captivate audiences
under his stage name, Deadman.
Unfortunately, during one of his routines, Boston was murdered and then resurrected as
a ghost with the power of possession.
Using these powers, Boston now only referring to himself as Deadman attempts to solve the
mystery of his own murder.
I love Deadman, I think he’s a very unique character who’s involved in some awesome
stories.
However, sometimes his general power of possession gets a little muddled.
As a ghost he should be able to jump into whoever he wants but nope, he has a lot of
restrictions.
If someone is already being mind controlled, has magical power, or someone has a strong
will he can’t possess them.
Why does this happen?
I know he needs obstacles in order to be a good character but there’s never a definitive
reason as to why he can’t possess these kinds of people.
I mean what if he tried really, really hard, like harder than he ever had before, would
it work then?
5.
Capain Marvel.
Carol Danvers used to have a pretty refined power set.
Her body was altered after an explosion caused her DNA to be spliced with that of the Kree
alien, Mar-Vell’s.
Danvers gained superhuman strength, endurance, stamina and flight and became the first Ms.
Marvel.
She later became Binary and gained the ability to absorb energy and project it in photonic
form.
As Binary, she became one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe but needed a
constant stream of energy to maintain such a high power level.
What powers does Carol have now that she’s Captain Marvel?
Pretty much whatever the writers want.
She can now fly 6 times faster than the speed of sound, can withstand then absorb the explosion
of a nuclear bomb, absorb magic attacks, withstand the pressures of open space without batting
an eye.
When did this happen?
I understand characters evolving and growing over time to become better versions of themselves
but this power level spike happened almost completely out of nowhere and as far as I
know, Marvel does not have a hyperbolic time chamber.
4.
The Question.
If you’ve never read a Question comic before I highly recommend it.
This guy is one of my all time favourite DC heroes and he does not get enough love.
Whether it be Vic Sage or Renee Montoya wearing the non face of the Question, you’re going
to have an awesome time reading any issue they’re in.
However, the abomination we got from the New 52 hurts me right down to my soul.
This question was a man who committed a crime so horrible that the most powerful wizards
in existence removed his face, wiped his memory, threw him into the 21st century and dammed
him to forever speak in questions.
It was so bad that it was retconned a few years later but still, never touch that garbage.
Regardless, this version of Vic Sage somehow gained amazing detective skills and became
a master of disguise.
I guess the wizards who cursed him in the first place didn’t want him to be completely
useless.
3.
Slapstick.
I hate this character.
I hate this character so much but somebody needs to talk about how bad this character
is.
I wish it was Kelly or even Sasha but they left early and forced me to talk about this
garbage so here we go.
Slapstick was exposed to a strange alien device that made his body indestructible at the cost
of looking like a garish cartoon character that wreaks early 90’s.
He has the physics of a cartoon character and can be horribly beaten into a pulp only
to spring back into perfect form.
No matter how many times his enemies try to kill him, he just springs back and manages
to beat them.
I’m done here this is my limit on Slapstick.
2.
Kid Eternity.
Kid Eternity is one of my favourite nonsensical heroes of all time.
He has the power to summon any good historical or mythological figure by saying “Eternity”.
So as you can imagine, his comics get really weird, very fast.
Kid Eternity was later revised to summon demons in the forms of the fictional characters he
calls out to fight for him in battle.
He is promptly murdered in the opening pages of JSA 1.
Then, he came back again 7 years later to help the Teen Titans fight Brother Blood to
prevent him from gaining access to the Door of Life and Death.
I told you, his stories are the highest level of ridiculous.
1.
Pre Crisis Superman.
Everyone in the world, regardless of whether or not they enjoy comics, knows who Superman
is.
Superman is an icon with very straightforward powers and even more straightforward origin.
He’s an alien baby who came over from a dying planet and gets his powers from our
sun.
He has super speed, super strength, can fly, basically all the things you wished you could
do as a kid.
His powers can get a little ridiculous at times with laser vision and all that but for
the most part, you understand how his powers work.
Now that we have that established, let me tell you that Pre Crisis Superman does not
work that way in the slightest.
This guy is on a completely different level from who we know today.
His super strength has no limits and can move whatever he wants with ease including planets,
his flight in unimpeded and has no limits, his super vision allowed him to see across
the entire electromagnetic spectrum, he could hold his breath indefinitely so he never has
to breath again.
His only weaknesses were from Kryptonite and radiation from a red sun and aside from that,
nothing could hurt him.
He literally flew through the core of a star unharmed.
However, his best powers include Super Ventriloquism, Super Hypnotism and the ability to wipe someone’s
mind with a kiss.
What was DC’s explanation for him having all of these powers?
The Sun…
Alrighty friends there we have it Part 4 of this seemingly never ending series.
Be sure to let me know down in the comments if there were any that we’ve missed thus
far and if you think it’s possible to do a part 5.
I have been your special guest host Dylan Lamovsek, you’ve been watching Top 10 Nerd
and until next time take care.
