Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
If thereÕs something that sets a villain up for popular success, itÕs a good origin
story.
Freak accidents, illnesses, and terrible home lives have brought us some crazy entertaining
stories.
However, not all villains out there have fared so well; their stories seem a bit like somebody
fell asleep at the wheel.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 DUMBEST SUPER VILLAIN ORIGINS.
In the number 10 spot WE HAVE WALRUS.
There was no secret that walrus was a comedic villain for Spiderman, so he expectedly has
a suitable origin story.
Like many other villains and heroes, Hubert Carpenter had his boy augmented by his uncle
with experimental technology.
This tech was used to gift him with the strength, speed, and agility of a walrus.
Because that is the animal to strive toward when youÕre channeling your inner destructive
criminal.
Coming in at number 9 IS LADY STILTMAN.
Yet another Spiderman villain, lady stiltman not only has a ridiculous name, but also a
ridiculous origin story.
And in terms of story, we mean really none at all.
What caused this villainess to don the ridiculous armor?
Simply in admiration of the original stiltman.
Because he was certainly a villain to look up to.
Of all the villains out there.
Turns out Callie Ryan, the face behind the armor, was the victim of a hoax sex scandal
video, so thatÕs interesting.
So what better way to hide from a sex scandal than with metal legs and a sucky career in
crime?
Next, at number 8, WE GOT CATWOMAN.
Selina Kyle, who has played both supervillain and superhero in the world of Batman, has
a very well developed origin story.
It includes a life of abuse and running away that culminate into her becoming a criminal.
However, early on in Batman #62, catwoman is found to be an amnesia flight attendant
whose cat-inspired costuming comes because, well, her dad owned a pet store and she knew
a lot about cats.
Seriously?
Luckily, no; this was just something she made up to avoid her past life of crime.
That was a close one.
In the number 7 spot, IS RAINBOW RAIDER.
An enemy to the Flash, Roy G bivolo had dreams of being an artist, but he was in fact colorblind.
As a kid, he made all sorts of paintings that he thought were quite nice, but other people
started telling him the colors were clashing.
You can only imagine the horrible trauma he went through being told his art sucked.
So when his optometrist father created a set f goggles for him that allowed him to emit
different colored light, you just know revenge was on the mind.
So learn from this and donÕt criticize budding artsts.
At least not to their face.
They may attack you with subpar weapons of colorful destruction.
Coming in at number 6 we got GAMBLER.
This villain of Green LanternÕs story isnÕt just lame, it is very convoluted and random.
Steven Sharp the 3 was doomed to be a gambler from the start, because genetics.
His girlfriend wanted him to prove this wouldnÕt happen, but before he could marry her she
ran off with another guy who was also a big gambler.
So much for that.
Steven wanted to change himself, so conveniently a right then an armored truck crashed nearby.
This meant that he could steal lots of money and join the circus, as most suddenly rich
folk do.
Which lead to a life of crime.
DonÕt ask; we donÕt know.
Next up, at number 5, IS THE FIDDLER.
So the fiddler, who is an enemy of the flash, started out as a regular thief named Isaac
Bowin in india.
He was caught and thrown in jail, and there he meets a Fakir who uses the power of music
to control snakes, lots of those in prison let me tell ya.
From this guy, he learns the mystical art of indian music.
Out of debris in his cell he magically makes a playable violin, and proceeds to break out
of prison using the power of song.
He also murders his teacher, just because.
This one is unique, IÕll give it that?
Up next at number 4, WE HAVE THE KANGAROO.
Frank oliver, another spidey villain on this list, grew up studying the kangaroos of Australia.
He took studying to the extreme apparently.
He not only watched them, he lived amongst them and ate them too.
For the full experience of course.
What happened because of this is that he developed leaping abilities and decided to thro himself
into the boxing ring with his super jumping abilities; they do say you are what you eat.
In the number 3 spot IS LEX LUTHOR.
The famous and well-established Superman villain is not immune to a bit of a bad writing blip.
His origin story was revealed in Adventure comics #271.
Turns out he and Superboy were buds in their youth.
Luthor accidently set fire to his own lab, which Superboy put out with his super breath
but also spilled chemicals everywhere.
Not only did this kill the artificial lifeform Luthor was cultivating; it also killed his
hair.
The man is a megalomaniac psychopath because he became bald.
You could say it put Superman in a bit of a hairy situation.
Coming in at number 2, we have THE TOP.
As a child, Flash villain Roscoe Dillon was obsessed with spinning tops.
So obsessed, that he kinda wanted to be one.
He taught himself how to spin really really fast.
He spun so fast he was able to deflect bullets, and somehow the spinning also improved his
intelligence, unlike most people who will collapse after even trying.
So yeah, thatÕs all there is to him.
Man likes tops.
Man spins around like top.
Man becomes the top.
Creativity at its finest.
And finally, in the number 1 spot, WE HAVE CODPIECE.
Poor little codpiece.
And we do mean little.
Apparently insecure about the size of his piece, this guy was super sensitive to comments
that he misinterpreted, and eventually had enough.
He developed a suit that turned his junk into a weapon trunk.
LetÕs see whoÕs laughing now at his weapon of mass destruction.
Nothing funny at all about a groin cannon.
So those were the top 10 DUMBEST SUPER VILLAIN ORIGINS.
Let me know in the comment section down below who has the worst story out there?
