Dr. Druid
Talon
The Impossible Man
Those are the three off the top of my head. Dr. Druid should not even have sniffed the Avengers. I had to hold my nose in the mid-80's when buying the Avengers(imagine having to deal with Druid and Starfox in the same comic book...scary, crappy times for the Avengers in the mid-80's. Talon...just never liked him. Too much of a comedic element..and it was forced humor, which, usually, failed. The Impossible Man...one of the dopiest(not "dope") concepts in comicdom. "He" can basically control the world, hell, the universe, but somehow he is just obtuse enough not to know what he is doing..yet, at the same time, he is sly and cunning. Oh, and he comes from "Poppup." Just a stupid concept and his appearance in the the FF were needless and detracted from the comic itself. So let me know what characters you genuinely dislike..hate..or whatever. Thanks.

I have no idea who this is. Sounds like a rooster-themed character... Is he the same as Gamecock? |

I have no idea who this is. I think it's the assassin from the Court of Owls. |

I hate Cyborg when he became a Justice Leaguer replacing Martian Manhunter and I've learned through here that Cyborg is CGI Created for the Justice League Movie and I hate CGI format. I like him in the Superfriends and the Titans but when he became a Justice Leaguer ... No Freaking No.  |

The Impossible Man is super-annoying, I agree.

Yeah, Cyborg was created to "ground" the Titans and contrast the more sci-fi/jokey characters, provide a gateway for scientific/technological stories/enemies, and work as a thematic tribute to Lee and Kirby's Ben Grimm.
(Plus Teen Titans Go! is crazy popular, so most kids are going to know him as a Titan anyway!)

The Impossible Man - yeah one of those "can-do-anything" characters. I don't like them either, usually.
Dr Druid I don't know much about but I like the name and the more supernatural characters the better, in my book. They should have written him like an ancient Druid: his go-to tactic whenever the Avengers get in trouble is ... human sacrifice! "No, Druid, we're not going to sacrifice anybody. Stop saying that, it's not going to help!" "But you won't even try!"

There's a 4 issue Druid mini-series from the 90s by Warren Ellis and Leonardo Manco that takes Druid back to ancient roots and sacrifice.  I also liked Druid teamed with Ulysses Bloodstone as part of the Monster Hunters in issues 4-7 of the short lived Marvel Universe title in the 90's..  Roger Stern wrote the arc with art by Mike Manley and a jam cover on #4 featuring many of the Marvel Monsters. -M |

Oh yeah, I keep meaning to track that series down. Has it been collected? If I remember right, Roy Thomas had to fight to bring back the Impossible Man, as Stan Lee remembered fans absolutely hating him the first time. Conversely, here is a review of Marvel Two-In-One that cites the impossible Man issue as "the best of the whole [one hundred issue] series." |
