Top 10 Oddest Marvel Characters

[VintageComics]

What about the Hypno-Hustler? This has to be on the list!

 

 

Man, you guys just don't get it. Hypno Hustler? Disco Dazzler? They were products of the music of the era....to bad Stan the Man got on that kick just as the music died.

 

[s-man]

How about Modok... the guy with the 2 ton head and 50 lb. body. Some woman gave birth to him right? Poor woman must have died in labor... or burst.

 

Actually he was an average guy...subjected to experiments... and the rest is history!

I know that this was a byproduct of the era, but that doesn't excuse how lame it is. It was like someone thought, "Let's combine the Ringmaster and Larry Flynt!"

[Comicsarefun]

Great list but where is the Turnip Lady?

 

I love Howard The Duck!

 

But seriously, Hellcow is the hands down winner. Unbeatable...

 

 

 

[Howard The Duck]

Great list but where is the Turnip Lady?

 

Do you mean the Kidney Lady from Howard the Duck? The Deadly Space Turnip was in HTD #2.

[comix4fun]

Voluntary obesity? How exactly does that power work?

 

 

Big Bertha (real name: Ashley Crawford) can go from this:

 

 

 

to this:

 

 

 

and back again anytime she wants.

 

 

 

I actually dated a couple of women that could do that....except it took a couple of years to change and they couldn't do the "and back again" part of it.

Missed that... either way though... pretty odd.

[TempusFugitivus]

Should there be a distinction between: Lame odd characters & Cool odd characters?

 

I have always liked the Stiltman for some weird reason.

Thanks. Dang, she's pretty hot in the first panel.

 

I'm surprised Porcupine isn't in the list.

 

If anyone watches heroes, there was a character just like this.

Now I know were they got their inspiration.

 

 

Which character do you mean?

 

The only one I can think of might be Candice played by Missy Peregrym

 

She was an obese woman who could create illusions around her and she kept up a constant illusion that she was thin and attactive.

 

She could not make herself large and thin though, she was always very large and made you think she was thin. Kind of like Oprah wearing 6 pairs of Spanx.

 

Best,

Chris

Angar the Screamer....

Good point

[Boboset]

Mindworm has to rank up there somewhere...

 

+1000

I always kind of liked swarm. I'm surprised he made the list.

[Ken Aldred]

Another killer Howard The Duck character for this thread - Doctor Bong.

[awe4one]

How about Modok... the guy with the 2 ton head and 50 lb. body. Some woman gave birth to him right? Poor woman must have died in labor... or burst.

 

Modok is a great villain. It's his weirdness that makes him so appealing...

[JazzMan]

Anyone have a picture of Hellcow? That's got to be someone's worst idea ever.

 

I found it.

 

Dude that's just so wrong in so many ways

 

So, if I see a cow with a cape on I should run for the hills? This should be a PSA - this is what drugs does to artists and writers.

[nmtg9]

Angar the Screamer....

 

 

 

Often found in prison showers?

[comicalgems]

 

I always liked Bloodshed. He just never really took off.

[Mutant Manatee]

It should be noted that Hellcow appeared in the Howard the Duck backup story, not in the feature Man-Thing story in that issue. What do you expect, it was from the brilliant mind of Steve Gerber. (Drugs or no, he was brilliant.)

 

I loved that Hellcow story to pieces when I first read it as a teenager.

How about Modok... the guy with the 2 ton head and 50 lb. body. Some woman gave birth to him right? Poor woman must have died in labor... or burst.

And Modok had a body for a short period in Ironman 74
