Gail Simone wants to know secret shames:
I’m not talking, “Oh, Iron Man isn’t a favorite.”
I’m talking, HOLY [expletive deleted, but it rhymes with "mitt"]! EGG FU!
What are the LAMEST EVER dc and Marvel characters?
The fans respond:
“Kite-Man for DC. There’s really no way to make him seem cool. Marvel… all the symbiotic Spider characters.”
“That planet Green Lantern thing and the thing in one of the X- comics that looks like a bean. It just makes a comic stupid when there are some really cool looking characters and action and then in between panels you see a sea cucumber or something acting heroic.”
“DC = Space Cabby. He drives a cab… IN SPACE! Marvel = Razorback, the truck-drivin’ superhero who wore a pig on his head. Come to think of it, those two would make a pretty good team-up!”
“What does it say that I have pitches for both these characters?”
“That you are secretly James Robinson?”
Trust Simpsons Comics writer Ian Boothby to come up with the most appropriate answer, however:
Marvel : Don Blake
DC: Freddie Freeman
Both lame.

Ow - it took me almost 5 seconds to get Gails joke. That hurts.
The second poster is incorrect, though - weird looking heroes are the epitome of awesome. This is part of the reason why the greatest Green Lantern ever created is Ch’p.

Lets not forget Risk… He’s lame by both standards now.
