Not enough people have the courage to point out the negative. If there is something popular or trendy you dont like its OK to say so.
With that I present the top 5 comic characters I hate most.
5. Red Hulk. Hulk was meant to be a one in a billion accident. He originally stood for the anger any normal person could carry. Red Hulk (and all other hulk characters) destroyed that uniqueness and the poetry of who Hulk was.
4. DeadPool (but only when he breaks 3rd wall). When I read I want to see into that world or get lost into the story as if it actually happened. Any character breaking the wall ruins that and essentially the entire story. Deadpool was a perfect edition to Marvel until they decided to make him cute.
3. Scarlett Witch. When I first started reading comics I would occasionally see her in the background or making a small comment. I then read an "Avengers" where she went on the mission and her "amazing" hex powers broke a pipe distracting the bad guys. So I thought she was lame with a bad costume from the get-go. In modern
stories she can do anything. I cant even see her as a mutant. The fact she has no limits is just bad lazy writing to me and really no fun.
2. Harley Quinn. I personally think she ruined the Joker as a character. Joker seemed darker without a female companion. I also detest the way they have her fighting superheroes. A petite to average sized person no matter how in shape running around with a giant mallet?? No powers or special gear and she is standing up to
the super-enabled?
1. Robin. Yes Robin. My first hate of the comic world. Though I am middle-aged, this is not a hate on the young thing. I first started hating Robin on the tv show with Adam West. I saw re-runs when I was in grade school and could never get over how another kid is going to fight adults. I dont care how well trained he was, an 80 pound kid doing a flying kick to a 200 pound man will drop. Red and yellow costume? In real life this would show a dark side of Batman and how he used Robin as a target or distraction. Maybe that was a hidden twist. Also the fact that a guardian would bring a child into those dangerous situations? It would have made sense if Bruce would tell Robin he had to train until 18 or something along those lines. Many would disagree but almost every Batman comic without Robin is exponentially better than with.
Well thats it. There are more that I dislike but thanks to the artistic talent and imagination of comic creators there are more I like than dont.
Comment with your character hates or feel free to comment on mine, I wont be hurt if its negative. Keep it real.

I agree with you on Deadpool to me he an amalgam of Spider-Man and Wolverine
My number one isn’t a person but an entire group. Almost all the the X- people that came about in the 90’s. It was like put an X on and they will lap it up and most had lame or stupid powers.
2. Auqaman just always thought he was second rate.
Will stop here cause it’s really more than 5
