Who Is The Most Inconsistant Comic Book Character Ever!!!!

galactus

silver surfer

thor

Lobo. One minute he's damn near god-like, the next, he's breaking his hand on people.

Pre Crisis Superman BY FAR. One minute he's sneezing solar systems and the next he's getting punched out by The Hulk.

Galactus really isn't inconsistent. His power fluctuates depending on how hungry he is.

i second second that nominee. 😉

wolverine- can take the hulk one on one, gets beaten up by ninjas or cyclops.
flash- can outrace death, gets taken out by deathstroke.
gl- contains an exploding star, loses to a bunch of third rate villains

How the hell could you forget Wolverine? lol everyone knows it. one issue, he's a martial arts pro, Cap level-plus, next he's getting punked all over. first, he get's thrown out the top of a skyscraper, lands, gets up, dusts himself off and gets ready for more, then he gets shot and is out for the resto of the issue! I only mention him because 1. he's just that damn annoying and 2. I haven't read many other inconsistent characters...

Wow, I'm surprised no one's said Darkseid.

y?

so powerful but gets beat up by superman

And Superman isn't powerful?

not as powerful as darkseid

Batman

Lobo by far.

Galactus - i know power level fluctuates but he often forgets he could just shrug other people's powers or strikes

Thor - a guy who can take class 100 punches without too much severe effect jobs to bullets. Avenger's thor is way to inconsistent

Silver Surfer - one minute he's a high-end herald and the next, just a glorified street leveller with exotic powers.

Green Lantern - I find rayner and jordan disturbingly inconsistent at times

Scarlet Witch - well hex magic....or just her plain powers based on dissassembled had always been just that..

Wonderwoman - vs. Cheetah, vs. Slade, vs. Batman. she shouldn't be affected at all by a nerve strike by street levellers. And then there's her speed which fluctuates heavily based on the plot. probably just bad writing

Martian Manhunter - so far a contender for #1 spot. One or two speedfeats coupled with terrible jobbing.

Solomon Grundy - well, i guess there should be an explanation on his inconsistency in strength.

Basically, unless there is a logical explanation for the varying power levels (eg, Galactus's level of hunger, Hulk's anger), I find most top-tier characters quite inconsistent in terms of power level AND range of powers (ie, versatility).

Superman, Silver Surfer, Thor, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern: these and others are all characters who--if always written true to form--would likely quickly tax writers' imagination and skill.

They are all so damn powerful and can do so many things that it would be nigh-impossible to keep coming up with interesting and believable stories.
