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

Originally posted by Mindship
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.

Well said. And I agree. 👆

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

Superdick is definate.
SLADE! One minute, he can take out the whole JLA, and the next he's getting whomped by Nightwing? I thought he had precognition?
Wolverine, mostly because people get him and Ultimate confused. Someone yesterday said that 616 can cut through Iron Man's armor, when he can't!
Also, I'm surprised nobody said Carnage.

two for me...
1. superman...boyscoutism aside, even ppl whom he should be easily able to breeze thru he either chooses to talk it out with them, and lectures them how everyone should get along and blah blah, or let them get convincing blows in

2. Batman....if you go by the implications of mr. terrific he's either the 1st or the second smartest guy in DC, but going by how many abject geniouses i know are in DC bats is still in my top 10, but few have the resources he does...superboy, back in his leather jacket and shades days is the only person i can think of with a bigger ego, and more foolish pride than batman. this dude has the world as an oyster, he can literally create a battle suit unlike the world has ever seen and single handledly eradciate crime from gotham...the world even but NNOOOOOOOOOO he's all about doing things the hard way, to show that tho he doesnt have any powers he can still be as relevnt has anybody who dons a cape..

and kyle should be a god among insects. i cant believe that the same guy who contained exploding stars, survived black hooles, and absorbed all of OA's energy(to become ion) is the one i see getting his fingers broke by slade or being hypnotized to think he was blind, by having the ring slipped on his finger while he slept

I notice alot less people mentioned Wolverine, am I far off by assuming that its because they toned him down a bit...

Toned him down? They ridiculously overpowered him, which is why he's inconsistant! Unless you're talking about his first appearance, in which he was toned down from that, but not as much as some would think.

He could never sneeze a solar system out in the first place. T'was the magic dust that did that.

For the record, Pre-Crisis Superman probably had a more stable power level than todays version. It only seems to vary when you look at random feats posted online because those feats were written 20 or 30 years apart. It's like saying current Superman is inconsistent because in 1986 it took him 20 minutes to fly to the moon and he could barely lift a mountain while in 2006 he goes from Earth to the sun instantly and his punches cause holes in reality.

Maybe people have set aside their irritation from certain threads and are able to focus on the characters that are truly inconsistant rather than preceived to be out of spite and mallice.

IT's kinda like an obsession isn't it? 😂

Or it could be that Logan is such an inconsistent character that people are fed up of saying it 😉

Wolverine would suck without the X-Men to be honest. In the Uk there's a Wolverine/ Deadpool collectors edition and the Logan stories SUCK... though Wade owns all

The dust only made him sneeze but it didn't enhance his sneezing power or anything. Normal people were affected by the dust too and it's not like they went around blowing over skyscrapers. Earth 2 Superman casually out blew out stars at his peak.

Did he calculate how long it would take with Super-math?
