Underestimated characters

I haven't read through the first couple pages, so tell me if I'm overstepping bounds.

Jimmy Olsen. Dude deserves a title. He had one for more than a hundred issues.

And all those who going on and on about Punisher being underrated despite having the feats have forgotten that all his opponents are totally watered down for Frank to prevail. His fights with others make no sense considering his opponent's feats. Feats and PIS resulting from bad writing are different. Frank owning some fodder in swordfight? Believable. Frank beating an unknown master swordsman in a swordfight? Plausible, but kinda difficult to digest when Frank had never shown to be skilled with swords, but can be explained with retcon. Frank beating Deadpool in a swordfight. Just stupid PIS brought on due to bad writing, jobbing Wade to make Frank look badass
Frank is consistently good though. But he's never beaten Deadpool in a sword fight. They never had a sword fight to my knowledge.

Didn't Frank get ninjutsu training? He's one of those characters that are formidable with most weapons, swords just aren't his usual style.

Guy Gardner, at least in story. Man's come through more times then not, even back in the Giffen days. Defeated Eclipsed Superman, even, yet always gets treated like the dumb jock by Hal, John, the JLA (Except Kyle, who respects him.)

wonder woman. sneer

Punisher is actually an expert in ninjuitsu that includes swords. I think it might have seen him doing sword training specifically but im not sure. I wouldn't be suprised because hes shown to be an expert with a bow and arrow.

Spawn... Everybody sarts out just thinkin he just another demon.. Then he go out and kills god

Thanos.

I'd say Nimrod could be pretty underestimated given his ability to adapt and some fights he has had.

I am pretty sure they did in an Thunderbolts issue
