Do I go with a character I like and respect? Or do I go with someone thats so laughable and ridiculous I can't help but love them?
Well, for this installment, I have to go with the latter. I humbly present to you:
D-Man.
What's that you say? Isn't he just Wolverine in Daredevil's old-school costume? Or, isn't that Daredevil with Wolverine's mask on?
Or even better, shouldn't this just be about Daredevil to begin with?
Well, I have to say you're probably right but D-Man or Demolition Man is a special breed of hero. He's well, pretty much a schlub no matter how you look at it.
Dennis Dunphy took advantage of an experimental strength augmentation process to further advance his dreams of becoming a famous athlete. But as is the case with steroids he finds himself too strong for normal sports and is forced into becoming a professional wrestler and partime superhero.
Soon after, Dunphy goes crazy from his drug treatments, attacks Captain America and has a heart attack and retires from both the heroing and the wrestling.
I'm guessing this is a path most superheroes don't follow because after this, D-Man becomes homeless and begins living underground with a bunch of other homeless people.
Yep. He's a homeless superhero.
Since everyone seems to have forgotten about D-Man and I can't find a picture of him, here's Christopher Lloyd who played a homeless theif in 1993's Dennis The Menace film
While Batman and Iron Man have ungodly amounts of money, Aquaman and Namor are Kings of the Oceans and Superman gets to bang Lois Lane, D-Man is subject to eating beans from a can and probably giving handers to truckers for a couple dollars to buy newspapers to read about the exploits of heroes better than him.
And honestly, what's more awesome than that?
