Powers and orgins aren't related hoped you realize 3 years later

[@noahvarghese7285]

@@Glmzy. well his origin is way better now so he doesn't deserve to be on the list anymore. Honestly, his origin 3 years ago wasn't bad either, just confusing.

Why tf is reverse flash on this list? His original origin isn't stupid, well the bomb was, but the rest was an interesting read.

[@mk6rfc1]

They never explained it properly why but when I did first hear his origin it did sound kinda silly

[@theninthsurvivor8164]

The origin of the Reverse Flash that you guys chose, yes is stupid, but the one that Eobard himself told in a recent issue of The Flash was a lot more interesting than some dude with a bomb, the fact that Thawne is doing all of this evil just to spent time with Barry was really interesting.

[@gohstdude2]

Lol No That was Just stupid

[@Paulafan5]

He even says that in the video, but the original origin of Reverse Flash is pretty lame.

[@GJKonop]

No, that origin is dumb as shit. His origin from Flashpoint: Reverse Flash and Road to Flashpoint (#8?) is way better.

[@lewishamilton.f1.44]

And in the flash tv series thawne origin is even more intressting and sad thawne wanted to be a hero but barry stole his moment after that he learned his fate was to become the flash supervillain so he followed that after he felt had nothing left

[@geoffreylarremore1999]

I quite like the idea of "Flag smasher" as the nemesis of Captain America. Obviously they could have had a better origins story but over all the idea makes sense and had potential.

[@jerico.b]

[@shadizersilverhand2113]

Because that's the opinion of the list creator, while you found it cool he didn't. It's not like this is an official list after all compiled from millions of votes.

Wouldn't Flag Burner or Flag Tearer be a better name? Flag Pole Smasher would make more sense too.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Reverse-Flash's origin got a bit stupider. He travels into the past, but then realizes, to his horror, he's gonna be Flash's worst enemy. So what does he do? He becomes the Flash's worst enemy! That'll show fate whose boss!

How the fuck are you gonna say Reverse Flash's original origin is worse than something like Big Wheel or Kangaroo?? Jesus christ lmao watchmojo is becoming as bad as ign

[@Paulafan5]

I think the fact that Reverse Flash is a major enemy of The Flash gives it more weight. Some obscure villain NOBODY has heard of versus a major villain's backstory. It's not that it's lamer, it's the fact that Reverse Flash is still a major character.

[@crispin-freeman]

To be fair, in the backstory they used for this video Eobard was only intended to be a one-off character

As I recall Catwomans old origin (1950s-60s) was that she was a train stewardess until the train she was working on got derailed in a bad accident with a runaway bulldozer (also known then as a catapillar tractor or 'cat'), she walked away from the crash with amnesia and decided to become a cat-themed thief and villain. Then there was Lex Luther, back in the pages of Superboy Luther was a teenage genius and friend of Clark Kent who built his own lab in his family's home. Then an accident happened causing the lab to catch fire, Superboy showed up quickly and put it out but when the smoke cleared Lex emerged with his hair falling out and blaming Superboy for both the fire and his baldness, vowing revenge on the Boy of Steel

[@briancorvello3620]

The thing you have to remember about Flag-Smasher is, he's bat-!@#$% crazy. And the Matador, ironically, had one advantage over those other guys you mentioned, he was smart enough to quit being a villain and get a regular job once he figured he was no good at it.

Composite Superman may have looked stupid, but you can't deny he hit the jackpot powerwise. Everything Superman has, times three (and he can temporarily boost any one of those to four times), plus electricity, magnetism, telepathy, heat projection, invisibility, intangibility, hyperintelligence, shapeshifting, size control, gravity control, molecular transmutation, and the ability to create two identical clones of himself with the same powers. Talk about OP...

[@shadizersilverhand2113]

Definitely the mostly terrifyingly powerful composite character around short of the one that showed up in the original Guardians Of The Galaxy (he was able to permanently copy ANYTHING he witnessed, from power to skill to talent, he ended up copying and nearly replacing the Living Tribunal before being stopped). If he'd realized he had a power depletion limitation first go around he'd have worked out a cure for it using his combined genius of Supergirl, Mon-El, and Brainiac or at least killed Superman and Batman before the power ran out and ensured he'd have a wealthy life after the powers were gone.

[@krizwatcher]

Well, re Reverse-Flash, without the revised origin you wouldn't have the first origin. He was a deranged fan of Barry Allen, used the Cosmic Treadmill to go back in time, discovered he was fated to die at Flash's hand, he went crazy(er) and deluded himself into thinking he WAS the then-dead Barry, got exposed and stopped by Wally West, forcefully sent back to the future (ba-dum-tish), lost his memory again except for having a deep hatred for Barry (and a lingering dislike of Wally for reasons he couldn't quite understand, but I digress), and from there we stream into the original origin where he got the Flash costume in the time capsule, etc...

[@WorldWeave]

I love how this entire list is read in a dramatic voice

[@konuralpyldzkan1495]

I knew the Matador would be on the list, but didn't expect him on the first spot.

[@AngryHomunculus]

So you mean to tell me that the origin of #1 was that he was a bullfighter who was booed for being too brutal? Something tells me that Marvel didn't understand bullfighting at the time

[@skettic6383]

Rainbow Raider was enough for me, the guy gets these glasses that shoot colored beams from his dying dad for...what exactly? Then later apon receiving this gift he just gets up outta bed one day and just thinks "I'm going to use these glasses to fuck shit up for absolutely no reason"

[@blackmercury2796]

Honestly, Flag-Smasher could be used as a very interesting villain if used correctly. Like he could be Marvel's Zaheer from the Legend of Korra. Doesn't excuse the fact that his original concept was stupid

I like the goldenage origin of the Cheetah 🐆 its one of the first time split personality disorder was use in comics for a villain. Also its a cool idea that someone hates you for no reason other then "Jealousy". Supergirl also (a few years later) had a villain (Lesla-Lar) who hated her because she wanted all the peoples love and attention she was from the bottle city of Kandor. The Lesla-Lar was zanging but great 👍

[@christophersfirstyoutubeca8751]

Joseph Meach didn't blame Superman for his misfortunes, he was jealous of him. That still doesn't excuse his actions, just thought I'd throw that out there.

[@codyhall2920]

I would have included super boy prime. Essentially the super man from an alternate universe were Clark Kent was born as an everyday human, he decides to dress up as super man during a Halloween party and suddenly gets all of super man's powers when the real super man suddenly shows up with no explanation and the two decided to save the world cause why not. After that all of super boy prime's adventers involve him traveling to every alternate universe and killing every incarnation of super man from said universe to ensure he is the only super man. He isn't stopped until golden age super man comes out of retirement and locks super boy prime in the dc comic's source code.

[@PrivateSparky]

Hey! I demand you include Codpiece! He's a DC supervillain who's backstory is simply too good to pass up! Due to an inferiority complex about the size of his, ahem, codpiece, he often interpreted comments against him in a negative light. Eventually he created a suit with a codpiece weapon system and became a supervillain. He primarily robbed banks. -taken from the D.C. Comics wikia page. In short, he was a guy who had penis size insecurities and compensated for it by building a suit with an extra large penis shaped attachment that was effectively a sci-if Swiss Army knife. Shaped like a dick. And he did it to rob banks for some reason.

[@shadizersilverhand2113]

Except he was meant to be ridiculous, they created a lot of bizarre and ridiculously silly heroes and villains for their Doom Patrol setting.
