Painful Villain #4

Never has any villian managed to do less with so much. Such incredible power, such potential, but a never ending run of losses.

He could kill almost any enemy he comes across with just a thought, but he manages to keep losing. I haven't seen it, but I wouldn't be surprised if he even managed to lose to Rick Jones (without Mar-Vell).

Lame, pathetic, and you just know that any story he's in is going to leave you screaming...

"OH COME ON! JUST TURN THE AIR IN THEIR LUNGS TO CONCRETE AND BE DONE WITH IT!

Yes, kiddies, I'm talking about the Molecule Man

After all, he only has near absolute power over any non-organic molecule. Lots (LOTS) of ways to frag pretty much any hero short of the Silver Surfer without even trying. (Against the Surfer, he'd have to try).

He just keeps losing.

And Losing.

And Losing.

Ok, that can make an amusing story... once. Like so many of the Painful 10, this is a guy who makes a single good story. Yeah, chuckle at the moron. But he shows up again, and all you can do is cringe. Another round of idiocy. Huzzah. Nice when you give these incredible powers to a guy who can't outthink a 1957 Studebaker Coupe.

Up next... another "good for one story" sort. Off to the land of Superman...

*just shakes head, very very... slowly* Could they be any sadder? No... probably not. I know I've seen other villains like htis and they make me just go... "WHY!? WHY? WHY?"
