While Marvel is known for putting out many quality characters, sometimes their characters just don't hold up, as these characters from the '80s prove.
Marvel is known for putting out hundreds of fantastic characters, but some of the characters that debuted in the '80s are the worst. Whether it be through character design or useless powers, not every character has held up like prominent characters like the Avengers and the X-Men. Some characters were just been bad and will continue to be bad long after their creation.
Frog-Man Eugene Patilio, otherwise known as Frog-Man, is certainly in the category of oddball characters Marvel has put out. After discovering a frog suit his father had used for evil, Patilio decided to become a superhero with it, becoming the Fabulous Frog-Man. Sadly, Frog-Man fails to become anything more than a joke character. His victories were by sheer luck, and he is ultimately powerless and useless without the suit he wears.
Puma Thomas Fireheart was the result of generations worth of genetic engineering to become the superhuman known as Puma. In his Puma form, Fireheart gained enhanced strength, speed, and senses, and became a mercenary, essentially, working alongside both villains and heroes on multiple different occasions.
Unfortunately, Cheney fails to be an overall great character. Her powers, while incredible, don't work over small distances, leaving her to be nothing more than a transportation service for her allies. She also fails to stand out in any way, aside from her failed early attempt to "sell" Earth to an alien race.
Demolition Man Dennis Dunphy, otherwise known as Demolition Man, or D-Man, first gained his powers through addictive pills supplied by the Power Broker, a villain that comic book fans know much about. After the Power Broker's crimes were revealed, he turned on him and freed himself from the addiction. Following this, he has assisted heroes like Captain America and the Avengers as well as fought them in a few cases.
Overall, the character simply doesn't do much in his few appearances. His backstory, a tragedy that is all too common in superhero origin stories, makes him resent his life and want to die, even driving him to cut off his own wings in an attempt to remove his healing factor along with them.
