The 10 Most Asinine 1990s Comic Book Characters Who Never Caught On


The list, care of io9.

From said list...

4. Dreadlox
Who:
The supervillain with the worst name of the 1990s

Many years back, a grade-school version of yours truly picked up the hologram-covered, much-ballyhooed first issue of Secret Defenders, a comic that promised to unite all of my favorite shitty 1990s superheroes (like Darkhawk and Nomad) on a single team with Wolverine. The massive cliffhanger at the end of the issue is that Wolverine and Spiderwoman will next brawl with a (possible) disco dancer dubbed "Dreadlox," who needed a sidekick named "FearBagel." Back in those heady days, I'd buy anything with Wolverine or foil on the cover — I didn't buy Secret Defenders #2.
