Superman is from a different planet. Spiderman was bitten by a radioactive spider. Batman operates from his Batcave. All totally normal… and we know and celebrate them! But there are some pretty weird superheroes, some with stunning superpowers, who have not received the limelight. Shall we zoom in on them, this time?
The hero who conquered matter
Matter Eater Lad never made it big, but what he was capable of was truly amazing. You see, he can eat matter in all forms! Iron bars, no problem. Rocks? Bring them on. He might not even say no to the rock-hard rotis Mum said you shouldn’t throw away! Interestingly, he is from a planet known as Bismol. Like Pepto Bismol, the planet probably offered its folks super digestive power! By the way, Matter Eater Lad went mad after gobbling down the supposedly indestructible Miracle Machine!
Bring on the fireworks!
Jubilee – does the name ring a bell? Guess not. You’re not to blame because she was created without a “super” superpower! All Jubilee could do was shoot out fireworks from her fingers. A neat trick to show off in the classroom, but among the behemoth superheroes out there, Jubilee is like a little ant.
The other “Wonder Woman”
Ever heard of Big Bertha? Probably not. She is a normal woman by day, but as a superhero, she can add hundreds of pounds of fat to her frame and turn into a formidable mutant who is super-strong and difficult to stand up against. Wondering how she gets back to her normal size? She has to throw up to do that!
Clones…and more clones!
Multiple Man has to be the ultimate superhero, yet surprisingly he’s not. The physics behind his superpower is nothing short of amazing! He absorbs kinetic energy to create duplicates of himself. The kinetic energy is directly proportional to the number of clones. Let’s say he stamps a foot, there’s one duplicate, but if he jumps from a building, the kinetic energy is so high, that he can generate many duplicates, each with the same ability. He is a very special one man army!
Don’t freak out…
Arm-Fall-Off-Boy’s superpower is about as bad you imagine it is. Yes, when threatened, he has the ability to rip off his own limbs and use them as weapons, probably like clubs. However, wouldn’t it be more practical to grab a stick or a rock lying on the ground? It comes as no surprise that this poor superhero was featured in just a couple of comics.
