Goofiest Characters of all time...

[icctrombone]

another classic

[Bad Wolf]

I love how they point out that the mustache trap has never been shown before. That makes it more exciting.

[Venomous Mask]

The Hypno-Hustler recently made an appearance in Avenging Spiderman. They didn't update him at all, just made him out to be an insane, incredibly out-of-touch goofball:

Love Rocket Racer personally....sure his whole costume and get up were pretty goofy but I could live with it.

Didnt Gibbon and a couple other appear in a Spec Spidey issue, as some group of super-villain rejects? As I recall, Beetle was also part of that group.

And hahhaah...Hyno Hustler wow....never thought I would see him again

[Jezebel Bond]

Rocket Racer and Fool Killer are two of the biggest losers I can think of for Spidey so far.....

Gibbon was in a great little spider man story - from crappy memory dude is in a helicopter as a cameraman filming spiderman when he thinks ahh what the hell this is last chance for fame and dons the gibbon suit and attacks - easily wiped out but then beetle attacks and gibbon realises he's a total loser and decides to help spiderman out blah blah - spiderman lets gibbon take the credit for the victory having basically kicked a man when he's down. Nice done in one (which probably didnt happen in any which way that i have described). Goofy and tragic = double win

crappy memory dude

Great idea for a new hero.

Great idea for a new hero.

kickstarter.....

Streamlining things even more, given crappy memory dude's self-evident superpower, continuity wouldn't be any sort of consideration at all. Not even such basic info as character names!

plus no need for an origin or back story - ahhhh easy street. chromium die cut cover collectors edition and 32 blank pages on a very erratic schedule here we come.

This kid will always take the cake in my books, along with the Red Nine.

That was played for laughs though. I consider characters to be more goofy when they are meant to be taken seriously.

And while I appreciate the impassioned defense of Gaard from a couple of you, he solidly falls into that category for me. His goofy gimmick took away from his tragic story, and simply made it cringeworthy for me. But hey, I never thought I'd see people defending Gaard it's nice to know that every character has a few fans out there! ;)
