Default Comic's Greatest Mullets:

These ones come first to mind:



The Supermullet. Really, what can be said? The World's Greatest Superhero, the first Superhero, rockin' the trailer park chic. Wow.



Now this is a truly epic... or appalling..... mullet.

Unfortunately, it suffers from the rest of the truly appalling design of the character. Everything you see here sort of kicks your aesthetic sense in the 'nads, so it's hard for it to truly reach it's full potential as hair-that-kills-your-will-to-live.


....and probably the best mullet in comics....



....Longshot.

Sorry, for me he gets the #1 spot. Because that's really all I remember about him. Name... implies something about luck. An avenger or an x-man or something, married to someone, blah blah blah...... but oh my God, the hair. Only the hair remains in sharp focus in my rememberences.

So there you have it; my vote for best mullet in comics goes to Longshot.

What mullets do you remember?

I don't know how to post pictures, but didn't Dick Grayson used to have a really gross one?

Back when he wore high waisted khaki pants and gaudy button up shirts, open to about the nipples to show off his chest hair and you could basically smell the excessive amounts of cheesy cologne wafting from the page?

Sue Storm had a pretty atrocious one. Of course, given this was Sue we're talking about, it's not like she didn't ever wear a worse hair style.

He and post-death Superman are the first two characters to pop up in my head when thinking of comic mullets.

Grayson's was probably one of the worst mullets I've seen. Dixon & co made a good choice, early in Nightwing's ongoing title, to get rid of that thing.

I think I remember Huntress having a horrid looking mullet as well.

This is pretty much what I can find looking for DIck Grayson mullets:







This last one.... what the HELL?

Found the last at this site which reminded me of the horrors of the Spidey-Perm.

Polaris had the best. She managed to combine the mullet with Wolverine's inexplicable hairstyle.

Longshot is purely the reason why I grew a mullet in the late 80's. Mine could never look as awesome as his 'cause my hair has a slight natural curl to it. He clearly defines the comic book mullet.

That was technically Malice; really, what greater sign of villainy is there then a hairstyle that bad?

Was there ever a connection made between the Malice that possessed Polaris and the one that possessed Sue Richards?

I realize the latter was supposedly Sue's own inner darkness but I also recall that DeFalco, who was -- I think -- the last one to really bring up Malice and really ran it into the ground by keeping Sue under Malice's influence for around 40 issues, established that Malice was an alien creature, a psychic parasite.

Plus they both cause the women they're possessing to get mullets:
