You have several instances where you are talking about completely different characters who happen to share the same name. You are completely missing decades of character growth (as in Green Arrow losing his fortune and becoming a crusader for the oppressed before the New 52 reboot or Garth growing to become Tempest) or continuity (preceding the SIlver Age Sandman mentioned, there was Wesley Dodds, The Golden Age Sandman, a member of the Justice Society and main character in Sandman Mystery Theatre. All of whom where connected in one way or another to the Dreaming and Morpheus.) I usually enjoy these reports but when it is so painfully obvious that the person writing hasn't done the homework, it just makes me sad.

If your talking about the original Catman character he does not belong to DC comics. He is actually a hero that is rentable from his owners who can be used for a limited time in any comic company's stories for a fee.

The Modern Alan Scott is a great character. The Sandman, from the JSA, is a powerful geomantian... Tempest was a cool hero before he was swaped with a (another) black character. Awful list.

Superman wasn't an "awful" superhero before Crisis on Infinite Earths. The under-powered Superman was invented because he was easier to write, but far less interesting. Aqualad and the other sidekicks were reinvented back in the 80s by the Teen Titans. Although I prefer Hal Jordan to Golden Age Green Lantern--primarily because the Green Lantern Corps is unique--Alan Scott had a sort of Third Doctor appeal.

hey Ewan, how come you didn't mention that there was another sandman Wesley Dodds? And why didn't you mention it the sandman you showed from the 70s was created and drawn by Jack Kirby? And he made more appearances later on

10. Awful, in retrospect. The horse belonged, and was in love with, Supergirl. 9. The original was fixed once in the 80s, but the new guy does seem cooler. 8. Obviously has a purple cape. The ineffectiveness against organic matter, is no worse than the later GL ring being weak against yellow. 7. Legion of Super-Heroes. Also Death of Superman Superboy has also not aged well. 6.

That was the superboy they were supposed to meet. One that never knew them. Instead the crisis subverted two superboys toward the legion they had never met. In other words the trapper got that world destroyed. So they find kal and it turns out that Saturn boy himself had murdered the trapper and took over. Created the pocket universe in his image because his gf died. Just saying. Funny huh, the controller that was the actual trapper inside the maw gets murdered by jan in an alternate line who then gets replaced by prime himself. Apparently shazam didnt have that actual cornerstone during the actual event. Which plays in the background of every DC backdrop. The infinite war continues on. As you can see with the foragers and anti monitor reborn

9. Aqualad's big problems included, first, he was too dark for the Silver Age. (Seriously, he was basically left for dead by his own parents because of superstition.) Secondly, he had the same problems as Aquaman, too narrow in utility. Thirdly, when he was a kid, his lungs were underdeveloped, so he had to stay underwater. (There's a whole bit in Titans: Year One where Robin subjects him to dangerous experiments. Oh Robin, you war criminal.) The fourth thing is, they always color his eyes wrong, either making his irises black or purple, not actual violet. He was fixed by first, becoming the weather wizard Tempest. He can control all water. And my studies say that's what 2/3 of your typical bad guy is. (Yeah, he's now basically as unintentionally lethal as the Flash, but not on a multiversal scale like the Flash.) Secondly, he can breathe now. And the new Aqualad, Jackson Hyde, is Black Manta's son. That can be doable. 8. Interesting how they make the weak Green Lantern gay. (I mean, to be fair, the Lanterns are also in that same OP category.) 7. Superboy was basically just like Wonder Girl. In fact, both became their own characters. The first effort to fix him was Superboy-Prime, the Clark Kent of our universe. But he wasn't Kryptonian; he did acquire Kryptonian powers, however, and none of the weaknesses. (So, basically, magic kryptonite making loud noises under a red sun won't hurt him.) He was a hero of Crisis on Infinite Earths, so nothing bad will ever happen to him, right? Certainly he won't go wacko from the isolation of his paradise and mourning our universe (Yeah, that happened. Our universe was destroyed in 1986, like nearly other universe. But it was brought back in 2006, along with 50 others. Make of that what you will.) and start committing multiversal genocide while spouting such gems as "You're ruining everything!", "Everything was better on my Earth.", and "I'll kill you! I'll kill you to death!" or anything like that. Death of Superman happened in the meantime. (Another reason DC readers hate Superboy-Prime: He killed Superboy.) The current Superboy is Clark and Lois's son Jon. He's seen with Damian Wayne a lot. Now if we could only get DC to stop calling Damian Ian... 6. Green Arrow is kinda funny because part of this revamp, the Green Lantern/Green Arrow series, led to DiDio "improving" Roy Harper by killing his daughter and making him a drug addict again. 5. The funny thing is how Nightwing is still known as Robin. Though I should mention, the name is a Superman reference. Which has to be epic shade on Dick's part. 4. Quick aside: Jason Todd wasn't really hated except by one dude who called in like, over a hundred times. Also by Jim Starlin, but that was more the concept of Robin, because it made him think of child abuse. So, Jim Starlin did what he always does, killed half the Robins. *snap* 3. Probably the worst thing about Animal Man is, what does he get from imitating what animals? There's little rhyme or reason to it. 2, There was also a Bat-Girl. Yeah, Barbara Gordon is the second Batgirl, followed by Helena Bertinelli, Cassandra Cain, and Stephanie Brown. 1. Ah, the Sandman. What can be said besides, making him more ethereal and giving him six equally ethereal siblings?

So, Batman and Robin were accused of being gay(oh my!) and they introduced Batwoman. Who is now a gay icon. Got it.

While the 70's Sandman was crap (and mentioned in Neil Gaiman's Sandman series), there was one other Sandman...who was awesome. The WW2 era Sandman, who would hit villains with sleeping gas, sprinkle them with sand from a magic bag to induce karmic dreams, and fought crime that way. The stories were weird, off the wall...but very interesting.

Anybody know the show or movie that the clip from 4:04 is from?

I've always liked Garth, but I admit he got better when he became Tempest.

So 9 wasn't so much 'fixed' but kill off and completely replaced?

Kiteman? Kiteman! Kiteman. "He's a villan?" He's a hero in my heart!

The fact how Kate was originally made to prove Batman wasn’t gay and later she became gay is hilarious to me

My fav sandman will always be Wesley Dodds

No the best one is James Fullington.

Actually, the first Sandman wasn't the seventies failure. He was a member of the Justice Society of America created in the 1940's and was named Wesley Dodds. His motif and look was pretty standard for heroes of the era (ie: Green Hornet, the Spirit, Doctor Occult) and, while he was never a breakout star on his own, he was well liked within the confines of the JSA and it's later companion title All-Star Squadron so to say the Sandman started out a failure would not be entirely the truth.

I'm surprised he didn't include The Flash if he was able to include Green Lantern, considering the fact that the Silver Age versions of both superheroes are superior to their Golden Age counterparts. :P

I consider Mystery Theatre to be Sandman’s reinvention.

Comet the Super horse was in love with Supergirl, and I believe she was his "owner"

3:58 this art's actually pretty awesome. I love how starfire and raven looks like

Comet the Super-Horse was Supergirl's pet even though he was originally a centaur. A long story.

Don’t forget that the original Sandman made an appearance in the new Sandman along with his sidekicks and pregnant wife. The way Morpheus treated this character went on to play a major role in what happens towards the end of his run. Let’s just say the widow proves very problematic.

implying the Jack Kirby Sandman (Yes, that's Jack Kirby you're making fun of) was the "original" Sandman is like calling the 70's blue alien Starman the original Starman. In extremely similar ways. Both were Golden Age heroes unsuccessfully reinvented in weird 70's comics and both integrated into the history of successful relaunches much later.

I have never seen animal man I thought they were gonna say animal man turned into beastboy

If Sandman created my dreams he is one hell of a fucked up lad

I think Animal Man is the only one I can agree with. Alan Scott is a great character. Jason Todd was really interesting before Crisis. Afterwards DC just ruined him for some reason. The re-vamp of Hawk and Dove was pretty clever. They went from being war/anti-war brothers to avatars of Chaos and Order who fell in love.

“Let’s talk about awful Superheroes DC saved with reboots.” #1 is the superhero literally everyone has tried to copy.

Jackson was introduced in Brightest day and then shelved for YEARS.

Research would have shown you that Comet the Super Horse was in love with SuperGIRL. And the first Sandman was Wes Dodd’s, who was in the JSA.

It's mind boggling how little this video got right about any of these characters ...

Hey you have to respect their 5 minutes of wikipedia research! Actually reading comics takes a lot of time!

I mean a lot of this just looks like incarnations of characters that just didn’t age well, not inherently bad

While Wertham did write Seduction of the Innocent and wasn't without controversy in regards to the work or other related opinions even now, I don't think it fair to categorize him as a villain. He did do some good work in his career.

It's Supergirl who had Comet the Super Horse, not Superman.

I have to agree with a lot of these comments. Do your research. Felt like you read the cliff notes of these characters and wasn’t telling the entire story. For example, Alan Scott GL wasn’t that awful for when he was created. Super heroes had limitations. Superboy was a great character. Spawned the Legion of Super Heroes before retconned (and retconned). He was an attempt to connect with younger audiences who wanted to see Superman as a teenager.

I vaguely recall Sandman winning literature awards back in the day and the backlash that came because of it. The 90s were not all cowabunga dude, some days we unradicool

Disagree with Garth. He should've stayed at being Tempest the wizard. He was the normal progression from side kick to his own hero with his own power sets. And,he took that water body suit and made it cool..

I fuckin love Animal Man. One of the best storylines I've read in comics was Swamp Thing and Animal Man's New 52 crossover. Say what you will of new52's problems (there were... many) but neither Swamp Thing nor Animal Man were one of them. Perfection

One line in the Dark Knight trilogy got something right about Batman right in the comics. The Batman is a symbol and he could be anyone. Even though the comics only has someone else be Batman just to cover for Bruce Wayne BUT still. Anyone could be Batman so that lowkey means that anyone can be a hero if they want to be

Best part about the old Sandman is his connection to the new one.

Alan Scott is the one true Green Lantern.

The sandman you use as the terrible example was preceded by the original sandman AKA Wesley Dodds. He was closer a pulp fiction style here early on as was wrecked when he went to long underwear.

The number of inconsistencies in this video is so staggering...they should have done more research

Superboy was not a "derivative" version of Superman, he was Clark Kent as a boy. All those stories were set in the past of Superman's current world, and actually, the Superboy stories were head and shoulders superior to the Superman comics of the time, in my humble opinion.

After the first 2 I decided the child who wrote this has an opinion that doesn't matter at all. Thanks for wasting my time lil guy.

Superman was never a bad character, he's always what he needs to be when we need him to be

Wait wait wait...wasn't the first Superboy just a younger Kal-El and they were just stories of him in his younger days? Also, you say he's bad because he's just Jr Superman but then you say he was improved by being turned into...Jr Superman...what?

8:27 Did he call Wertham a villain? Because while the book stunted many characters (Batman) it also led to the Silver Age, which gave us characters like Barry Allen.

We had a perfectly good batwoman, and yet, for some reason, CW felt the need to give us a new Batwoman that was literally just "hehehe, I'm batman, but I'm a girl!" we have a cool supergirl in comics, but somehow they failed to translate that over to TV too, instead, opting to give the female character an easy ride by making the male character look... not good

I'd no idea that Sandman was originally was in the 1970s.

The 70s version was actually a reboot of this other sandman from the 40s

Anyone who starts off a list of "awful" characters with Superman clearly doesn't know shit about comics. But why take my word for it? Watch some of his video's and he'll prove it himself

Actually Superman should have kept the shape-shifting. It would have made more sense than just using glasses to disguise himself.

The 1990 sand man was pure cringe it was in the comic era where everything had to be dark and gloomy in order to sale that is the same era that gave us the over the top dark super hero's like spawn, Lobo and Crow
