Otis (Superman)

Henchmen aren’t generally presented as being particularly intelligent, but Otis really takes the cake. A bumbling, stupid, moronic, and plump servant of Lex Luthor, Otis was played by Ned Beatty.

He appeared in both Superman and Superman II – though his appearance in the latter movie was extremely small, comparatively – and he was even later adapted to the small screen in animated form, but he is undoubtedly one of the most incompetent henchman in movie history. Seriously, he was an absolute idiot – the kind you have to wonder why he was employed as such in the first place.

His sole purpose was for Luthor (and everyone else) to continuously embarrass and mock in humorous ways, but such were the enormous levels of his ineptitude that he got boring and annoying very quickly, indeed!
