Animal Man
Animal Man AKA Bernhard “Buddy” Baker might sound like a silly name for a character (don’t a lot of superheroes names sound silly when you think about them, however?), but he’s actually pretty damn cool!
Having first appeared on panel in Strange Adventures #180 (September 1965), Animal Man has gone from something of a joke character to one who is now taken a hell of a lot more seriously.
He has the ability to gain the powers/traits of any animal that exists or has ever existed via a mystical force known as “The Red” so, for example, he could fly into the sky as an unseen bug and then drop on an opponent as a blue whale.
He also has the ability, like Deadpool, to break the Fourth Wall and, as a result, would make a very interesting movie character.
What do you think? Would these movies rival Deadpool for craziness? Which other zany characters could DC and Warner Brothers pull out of the bag? Have your say below.
