5. Clock King

The Clock King is a good example of a guy who had other options that weren’t supervillainy.

William Tockman was a good guy who spent his time taking care of his terminally ill sister. But a doctor told him that he only had six months to live, and he panicked, worried about his sister’s future well-being. So he decided to perfectly time a bank robbery, which he would have carried through completely flawlessly, except Green Arrow showed up and beat the hell out of him.

In prison, Tockman discovered that the doctor had mixed up some paperwork and Tockman WASN’T actually dying! Oops. That’s a serious lawsuit right there. Like a big deal money-earning lawsuit.

All Tockman had to do was pursue it legally and not dress up in a super villain costume and try to kill people…Oh wait, that’s exactly what he did. Dammit, William, you had one job.
