9. Joe Public

America! Hell ye – okay, maybe right now isn't the time or place for that sort of sentiment. But hey, Joe Public has a super patriotic design for no good reason and, since he came about during the Clinton Administration, I'm totally okay with that.

Joe had a steady job as a Gotham City gym teacher, which should have led him down a path as supervillain Captain Dodgeball. But before he had time to build himself a gun powered by crunches or whatever, his world was shaken to its core by the death of a beloved student. The student died from a bad batch of Ecstasy, and this drove Joe to go avenge him.

He tried to take care of business, but since he was, y'know, a gym teacher, he found himself unable to deal with drug lord "Happy Jack" until Batman stepped in.

On his way out, he was attacked and spine sucked by space parasite Gemir. He gained the power to draw strength from those around him, meaning that he was literally incapable of solving problems by himself.
