3. Hook
Ever since Green Lantern/Green Arrow, Oliver Queen has always been seen as an inherently political character. So is it any surprise that it was his Bloodlines crossover that gave us Hook?
Kieron Masterson was a blind Vietnam War veteran who lost an arm in the conflict. Presumably, he went blind after getting out of the army, although if that wasn’t the case it would explain how he lost the arm. Kieron wound up living on the streets in Seattle, where he was attacked by an alien parasite.
This gave him the power to see people’s “aurasâ€, a power you’ll recognize from that weird girl you went on one date with in college, during which she exclusively talked about kale and crystals.
This power stands in sharp contrast to his weaknesses, which are (as listed by the DC Database) Blindness, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Missing Limb. Those, uh, those seem like steep obstacles to overcome to be a superhero.
