5. U.S. Ace

(Marvel Comics)

There are few things I love more than weird, gimmicky superheroes who try to capitalize on specific trends. And there's at least one more on this list.

Of course, I need to discuss U.S. Ace, the trucker superhero. Ulysses Solomon Archer (get it?) was a trucker by blood. His mom and dad were both truckers, and he followed in their footsteps. That is, until both parents died in a horrific trucking accident.

Ulysses was adopted by his aunt and uncle…*squints at page*…Poppa Wheelie and Wide Load Annie.

Well, then. I hope this doesn't get any more ridiculous. Oh, wait. Ulysses was run off the road and had the top half of his skull replaced with metal that allowed him to control radio frequencies. He used this to turn his truck into a weapon he could control with his metal head, and I LOVE THIS.

Why Wasn't He Bigger: Honestly, literally everything about him.
