In the early 90's Marvel Comics put out a series of comics set in 2099. Future versions of Spider-Man, Punisher, Dr. Doom and Hulk appeared in said comics. A brand new character created by Stan Lee himself joined the fray in 1992.
Maybe my expectations are too high for comics having read plenty of Alan Moore. Snappy retorts I'm cool with. Heroes yelling, "Stupid scrumballs!" not so much. The series is all over the place. Ravage turns uber quick from corporate yes man to ass-kicking, garbage wearing vigilante. Every issue a random element is added or changed: Now he wears a super eye patch! Now he shoots blasts from his hands! Now he doesn't. Now he has horns on his face.
No surprise the series didn't do well. No surprise it was used as filler in the comic grab bag that I recently purchased.

Again with the Comics
Fishing through a recently purchased comic book grab bag, I thought I found the lamest comic book character ever in Dreadlox. She's a sexily dressed villain who touches her dreadlocks and energy warbles out of her and causes you to see what you dread most. Only minutes later she was usurped by a villain named Roadkill, a bulky zombie who aided by a dead talking cat, kills people on Route 66 looking for the person that ran him over. A quick google search proved me wrong. Confession of a Pop Culture Addict gathered a list of the lamest comic book characters, Dreadlox and Roadkill were nowhere to be found. Inexplicably DC Comics created and published comics featuring a crap hero named Dogwelder. His power? To weld dead dogs to people's faces. I don't even know what to say...
