The connotations of the word snowflake in our culture right now are something fragile and this is a character who is turning it into something sharp for this list will be ranking characters who have generated heated debate, upset fans or didn't age well.

For one reason or another, we'll be saving anti heroes and villains for another list down the road which of these heroes shocked you the most let us know in the comments Number 10 Ben Reilly.

Although some comic fans are more open today towards the idea of someone other than Peter Parker adopting the Spiderman persona.

This wasn't always the case.

I don't think I even want to hear your story, all of you must hear the scarlet spider story.

Ben Reilly could tell you about it.

He was introduced as a clone of Parker developed by one of spidey's enemies, marvel riders initially intended for Riley to take up the mantle of Spider man.

While fans were warming up to the idea, a plot thread was introduced saying that Peter was a clone the whole time I'm his clone or maybe he's my clone.

We're not sure backlash to this twist led to Parker resuming his career as new york city's favorite Webcrawler.

Although Riley has returned to comics and back to life a few times he's unlikely to ever take the mantle from Peter number nine gin genie during an interesting time for the X men franchise, a mutant named Jin Genie was introduced as a member of the X Force.

This heroin possesses a superpower with very troubling requirements.

In order for Jin Genie to emit seismic waves, she needs alcohol in her system as she gets increasingly more loaded, her attacks become more dangerous.

It was a little problematic to introduce a character who was encouraged to drink more to feel powerful, fortunately she didn't last very long.

This character was actually killed off in the very first issue of this new X Force, we wonder if Jin Jeannie would have had better luck joining Deadpool's X Force in his sequel film number eight, Power Girl.

A number of controversies have followed Power Girl.

One of her initial obstacles occurred when a Red con turned her from being superman's cousin to the granddaughter of an Atlantean sorcerer.

Well, that's no longer the case, fans are still very split as to how much Power Girl has been sexualized as a character.

Why aren't you with the boy, I'm close enough right here and he's not really that much of a boy, you know, he's 13.

On one hand, the hero born Kara Zor El is badass powerful and definitely her own heroine with a stellar reputation, but her revealing costume has been accused in the past of undermining these qualities, riders have tried to create various reasons for why she wears a suit that highlights certain assets, but no matter what the explanation is, her original costume is always likely to stir up conversation a little more mature than you, but I see your point.

Number seven hank Pym hank Pym is notable for not only being the first superhero to adopt the alias of ant man, but for also becoming Goliath, Giant man and yellow jacket.

However, this brilliant biophysicist also has a dark side that was demonstrated when he changed suits.

His most infamous moment came when he was still using his yellow jacket persona.

Not only did Pim mentally torment his wife, but he also struck her, it was hard to see him as a hero after doing something so criminal to his own spouse.

Pimm's reputation for angry and reckless behavior may have been one of the reasons EMC you chose to make scott lang the main face of the live action ant man franchise high I'm scott.

Did he just say hi, I'm scott.

What are you doing here?

First off, I'm a big fan, appreciate it.

So who the hell are you?

Um ant man number six Hit girl and Big Daddy.

The film adaptations of the Kick as franchise were already controversial due to the levels of violence on display, but the origins of hit girl are even more disturbing.

Once you dig a little deeper.

Her father Damon McCready A.

K.

A.

Big Daddy seems to think nothing of pushing his young daughter towards a dangerous life of crime fighting.

How was that?

Not so bad, kind of fun, huh?

Now you know how it feels, You won't be scared when some junkie asshole pulls a glock.

I wouldn't have been scared anyways, that's my girl.

The violence hit girl faces on a daily basis is all due to Damon's comic book fandom and his desire to live out his fantasies in real life.

This backstory was slightly shifted once the pair made it to the silver screen.

However, hit girls, coarse language and brutal actions still turned heads.

Once footage of the film was released, how do I get ahold of you?

You just contact the mayor's office.

He has a special signal that shines in the sky.

It's in the shape of a giant cock.

Number five.

Captain America, there was a time where negative asian stereotypes were placed next to images of Superman to promote the purchase of war bonds back in World War two, but he's not the only patriotic superhero who appeared in questionable stories after Captain America appeared in comics with racial caricatures.

He was involved in a controversial storyline.

While the device of Vietnam War was occurring when the Secret Empire storyline from 1974 hit shelves and depicted a not so veiled reference to sitting President Richard Nixon on the final panel.

It was not taken well, any changes to Cap also can cause immediate blowback just asked fans how they felt when it looked like Cap joined the Nazi organization.

Hydra.

Number four extra Neo Dc comics didn't get off to a great start by naming an openly gay character.

Extra Neo in the 19 eighties because the name translates to strange.

Unfortunately that's not the only aspect of the character that was bungled.

The character's personality, mannerisms and dress were all meant to embody lazy stereotypes about gay men.

Any hopes of Extranjero being a part of a revolutionary panel were continually dashed because he never got to enter a relationship to add insult to injury.

The character died after the stupidly named and almost equally offensive hemo Goblin gave the hero HIV thankfully Extrano has since been resurrected and treated with more respect in modern times.

Number three Snowflake and safe Space In 2020 marvel comics decided to bring a bunch of fresh faces to their new warriors team.

The new roster included a non binary hero named Snowflake and their sibling Safe space.

The pair were supposedly given those names to make terms that had been used as insults into inspiring heroes.

This idea that these are terms that get thrown around on the internet that they don't see as derogatory to take those words and kind of wear them as badges of honor.

However many audience members thought it was either insulting are far too cringeworthy to use characters just to put a spin on those terms Snowflake is the person has the more offensive power and safe spaces.

The person is the more defensive power.

The idea was that they would mirror each other and complement each other.

Within the first two years of these characters being announced, fans started seeing less of them around.

It's unclear whether the company will try to rename these characters or let them fade into obscurity.

Either way, the pair's history definitely got off to a rocky start.

Number two.

The black bomber, The black bomber was a racist white man who was exposed to a chemical during his time in the Vietnam war.

This exposure caused him to turn into a black superhero with no memories of his other identity.

Thankfully, this horrifically tone deaf Black bomber idea was justifiably scrapped and unreleased and as a bonus, his failure actually pushed creator Tony Isabella to bring the groundbreaking hero Black Lightning to the world.

However, the idea around Black Bomber wasn't exactly forgotten.

The legendary creator Dwayne McDuffie would later make fun of the character in a Justice League comic.

His Brown bomber tried to show the heroine vixen that he could help but just like most people, she saw him as a big joke.

Number one big bertha.

Although marvel's Ashley Crawford a.

K.

A big bertha can be very likable and funny, it quickly became apparent that there's an uncomfortable part of her character.

She has the power to greatly increase her body mass so that she can endure heavy hits and strike back just as hard outside of heroic work.

Big bertha works as a model during her downtime.

She initially got into the shape of a stereotypical model by getting rid of her mass.

In an uncomfortable way, bertha's methods of shedding pounds made it seem like the writers were making light of people who struggle with conditions like bulimia.

Although the heroine does often comment on double standards of beauty in society, her disturbing methods are still rough to watch.
