  • ambush book, you're a pretty obscure hero even for this show.

  • Welcome to watch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 strangest Dc superheroes question.

  • No one can know about this or what you'll incinerate me too for this list, we'll be looking at some of the lesser known, downright bizarre Dc comics superheroes.

  • Who is your favorite Dc Weirdo?

  • Let us know in the comments, number 10, detective chimp, originally a circus act, detective chimp or bobo, T chimpanzee was transformed into an intellectual being upon his encounter with the fountain of youth.

  • Since whoever stole the golden skull is unwilling to come forward, we're going to have to do this the hard way, isn't that right?

  • Detective Jim, following the death of his owner, fred thorpe, poor chippy had to find a way to make ends meet.

  • So he became a detective, complete with a Sherlock esque penchant for tobacco and alcohol.

  • Excellent detective work, old chum.

  • Don't patronize me.

  • O chum though, you may not have heard of the primate.

  • He has been around the DC comics world since 1952 with his debut appearance in Adventures of rex, the wonder Dog.

  • His superpowers are essentially his intellectual prowess and immortality.

  • So basically Sherlock Holmes, but he's a chimp and can't die.

  • Number nine.

  • Matter eater lad.

  • In 1962 Dc comics introduced a superhero in adventure comics that we would all know and love for decades cam.

  • Good to see you buddy.

  • Thanks, but it's it's Matter eater lad now.

  • Cool name.

  • Yes, that's right.

  • It's matter eater lad.

  • Wait, you haven't heard of him take a wild guess as to what his superpower is, why he eats Matter of course, 10 Zile kem from the planet bismol has the ability to eat anything.

  • We can't help but wonder if the name of his planet has something to do with a certain pink liquid digestive aid.

  • If the super human digestion isn't enough, he can always use his super tech sunglasses which have multiple functions including a lie detector.

  • If anything, however, he can always eat his enemies.

  • I'm happy to announce that the newest members of the legion of super heroes are Matter eater lad and star Boy.

  • Number eight.

  • Dead man D.

  • C.

  • Seems to have a thing for very literal superhero names.

  • Dead man is well, he's a dead man formerly named boston brand.

  • He was a trapeze artist in the circus after running away from a troubled home, he met his untimely death at the hands of an assassin who shot him down during his trapeze act.

  • It was a weekend show.

  • Full house boston was in the middle of his death defying act when holy coincidence batman that man's heard of me.

  • Sweet, but we digress his spirit remains to bring justice to whomever may need it.

  • There's a catch though.

  • He's a ghost so he can't really interact with anything alive.

  • He can enter the bodies of mortals and control them in a sort of possession.

  • I'm gonna make you pay.

  • He became a member of Justice League dark fighting alongside john Constantine and Zatanna among other weirdoes.

  • Number seven the creeper.

  • This isn't the type of creeper you may be imagining DCs, the creeper hasn't met chris Hansen, who is he?

  • Where did he come from?

  • What?

  • Diabolical scheme is he plotting?

  • Even now I'm Jack Ryder join me as we answer these questions and more On Joker, the madness behind the laughter.

  • He has a few different origin stories, something not unheard of in the world of comics, in his original incarnation in 1968, he was the result of a science experiment.

  • The story has been revised several times since either way he possesses the body of Jack Ryder, a talk show host and journalist in Gotham that was unexpected.

  • I better slow down here, try to figure out logically what's going on.

  • Whoa, that hurt.

  • Okay, we'll come back to that.

  • He's quite powerful, he can fly, control minds, has superhuman strength and the ability to possess weaker souls.

  • His Kryptonite is sunlight so he can only come out at night to fight crime and intimidate his enemies.

  • I am the creeper.

  • So tell me from one sociopath to another.

  • Where is the joker.

  • Oh and he is pretty creepy in the cartoons number six Mogo.

  • The living planet Mogo is a planet not to be confused with marvel's ego.

  • DCs living planet character is actually just a planet portraying itself occasionally through holograms, Mogo is also a green Lantern which at this point seemingly can be anything, it seems even a smallpox virus.

  • Ala, little pond, the sentient planet is in charge of reassigning the green lantern rings of deceased members.

  • He might not socialize, but he sure knows how to make an entrance.

  • It is also an actual play that does planet things such as regulate climate for its alien inhabitants all while watching over them.

  • Some creeper vibes right there when it feels like it, Mogo can rearrange the greenery on itself to form the green lantern symbol which honestly wouldn't make for a challenging hedge maze.

  • Number five.

  • Animal man, another example of lazy titles, Animal man was first introduced in the 1965 issue of Strange Adventures.

  • You stopped him due to some accidental radiation exposure from a crashed alien spaceship actor and stuntman Bernard baker was imbued with the powers to use the abilities of any animal as well as communicate with animals, mimic their cries and emit force blasts.

  • For some reason he can also control animals by entering their minds.

  • Honestly, it's safe to say that animal man, no matter how silly his name may sounds, is a force to be reckoned with, the possibilities for his powers are basically endless.

  • Oh and he's not neutered, he has a family, a wife and two kids.

  • Number four flex.

  • Mental.

  • Oh bro, do you even lift?

  • Well, flex mental.

  • Oh definitely does and it pays off in more ways than one flex has a superpower known as muscle mystery when he flexes his muscles, he can alter reality.

  • Certain muscles can do certain things such as allow him to survive in the vacuum of space.

  • He also has super strength, durability and stamina.

  • His actual abilities are a little vague but he can somehow affects the physics of things.

  • For example he once briefly turns the pentagon into a circle.

  • How did he get his powers?

  • Why a man with a T.

  • V.

  • For a head gave him a coupon to get a book called muscle mystery for you.

  • Doctor saucers, attempted robbery of the local aquarium was thwarted by our very own man of muscle mystery.

  • He read it and poof, physics defying physique number three ambush bug Irwin Schwab or ambush bug is an interestingly confusing character.

  • Someone's gotta stop him.

  • This sounds like a job for ambush bug.

  • His past is a little muddled as he apparently suffers from mental issues, thus making his origin story ambiguous.

  • He claims to have found the ambush bug suit after it fell from the planet Schwab conveniently his last name along with a sentient argyle sock which became his enemy.

  • You do not understand the forces you are playing with babe you heard right?

  • His arch enemy is an evil sock.

  • He mainly teleports as a super power and can break the fourth wall meaning he can read the internal dialogues of other characters, You gotta listen to me, one for fictional hero to another.

  • That's crazy talk.

  • We're not fictional, Yes, you are.

  • Me too.

  • But the difference is, I know I'm not real.

  • He's got issues but generally fights for good.

  • It's entirely possible.

  • He was created by an overworked writer number two Danny.

  • The street.

  • This is another bizarre one.

  • The character was created in 1990 is a sentient street.

  • No, really a stretch of road with a consciousness.

  • Apparently if they were human, they could be likened to a drag queen.

  • Inspiration for the name came from real life drag performer Danny.

  • Larue.

  • Danny teleports around the world and can integrate themselves into any geography, providing shelter for the needy, among other things, Danny.

  • The street Danny's on the street.

  • I think she's saying Danny is a street.

  • The streets are heat.

  • Danny's gender queer and they use non binary pronouns.

  • Danny is composed of many macho type stores, hardware sports etcetera yet adorned with frilly decor as a way to question heroic masculinity.

  • So basically imagine Rupaul, if she was a street does wearing heels while walking down Danny street cause pain before we unveil our top pick here are a few honorable mentions Brother power.

  • The geek, a hippie mannequin brought to life by a bolt of lightning and given superpowers the weird, a former slave from an alternate dimension who possessed a dead man's bay body on earth.

  • Read be a man with the ability to control bees and knock out enemies with a stinger gun and wild leg wear arm fall off boy a lazily named character who can detach his limbs and hit bad guys with them infectious lass.

  • A highly infectious, literally disease spreading alien lady.

  • Alright, infectious lass.

  • Darn that pesky radiation always creating superheroes and villains.

  • Larry trainor was exposed to radiation while test piloting the results being a heinous disfigurement and of course superpowers.

  • He wears bandages to cover his horrid face.

  • He can emit a negatively charged energy being known as negative man who does the fighting for him.

  • This isn't that great.

  • However, because it leaves the human body weak and vulnerable, it's also quite dangerous and he can only release the energy for 60 seconds at a time.

  • Otherwise he risks death.

  • The spirit kept me alive.

  • Well waiting for No, no, don't marvel nerds know that dr strange gets at least 24 hours out of body before any risks.

  • So negative man is kind of useless unless the fight is extremely short.

  • Do you agree with our picks?
