4 Most Underrated Superheroes Of All Time

Due to how comics and comic book movies tend to showcase their most well known characters, some others get unfairly swept under the rug, and thus, end up in the “Underrated Superheroes” bin, never to be seen again.

There are so many superheroes that deserve way more credit. The reason for them not being household names could have come from several factors: they might not have had an interesting story; sales were lackluster for that character; or there could have been a misconception about him/her, leading to no one buying the comic. So, without further ado, here are the 4 Most Underrated Superheroes of All Time …

Aquaman

Might as well get the most obvious one out of the way first. Much of the Aquaman hate most likely stems from the old Super Friends cartoon from the 70’s. But, if you think about it, the show had awesome characters like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman … and then there’s Aquaman, who talks to fish, rides a giant seahorse, and uses two dolphins as jet skis.

With those attributes in mind, I can totally see why everyone thinks he’s lame. However, as of recently, Aquaman has shown his full power (it’s over 9,000!), thanks to Geoff Johns and several other writers. It’s time to show the King of Atlantis some respect. For crying out loud, he has the ability to make a great white shark eat someone alive! How is that not awesome!?

Ragman

With Aquaman, everyone knows who he is. Ragman, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. Nobody has ever heard of him, but he has some of the coolest powers and an awesome costume to boot.

Rory Regan, who goes by the alias Ragman, is Jewish. Now, I know that might seem really random, but it’s actually a really big part of his character. He wears the Suit of Souls, which is completely covered in rags. When he takes down someone who’s guilty, the suit takes that person’s soul more or less, and a new patch is added to the costume. With that soul, Rory is given that person’s abilities to use while in combat. And once finished, whoever’s soul he took, is allowed to ascend to Heaven.

Unfortunately, he hasn’t been given the spotlight in quite some time. He’s had some brief appearances over the years, but nothing major, which has contributed to where he is now.

Daredevil

Even with his very own acclaimed Netflix show, Matt Murdock is still not popular enough. Yes, the show did help with that tremendously, but you’ll probably never hear him in the conversation of being in the Top 5.

Seriously, give this man some credit! He’s completely blind, and he still somehow manages to be absolutely deadly. Not only is he inspirational for the blind, he looks cool while doing it. Additionally, he’s a lawyer—a blind lawyer who fights crime on the side. Pretty awesome if you ask me.

Moon Knight

Last but not certainly least, is Moon Knight. Or Marc Spector. Or Jake Lockley. Or maybe Steven Grant. Those are the four personalities this character has, although Marc Spector is the original.

To give you a brief rundown of his origin, he was killed and left for dead in the desert. Then, lying next to a statue of the moon god, Khonshu, he suddenly came back to life. Spector believed that he had to repay him by fighting crime, so he took the statue’s cloak. Netflix, I am begging you, please let the rumors of a Moon Knight show be true.
