I found myself, just now, wandering through several threads on Google that purportedly presented the “most hated” superheroes.

In each case, the real culprit was BAD WRITING. And, let’s face it, the characters have no control over how they are written. They don’t have control over ANYTHING.

If a character is badly written, take a moment to pity him/her.

I despair at what certain writers have done to some characters. I won't mention names, but there are writers who seem incapable of leaving their own world view behind, and they drag the characters down to their level.
