10 Horror Superheroes Who Give Villains Nightmares

10. Deadman

You ever stop and think about how horrifying the idea of possession is? We're gonna guess yes considering how often it's portrayed as such in media, so it should come as no surprise that Boston Brand, the Deadman, is on this list.

Boston's whole deal is that he was a trapeze artist in life, until someone with a hook with a hand decided to practice his marksmanship skills while Boston was performing...with Boston's face as the target.

Now he wanders the world as a ghost, dealing with all kinds of supernatural problems as The Deadman. He's mainly at the bottom of the list due to the fact that the moment he opens his mouth (that easy going thick Boston accent takes most of the menace out of him), but considering he needs to possess people in order to interact with the real world, that's still quite a hurdle to get over.

But even besides that, Boston has been around for quite some time, so he knows how to leverage his ghostly status to scare his enemies into giving him what he wants. You don't mess with the Deadman.
