10 Most Inappropriate DC Comics Storylines Ever

10. Cinder Kills Sex Offenders With More Sex - Titans: Villains For Hire

There was a short period of time when the Teen Titans comic shifted focus from its line-up of famous sidekicks, to follow the story of Deathstroke and a team of niche villains. These villains didn't get much more niche than Carla Moretti, a.k.a. Cinder, an Italian woman with the power to turn her body into molten lava. Sounds like a fun character, right?

Wrong! Very, very wrong.

In a misguided attempt to address an important issue, Titans: Villains For Hire revealed that Cinder's origin story began when, as a child, she was molested by her uncle. She now spends her days getting revenge by hunting down sex offenders and, um... having sex with them. Thankfully, she doesn't leave it there: while having sex, she turns a certain part of her body into lava, burning the offenders to death. Why she needs to have sex with them to do this is never really addressed.

Although the series was trying to explore the trauma of victims of sexual assault, the whole thing was too underdeveloped and clumsily handled to be anything worth reading.
