10 Weird DC Heroes You Won't Believe Exist

10. The Weird

Well if we're going to talk about DC's weirdest superheroes, it would be wrong to exclude a guy whose name is literally the Weird.

The Weird was a character who appeared in his own miniseries in 1988. He was a member of a race called the Zarolatts, beings of pure energy who came from an alternate dimension. The Zarolatts had been enslaved by the evil Macrolatts who used the docile race as an energy source. The Weird rebelled though and, when the Macrolatts discovered a way to cross dimensions, he escaped and fled through a portal to Earth.

The Weird then possessed the body of a dead man named Walter Langley and gained a portion of his memories. In this form he could fly and alter his density to become either intangible or as strong as Superman.

He then assembled a group of heroes to help him repel the Macrolatt invasion. Unfortunately, the Weird didn't make it past the last issue of his miniseries. He discovered that his new body was unstable and about to reach critical mass. To save Earth, he flew out into the depths of space and exploded.

Then he was resurrected a few decades later by random space magic. Hey, it makes about as much sense as everything else in the last few paragraphs.
