10 Weird Marvel Heroes You Won't Believe Exist

10. Sleepwalker

A lot of heroes find fighting crime to be a tough job, but there's one who can literally do it in his sleep.

Sleepwalker is an alien who came from the Mindscape, an alternate dimension that all intelligent minds unconsciously border. The Sleepwalkers act as the guardians of the Mindscape, stopping evil entities from invading the dreams of sleeping minds.

However, Sleepwalker (whose real name is unpronounceable) was tricked by one of his enemies and ended up trapped in the mind of a man named Rick Sheridan. This gave Sleepwalker the ability to materialise in the real world and he began using his powers to fight crime and injustice.

Sleepwalker is super-strong and can fly. Although, for whatever reason, he gets weaker the further he is from the ground. He also has his "warp gaze" which can alter the shape of anything he hits with his eye-beams.

Sleepwalker's arrangement has a pretty big downside though. He can only fight crime while Rick is asleep. As soon as his host wakes up, Sleepwalker is teleported back to the Mindscape.

It must lead to some pretty awkward situations, like Sleepwalker being on the verge of defeating Thanos, only to vanish because Rick got up to go pee.
