12 Worst Superhero Team-Ups Ever

5. The Punisher and Eminem

You€™d think the worst for ol€™ Frankie would be over after the Archie debacle, but sadly the worst was to come. Probably even more unfortunate was the worst for the Punisher wasn€™t being killed by Wolverine€™s emo-raging son and turned into a Frankenstein-like monster for a year, or even being thrown into space and having to €“ well €“ be The Punisher in space. No, Frank Castle€™s worst hour came during a team up with the Real Slim Shady.
In 2009€™s Eminem and The Punisher, the titular rapper and anti-hero team up to take on the B-list assassin Barracuda. What resulted was a one-shot that served to be nothing more than a phallic extension device for Mr. Mathers. Whether he€™s pistol whipping and murdering Punisher look-a-likes or saving the superhero by eviscerating a contract killer with a chainsaw, Eminem and The Punisher seemed to exist solely to appease Eminem€™s superbly grand ego at the expense of The Punisher€™s masculinity. It€™s a shame, because such a crossover teased the possibility of The Punisher murdering Eminem, which would have made a far more entertaining story. Content for future fan fiction, I suppose.
