Just put on the damn mask already, Hugh.

Out of all the movie studios responsible for adapting superhero comics, it's fair to say that for a long time, 20th Century Fox was probably the most universally despised among fans. They've turned things around in recent years with movies like X-Men: First Class, The Wolverine, and Deadpool, but only after screwing up the Daredevil, Elektra, and Fantastic Four franchises, and very nearly the X-Men and Wolverine ones too. Perhaps the biggest pet peeve when it comes to Fox is regardless of how good or bad the Marvel movies they've released have been, they've really dropped the ball on a lot of great characters. I'm not talking about the ones who have just made pointless cameo appearances though; the studio and those responsible for their movies have well and truly f***ed up a lot of great A-List heroes and villains! Yes, Marvel Studios and Warner Bros.' DC Films have made their fair share of mistakes, but Fox might just be the worst of them all when it comes to failing to do these great characters justice. What you'll find here are the eight most devastating examples of Fox's biggest misfires. Some names will be instantly familiar, though there are others you'll no doubt wish you could go back to forgetting...
