10 Awful Comic Book Characters That Don't Deserve A Movie Adaptation

7. Hypno-Hustler

While DC and Marvel duke it out at the box office, Sony has been clamoring for its own piece of the pie. In 2012 the studio threw its hat into the ring with the box office success The Amazing Spider-Man. This summer Sony will release The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and the studio seems to be following Warner Bros and Disney's lead by cramming as many characters as possible into the new film. Spider-Man will face off against his arch-nemesis Electro as well as the Rhino. Rumors abound that even more villains may show up in the form of the super-villain super group The Sinister Six and a few Easter eggs in the trailer hint at this possibility. At this rate, the well of credible Spider-Man villains could soon run dry. Sony may be forced to call up some lesser-known antagonists to fill out the roster for The Amazing Spider-Man 3. If this proves to be the case, Sony's might have to adapt one of the most hilariously dated characters of all time, Spidey-foe the Hypno-Hustler. Marvel created Hypno-Hustler to capitalize on the disco-craze that swept the world in the late 70s. Hypno-Hustler used disco warbles to hypnotize music-lovers so he could rob them blind. Spider-Man handily defeated his jive-talking foe by using his own music against him. Hypno-Hustler is as hopelessly intertwined with disco music as the Bee Gees are; so, for this character to work Sony would need to resurrect disco music for modern audiences. Hypno-Hustler could open a Pandora's box of disco-related fury. By the end of the 70s disco inspired a famous riot at Comiskey Park in Chicago when over 50,000 disco-haters united to blow up a crate full of disco albums. So should Sony bring disco back, it might have to face a hellacious onslaught of righteous disco-fueled ire.
