10 Comic Books That Should Never Become Movies

7. Fat Fury

Fat FuryPremise: Herbie Popnecker is an out of shape young man who, ridiculously enough, has an awesome set of powers that he gained from a set of magical lollipops (yes, really). He can talk to animals, travel through time, fly and turn invisible, while both nubile women and politicians can't get enough of him. One day he decided he wanted to wear a superhero suit, and so the Fat Fury was born. Why It Wouldn't Work As A Movie: While the satirical seeds have already been sewn, again, it's poorly timed with the glut of serious superhero movies in our cinemas these days. The Kick-Ass treatment could work, but that market's evidently been cornered for now, so don't expect to see it anytime soon. Chance Of It Happening: 2/10
