10 Comic Heroes Who Humiliated Their Rival

7. Jesse Custer - Preacher

In spite of needing the Preacher for his nefarious plans, Grail agent Herr Starr didn't do a lot to ingratiate himself to Jesse Custer when they first met.

First he kidnapped Jesse's beloved Tulip, then held captive his best pal, Cassidy, hiring a hitman to blow bits off him with a high-powered rifle. Understandably, Jesse was pissed.

The hot-headed chosen one grabbed Starr and carved a straight line into his bald head - from thereon making it resemble a penis for the rest of his days. Worse indignities (including the loss of limbs and his penis) would be inflicted upon Herr Starr before his death at the end of the book, but this was by far the most personal, and striking insult.
