10 Horrific X-Men Characters Who Should Never Appear In The Movies

2. Wildside

Mutant Liberation Front mainstay (and erstwhile leader), Wildside is everything that's wrong with 1990s X-comics. Ten shiny internet points if you can guess which crapulent nineties artist helped to create him, and then lovingly pencilled him into tortured, snarling tennis poses, or pictured him leaping foolishly into something just out of the frame. If you thought that Reaper looked like a d*ckweasel, well he€™s got nothing on Wildside. He looks like he€™s drunkenly pieced himself together with the crap parts of more famous people€™s costumes. Quicksilver€™s skintight blue-and-silver leotard? Check. Hercules€™ golden vambraces, greaves and shoulder guards? Absolutely. Superman€™s giant red cape? Sure, okay. Wolverine€™s hair? Yes, but can it be bright white and tall like a head-mounted meringue? Giant red circles of make-up covering each eye like an angry panda? SIGN ME UP. There€™s no one in superhero comics that looks this stupid, and this is superhero comics we€™re talking about, where €˜looking stupid€™ is a prerequisite for publication. Naturally, since he€™s a Liefeld confection, he spends most of his time in mid-leap, snarling at something we can€™t quite see. That€™s a rather sad metaphor for Wildside€™s existence, actually€ this is a man whose primary mutant power is the ability to cause his enemies to hallucinate. However, since he vastly prefers being a feral headcase, he hardly ever actually uses this handy, useful ability. He just snarls a lot and leaps about waving his claws like a disco Sabretooth.
