10 Lame Comic Book Villains (Who Are Actually Incredibly Powerful)
6. Ten-Eyed Man
The Ten-Eyed Man is so campy that Batman himself even describes him as the lamest villain he's ever crossed and writer Marv Wolfman made a point of killing him off first during the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
After being blinded by an explosion, Philip Reardon was saved by a mob doctor who reconnected his optic nerves to the tips of his fingers, allowing him to see through them instead. Reardon blamed Batman for the explosion and put his new abilities and military training towards becoming a small-time crook.
To the writers' credit, they did try to make Ten-Eyed Man to be a legitimate menace at first. They argued that having ten eyes that saw from different angles gave him enhanced sight, perception, and reflexes, making him a better fighter who could tussle with the Batman. But that didn't alter the fact that Batman could and has beaten him multiple times with just a pair of gloves.
But that doesn't do credit to just how versatile and useful this power could be. Reardon still has the appearance of a blind man and could easily sneak past unsuspecting officers. His fingertip vision also made him a master escape artist and lock pick, allowed him to spy on targets from around corners and from a distance away, and makes it nearly impossible to sneak up on him.
