10 Least Threatening Comic Book Supervillains

3. The Slug

Ulysses X Lugman AKA The Slug is a crime boss with a tendency to feed his victims to slugs (which must take ages). He may not be well-known but Slug is easy to recognise since he is the fattest supervillain in all of Marvel. At his peak, he weighed over 1000lbs.

Now, if the flabby felon is that big, you might wonder how he fights the likes of Captain America or Spider-Man. Well, he doesn't really. According to The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, the Slug is "practically helpless against any opponent", relying on henchman to carry out his bidding due to his immense size.

In recent comics, the bloated baddie has slimmed down to around 400lbs. But save for his vast intelligence, the Slug isn't that intimidating. He can't fight. He's not skilled with firearms. Also, he is hypersensitive to light, meaning you can defeat him by taking off his sunglasses.
