10 Ridiculous Superhero Vehicles You Won't Believe Exist

They may be good at getting a hero around town, but these vehicles are absolutely ridiculous!

Comic books have been a source of entertainment for nearly a century, and in all the time superheroes and villains were moving about their worlds, many were doing so via some strange vehicles. Sure, there are those that make a lot of sense, but for every normal mode of transportation, there are dozens of silly ones.

Whether they are shaped like a particular hero's logo, or they are fashioned to suit a specific purpose, you can rest assured someone drew something to get the hero from A to B. It makes sense for most heroes who can't fly, but even those guys get around in more conventional ways, every once in a while.

This list highlights the vehicles that were created for a superhero or villain at some time in the past, and for the most part, they make a tiny fraction of sense. That being said, the majority of these things require a hefty suspension of disbelief.

While it may be cool to have some of these vehicles IRL, they definitely upped the ante on the silliness going on in whichever comic book they debuted. These are the most ridiculous, but if we missed one of your favourites, let us know in the comments!

10. The Silver Surfer's Surfboard

Jack "King" Kirby created some of the greatest superheroes and villains in all of comic book history, and the Silver Surfer is one of the ones at the top of the list. Kirby had an amazing talent at creating realistic people who dealt with real problems.

For the Surfer, it was sacrifice, xenophobia, racism, and more, so the character resonated with a lot of fans. He's also one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe, and though he only has a small portion of the Power Cosmic, he's able to fly into black holes and come out unharmed on the other side.

He's able to do this because of his incredible surfboard, which also gives him his name. There's a lot about the Surfer that makes sense, but when you think about it for more than a few seconds, it doesn't make any sense, whatsoever, that he needs a surfboard, of all things, to get around.

It's weird, but there's a good reason why Kirby put his silver superhero on a surfboard instead of a more traditional spacefaring vehicle that would make more sense. According to Kirby, he gave him the board "because I'm tired of drawing spaceships!"
