10 Weirdest Fantastic Four Villains Of All Time

4. Paste-Pot Pete

Mole Man
Marvel Comics

After Peter Petruvski invented a glue gun, he became the terribly-named supervillain, Paste-Pot Pete, and did what every baddie did during the 1960s; he robbed a bank. In his debut, he only faced the Human Torch since the rest of the Fantastic Four were busy.

Since the Human Torch can move at breakneck speed, combust himself, and go supernova, you'd assume he would be more than enough to defeat this Z-list crook. But despite possessing such a ridiculous weapon, Pete can (somehow) hold his own. In his debut, he used his glue gun to immobilise police officers, the Human Torch, and an ENTIRE military base.

You know what's more ridiculous? Upon their first battle, the Human Torch didn't even beat him! In the midst of battle, Paste-Pot Pete glued himself to a passing plane and flew away. This means that a superhero made of fire failed to defeat a man who's only weapon was paste.

It's worth pointing out that Paste-Pot Pete is usually considered to have the worst supervillain name in all of Marvel. It's so bad, he eventually changed his moniker to The Trapster. That isn't much better but it's definitely not worse.
