9 Bizarre Superhero Origins You Won't Believe Exist

2. Anarchist

Anarchist X-Force
Marvel Comics

Anarchist - of Marvel series X-Statix fame - is one of few superheroes whose powers and rise to heroism is less bizarre than how he discovered them.

Tike Alicar was born capable of sweating an acid that could also generate energy, a trait he discovered after developing a need to continuously wash his hands due to OCD. This disorder is founded upon his feelings of alienation towards his adopted family due to the racial difference between them, which means Anarchist has one of the most tragic backstories to not feature parents being murdered in a secluded alleyway.

The development from Tike Alicar to Anarchist is equally bizarre, as the entire of the superhero team Alicar joined - the X-Force - is a team that's commercially based, which is incredibly weird to read for those of used to the wholesome heroes doing what they feel is right.
