10 Absurd Comic Book Characters Who Will Never Get A Film

Ooh, risqué. This feels like a character that would have been invited in the late 1970s, in an effort to draw swingers and other sexually adventurous potential readers to Marvel, but there is just no part of Leather Boy that is executed well.

First of all, his costume is really on the nose -- he's just a guy who happens to be a BDSM enthusiast and crafts an all-leather version of Dr. Doom's costume to seek his revenge after the Great Lakes Avengers refuse to let him in. (And when the Great Lakes chapter of the Avengers is rejecting you, that's probably rock bottom.)

But here's the salient point: he doesn't have any super powers. At all. It would be one thing if there was a character called Leather Boy who was a BDSM enthusiast who got into an accident at a local tannery that made his skin all leathery and invulnerable, but they couldn't even muster up that much of a backstory for him. He's just a dude who wears leather and occasionally proves himself a nuisance to the dollar store version of the Avengers. Hard pass.
