10 Absurd Comic Book Characters Who Will Never Get A Film

2. Codpiece

So this one is a little weird. It's also the superhero for every man who has ever complained about being put in the friend zone or that all of their female "friends" are only interested in dating jerks and they'll never realize how great it would be to date a "nice guy" like them.

Basically Codpiece's only superpower is that he's super insecure, because he thinks that his failing love life is because he lacks endowment in certain areas that might be key for reproductive purposes. So he does what every normal guy would do in this situation and decides to engineer a power suit complete with a cannon aiming directly out of his groin. Why can't he just buy a sports car or a fedora or something like everyone else?

Side note: Codpiece does seem like the type of villain who would square up against the Ambiguously Gay Duo on Saturday Night Live. That might be the only chance this sad little creep has of appearing in popular culture again.
