12 Dumbest Comic Book Movie Characters
6. Lenny Luthor - Superman IV: The Quest For Peace
How do you make an effective screen villain like Gene Hackmans Lex Luthor rubbish? Well, one option is to give him an incredibly unintelligent nephew for a sidekick. Thats what happened in Superman IV: The Quest For Peace. At one stage Lex even says lets keep your IQ a family secret. If only they had.
Instead, we get sporadic comedy moments throughout the film where Lenny Luthor played as utterly brainless by Jon Cryer chips in with awful dialogue like you can make a toupee that flies! just to lower the tone.
Stupidest moment: Yeah, youre just an experiment, freako! he tells the newly-created Nuclear Man, landing himself in big trouble with the awful super villain, who promptly picks him up and threatens him.
