Twice a week, join the Weisers (creators of "Myths and Legends" and "Fictional") as they take a look at all the wonderful, ridiculous characters from comic book history. Why should Joker, Thanos, Catwoman, and Magneto get all the love? Why not Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man, Uglyman, Kiteman, Asbestos Lady, and Condiment King? And yes, those are real characters. Originally a segment on chart-topping podcast Fictional, Best of the Worst is making household names out of the world's worst heroes and villains...just not for the reasons they'd want.

Marvel: Madam McEvil's Terrible Trio (enemies of Daredevil) SEASON TWO FINALE!

Apr 27 2023 11 mins  
~~This is the last episode of season 2! Thanks for listening!~~ Why not name your budding team of criminals after a fast food franchise?

Archie Comics: Cat Girl and Kree-Nal, Sea Circe from Space (enemies of Jaguar)

Apr 20 2023 9 mins  
"Kree-Nal, Sea Circe from Space" might be somehow the most self-evident and yet most confusing name we've ever talked about on this podcast. Cat Girl is neither a cat nor a girl. They're both enemies of the Jaguar, a man with powers completely unrelated to a Jaguar who's not an actual jaguar but also sometimes is. It's a weird one. Ralph Hardy being, apparenly, irresistible and Chr

America's Best Comics: The Puzzler (enemy of the Black Terror)

Apr 13 2023 8 mins  
The Puzzler's greatest nemesis wasn't the superpowered pharmacist who dresses like Superman if Superman was really into wearing a ton of leather. It was the Puzzler's weak ankles. Check out the Puzzler and the Terror Twins: https://villains.lol/the-puzzler/

DC Comics: The Big Gang (enemies of The Atom)

Apr 11 2023 8 mins  
The big gang is a gang that's big that also only steals big things and fights the world's smallest hero. See what they did there? That's it. That's the joke. Want to see a bunch of grownups in spandex stealing giant items that are basically worthless? https://villains.lol/the-big-gang/

Marvel: Asbestos Lady (enemy of the Human Torch)

Apr 06 2023 9 mins  
Asbestos Lady is a good example of why, when it comes to supercrime, you need to do more than drape yourself in asbestos fabric (and also absolutely not drape yourself in asbestos). https://villains.lol/asbestos-lady/ for more of that asbestos content you crave.

Clue Comics: The Crane (enemy of Boy King and the Giant)

Apr 04 2023 8 mins

Marvel: Baron Blood (enemy of Namor and Captain America)

Mar 28 2023 10 mins  
Baron Blood is a villain that checks all the boxes...if your problematic and troubling list includes an out of touch rich guy who dresses up like a bat and is also a vampire Nazi. Bleh! Check out the weirdness that is pictures of Baron Blood: https://villains.lol/baron-blood/
