superheroes embody everything we define
is strength however that doesn’t mean
they don’t have some weaknesses of their
own welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top ten superhero weaknesses
let’s point those claws of yours in a
safer direction this list will be
ranking all of the most notable
frailties that bring our favourite
super-powered beings to their knees in
all the years to come in your most
private moments I want you to remember
the one man who beat you number 10
Wonder Woman
her own lasso of truth this is not your
truth very often in the comic book world
a superheroes most trusted weapon turns
out to be their greatest weakness
pallazo of truth forged from aphrodite’s
girdle forces its victims to succumb to
the command of its wielder how do we
shut off these charges you can’t we’ll
all be dead shortly
the truth hurts doesn’t it the in spite
of wonder woman’s prowess with the
weapon she has more than once become
entangled in her own lasso rendering her
submissive to its own power
add in the fact that the lasso is pretty
much indestructible and the Amazonian
warrior might just have a problem number
nine Shazaam saying his own name speak
the word
shut them have you ever heard of that
expression it isn’t what you say but how
you say it
yeah well Shazam might just benefit from
taking that word as virtue
by speaking the mystical word of shoes I
am young Billy Batson takes the form of
the Herculean superhero
as convenient as this may appear it is
by the same token that Billy Batson is
converted back to his regular form which
can make things quite awkward when it
comes time for introductions especially
since he’s not allowed to really call
himself Captain Marvel anymore I’m
Captain Marvel sir and it is an honor
you’re my biggest fan excuse me
III mean I’m your biggest fan number 8
Cyclops lack of control over his optic
beam you better close your eyes that
visor isn’t just a fashion statement you
know and his mutation gives him the
ability to shoot immensely powerful
energy beams from his eyes however he
was also born without the means to
control his power Scott when I tell you
open your eyes no trust me you drop
something
No
while commonly seen wearing sunglasses
in public cyclops outfits himself with a
special visor that lets him control
different aspects of his optic blast
like intensity in size don’t move
without this the x-man must shield his
eyes as the exposition of his
unrestrained power would almost
certainly turn catastrophic
number seven venom high-pitched
frequency the alien symbiote suit has
been witnessed attaching itself to
several different hosts and taking on a
multitude of different forms however its
sensitivity to high-pitched sounds
remains consistent war machine he reacts
to loud noise just a concentrated sonic
disrupter blast as venom wearing the
suit a host is subject to unmatched
strength speed and durability
although faced with a high-pitched sonic
frequency the suit will become severely
weakened as the symbiote rise in agony
if the sound is potent enough the
symbiote will either leave its host
completely or perish
taking its host with it
number six Aquaman lack of water while
unfairly thought of as a bit of a joke
by many comic book fans this superhero
has established himself as one of the
most capable members of the Justice
League for a variety of reasons the
rightful king of Atlantis is widely
formidable on land as well as water but
they don’t call the guy an Aquaman for
nothing
as he’s adapted to living at the very
depths of the ocean Aquaman’s powers are
greatly increased when he submerged in a
body of water consequently making him
grow weaker when he’s away from precious
h2o for too long number-5 reen lantern
yellow the almighty power rings assigned
to the Green Lantern Corps grant them
immense power although they do come with
quite an absurd weakness the aversion to
the color yellow has been a staple in
the Green Lantern continuity however the
origin has been largely reinterpreted
over the years I’m here for the yellow
element you are not one what readers now
understand this weakness to be is a
representation of fear the counter to
the hero’s willpower we mean highlight
the inconvenience that this can bring to
the superhero that can materialize
virtually anything with his mind but
it’s still one of the strangest things
we’ve seen a superhero yield to
number four iron man his heart you know
I’ve got a cluster of shrapnel trying
every second to crawl its way into my
heart this stops it this little circle
of light it’s part of me this internal
injury brought light to the fact that
inside the fortified suit of armor Tony
Stark is still just a regular man
due to a traumatic chest injury that
lodged shrapnel near his heart tony has
augmented himself with an arc reactor to
keep the vital organ functioning
while the mechanical device did keep him
alive it was shown to require a lot of
care and frequent recharging not so her
husband with time and further upgrades
the battery unit would soon prove to be
fully operational and able to power all
of his iconic Iron Man suits but would
still remain his core weakness
number three martian manhunter fire who
would have ever thought that Martians
would be vulnerable to fire then again
who’d have ever thought they did
encounter a Martian I’ve read the minds
of his entire group none of them knows
the origin of the device the true story
behind this lesson obvious weakness has
been both shrouded in mystery and
littered with inconsistency while some
comic book iterations see the superhero
melt into a pool of green plasma when in
contact with fire others to find the
weakness as a hindrance to his telepathy
powers whatever the case it has become
evident throughout the years that the
Martian Manhunter has never been a fan
of flames
number two spider-man friends and family
so I was it promise me something okay
leave go ahead they don’t call him your
friendly neighborhood spider-man for
nothing as obvious as this one may not
appear to be many forget that spider-man
is one of the few superheroes that lives
a completely normal and Monday life
outside of his vigilantism this puts the
ones he cares for the most at risk
making his secret identity that much
more precious I promised him that I
would keep away from you because of this
villains are always trying to figure out
who is the face under the mask and use
those he loves as pawns against him you
take it away Oh Harry I’m gonna take
away yours before we unveil our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions
number one Superman kryptonite what is
that I think you know exactly what he
says taking the top spot is the elusive
green rock that turns the Man of Steel
into silly putty I don’t it
that’s kryptonite Superman little
souvenir say old hometown something that
should be hard to find seems readily
accessible to Superman’s adversaries and
Batman himself even created an
artificial but highly effective version
of the stuff for himself no while it has
now become a cheap device to balance an
already massively overpowered superhero
it has also set the trend for all major
comic-book weaknesses to follow
do you will be with our list
Aquaman wait why do you follow what
superhero weakness did we miss for more
