10 Greatest Mentally Ill Superheroes

You do n’t have to be unhinged to put on a burnished costume and battle evil – but it does n’t hurt . Here ’s our list of the ten most awesomely insane superheroes . Ever .

10 . Creeper . By day , he ’s Jack Ryder , a loudmouthed television learned person , sort of like Bill O’Reilly with good tomentum . And then by night , he dresses like the Joker , only in eldritch leafy underwear and yellow-bellied body war paint . The Creeper ’s great power come from freaky implants slip in into his body , whichinject him with drugsand give him various superpower . Unfortunately , those drugs also make him altogether psychotic – not unlike the Joker – and he begin to think “ Jack Ryder ” and the Creeper are two different the great unwashed . fundamentally , it ’s a miracle that someone did n’t err the Creeper for the Joker and shoot him years ago .

9 . The Chief from Doom Patrol . Best know for Grant Morrison and Rachel Pollack ’s weird excursions , the Doom Patrol were originally a superhero team made up of monstrosity and monsters who were too utmost to join the Justice League , the Titans , or even the Outsiders . But then it was let out that the Chief , the squad ’s leader / scientist , in reality engineered the accident that turned them all into monster , on the hypothesis that it would make them good people who could save the world . Nice idea , Chief .

8 . Professor X , from the X - human being . The suave , bald-headed loss leader of the mutant supergroup suffered from multiple personality – which are going to be a bit of a root in this superhero roundup . At one point , his personalities included the psychopathic Onslaught – as far as I understand it , Xavier attacked Magneto telepathically and as a result , he absorb all of Magneto ’s glum whim , which fuse with his own suppressed emotions , to create a supervillain personality known as Onslaught . Another messed - up Xavier personality was lie with as the Entity .

7 . Hank Pym . The creator of the malevolent Ultron was also several cracker short of a snackbox himself . A brilliant artificer , he could n’t decide what identity to take on : Ant - Man , Giant - Man or Goliath . The melodic phrase of trying to be as cool as Iron Man and Captain America labor him over the sharpness , and he take up to become abusive towards his married woman Janet and the supervillain Elfqueen . And then he decide to create another personality , Yellowjacket , who was the spoiled - piece of tail that Hank could never be . in conclusion , when the Avengers confronted him about his loonitude , he create a giant golem to demolish them . Oh well . Poor Hank .

6 . Spellbinder . Erica Fortunegets the dimension - hopping power of the Spellbindersand uses it to press the vicious Zxaxz , who comes from another reality . unluckily , the more Erica uses her ability , the more they repel her might - harebrained and change state her into a lunatic . And then she gets trammel in Zxaxz ’s dimension , where she has to learn to pronounce “ Zxaxz . ” When she at last get back to Earth , she ’s so daft she aggress her own kinfolk , think they ’re rival spellbinder , and kills the valet de chambre she loves . Oops .

5 . Rorschach test . Okay , where do we begin ? Well , there ’s the obligatory multiple personality – he trust his mask is his true face , and he does n’t quite conceive in his “ other ” personality , Kovacs . He ’s sociopathically violent , and get around in a pestiferous getup muttering behind his inkblot mask . Creator Alan Moore has said Rorschach was his endeavor at show how Batman would in reality be in the real world – a “ nutcase . ”

4 . The Incredible Hulk . Is the Hulk a superhero ? Well , he ’s been in the Avengers and the Defenders , and he ’s fought supervillians , such as the U - Foes . Just wait until the U - Foes are robbing your house , and then we ’ll see how you palpate about the Hulk ’s superheroism . In any case , he ’s undeniably nut . Mentally marred by his opprobrious dad , he repress all of his anger , until a Gamma detonation issue that negative personality – as the Hulk . Later , Bruce Banner went into couples therapy with his other personality – no lie ! – and psychiatrist Doc Samson make out to merge them into a single green dude . For a while , anyway . Then the repressed rage started coming back . I ’m not even get into the gray Hulk or the decrepit human Hulk , or the Maestro , or the Green Scar . aboveboard , if you still need validation that the Hulk is batty , just consider the fact that when he was hiding from the Avengers , he disguised himself as a automaton merry andrew . casing close .

3 . Rose And Thorn . Here ’s a hero whose only superpower is schizophrenia . When she ’s Rose , she ’s nice and well - adjusted , but then at night she turns into Thorn , who break around squeeze spoiled hombre into putty for fun . In her most recent miniseries , written by Gail Simone , she in reality got “ cured ” of her split personality , just in time to be set on by a serial killer .

2 . Moon Knight . Marvel ’s reply to Batman ( sort of ) suffer from a really harebrained split personality . He does n’t just have his superhero identity and his civilian identity – he has a number of civilian indistinguishability , all of which he believe are real , separate masses . There ’s his “ real ” personality , Mark Spector , plus his sassy alter ego Jake Lockley . I picked up a ton of the Doug Moench / Bill Sienkiewicz topic of his comedian for 10 cents each , and they were so psychotic and angsty they were grueling to learn . Moon Knight expend pages and pages bear around and saying “ If only I could become Jake Lockley , I could solve this . But no ! I ’m not suitable any more ! ”

1 . Batman . Okay , maybe Bruce Wayne has n’t always been depicted as a loon , but he sure as shooting often has . Especially in the last couple of decennary , when Bats was ground zero for the move to “ deconstruct ” superheroes . Alan Moore had Batman share a demented laugh with the Joker at the end of The Killing Joke . Alan Grant and other writers played on the idea that Batman was as disturbed as the baddies he hunted – and Grant even had that Skinnerian psychotherapist , Arkham , engage Bats up in Arkham Asylum with the rest of the nutcase . More late , Grant Morrison had Batman creating a phantasy “ backup personality ” for himself in character he ever got do drugs and drive over the edge . A wild plan for a crazy situation , or just the ultimate proof that Bats dances over the edge ? Perhaps most tellingly , back in the belated eighties , Steve Engelhart had Batman utter the Hellenic line of reasoning , “ My world move crazy sometimes , but I do n’t . ” Which is like articulate , “ I ’m a crank , but I ’m in defence about it . ” It ’s okay , Bats .
