Yeah, they got hit by the ugly stick in the 2000s but they were hit by the"wtf, why? just why?" stick upon creation.

DC's pastiches of Marvel characters often seem way more mean-spirited than Marvel's pastiches of DC characters.
i remember dc's hulk in a diaper beating up a cartoon rabbit
Is that motherfucking Captain Carrot from Captain Carrot and the Zoo Crew in the DCU proper?
yep, he's one of the major players in grant morrison's multiversity event
That's him! And it was Young Justice that I saw him in! That's insane.

Not quite as cool as The Retaliators and the Zen-Men.
Wow, where's this from?
Edit: yeah, it's Multiversity nevermind
you claim they got hit by the ugly stick in the 00s but going by that first image it looks like they were the wielders of all the ugly sticks to begin with

It's like someone took the two Death's Head and mashed them together.that's Death's Head
He's in the Arkham Asylum spinoff movie Assault on Arkham and voiced by Giancarlo Esposito.
That one is actually from Flash Forward, the recent Wally/multiverse focused Flash mini-series.
The Squadron Supreme's design is pretty questionable most of the time too.
It just feels like when they're doing these types of reference characters they usually run into issues since they want to make them recognizable but can't actually make them look too close to the originals.

Hyperion has always had a pretty consistent and solid look. Riffing on Supes from day one by having the huge belt/belt tights instead of straight tightsThat one is actually from Flash Forward, the recent Wally/multiverse focused Flash mini-series.
Funny thing is that the guy in white with a red cape and white uniform is Hyperius, a reference to Marvel's Hyperion, who is pretty much Marvel's Superman.

Yeah, I feel the same way whenever Marvel tries to create their own superman.
A thread about a pastiche/parody team confirms your feelings that Marvel has better character design?
