What Live Action Comic Book Character Has Been Through The Most Shit

[TheGreatDirector]

There's been dozens of TV and films with comic book characters over the years lots of these people have gone through the ringer. Who's had it the worst though?

Note, this thread isn't limited to marvel and DC characters.

 

[guek]

Off the top of my head, Thor.

 

[Officer Big Mac]

I'm not sure but I am pretty sure it's going to be a woman.

 

[broncobuster]

By nature of being six+ seasons, Green Arrow on Arrow routinely gets physically and mentally beat down.

For movies, probably Thor. Nicest thing you can say is that his love interest lived, but dumped him.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Batman. Because he was in too many stinkers

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Batman,
parents get killed every other time.
also has to endure shit like B&R, BvS, JL.

 

[RedVejigante]

By this point Thor has experienced not only the death of basically everyone close to him, but the destruction of his entire culture and civilization as well, so yeah, probably him.

 

[mrmickfran]

Off the top of my head, Thor.

Ragnarok especially fucked Thor up. He lost

• His dad
• His hammer
• His eye
• His sister
• His home
• His best friends
• And worst of all: Jane dumped him.

 

[zma1013]

Deadpool? Dude been burnt, shot, stabbed, dismembered, and had a role in Xmen Origins Wolverine.

 

[Ponn]

Live action? Daredevil. Should be Spider-Man but movies have been generally nice to him.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

I'd go with Logan, with or without the different timelines in consideration. The man had to die for one good thing to come out of a life of death and misery.

 

[Deleted member 19003]

Xavier. Disentegrated, paralyzed, killed.

 

[PSqueak]

Batman,
parents get killed every other time.
also has to endure shit like B&R, BvS, JL.

I mean, this no longer is the high bar.

Just take the example of Barry Allen in the Flash Show:

-When he was a kid, his mother was murdered
-His father was jailed for life because he couldn't explain a fucking time traveler speedster killed his wife
-Barry had the power to travel in time and save her, but has been forced to not do it and has to witness first hand it happen as to stop himself from saving her
-Lost his father little after he managed to clear his name
-Has to constantly deal with his bad choices fucking over people dear to him (Like his time shenanigans causing Cisco's brother to die)
-Spent an unfathomable amount of time in a personal hell inside the speed force

"My parents are dead" no longer is that much really.

 

[lazygecko]

I imagine the teenage mutant ninja turtles have been through a lot of shit given that they live in a god damn sewer.

 

[MisterHero]

Teri Hatcher Lois Lane

 

[Lotus]

Damn, Thor does seem to be the answer here.

 

[Laserdisk]

Logan

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Barry himself is the biggest shit to deal with.

 

[Lotus]

His sister

That ain't a big loss

 

[mrmickfran]

That ain't a big loss

Click to shrink...

I wouldn't want to find out i have a sibling only to have to immediately kill them.

I swear Thor himself said something like that in Infinity War.

Speaking of Infinity War Thor lost:

• Another best friend
• His brother
• Half his people
• Half of his teammates

And also has to deal with the guilt of not going for the head.

 

[Kinsaras]

Eric Draven aka The Crow.

 

[Platy]

And don't forget Thor had to endure a cameo in the Lou Ferrigno Hulk movies

 

[Demolition_Human]

Thor.

 

[Aftermath]

Frank Castle's wife and kids were murdered

 

[Doskoi Panda]

I was gonna say Rick Grimes. Sometimes I forget that Comic Rick had it a lot worse. At least TV Rick still has his right forearm and hand and walks without a cane

 

[PSqueak]

I also want to add: Netflix Luke Cage just can't stop losing mentor figures in his life.

 

[Khanimus]

Frank Castle's wife and kids were murdered

Everyone has family killed in superheroes...

But Jon Bernthal will sell it to you that he's suffered the worst than anyone.

 

[SageShinigami]

It's gotta be Thor, right? Across Thor 2, 3, and Avengers 3 they took EVERYTHING from him and the only thing they gave him was an axe lol.

 

[Caja 117]

I mean, there is one that is force to kill the woman he love the most, get to see his mom/dad get murdered, kills who raised him as his father, get to go trough all of his close friends die and he himself dies.

I think Logan is the choice.

It did the most damage to Thanos by far...but by that point it was way too late and didn't matter.

 

[Joker13]

Xavier. Disentegrated, paralyzed, killed.

Click to shrink...

he died thinking it was Logan who killed him

this fucks me up every time i think about it

 

[Kuro]

Smallville's Clark Kent. He had to endure 7ish seasons of toxic manipulative bullshit from Lana Lang lol.

 

[mreddie]

Thor

 

[The Unsent]

Dr Strange because Dormammuu kills/inpales him countless times.

 

[GitarooMan]

Psychologically, Jessica Jones.

 

[Spidey]

This is the face of a man whose daughters have died three times. He has two daughters. He's also dead himself now.

 

[R0b1n]

Dr Strange because Dormammuu kills/impales him countless times.

Click to shrink...

Maybe he liked it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I mean, he did decide to do almost the same thing a second time pretty willingly

 

[Lotus]

Psychologically, Jessica Jones.

Click to shrink...

Yea, it says a lot that I'm thinking about all of Thor's shit, but at the same time I'm like "Jessica Jones tho"

 

[Wolven Hammer]

Thor.

Lost it all and was dumped by a puny mortal.

 

[Wolven Hammer]

he died thinking it was Logan who killed him

this fucks me up every time i think about it

He dies in the real Logan's arms. He was still conscious for a while.

If I remember right.

 

[Z-Beat]

Thor. Both parents are dead, Natalie Portman broke up with him, hammer got destroyed, eye got stabbed out, his people were slaughtered, his brother and best friend were murdered in front of him, and he ultimately failed in his revenge after half the population got wiped

 

[spidye]

he died thinking it was Logan who killed him

this fucks me up every time i think about it

Click to shrink...

the reason why I'll never watch Logan again. Greatest Superhero movie ever but Xavier and Logan's death was way too much for me to handle

 

[itwasTuesday]

Darkman, he only gets like 60 minutes of Liam time before his face melts off again.

 

[Grimminski]

This is the face of a man whose daughters have died three times. He has two daughters. He's also dead himself now.

Wait what the fuck!? Chest hair is gone!?

 

[a916]

I don't follow Marvel Comics as a whole outside of Spider-Man, but wasn't Ms Marvel raped? Or did they retcon that or wipe it out of existence?

 

[Platy]

Thor has suffered enough

 

[Yams]

MCU Thor has lost everything and everyone. It's him without a doubt

 

[geomon]

 

[Bor Gullet]

Thor must have had the shittiest week ever of any character.
