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 worlds worst heroes and villains...just not for the reasons they'd want.

The Top
The Top is a surprisingly competent villain for someone directly themed after a children's toy.
The Top first appeared in The Flash #122 -
Icicle
An icicle is an extremely fragile thing that falls...so of course it's something to model your whole career in super-villainy after.
