Marvel is one of the franchises that slowly developed into a huge merchandise of films, TV shows, and more. It also led to the birth of MCU which has been earning billions at the box office ever since ‘Iron Man’ was released on the big screen in 2008.
The reason MCU has been so successful is because of the characters from Marvel Comics. A lot of characters are yet to make their debut in one of the MCU projects. But there have been some characters in the comics that have been useless and their debut will probably not add any new flavor to the franchise. Let’s check a list of the same.

The Dumbest Marvel Characters
1. Bailey Hoskins
Bailey Hoskins is the first on this list. The mutant’s power is that he can blow himself for once and this is the reason he never uses his power at all.
2. Puck
Puck is an expert when it comes to combat but he does not have any specific powers. While he decides to work as a mercenary, a demon named Black Raazer ends up possessing his body and sucks his life out of him.
3. ForgetMeNot
Also known as Nabi, he has been a member of ‘X-Men‘. But because of his imperceptibility power, his existence is remembered only if he is having a conversation with someone.
4. Almighty Dollar
His other name is J. Pennington Pennypacker but is one of the most irrelevant characters in ‘Marvel Comics.’ He participates in a camp trying to raise his self-esteem but instead becomes a victim of a scientist who has been abducting campers for experiments. While he gets the power of shooting pennies from the wrist, he names himself the Almighty Dollar.
5. 3-D Man
This one is a combination of two brothers, Chuck and Hal Chandler. The former was a test pilot during the Skrull invasion and the latter saw his brother disintegrate when a Skrull spaceship exploded, leading to radiation. But Chuck’s image gets imprinted on Hal’s glasses and this is what leads to the birth of 3-D Man. Despite possessing the strength of two people, they are weak.
