The Top 9 Superheroes I DON'T Want to Hang Out With

9. Man-Thing. Aside from the obvious ridicule I'd endure from my friends for chilling with someone named Man-Thing, I don't feel like "burning at the touch" of a weird swamp monster who can't hold a conversation.

8. Luke Cage. Power Man used to be awesome but now he's all into conspiracy theories and hiding out from "the man." Hanging out with Cage nowadays means putting on disguises to buy hot dogs and running underground to eat them in a deserted subway tunnel.

7. Green Arrow. Aside from being obnoxious and preachy, Ollie Queen would be extreme rude to any attractive women in his vicinity. Then he'd insist on playing darts for money until I'm broke. Not my idea of fun.

6. Doctor Strange. Seemingly fresh at first, cute sayings like "by the hoary hordes of Haggoth!" would get really old really fast. I would end up telling Stephen Strange that his "hoary whore mouth of Haggoth better shut the fuck up!" before I put my foot in it.

5. Hawkgirl. Along with being uneasy about her wings and the giant mace, I wouldn't be able to take her seriously in that bird mask. Then, if I asked her to take it off, Kendra would probably give me a line about how it's her proud warrior garb and my request insults her.

4. Hank Pym. Something is bound to go wrong. If he's not losing his mind and pretending to be a different bug, then he's slapping his wife around or getting abducted by aliens. It's not his fault he's a writers' punching bag, but that doesn't mean I want to hang out with him.

3. Emma Frost. Seriously, what a bitch. The White Queen has the worst attitude in the entire Marvel Universe. She would whine about everything. The pizza's not hot enough, the restaurant is too dirty, her ludicrous costume is riding up her crack, etc.

2. Havok. Alex Summers will ditch me halfway through our night to tell some woman he just met that he's deeply in love with her and can't live without her. He'll stick me with the bill and run off to the southwest United States, where I won't hear from him again for years. At least, that's what he always does to the X-Men.

1. Cyclops. What's worse than getting ditched by Alex Summers? Chilling with his brother Scott as he rants about "how hard it is to live life when I can't relax for one moment because the smallest slip could result in my ruby quartz glasses falling off, causing my eyes to release powerful blasts of cosmic energy that could harm the people I love!"

Why the Top 9? Because 10 is too many and 9 is better. 3 X 3 = Awesome. Now that’s what I call math.

    haha. LOVE this list. LURVE it. Emma Frost is like that hot chick in high school who just can't get over herself - and Cyclops would be her lame brooding tortured boyfriend.

    hahaha so true. you know, there were other people i considered for this list (Hulk, Captain America's corpse, Moon Knight) but after a bit of consideration, i decided that being dead or unstable is not necessary a bad trait for a hang out session.

    yeah, you love him. i was actually thinking Iron Man. despite how much of a douche he's been lately, he seems like a genuinely fun party guy (at least the movie version does!). i would also want to hang with Spider-Man, as his witty quips are the best (maybe we'd go see a crappy movie to make fun of it). i'd also want to hang with Storm cause we'd have great conversations. and She-Hulk cause she's a hottie and she likes to party. oh yeah and Hercules. and Superman because he'd probably go out of his way to make everything perfect. and Green Lantern because we could do just about whatever we want with his power ring. makes you wonder what he does when it gets real lonely out in space, huh? anyway, i think i'm smelling another Top 9 here...
