If we're talking about the most far-fetched superhero in comics, it depends on what you mean by "far-fetched"—whether it's their powers, origin, or general concept. Here are a few contenders:

Most Ridiculous/Far-Fetched Superheroes

  1. Arm-Fall-Off Boy (DC Comics) – His power? He can remove his own arms and use them as weapons. That’s it. How does this even work biologically? No clue.
  2. Matter-Eater Lad (DC Comics) – A hero from the Legion of Super-Heroes who can eat literally anything, including metal and toxic waste. Useful? Sometimes. Believable? Not really.
  3. Dogwelder (DC Comics, Hitman series) – This disturbing antihero welds dead dogs to criminals’ faces. Yeah, that’s his whole thing.
  4. Squirrel Girl (Marvel Comics) – She has the power of squirrels… and has defeated villains like Thanos and Doctor Doom. The sheer absurdity of her victories makes her feel like a gag character, yet she remains canonically overpowered.
  5. The Red Bee (DC Comics) – A superhero with a trained bee named Michael that lives in his belt and helps fight crime. One bee.
  6. Brother Power the Geek (DC Comics) – A sentient mannequin brought to life by lightning. Think Pinocchio, but he’s a hippie crimefighter.
  7. Zeitgeist (Marvel Comics, X-Force) – Vomits acid. That’s the power. Nothing else. Just acid puke.
  8. Snowflame (DC Comics) – Gains superhuman strength, speed, and invulnerability by snorting cocaine. That’s his entire gimmick. He is literally powered by drugs.

Most Far-Fetched in Terms of Power

  • The Beyonder (Marvel) – A godlike being who can warp reality on a multiversal scale. He once turned an entire building into gold just because he was curious.
  • Mister Mxyzptlk (DC) – A 5th-dimensional imp with reality-warping powers, but he mostly just trolls Superman.
  • The One Above All (Marvel) – Essentially God in Marvel Comics. Omnipotent, omniscient, and basically beyond comprehension.

So, Who’s the MOST Far-Fetched?

For sheer concept ridiculousness, Arm-Fall-Off Boy or Dogwelder take the cake.
For
power levels, it’s hard to beat The One Above All or The Beyonder.
