Darkthorn

Darkthorn (originally named Darkthornn) is a villain from Image Comics' Youngblood. He is the evil ruler of planet D'khay and is the "primary" enemy of the superhero team of the same name.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He is a rip-off of Darkseid from DC Comics and created by Jack Kirby with a brute-like design.
 * 2) His design is cheesy, yet unconvincing and even more of a Darkseid wannabe.
 * 3) Misleading Name: His name implies he has “dark” spiked thorns either his armor or helmet, while also possibly has powers over “dark” thorns. Nope, he has golden armor and a purple suit and his powers is just laser beams and hands like summoning a portal.
 * 4) His skin color is a rip off of Sinestro and his race with the red colors.
 * 5) His plans are unclear where he wants some "prophecy" to not come to pass as he wants Prophet for reasons that were never explained.
 * 6) We never much about him, and is stated to be a planet conquerer than thought as a time traveler.
 * 7) Just like Youngblood's villains, he is quite forgettable.
 * 8) He does a poor job trying to be the "big bad" of the Youngblood comics, and is very uninteresting at all.
 * 9) He fails to be intimidating compared to other villains.
 * 10) He has no personality or character development, whatsoever.
 * 11) Unlike Darkseid, Darkthorn is some kind of random generic "doomsday" villain that is not threatening at all.
 * 12) He is said to have an army (that are also rip-offs or homages to Jack Kirby's Fourth World mythos from DC Comics) of "winged demons" (rip-offs of Parademons who served Darkseid, and never shown), and the disciples of doom, who ripped off the "resistance is futile" line of the Borg from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
 * 13) His motives barely make much sense, where his disciples are a product of futuristic science.
 * 14) He used a teleportation device called a crash tunnel according to Prophet, which is not explained, clearly.
 * 15) He could just leave one of the Youngblood teams, without any more fighting.
 * 16) His powers are very unoriginal such as optic blasts, and hand ray beams.
 * 17) We don't how he encountered another team, called the Berzerkers.
 * 18) He easily defeated Prophet with no explanation of how he beat him.
 * 19) His showdown with Psi-Fire was anti-climatic, by having Darkthorn escape just from being stared by Psi-Fire.
