Are there /co/ characters who's entire fanbase only exists because they look cool?

Please don't remove this Mr. Janitor, I just needed a good example pic.

Honestly it's kinda hard to pin point this one due to him being from a filler movie and the big two may have direct to video ones but they have arcs and the side plot villains are at least known.

I wanna say Carnage due to his edgelord status but eh.

Don't really recall any well remembered one shot comic villains.

The only people I know who still talk about Spawn are those who wax nostalgic for the old 90's stuff they read when they were younger

Don't deny it.

Almost too many to count. The fanbase of most popular characters rests on an iconic look.

Wolverine

>>94024566
That statement applies to most Dragonball Movie Villains except Janemba, and Hirudegarn. Broly gets singled out because he has the most pettiest motive in the series, with Freeza coming second and Cell coming third.

>The fanbase of most popular characters rests on an iconic look
That's true but OP was talking about characters that look "cool" and their entire fanbases derive from that. Usually because they have nothing else going for them.
Iconic and cool are not the same thing

Yep.

Is Spawn really that bad ?
I know the character absolutely reeks of 90s awfulness but I was willing to give it a shot.

I honestly haven't revisited the comics since I read them when I was growing up.

I did watch the HBO cartoon for the first time relatively recently though, and I enjoyed it.

Havent read much after that. SNES(?) was pretty cool

Depends on the version desu. The pic you posted and pic related, maybe. But, as a Scarecrow fan, I mostly enjoy the idea of a milquetoast little fucker trying to be the one thing he isn't: big and scary.
>>
only one that comes to mind for me is Darth Maul maybe?

>>94026884
ah!

because i've seen more aged up Gaz than actual Gaz fan art even if i'm not looking for zim art.

It really depends on the version because Crane is a really inconsistent character even by Batman standards.
Mostly when they try to make him XTREME and we get dumb shit like Scarebeast or Arkham Knight Scarecrow.

In my opinion, Jonathan Crane should be as the last paragraph of this bio describes him: a nerdy and gangly professor who just funnels his money into books and commits crime for the sake of research and a fascination on studying fear. I enjoy Scarecrow as a howling maniac too, and I think Injustice and TNBA actually found ways to make scarier and update him without forcing it too hard, but this is what I think Scarecrow should be like.

>>94024566
Carnage. He's the most boring mainstay Spider-Man villain, and brings nothing new to the table. People only like him for his design.

I always thought Omega Red looked really stupid and I loved x-treme shit as a kid so I doubt it.

If he has any, they know him from X-Men Children of the Atom and maybe Marvel vs Capcom 2 (was he even in that one?).

All of them.

But I love valiant.

didn't a manga artist made his own version of omega red for his comic?

I like Omega Red mostly because, like Silver Samurai, he was my main in X-Men Children of the Atom and I absolutely loved that game. It brings back fond memories of playing it at the local arcade.
This was back when I didn't even know English and I read few comics so I could only speculate on what the character was, same thing with the Capcom JoJo game which I also played. I liked his moveset, I liked his tentacles, I liked his theme and I liked his stage. I only knew he was Russian and that he was Wolverine's enemy.
And I always liked Russian characters and Wolverine was my favorite X-Men so of course I thought Omega Red was cool.
I thought he was this super badass vampire robot pirate who had his own submarine and constantly traveled across the ocean. Like Captain Nemo meets Ivan Drago meets Dracula with robotic tentacles.
You can imagine how dissapointed I was when I actually read his backstory and saw how he was like in the comics.

Still, I like Omega Red. I think of him more as a Capcom fighting game character that I enjoyed playing as a kid than just a low-tier X-Men villain who was another 90s edgelord.

Spawn is more like a monthly art book than a comic. Todd slings ink like a motherfucker, but he can't write a story to save his life.
