Basically, Madcap’s a dude at an American rave in the 90s, wearing clown tights and handing pills out to everyone?
If you're gonna create a villain that finally does the unthinkable and kills Superman, couldn't you at least make him look scary?
Giving him a big thorny cock would at least make him more intimdating in that shot.

Pretty much, except he's from 1985, and I imagine meant to bring yucks to the lol Reagan years.
Madcap was one of my favorite characters when I was about 12 or so.
Me too! I was a sucker for the Gruenwald/Neary Cap run - Madcap, Armadillo, Scourge - what's not to love? I even GM'ed a session of the Marvel Super Heroes RPG with Madcap as the villain. My friends hated it.
But despite my love, he's corny as shit.

At least his second superpower sounds kinda cool if used properly in a story.
FYI, this has never, ever happened.

I couldn't find an actual corn-based superhero, but surely there must be one...
Oh yeah this dude has the power to turn into any flavored ice cream.http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/iscrm.7.gif

6. Razor-Fist

This dude's "superpower" is exactly what it says on the tin, he has two large blades where his hands should be. The first Razor-Fist was just a one-shot Shang-Chi villain who died in the 1970s, but a few years later, for some inexplicable reason, Doug Moench, his creator, deciced to bring back two new characters (identical brothers) with the same gimmick. And apparently all three Razor-Fists willingly had their hands amputated and replaced by blades! I guess they were living the sort of life where wiping your own ass or masturbating or dressing yourself isn't a priority?
Anyway, one of the two brothers survived his initial appearance and, again inexplicably, kept on appearing in Marvel comics up until the 2010s, before he was killed by Deadpool last year. That's a pretty respectable, 37-year run for a villain who sounds like he was made up by a 10-year old.

Razorfist has always struck me as more horrifying than corny. Like you clearly aren't thinking clearly when you make that decision, and you're certain to almost immediately regret it once it's been made.

Like I imagine Razorfist being a procedure (not unlike the Human Centipede) which is imposed upon an unwilling subject who rises from a dazed state of unconsciousness to find that his life has been inexorably altered and very likely shortened and he doesn't even know how he's going to open the door of this dingy black market operating theater he's woken up in let alone how he's going relieve his intense need to urinate.

And this is why your community has petitioned to have you undergo the procedure, my onanistic friend.
