Which Hero has the saddest past?

@Jnr6Lil: So, if something bad happened to somebody last week it would not be in the past?

Most depressing thread ever.

to me it is the punisher, the man lost all of he's family all of them! :-/, and that is what makes him the saddest hero in comics in my view :)

After reading all of these responses, I think the Punisher takes the cake. Seeing your parents killed in front of your 20 years ago doesn't even compare to having your wife and child killed in front of you as an adult.

Jessica Jones, Spider-Man, Batman.... those were all bad pasts, but they grew up stronger because of it. It was 50/50 whether Frank Castle wasn't just going to commit suicide right then and there.

@Rumble Man: His Past Present and Future Is the most tragic thing I've seen

@ThatGuyWithHeadPhones: Up for the challenge?

People are saying Batman? Really?

Catwoman past was way more sad and terrible than his, yet no one remembers even tough they live in the same city.

I don't think you can really say which person has had the saddest past out of all of em, cause they are all pretty sad. But will say Hercules, the guy was pretty much forced to kill his entire family. Batman may have watched his parents die, but Herc had to kill and watch his own family die by his hands.

@CitizenBane said:

Dex-Starr. He was a good kitty who became an evil kitty.

he's still good kitty, an angry kitty maybe but still good.

Creeper should be on the list

abandoned by father and left with bitter mentally unstable mother who physically and psychologically abused him before apparently killing herself, constantly manipulated and has his memory erased by various villains (Proteus pre-Infinite Crisis, by demons post)

@Shark_Repellent_Bat_Spray: What?

Beast boy

This is all messed up

Bats, spidey, punisher, and Spawn have really sad stories. I couldn't pick just one

@Rumble Man: Yeah, man. No one can beat guts in this department.

@Avenger85: There are some but it is really obscure

spidey.

Batman

The Punisher
