I hated this:
Granted, I had finished playing Maximum Carange and discovered this thinking it would be more of the same.
It's really unforgiving and not exactly a great game, but it's hardly the worst. I at least got some enjoyment out of it, which is more than I can say about a lot of super hero games.

Very true about the soundtrack.
The game felt like 5 different mediocre devs made 5 different mediocre games. No consistency to connect any of the 5 characters in terms of gameplay, enemies, game physics, power up icons, character size,etc.

I'm not much of a comic fan but Arcade didn't seem like the most interesting villain to be having for the first X-Men game on SNES. I guess it was just because they thought he would fit well with video-gamey stuff.

Some people already covered worthy candidates like Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis and Batman Forever.
All the LJN Spiderman games were terrible, so add those to the pile.
If we're thinking modern games, this should be a prime candidate:

This game seriously enraged me as a kid. First you have the Spider-Man maze level, which is fairly simple to beat once you figure out how the web swinging works. Then they dump you into a level select where you can choose from:
Spider-Man - in a vastly harder and more obnoxious level full of cheap hits
Wolverine - an irritating action segment, again full of cheap hits AND the most annoying laugh sound effect you will ever hear in a video game
Cyclops - horrendous minecart-based platforming where you will die immediately if you touch the ground
Storm - slow, boring underwater air management simulator
Gambit - more platforming, except you get chased by a giant rolling spike ball the entire level so you have no time to think. Oh, and you have limited card ammo, so there's hardly any room for error when destroying obstacles in your way. Enjoy!!!
The only one I could ever finish was Wolverine's crappy level, everyone else just served to anger me further. The one saving grace is the soundtrack, Tim Follin NEVER disappoints.

As a Batman fan, I find this image repulsive. What game is it from!? I want to know so I can avoid it like the plague...

This game was a fucking turd. Did you know that there's not even any end credits after you beat the game? You get a single screen with some bullshit on it that I can't remember, then back to the title screen.
Batman Forever on the SNES/Genesis.
I loved the first TMNT NES game as a kid. But now I recognize just how HORRIBLE those controls were. I had I all my turtles until the electric seaweed. Then would be left with like one. Maybe two.
Not the absolute worst but certainly deserves an honorable mention.
Batman Forever is one of those special pieces of trash...
Also the DOS Spider-Man game was FUCKING TEEERRIBLE
I fucking loved that game as a kid

I like how Spidey's not sure exactly why they're all together or what they're supposed to be looking at.

To those who posted batman forever:
If you thought the 16 bit versions were bad (downgrades from the arcade) wait till you see the 8bit Game Boy version. I promise, it's top 10 worst games of all time material.

I wouldn't say it's a good game, but it wasn't a hack job at least. It had wall climbing (which didn't control well) and some interesting puzzles.

Definitely. At least Silver Surfer has an incredible soundtrack going for it.

Ljn, the mark of quality. I think all told it was a $150 lesson for me to learn to never ever buy a game with that rainbow on it.

This one feels a bit unfair to count as it is an edutainment game but Captain Novalin
Maybe we should just go with worst superhero. His power is literally having daibetes.

And just to show that even retro superman was crap I present Atari 2600:superman

That was awesome. Arguably one of the first open world games, you'd fly around the city capturing crooks (you'd pick them up an take them to jail) and finding pieces of a bridge to put back together.

This, without question. It's far worse than Superman 64 even.

lmao what is this
Man I knew the Fantastic Four series couldn't catch a break in films, looks like they couldn't get a good deal in videogames either. Maybe the series really is cursed lol.
Anyway I don't really own any superhero games, so I haven't really encountered any turds (lucky me).
I remember watching a AGDQ playthrough of this and one of the bosses was so ridiculously designed with such miniscule margin for error I don't think any average player could beat it. I think it was the Rhino boss fight.
