Here’s 40 of the Best/Worst Superhero Puns, and I’m Not Sorry At All
Superheroes are great for a lot of things, but no matter how much they brood, they can’t seem to stay too serious for too long, which is why superhero puns are so so great.
With their strange mythologies and quirky, complicated story lines, you just can’t be too serious about your fandom, no matter which of the multiverses you hail from.
Superman once fought against a dragon called Flame-Dragon! The X-Men once battled inside the computer, then went to Pizza Hut! Donna Troy of the Titans started as a younger version of Diana Prince for the spinoff comic Wonder Girl! It’s fine!
And, well, bless the internet. Because this comics tradition of embracing the wackiness has spilled over into a totally unapologetic culture of superhero puns. Like. Really terrible superhero puns. But you know you chuckle when you see them, and you’re totally part of the problem.

So let’s just give into it and enjoy, shall we?
