Bad Dads

Happy Father's Day! Here's a little list of the most dreadful dads in geek culture- so call up Pops and wish him a Happy Father's Day, at least you're not stuck with one of the abominable ancestors on this countdown!

5. Bowser


Bowser sure has a lot of kids and while at first glance it might not seem so bad (he's put them all up in castles at least!) really he's just using them for his own purposes- to foil that blasted Mario. (Oh, and uh, Luigi too I guess.) Every one of his kids is as rotten and crazy as he is, and they are nothing but cannon fodder to prevent Mario from reaching the Princess. 


4. Norman Osborn


Better known as the Green Goblin, Norman Osborn becomes a super villian to go after his son's best friend. Ouch, dad. Besides being neglectful and mean, he screws up Harry to the point that after his death, Harry takes on the Green Goblin persona, turning against his long time friend in a never ending quest to gain the approval Daddy never gave him.

  

3. Firelord Ozai


Another power hungry villian, Ozai kills his own father (not like he was father of the year either) and lets Wifey take the fall. Then he picks a fight with his son, Zuko, who begs for forgiveness and is rewarded with some fire to the face, leaving him scarred forever, physically and emotionally.




2. Darth Vader


Because his kids didn't know they were his kids, they made out with each other. If that's not bad enough, he blows up his daughter's home planet and cuts off his son's hand. Luke rather risk what looks like certain death than join Darth on the Dark Side in the most famous father-son scene of all time!


1. Magneto


Magneto is at the top of my list because no matter the universe or reboot, he's always a horrible father, basically making slaves out of his children, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. His degrading attitude and thirst for power lead his children's mental breakdowns over and over again.


Indeed, his crappy daddy skills are basically to blame for the current situation going on in AvX, since Scarlet Witch depowered 90% of mutants because of the twisted lessons Magneto taught about mutant superiority.  He may play the good guy now, but Magneto is Fangirl World's #1 Bad Dad!
