Random thoughts on this... not a character but... I hate when they try to push that Wolverine/Jean/Scott was a love triangle or that Wolverine and Jean had this great love... it was almost always written that Wolverine was creeping on Scott's Girlfriend/Wife... and not at all reciprocated. They've eased back on it a bit and even had references that it was this way but a lot of writers tried pushing that it was some great romance between the two... I've said this in the past, but I feel like it's a symptom of 90's kids/teens growing up and becoming writers. They attached themselves to Wolverine since he was the prodigal 90's anti-hero, so they try to insert Wolverine into Cyclops's position on the team. Cyclops is field leader? Wolverine would be a better leader! (Just forget all those times Logan left the team to do his own thing.) Cyclops is with Jean? Wolverine would be a much better boyfriend! (Ignore the fact that he has a small army of bastard children and all his exes wind up dead or wanting to kill him.) Cyclops is put in charge of the Xavier Academy? Well, Wolverine built his own school, and named it after Jean! (Soooooo much pandering.) Cyclops isn't a badass anti-hero, which means he's a weenie, and Wolverine deserves everything he has and more.

And this pandering in turn has had the effect of turning an entire generation of readers against Wolverine.

I've never like Black Cat.
Whenever she appears in Spidey comics she manages to bug me.

Dr. Doom.
Seems like the type of character an edgy annoying teenager would come up.
"He's the strongest, and he is best at magic, and he has his own country, and it's better than the other countries, and he only loses when he wants, but he never really loses, cause it's always a Doombot!"
Will also say OP homicidal clown Joker. He was fine when he was like any of the other Batman villains. But when he's gassing school busses full of orphans for the lolz, and the governments of the world haven't united to shoot him full of holes, and the writers are doing backflips to keep him alive while pushing a sympathetic/worshipping narrative. It gets annoying.
And Scarlet Witch for being a walking Deus Ex Machina who never got decent comeuppance for her "No More Mutants" bullshit.
