14 Forgotten Superhero Movies That Deserve A Second Look

Every day, superhero universes grow in size and complexity, but not every superhero is a part of one or gets the recognition they deserve. Superheroes have been on our screens for more than half a century. There are still plenty of crime fighters flying around who have fallen by the wayside, whether due to a lack of critical acclaim or because their creators moved on to pursue better (or worse) things. However, not every hero picture had the built-in fandom like Batman or even the Incredible Hulk to draw crowds to the theater. Neither has every hero left a lasting impression on viewers for various reasons. This list contains some superhero movies that never took off, either because they were too strange for popular audiences or just flew under the radar. For example, Marvel films are extremely popular at the moment, but some of the genre's titles have faded into obscurity over time.

These 14 superheroes are worth revisiting, though we don't expect to see them in post-credits sequences...
