For the second time in less than a decade, Hostess Brands has filed for bankruptcy, and our seemingly endless supply of "Fruit" Pies, Sno Balls, Twinkies and those deadly-delicious chocolate cupcakes with the little white swirls on top are threatened to vanish from convenience stores and gas stations once and for all. Granted, you could easily point to the fact that we as a nation have collectively started eating healthier, or that costs associated with producing the treats have most likely skyrocketed given the current economy, but quite frankly, we here at UGO are placing the blame solely on these 11 super-lame villains from those old school Hostess comic book ads (Oh what, you don't think Captain America and Green Lantern's time would've been better served fighting Big Business' take down of Hostess rather than the The Ding-A-Ling Family?!).

Spindly Klutz |
Most of the ads we've seen so far have been funny, but this one's just flat-out bizarre. Meet Spindly Klutz, a sports announcer (we're guessing), who's held a life-long grudge because kids at school only let him play football half the time (because he was so bad at it, apparently), thus driving him half mad (is that even a thing?). So in retaliation, he makes half of everyone in a nondescript football stadium disappear, including Green Lantern, who just happened to be watching the game. Actually, you know what, scratch that -- making someone half disappear isn't bizarre, but it is the absolute lamest superpower ever created.
