14 Superheroes Who Lost Their Cool

Every so often, in a strange moment of Interweb telepathy (or, as we like to call it, “webathy”, which is incidentally the name of the Listicles office cat), two lists will come into existence at nearly the same moment detailing instances of nearly the same phenomenon.
