Funny

Nothing beats dumb tweets (especially <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-hated-celebrity-tweets/matthewcoleweiss" target="_blank">horrible tweets from celebrities</a>). We live in an age where everyone&nbsp;feels the need to be on Twitter, either to market their brand or express their thoughts.&nbsp;But so many people are just terrible at it.

It&#39;s surprising that so many companies and individuals still don&#39;t understand how much backlash they can face for posting something insensitive or offensive. So, here are the most groan-worthy Twitter fails ever. Every one of them will make you cringe, and will make you wonder what the person behind the tweet was thinking. Some of them may have had good intentions, but ultimately&nbsp;they were tweets that backfired horrifically for the person or company involved. A lot of them have never recovered from the embarrassment.&nbsp;

The Suicide Squad

Villains

There's an ancient proverb that states: a superhero is only as good as their&nbsp;villain. Socrates said that, probably. Look, you can't prove he didn't. Anyway, despite this time-tested wisdom,&nbsp;it's a problem that many recent superhero films have struggled with. Compelling villains make for worthy challenges against the hero, and it's been awhile since we've seen a truly savage and evil villain on the big screen.If there were ever a superhero movie that deserved a particular nasty villain, it would be Suicide Squad. While the first film didn't have enough time to develop a memorable villain, hopefully the eventual sequel will take things to the next level. Over the years, some of the craziest Suicide Squad villains have battled the team of antiheroes, and any one of them would be perfect to pit against Task Force X in a future movie.Which Suicide Squad villains should be in the sequel? Black Adam, Bronze Tiger, and General Zod are just a few bad guys that could be making an appearance.&nbsp;Take a look and see all the Suicide Squad characters not in the movie, but have a chance of making an appearance&nbsp;in the future.&nbsp;

The Simpsons

Every hero needs a nemesis. Batman has the Joker, Sherlock Holmes has Moriarty, and Moe Szyslak has Bart Simpson. Prank calling Moe's Tavern isn't as reliable a joke as, say, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-simpsons-couch-gags-/coy-jandreau">the couch gag</a>, but Bart has nonetheless added to the already unrelenting misery of Moe's life. Of all all the unhealthy relationships between<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/all-the-simpsons-characters/reference"> the citizens of Springfield</a>, this one might be the most dangerous. Bart Simpson's&nbsp;prank calls have been part of&nbsp;The Simpsons&nbsp;almost as long as Homer's been downing Duff at the local watering hole.These are some of the best The Simpsons prank calls that Bart has ever made. The humor is childish, but Moe's threats and his inability to figure out he's being played elevate the silly jokes to new levels. Now it's time for you to judge for yourself.Vote up&nbsp;Bart's funniest prank calls from the many seasons of&nbsp;The Simpsons, then <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-funniest-business-names-in-the-simpsons/analise.dubner">swing by Stoner's Pot Palace</a>&nbsp;and tell 'em Itchy sent ya.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man

A few of the most brutally violent, shockingly gruesome, horrifically gory moments from comics books and graphic novels.

Comically Violent

Spider-Man (Superhero)

There&#39;s a reason why Spider-Man is consistently&nbsp;Marvel&#39;s number one comic seller by a huge margin. The character of Peter Parker is so relatable and timeless&nbsp;that millions of people have&nbsp;looked up to him as a role model and inspiration for decades. If anyone can claim the title of&nbsp;&quot;The Face&quot; of Marvel comics, it would be Spider-Man. That doesn&#39;t mean things are all rainbows and butterflies for everyone&#39;s favorite webhead, though.

Perhaps more than any other Marvel character, Spider-Man has been through the wringer. He often faces challenges that leave him broken and questioning his worldview. With all that&#39;s happened to him, it&#39;s a wonder he&#39;s still the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.&nbsp;

Comic Books & Characters

A hero is only as good as his villains, and thankfully Batman has the absolute <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-batman-villains/ranker-comics">best selection of rogues</a>&nbsp;of any DC hero. There&#39;s the egotistical Riddler, the tragic Two-Face, and of course the maniacal Joker, among others. These crazy Batman villains have helped cement the Dark Knight as a legend, and some of them have proven they&#39;re&nbsp;strong and complex enough to carry their own comic book series, too.

Below is a list of some of the worst things Batman villains have ever done. Some are grand, doomsday-esque scenarios, while others are more personal vendettas against people who messed with the wrong villains.&nbsp;Either way, all these villains are certifiably insane - and the&nbsp;psychotic things some of them have done definitely prove that fact.

Venom (Marvel)

Spider-Man has perhaps one of the most memorable Rogue&nbsp;Galleries out of any superhero, and one of his absolute worst enemies&nbsp;is the serial killer-turned-serial killer with a symbiote suit&nbsp;known as Cletus Kasady, AKA Carnage. The deranged psychopath once shared a cell with Eddie Brock, AKA Venom; when Eddie&#39;s symbiote suit came to the rescue, a part of it merged with Kasady, turning him into the even more dangerous Carnage.

Marvel on the Big Screen

The <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/every-character-from-the-marvel-cinematic-universe-ranked?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Marvel Cinematic Universe</a> is a powerhouse that slows no sign of slowing down. People have applauded the studio for making highly entertaining films that more or less faithfully adapt the spirit of the comic books in ways that are generally accessible to the everyday&nbsp;public. Most of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/non-dc-or-marvel-superhero-movies/erik-barnes?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Marvel Superhero movies</a> are based on&nbsp;the&nbsp;comic books, but not every storyline is adapted page for page. Marvel often finds it necessary to tweak and alter events so they play out differently in the films. Storytelling restraints, time management, and outdated ideas are all reasons why Marvel likes to change things up in ways that both fit the story and entertain audiences.But sometimes, Marvel makes changes because the original comic book&nbsp;story was way too brutal to bring to the big screen. Marvel films&nbsp;mostly try to be a&nbsp;family-friendly venture, so events like the Red Skull mutilating his own face or Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch's incestuous relationship don't really&nbsp;fly on the silver screen. Below is a list&nbsp;of Marvel movie scenes vs. Marvel comic scenes that show how much Marvel has changed in their storylines.&nbsp;

A lot of the innocent people Wolverine has killed over the years have been out of necessity, out of mercy, or for the greater good. Wolverine's ability to make those tough decisions is another reason why we can't get enough of him.Read more to see examples of&nbsp;Wolverine murdering&nbsp;innocent people, and as you learn more about his&nbsp;back&nbsp;story, maybe you'll even wonder which side he's really on.

What is synesthesia? How does it affect&nbsp;the brain? What causes it? Synesthesia&nbsp;is a&nbsp;fascinating neurological condition, but researchers still don't know much about it. People with synesthesia experience cross&nbsp;stimulation when one sensory or cognitive pathway&nbsp;leads to an involuntary sensation to another. To put it simply, people with synesthesia can&nbsp;taste sounds or hear colors.A person might listen to their favorite&nbsp;band and automatically taste popcorn, or always see a certain letter in a particular color. It's both incredibly wonderful and completely baffling. Everyone with synesthesia (known as synesthetes)&nbsp;experience things differently. Some will swear that the number two is blue, while others insist that the number two is obviously green. Scientists have documented many&nbsp;different examples of fascinating connections people with different kinds of synesthesia will make. But as&nbsp;interesting facts about synesthesia&nbsp;prove, part of its allure lies in its mystery.

What Life Was Like

US History

Life on the Oregon Trail was both incredibly boring and extremely dangerous. Pioneers had to exercise extreme caution and a lot of bravado to&nbsp;cross the 2,170 mile stretch of land starting in Missouri and ending in Oregon.&nbsp;Accidents and disease were just waiting around the corner, but a majority of the trip was just spent trudging along next to the wagon. To say daily life on the Oregon Trail was difficult is a vast understatement. It was hard work and required uprooting your entire family and deciding to venture West for new opportunities, but that didn&#39;t stop thousands of people from emigrating and making the long journey.

So what was daily life like on the Oregon Trail? It was dirty and cramped, but there also was a prevailing sense of enthusiasm and an adventurous spirit. These pioneers were making a trek into unknown territory and even though they knew the risks, they still decided to face the danger head on.

In a perfect world, the people chosen as diplomats -&nbsp;people who represent their home country -&nbsp;would be relatively good people.&nbsp;But, that's not always the case, as this list of crimes committed under diplomatic immunity shows.

And in many cases, authorities&nbsp;haven't done a thing thanks to diplomatic immunity.Movie fans reading this list will obviously think of&nbsp;Lethal Weapon 2. At the movie's conclusion, the bad guy gets away thanks to - you guessed it - diplomatic immunity. Of course,&nbsp;Danny Glover wouldn't let that happen, as he spouts off his famous remark:&nbsp;&quot;It's just been revoked&quot; and shot him on the spot. But that was just a movie. We live in the real world, and sadly not all diplomats can have their immunity revoked.&nbsp;Check out the list&nbsp;of crimes people weren't charged for, then take a moment to shake your head in disgust because sometimes the world just isn't fair.
