Introducing Randy's father, Hrothgar. Much to Randy's embarrassment, Hrothgar is an anti-hero called "Nordic Lightning" (formerly Black Lightning), and strives to put a stop to Professor Blackheart's schemes with his medieval longsword, dirty fighting, an analytical mind and a biting wit. Unlike Dark McPlaidshirt, Nordic Lightning works under the radar and doesn't seek glory or fame, nor is he out to impress anyone or pull any punches. Professor Blackheart, in fact, doesn't know he exists, despite all the damage he does to his underlings and his plans. He's also a master of the insult, not unlike Groucho Marx. Hrothgar is named after a character in the Old English epic poem Beowulf, a Danish warrior king. Like the heroes of old, Hrothgar is brave and unapologetic, and isn't clean-shaven in any way. (note: at one point he was named “Black Lightning”, when I wasn’t aware that there was already a DC superhero with that name.)

Just discovered that this little webcomic has disappeared from the internet, so i figured I might as well preserve it here since I have the entire run.
The character is based on this, fyi: http://4thletter.net/2009/09/dude-youre-getting-a-dell-dracula/

Hard to say if these are the worst superheroes, but they're definitely the weirdest.
