Are there bad characters in fiction as in they were bad ideas?

[Adam Allen]

I actually didn't mind that character but he could probably be better used as a horror/supernatural character.

Yeah, I suppose I could see POW being a not-horrible character, in a supernatural/horror context ... it's having him in the superhero genre that makes him seem just such a mis-fire, for me. I mean ... pretty sure part of his look there too is that he's wearing the dog-tags of all his fellow soldiers who died, around his neck. Not cool. It's not fricking jewelry; why are you wearing it??

But yeah, if he's in a darker, spookier context, it could work.
