    Lobo

    He's got that energy of does what he wants, so if his wants are steered towards the plot Lobo has great potential to be a hero.

    Also I guess Principal Lewis from Family Guy is almost the dame in that depending of the plot he's a hero or villain.

      This is moronic to even suggest. He slaughtered an entire planet what the frick is wrong with you?

      Man-Bat
      Mr. Freeze
      The Riddler
      Livewire
      The Parasite

      Livewire and man-bat sure. The rest are good for conditional team-ups but not full face turns. People are way too quick to forgive murder and terrorism.

      Do people like you even read comics? Lobo is one of the least redeemable DC characters

        Nta but Lobo trying to go full hero, actually doing it successfully, and acting indignant to other supes giving him shit about it would be kino.

        How is Lobo any less redeemable than the viltrumites or Vegeta?

          Neither of those are DC properties, that being said vegeta didn’t murder every other Saiyan.

      Lobo could only do heroics because it happens to coincide with his own selfishness and other goals. And then it's funny because even when he's doing good he's still being an butthole about it.

    >Spider-Man, Daredevil and Punisher all skeptical and all relate the times they thought Stilt-Man could be good but Day or another person wound up using the ideas for crime

    Barring that, an anthology about people finding and using Stilt-Man gear over the years for other purposes since his stuff did everything from self-lubricating to popping stilts out of stilts to that alien ray gun.

        He did have a regular feature in the Batman Family comic and was a hero for most of his early existence

          Well that’s good but I would like them to make him an official member but I haven’t been keeping up so I have no idea what Kirk is up to in the comics

            It depends, sometimes he's an ally, other times he's a villain. Not sure what he's doing now, I haven't read a Batman comic since Shadow War.

      Isnt Livewire and Parasite currently working with Superman under Steelworks? Man-Bat was a hero under Justice League Dark, and Riddler was a detective for a while after he had his head bonked during Hush IIRC

      >Freeze
      Imo his redemption should be retiring from supershit completely and focusing on science, while accepting Nora's loss, grieving, and moving on instead of staying stuck on curing her.
      >Riddler
      I'd like to see anotehr reformed PI era with him being more genuinely reformed, struggling with guilt and trying to do good for its own sake while dealing with the fact that no one trusts a former villain. Although that could veer into territory of being kind of a Question-lite.
      >Parasite
      Maybe some kind of prison guard for supervillains who keeps their power down to a manageable level, although that does seem like kind of an evil and abusive use of power.

    Silver Swan(literally WW goddaughter who got tortured and mutilated into what she is now, it surprising writers haven't tried to fix her yet. I feel like she's a better candidate for redemption than Cheetah, since Cheetah willingly sought out cursed gods for power and Vanessa had everything forced on her. If writers need a villainous Silver Swan, they could use Helena, the OG who was magic based)

    Mr. Freeze( Give him back his wife with no strings attached, like she was secretly evil all along or whatever they pulled a while back, have him work with herpes as community service and let him and the wife retire.)

    Terra( Considering how writers spent years trying to push Deathstroke as a hero/ antihero despite everything and Raven, who betrayed the Titans multiple times is still treated as a hero, I think she deserves a hero arc of her own. Maybe it works out, maybe it doesn't but it would be a new storyline for the Titans franchise, something writers seem unwilling or unable to do right now)

      Phil Jimenez wrote a good ending for redemption with Vanessa as Silver Swan.
      Post-Flashpoint writers screwed that over though.
      Now Julia has been killed in a car accident further making Vanessa crazy

    The already did good guy Lex Luthor, Dr. Doom and Magneto. Hell, they did good guy Carnage once during the Axis event and it was hilarious. Good guy Joker happened recently I think.

    Some characters that are irredeemable could be heroes in alternate universe stories. Imagine a truly heroic Bullseye. A benevolent Darkseid. Black Manta with any thought in his head other than revenge. Mr. Sinister curing cancer. Kingpin as a health guru. Mojo running a charity.

    Cheetah going full carmen sandiego+lara croft as a hot cat eared young woman.
    Would be funny if she became more popular then WW and had to deal with the look of dissapointment when she shows up instead of Cheetah.
    Moses Magnum...mainly because...that's a cool fricking name.

    Any stories of villains trying to turn good but everybody still treats them like shit because redemption is a stupid idea and so they’re still evil?

    Going to go with nicher picks here. Blue Snowman and Tattooed Man (second one) probably have the best shot at being superheroes. Snowman is just a more powerful Capt Cold and Freeze. While Tattooed Man is already like vaugley a hero.
