Here is a list of the top 10 nerdiest cartoon characters of all time. They are those characters that, if given life, would be great comic book heroes. Some of them are popular in the real world, but none of them would make any real comic book hero look like they are not nerds. The top ten list includes Superman, Spiderman, Batman, Dr. Strange, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, X-Men, Fantastic Four, The Powerpuff Girls, Inspector Gadget, etc. All of these cartoons have appeared on television and at various other places throughout the years.
When I say nerdy characters, I mean characters that are dark, scary, and often somewhat unintelligent. These characters are usually anti-heroes that are looking for ways to learn by doing things that involve reading, science, or other scientific research. Some of the characters on this list were noted as being about as smart as normal humans, while others were gifted, genius geniuses. However, every one of these characters was considered by the creators of these shows to be a nerd, because nerds are considered to be with a high intellect.
Every character on this list has some nerdy characteristics. Most of them have a strange habit of wearing glasses or contacts, that you don’t see very often in real life. Dr. Strange, for example, wears eye glasses. Of course, Dr. Strange isn’t actually a nerd, but he was given the nickname because he wears glasses and often times appears as though he is staring off into space. Another character that many consider to be a nerd is Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He also wore glasses, though they weren’t colored red.
