Demolition Man has recently starred in a Lego Marvel movie. I've not watched it yet, but I think it's awesome that it's a thing. While he's made a multiple "Worst Avengers of All Times" lists, I love the character. D-Man is such a great supporting character.
In addition to the nasty villains, reminder Punch A Nazi Week starts back up tomorrow, I thought it would be nice to post some positive supporting characters. D-Man is a fun LGBTQ+ character and serves as a mentor to trans mutant youth in the 616.

Background
Demolition Man (aka D-Man) is an athlete that had his strength and endurance augmented by the Power Broker (though this would weaken his heart). While he's often seen as a joke (especially considering his costume is an amalgamation of Wolverine and Daredevil's), he is respected by Steve Rogers and many of his close allies (as well as Ben Grimm). D-Man gained some fame in the Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation. Despite those highs, he's also had some lows, being homeless, brainwashed, and delusional at various times in his life. He has died a few times but comes back. At one point he lost his powers, was killed, and even resurrected as a vampire.
While not trans himself, D-Man is queer and serves as the mentor for the trans mutant support group/team, Super Trans (aka the Morally Superior X-Men).
