Well, to explain: I don't believe there is such a thing as a bad character, only bad writing.
Cody Jones could have been interesting, the 4Kids' take on Shadow Jones, but a cartoon show taking a hard right turn to sell more toys isn't going to put much more thought into it other than stereotypes, "audience appeal", and toys.
Garbageman could've been interesting, if he'd been toned down. A crazy guy who rules over the homeless, enslaving them for nefarious purposes? Sure, that could work... but not if you give him a bunch of robot technology that makes no sense and also treat him as a gimmick instead of something tragic or dangerous (like Baxter Stockman or Rat King).
So, disclaimer: these characters and situations COULD have worked but they sucked and were written to the lowest denominator OR were huge genre changes that alienated me.
There. That's off the top of my head.
