Dumbest Superhero origins?

Who would you say had the dumbest origin of any superhero? By which, I mean the most imaginative, most fun but most unlikely? Personally, I'd nominate either:

The original Blue Beetle (gained a variety of super powers from a vitamin pill he used to buy from the local pharmacy)

The original Black Condor (learned to fly as a result of being lost in the wilderness as a child and raised by a flock of wild condors)

or the Whizzer (gained super speed from a life saving transfusion of Mongoose blood).

Those are all very, very bad, but I've always considered Wally West's origin to be the absolute worst. Even as a kid I couldn't believe how lazy it was. Mark Waid tried to touch it up a bit, as I recall, but all he really wound up doing was making an absurd coincidence into a bizarre paradox. Points for effort, though.

I think Waid did a good job on that story but yeah, the original was very lazy writing. I don't think you'd have caught me within a mile of Barry Allen's lab, the place was obviously jinxed!

Most of 'em are pretty dumb if you stop and think about them for a minute...

I guess Batman is the closest to being actually possible, though he'd have to be pretty demented.

Batman's origin is only possibly if there are no psychiatrists in Gotham.

Well, there are at least three: Jeremiah Arkham, Harley Quinn and Professor Hugo Strange. But they're all nuttier than Batman...
