Added DiffLines:

* Dumb Bunny from the Inferior Five ('60s humor comic from Creator/{{DC|Comics}}), whose name says it all, really. She's "stronger than an ox -- and almost as smart!"
* In ComicBook/TheEyeOfMongombo, [[{{Jerkass}} Norbert Nuskle's]] brother-in-law Boswick is so dim, it takes him roughly ten seconds to react or answer someone.
* The eponymous character from ''ComicBook/GrooTheWanderer'' was infamously slow of mind. It often took him pages to react to an insult, and recurring characters would frequently have to remind Groo that they had met before. Sometimes he'd remember that he knew them, but not whether or not he ''liked'' them. Say, what did he mean, "Slow of Mind"?
* Boom-Boom/Meltdown/Tabitha Smith of ''ComicBook/{{Nextwave}}'': trailer-trash klepto with the power to make things go boom. She says "[[LeetLingo zomg]]" out loud and misspells ''her own name.''
-->"I ''hate'' cops! Because, like, cops keep ''arresting'' me and stuff? For ''stealing?'' Like stealing's a ''crime'' or something?
** [[spoiler: Forbush Man]]'s mental powers do not work on her. Guess why. Her explanation? "I gave him the explodo because I am clever."
* A particularly extreme example would be minor EldritchAbomination Avaggdu from ComicBook/{{Slaine}}. So terminally stupid that when tricked into biting his hands, he doesn't notice they're his and starts devouring himself ''until there's literally '''nothing left.'''''
* Kelly from ''ComicBook/SoulsearchersAndCompany'' is undoubtedly helpful, cheerful and well-meaning. However, she is also far from the sharpest tool in the shed. In her background, it is stated that one of the reasons Arnold keeps her employed is that she usually forgets to ask for her salary.
* The Parademon from the ''[[ComicBook/SecretSix Villains United]]'' miniseries. He even fully admits to wanting to die in a stupid gesture.
* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'':
** In their original iteration back in the pages of ''ComicBook/SensationComics'' two of the Heyday triplets were {{dumb blonde}}s -- to the point that their grandmother left their inheritance to the one smart triplet figuring they'd be better off with her in charge of their money -- who still liked to pull pranks and hated fascists along with the rest of the Holliday Girls. Their ''ComicBook/TheLegendOfWonderWoman2016'' iterations were reduced to twins, changed to redheads and the traditionally smart one became the clueless one while the other became the smart one.
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': Stheno has a tendency towards cluelessness that irritates her sisters. One of her standout moments involved licking a television because there was ice cream on the screen, even though she's been around [=TVs=] before and should be aware it's just an image. It's possible she's lost a bit of grey matter during her numerous [[ResurrectiveImmortality resurrections]].
