Days before the launch of San Diego Comic-Con this summer, McAfee released its first-ever Most Toxic Superheroes list, with Aquaman coming in at number 1. For the first time ever, McAfee “researched which superheroes are kryptonite on the web and result in bad links, including viruses, malware, and sites laden with malicious software designed to steal passwords and personal information,” according to the company.
