In a world so stinking with superheros it makes sense that there MUST be the Silly but effective superheros. Not everyone can be the brooding jerk with heart of gold like Wolverine. At the same time her former team the Great Lakes Avengers proves that having powers doesn't make a successful hero. The GLA actually have useful powers, but unlike the rest of the Marvel universe their personal issues and lack of skill actually hinder their heroics, they don't even get to fight crime if ANYONE else is available.
So while they start out as silly joke characters, when you actually look at it their existence makes sense.
Finally don't underestimate what thousands of squirrels with a single goal can accomplish!
