Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Difference between revisions

Line 153:

*** It was also noted in a comic about one of Marvel's superprisons that since Batroc's abilities all come from a lifetime of training, people like him are the most dangerous in supervillain prisons, as most of the villains either have their powers sealed or their tech taken away. Another name dropped in that vein is the Kangaroo, of all people.

*** Even ''[[Batman]]'' himself commends Batroc on his speed and skills after defeating him (off-panel) in Volume 4 of ''[[JLA-Avengers]]''.

** He's bigger than the Kingpin! He's the crime lord of Miami! He's '''the Slug'''! So says the cover blurb for ''Web of Spider-Man Annual'', but unfortunately for Ulysses X Lugman (who in fact first appeared in the ''[[Nomad]]'' limited series where Cap was a guest star), that's it. He's a 1,200 [[The Cartel|drug Lord]] with all the fighting skills of a bean bag chair. He [[Evil Cripple| can't even move on his own]] without a giant mechanical wheelchair. Maybe this could be seen as an analogy for America fighting obesity, but most of the time he's just a big joke.

* Rainbow Raider in ''[[The Flash]]'' became this, once going so far as to attend a villainy motivational seminar in a futile effort to stop losing all the time. Neron once sent him an invitation to his [[Not So Harmless|upgrades-for-souls meeting]] just so the Trickster could steal it from him.
