Secret Six/Nightmare Fuel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Chalk one more up for DC with Gail Simone's Secret Six. The jokes and the freaky stuff are so tightly entwined sometimes (* cough* Ragdoll) that you'll get Mood Whiplash, but a standout is Junior. Just...Junior. * shudder*
    • For those who haven't read this incredible but, at times, creepy as hell comic: Junior is a woman who's the younger sister of the second Ragdoll. Their father, the original Ragdoll - who was a mass murderer, rapist and cult leader, among other things - was also a pedophile and he molested Junior for much of her life. Grown up Junior has become so psychotic and feels so "Ugly" inside that she had surgery to make herself as hideous as possible. She now gets her jollies by torturing, raping and murdering (not necessarily in that order) men and women. The three most horribly memorable moments are her ordering a priest to absolve her of her sins, only to murder him brutally when he refuses, torturing Bane by throwing bricks against his body with such force that they shatter on impact (counting down how many bricks are left to assault him with as she does) and calmly slicing her brother's fingers off with a pair of scissors.
      Yes, she is Nightmare Fuel Incarnate, thank you for asking.
