SuperVillain Showdown #14

scottkowalchuk — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 08:59:00 -0800

So, Culve’s and I realized after the long delay on the Puzzler we’re both too crazy busy to do the redesigns every couple of weeks. Redesigning, while a tonne of fun, is also a lot of extra work. We talked about it and decided we’re going to keep doing a SuperVillain every couple of weeks, but the redesign is now optional.

With that said, our next challenge (which will sprawl over a number of weeks):

THE LEGION OF DOOM!

And First up:

SINESTRO!

SuperVillain Showdown #13

scottkowalchuk — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 21:01:00 -0800

Okay, this week is going to be a bit more abstract, so hold onto your hats.

In 1967 during season 2 of the Adam West Batman TV series veteran actor Maurice Evans (best known as Doctor Zaius from Planet of the Apes) was called to fill the void left by Frank Gorshin (as Gorshin was in a contract dispute with the Producers). Evans character, the Puzzler, was designed to fit a script originally written for Gorshin’s Riddler. And, thus, Batman matched wits with the Puzzler, a villain who was particularly fond of Shakespeare and Aviation (obviously the specific narrative device used for the Riddler script, conveniently substituted into the Puzzler’s character).

Personally, I always dug the episode (especially the hilarious escape from the hot air balloon), but I always thought Evans attire could have used a pinch more ‘umph’.

So, this week’s Showdown Maurice Evans as the Puzzler!

I think it’s funny how Dennis and I both pictured Claw with a mask on, just seems more fitting.

Showdown #12

dennisculver — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 15:23:00 -0700

This week’s supervillain is the leader of the evil organization M.A.D. He went largely unseen except for his trademark gauntlet. His likeness was finally revealed when his action figure was released and it was frankly bullshit.

Villains and villainettes, I give you: DOCTOR CLAW

Note: Hey, Scott here, just wanted to second Dennis’ opinion of the Claw action figure — it was a load of crap. Seriously, if you haven’t looked it up, it was so deflating, as a kid. I came across it at the Bay toy department in Saskatoon (yep, I remember the first time I saw it). This is my favorite pick to date, Dennis!
