DC Comics: The Condiment King (enemy of Batman) Nov 10, 2022

The Condiment King proves that you can hold up a bank with dijon mustard. You can't do it well, and you'll get taken down almost immediately, but you can do it.

The Condiment King actually first appeared in Batman: The Animated Series, but his first comic appearance was in Batgirl: Year One.

Prize Comics: The Balloon Maker (enemy of Frankenstein) Nov 03, 2022

Show notes

Somehow, the Balloon Maker, a villain who makes balloons from a comic clearly meant for children, is the most disturbing villain we've talked about so far.

The Balloon Maker made his first (and thankfully last) appearance in Frankenstein #14.

Thrilling Comics: Dark Archer (enemy of Hale of the Herald) Oct 21, 2022

The Dark Archer is a great name for an objectively terrible villain. Lucky for him, everyone else was equally incompetent.

The word in the disclaimer is "boner." Apparently in the 1940s people used it in children's comics to mean a clumsy mistake. We mention it between 2:20-2:40 initially, and then again at the end of Dark Archer's section at 6:25.

Marvel: The Melter & Mr. Doll (enemies of Iron Man) Oct 13, 2022

Show notes

We'll see how you can find inspiration to improve from the unlikeliest of places...even from a guy named The Melter. He melts stuff, if you couldn't tell from his super creative and terrifying name.

The Melter first appeared in Tales of Suspense #47 and Mr. Doll first appeared in Tales of Suspense #48.
