    As you pointed out he is a tragic character. He had a sad life, with little comfort. I think his death was really emotional. Ps: loved the fact you had that lost Patchwork Man story. I think that is not a coincidence. Thanks for the video.

    I like that this character actually got an actual ending instead of being milked till he became unrecognizable like what sometimes happens with tragic characters. Can’t say I heard of him before but you really can’t go wrong when using Frankenstein for inspiration.

    Amazingly, I had HEARD of the Patchwork Man, but I basically knew nothing about him other than his name, his basic look, and the fact he was a Swamp Thing Rogue. Obscure and relatively short-lived as he may have been, I think this guy had a lot of potential, based on what you've shown us here, and while I agree the ending(s) he got were powerful, I actually do wish that we could have gotten more of him. ON THE OTHER HAND, his whole story essentially sounds like a cross between Boris Karloff's Frankenstein Monster (you will note I credit that one specifically, since the book version of the character is very different) and Mr. Freeze (just replace his wife Nora with his daughter Abby). At first that sort of sounds awesome, but then I keep reminding myself that the Universal Sequels didn't exactly do much good for the Monster after his first two or three films, and that Freeze, renowned as he is, is actually a really hard character for writers to handle at times. So maybe it's for the best.

    Very interesting publication history for the poor guy. Are you aware of the Green Arrow / Batman villain Onomatopoeia? He's only been involved in 3 major stories focused around him (One Green Arrow, the other two Batman), and I'm not sure he's made any appearance since New 52 happened. He's a pretty interesting, if not very realized character, at least for me. Also just wondering your opinions on the villain Prometheus. If I recall correctly in your Wrath video you said Wrath was your favorite anti-batman, and your thoughts on him weren't themselves the best anyway, so I'm interested in if you like Prometheus in anyway, or just don't really care for him. I don't think he's really a great character, however that being said I do find him really cool personally, and sometimes that's all a character needs. His lair itself is enough to make him stick in my mind.

      Thanks! You cant have Halloween without Frankenstein. So, now all we need is a vampire - as I've already done a werewolf. ;) So far though, I haven't found a suitable vampire - whose obscure enough. I mean there's several one shot vampires here and there, but I really want to avoid covering rogues whose only appeared in one single issue; those videos just end up being too short.

  • @leadingfaction6728
    @leadingfaction6728 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    You know when I saw the description, I thought it was from one of the video I linked you about the scariest villains in comics, took me my surprise when it wasn't them.
    Anyway, I have a villain request for you, and it's a Green Lantern one, Black Hand. Originally written as a standard super villain, he was revamped in the Post-Crisis continuity to become a darker, more disturbing character who eventually brought about the rise of the Black Lanterns and the events of Blackest Night. Seeing as how he's a Green Lantern villain and also a horror villain, I thought he'd be perfect for this month, although I'm uncertain where he'd fit in.

    • @mr.rogues4145
      @mr.rogues4145  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I can say for sure that Black Hand wont show up this october, BUT, it's very possible in the future. He, and many other GL rogues, really need to show up on this channel. I've been thinking for a long time about doing my top 5 best GL rogues, and hopefully I'll get to that before the year's over.. :P

    • @leadingfaction6728
      @leadingfaction6728 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Aw, well in that case, how about Gentleman Ghost, a Hawkman foe who's associated more as a Batman rogue, likely because his visual design fits more with the gothic architecture of Gotham City. If not that, then perhaps something a bit out of the ordinary, like the EC Horror Comics, Goosebumps, or even Dick Tracy!

  • @crypticcorgi8280

    I have a few requests:
    1. Forgotten Super Hero: Spider Queen. She actually predates Spider Man with a rather interesting gimmick that a lot of people may recognize. She showed up 1941, 21 years before Spider Man.
    2. Forgotten Villain: The Walrus. Somehow, able to defeat an entire team of heroes but mostly a joke.
    3. Forgotten Hero: Mad Hatter - Grant Richmond he was created in 1946, about two years before the Batman villain.
    4. Forgotten Hero/Villain: Bozo the Iron Man - A robot that was first controlled for evil and later used for good. Predated the better known Iron Man by thirty-two years having come out in 1931.
    5. Forgotten Hero: Kangaroo man. Can you imagine a super hero that's actually just a trained animal? Well "Bingo" the Kangaroo is just that. Although just an "ordinary trained kangaroo" he could even ride a motorcycle. Debuted 1941.
    6. Forgotten Hero: Doll Man. Considering the popularity of Ant-Man and the Wasp, try the first shrinking super hero. This is Doll Man, a character who could shrink to about six inches. He even teams up with Ant Man on a few occasions. He first appeared in 1939.

    • @MrWhitman
      @MrWhitman 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Another one that I think you might want is:
      Forgotten Supervillain: Humpty Dumpty real name: Humphrey Dumpler. Poor misguided soul that is probably the most sympathetic villain I've ever seen in Batman comics. His main appearance was, "Arkham Asylum: Living Hell." From there he's pretty much just made cameo appearances.
