The 10 Most Asinine 1990s Comic Book Characters Who Never Caught On

The 1990s were a frenzied time for comic books. Sure, everybody was buying stacks of comics with hologram covers and quoting Wolverine non-ironically, but so, so many godawful new characters debuted during those years.

For every Deadpool or Harley Quinn who captured fans’ hearts, there were a dozen gaudily dressed nutjobs with katanas growing out of their armpits. Let us tip our hats to those lovable, unsung losers who epitomized that decades’ worst impulses (and fashions).

10 Epic Villains Who Were Supposed to be One-Offs

When it comes to supervillains, it’s all about survival of the fittest. Sometimes a villain is introduced who’s supposed to be a new Big Bad — but turns out to be a short-lived Little Awful instead. And sometimes, a villain who’s supposed to appear once and then never be seen again catches fire and becomes the all-time great arch-nemesis.

Here are 10 famous villains who were supposed to be killed off or disappear early on — but instead, they became some of the world’s most famous avatars of evil.

Meet the entire cast of 1950s greaser Batman’s Gotham City A wee while back, we featured Italian artist Denis Medri’s designs for a rockabilly take on the Dark Knight. Since then, he’s expanded his roster with some inspired 1950s Americana reinterpretations of Gotham’s heroes and villains. His version of Two-Face — who is a “mix of Richie Cunningham and a Evil Fonz” — might just be the most affably ridiculous thing we’ve seen all day. Here are some other character-specific design notes from Medri: - The Penguin is “a sort of entrepeneur fish industry import/export with criminal attitude.” - Poison Ivy is channeling Seymour from Little Shop of Horrors. - Joker is rocking the Teddy Boy style. - Catwoman is modeled on Bettie Page. Here are all of the characters (including Batman, if you missed him the first time around) and an action figure tribute by sculptor Johnny Vu. DC Comics, the ball’s in your court. [io9]

geek news - Retro Comic Book Characters of the Day

While many people point to Bruce Timm’s Batman: The Animated Series for giving art deco a second life to comic book fans, it’s no secret that Darwyn Cooke worked on the show, which makes sense when you look at retro aesthetic of The New Frontier. Artist Des Taylor is clearly inspired by that aesthetic, but there is a polish to his work that make pictures, like this Wonder Woman print, stand out among people who ape people like Cooke, Timm, or Dave Stevens.

What if Lars von Trier directed a Donald Duck movie?

As a completely depraved thought experiment, the Icelandic comedy troupe Mid-Island forced Disney’s cantankerous, pants-less mallard to conform to the gritty, hyper-spartan “Dogme 95” style pioneered by Danish directors like Lars von Trier.

Although Mid-Island doesn’t stick to the no-frills Dogme 95 rulebook entirely, disturbing scenes of Gladstone Gander and Daisy Duck getting frisky and Donald blowing rails make up for it. Somewhere, Carl Barks’ grave is spontaneously combusting.

Marvel’s Avengers marketing blitz continues with another TV spot for the much-hyped superhero team-up flick, featuring Tony Stark telling Loki just what he’s up against if he plans on messing with Earth.

To wit: the Hulk, who smashes up a few of Loki’s alien soldiers in this new footage. We also get a better look at the alien baddies themselves, and they definitely don’t look like Skrulls or Kree. So who are they?

We’ll find out when The Avengers assembles in theaters on May 4th.
