Your screams of agony are music to my avenging soul!

This (The 4 Even Creepier Comic Book Characters of All Time) is a response to this (The 6 Creepiest Comic Book Characters of All Time). Let's examine the new list, shall we?

#4 Arion (Magical Incest/Forced Pregnancy/Magical Rape)
#3 Grimbor the Chainsman (Bondage)
#2 Comet (Bestiality/Mind Control)
#1 Marcus Danvers (Mind Control/Rape/Forced Pregnancy/Incest)

(singsong voice) Which one of these is not like the other?

Grimbor the Chainsman is on the list of creepiest comic book characters of all time because of . . . bondage.
Grimbor first appeared in the Legion of SuperHeroes #221 in 1958.
He sure stands out since bondage is so rare in comics.
Wait, no.

Rape, mind control, forced pregnancy-awful. But tying people up? Isn't that kind of standard?

My protests, I admit, are at least partly due to my personal interest in the subject at hand, one which I do not see as inherently creepy.
