We've gone to the bad place! The baaaaad plaaace!

Shortpacked!: He's a snowflake.

Hey, the guy who hosts my site, Bookworm, runs this place for not much at all.  He just likes me!  And it all runs so smoothly.  He is an insanely selfless man.  But he just had a kid, and, well, his site has a Paypal Donation button, hint hint hint.  That is all.

Wave 12 is hitting, is it? Nice.

[shortpacked]

As I mentioned yesterday, I got mine from Big Bad Toy Store.

[candidgamera]

I ordered Wave 12 through my local comic shop via Diamond - had to get a whole case of ten, but I'm tired of having to hunt through Wal-Marts and Targets and Toys R' Uses, then be forced to pay internet prices to finish the set.

MattyCollector did a good thing with Wave 11, selling the whole set online on their site directly.

There has been 3 Marvel characters called Copperhead, 1 of them did fight Spider-Man...

But he was mainly one of Daredevil's rogues. Though he was called Copperhead because he literally had a copper head... http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/copp1.htm

Though there was also a Snake motifed Copperhead who was a part of the Serpent Society http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix4/copperheadss.htm

The Serpent Society was formed not for an increase in power or money, but so the snake-themed villians can have a place to hang out without all the other bad guys laughing at them.

Okay, no, but it sounds true.

[montyprime]

Actually, most of the Serpent Society were based off a specific sort of snake. Plus, it's not like Grizzly was named "Bear".

What are these "Zoomer cars"?

[bdrisch]

I too am confused about this "Zoomer car". Google is failing. I won't sleep until I know.

[montyprime]

Joe is an engineer is he not?

Perhaps part of the next storyline is that he's finally mass-producing Ultra Car as Zoomer Cars?

[marauderdz]

Yeah, kinda wondering what a Zoomer Car is myself. Also couldn't figure it out from Google, which is really unusual.

[sgthauser]

I remember a few issues where Spider-Man battled a villain called "the Cobra." (I think the Cobra was partners with Mister Hyde at the time.)

Doesn't Bat-Man have a villain named "Crazy Quilt?" That's got to be the least fear inspiring moniker ever. Why not just call yourself "Grandma's Embroidery Hoop?" ;)

[sgthauser]

Calculator, Calendar Man, Killer Moth...

...

Johnny Witts.

They both have plenty of the ridiculous, really, Spider-Man and Batman. But it remains that the two of them have just about the best bunches of bad guys in the world of superhero comics.

Now people with stupid rogues' galleries? Iron Man. Iron Man. Iron Man. Mandarin's cool. Stane, Ghost, and Crimson Dynamo can be, if written right. Everyone else?

I mean, he has the Unicorn. The freakin' Unicorn. What do you have to do to be stuck with the Unicorn as one of your villains?

[sabre_justice]

That reminds me, have we ever had a decent Spider-man/Batman crossover? That could be so hilarious.

Although I think Copperhead is probably more a Wonder Woman villain, she has enemies like Cheetah. (speaking of a crappy rogues gallery...)

[sgthauser]

There have been 2, both in the 90s I think. The first one was very cool with Carnage and Joker, and the second one wasn't as cool with Ra's Al Ghul and the Kingpin.

I absolutely love Copperhead's head sculpt. That laugh. I've never read a single comic with the guy in it, but I might get the figure just for that laugh, if I can find him.

Now what to do with him... Ooh, DC Classics scale Serpentor kitbash? I mean he's practically there already. This bears thinking about.
