THINGS ABOUT COMIC BOOK SUPERHEROES OR VILLAINS

Writer's picture: K.G. LewisK.G. Lewis

30. Is a vigilante really good if they must work against the law to save the innocent? 29. Can villains really trust each other? 28. Villains always have capital. Never do we see them holding part time or full time jobs to support their career choice. Good guys have to. Good crowdfunding? 27. Is a villain truly evil? Do they see themselves as evil or misunderstood. A different point of view. 26. Why do disfigure bad guys look really ugly while the good disfigured guys look friendly.? Is it the soul. 25. Quite convenient how super powered folks know people who can build them equipment. Knowing someone with the government or was with the government can provide intel and support. 24. Good stories are good stories. No matter how old those stories are you do not need to restart. If an audience likes what you do then you keep going. Only worry if no one believes in what you tell. 23. Every series gets a reboot. Too many multi-verses where everything is confusing. Characters; location; cast and even origin stories get changed. Instead of just adding to the existing story, got to recreate the wheel. Why? 22. Weaknesses are weird. Allergic to colors; old rocks; minerals; the weather; the sun and anything else you can think of. 21. If you are naturally born with powers, is it cheating to use said talents in game shows; gambling or sports? 20. Super hero community was made for social media. So many have weird handles these days, no one would notice.

19. Wrong place right time. Or right place wrong time. You got powers or a super identity, then you are apparently destined to just stumble into trouble. Like a magnet.

18. Legacy characters are weird. Someone dies for five minutes or retires for ten, someone steps in the costume and name. Problem is that the replacement often looks nothing like the original but people are simple minded not to notice. Woman looks different then a man. Red and blue looks different then black and white. Tall versus short and big versus thin. Open your eyes!!!

17. Where do Villains and heroes’ shop for their business needs? Do they get discounts?

16. Superheroes get their powers either by radioactivity, tragedy, accident, magic trinkets or because they just happen to be tech geniuses with access to plenty of capital and can build some weird suit of something. And weaknesses that make no sense.

15. Spandex tights with gaudy colors for costumes that blend into nothing and even the blind with see you. Stealth is not possible. Seriousness is taken but I do not know how.

14. Secret identities while having friends and a normal job where everyone is dumb not to figure the truth while its staring at them. Where do they go when there is trouble? Why are said friends not around when the hero is around? What’s up with all the mysterious bumps and bruises?

13. Masks, unless covering the entire face, should not work. Full transformation changing everything is the only guarantee. Cheek bone coverage is not enough. Form fitting costumes are not hiding body shapes. Don't even get me on standing in the shadows

12. Can you sue a superhero or villain for damages?

11. Is there insurance coverage available for acts of super villainy? Who offers that type of coverage? Who pays for it? Who puts everything back together again?

10. Cool super powers which aren’t too useful for anything but fighting bad guys. Though heat vision would be awesome for microwave popcorn.

9. Silly superhero names which everyday people addresses you by with a straight face.

8. Villains tend to be scientists with the Doctor title in their names. Higher education causes evil?

7. Why do super villains get let out of prison so easily? Is the judicial system dead? Is bribery successful? Too forgiving our we? No money in the budget to keep all of the maniacs in super max prisons on mars? Might be a thing?

6. No one stays dead or retired, no matter how many times it happens

5. Super hero hide outs or evil lairs that no one can find even without realizing that only super villains would use an old carnival to plot world conquest.

4. Everybody has gadgets even when they have cool powers without them. Really, why if you can climb walls while throwing cars at a giant monster, do you need a jet powered motorcycle?

3. The police trusting in unknown masked vigilantes will save the day while the police get paid to keep us safe

2. Super teams that are social clubs which naively get caught in the same stupid schemes or supervillains.

1. Uber powered bad guys who try to dominant the world with over complex schemes which they explain to the heroes while in a needless trap instead of just unmasking or shooting said hero.​
