Hello? It’s like being scared of a book report on the Declaration of Independence.” Cloud “Well, I do have lupus, fibromyalgia, and restless leg syndrome.”Ģ1: “Maybe we can work with the restless leg. Cloud’s little baby voice.)Ģ1: “Do you have any superpowers, you know, bit by a radioactive bug or anything?” I always make wee-wee when tickles.” (Ugh, the lines somehow worse when you hear it in St. I’m wearing my rubber panties just in case you tickle me. Cloud: “Oh goodie, I’m being hazed by my Big Villain. Z seems like a really great guy to hang out with. I assume that’s going to be a major plot point going forward. Cloud’s level 6 lightning gun goes missing in the fracas. I assume they wouldn’t have him die off-screen, would they? The Action Man is not mentioned during the scene with Col.It’s a facade for a subway ventilator in Brooklyn. Also, the “ creepy looking building” is indeed real.You’d be buried between two boats and, well, the stuff she mentioned would happen. It’s called scaphism and it was an ancient Persian method of execution. Hatred and the Moppets, for instance.) For some, St. Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer sometimes get it into their heads to ram a character many fans find unpleasant into the ground - or at least until some fans give in and like them.Cloud if he could only coach his old henchmen like that, he probably could be a more effective villain. The Monarch…well, The Monarch at least tries to mentor St. Still, that’s Rusty exhibiting “dad’ behavior. Sure, it could be because Billy looks up to Rusty and Rusty maybe feels a little guilty about letting his friend down. Rusty’s patronizing to Billy, but he does try to calm his friend’s nerves during his first superfight. The Monarch and Rusty improve their own protagonist/antagonist relationship through the training of their seconds. (Hell, at least Turnbuckle, the villain that started the Equally Matched Aggression Levels law in the first place had some limited fighting skills.) Cloud is as much of a fat whiny slug as the creature in the Guild women’s restroom. He doesn’t compete and really doesn’t seem interested in improving in the least. He thinks his money can solve all of his problems. He’s totally self-absorbed and yet lacks any self-awareness. He’s the negative hoarder to Billy’s positive geek. Cloud, “The Terrible Secret of Turtle Bay” Monarch comes off as Dr. (By the way, this episode really makes The Monarch’s operation look good, doesn’t it? Early in the series, his army of incompetent henchmen, inability to focus on a master plan, and his constant ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory made the Monarch look like a real loser. Even The Monarch and 21, his Big Villain mentors, see him as a pest only to be dealt with so The Monarch can rise in rank. The only thing he has is his money, but money can’t by class or skill. He barely puts in the effort to arch Billy Quizboy. More is needed than costume and an albino for someone to really commit acts of malice.Īugustus St. However, just going through the proper channels doesn’t make someone a worthy villain. Gathers’s S.P.H.I.N.X (Sphinx!) was about curtailing those dangerous individuals that had world-domination capabilities without going through proper channels. He just has to dislike you for some petty reason - like beating him on a game show decades ago.Ĭol. He doesn’t even have to be particularly good at hating you or being particularly skilled at hating you. After all, an archenemy is just a guy who hates you a lot. The floor for being a villain is pretty low.
