6 WORST Villains EVER!

·Nov 10, 2024

Vsauce. Michael here today with a special video. It's a Skype conversation I had with Newt from Underbelly, where he teaches me about six actual villains from real comic books that are really, really lame. He's joined by a bunch of ladies from Underbelly, and as you will see immediately from Storytime, he's quite the ladies' man.

First things first, you should know that I'm kinda busy right now playing the May update for Angry Birds Rio, and I'm not wearing pants. So, we're already up to a really good start.

"Hey, over here. It can't be," Prince Hobopopo says. "In the flesh." If you're gonna read me the bad guys, you gotta read in the scary voice. You know I only want you on the show if you do what I tell you. "In the flesh." Just be quiet, I wanna do this.

At number 6 we were gonna have Kite-Man, who's a Batman villain, who's just some dork with a kite strapped to his back, but I decided instead to go with a color-blind villain, because color blindness is nothing to joke about in America. So, I thought I would go with Rainbow Rider, who is a Flash villain, and this guy just sucks, alright? He basically has glasses that project colors, and then he creates structures for him to emote from that are colorful, but I mean, really, this guy's just fabulous. 'Cause everything is rainbow-colored.

Anyway, it's just one of those characters where it's like four o'clock in the morning and they're like, "Oh, we got to have the Flash fight, somebody." "I know, we'll have a guy who rides rainbows."

The next one on the list, number 5, we have Armless Tiger Man. Basically, this guy's story was he was a small German boy who had his arms ripped off in an industrial accident. He went around during Golden Age Marvel books using his sharp teeth and his prowess with his toes to destroy all machines.

Next up on the list, we have Crazy Quilt, who is a Batman villain, and this guy has the most eye-be-jarringly bad costume in comic book history. And I think I just made up the word "eye-be-jarring." Crazy Quilt was a low-level robber who was blinded by a bullet, but in prison had an experimental surgery to restore his vision. But unfortunately, the vision that he was left with was so disorienting that it drove him crazy.

Wow, Vsauce doesn't even have t-shirts and you guys already have dresses and girls. We have several... we have home and away uniforms.

Next up on the list, we have Egg Fu. An Egg Fu was a Wonder Woman villain, who, at the peak of the Red Scare, would try to have people denounce their love for the red, white, and blue, and this worked with him using fear, because he is essentially a giant egg with a mustache.

Katie, what do you think about Egg Fu? It doesn't matter, she's a woman.

Next up from the freaky deaky seventies, we have the Hypno-Hustler. And this guy's clearly... he's got the most glorious glittering crusted Afro I've seen on the printed page; it's amazing. Armed with hypno goggles and... oh, one second. Thank you. Any port in a storm, right? The ladies keep coming. I have them bring me drinks every now and again when I get parched.

Armed with his hypno goggles and power boots, he put the audience in a trance and was able to rob them. His name is Turner D. Century, and he was a Spider Woman villain, and essentially he hates young people and he wants to restore San Francisco to the glory days of like the 1900s. So, he flies around on a bicycle, okay? And he goes toe-to-dandy-toe with any superhero who tries to stop him. And he has a horn that's honking fury will kill anyone under the age of 65 years old. And that's how he can restore San Francisco to the glory days.

So, that was our top six worst, my top six super villains in comic book history. And this is kicking off, this month is Superhero Month. We're gonna give you a top 10 worst superhero list, so turn up a little bit. Kevin from Underbelly is going to give us a little piece called "Saving Superman." And then we're gonna introduce a new Underbelly character, and we hope that you enjoy it.

It's gonna be some fantastic stuff going on this weekend, just in time for Captain America and the Green Lantern, all the big comic book movies coming out this summer. That is perfect.

So, yeah, everybody out there go over to Underbelly show on YouTube and be sure you're subscribed for their unique brand of infotainment, and, of course, the ladies. In fact, to fit in better, let me just do this. Perfect, okay, great.

So, yeah, go check it out, it's superhero and villain month over on Underbelly shows. Subscribe. And as always, thanks for watching.
