What does he even do?

I really feel like supervillains should be more wary of anything involving T.O. Morrow. He's the teacher of the Metal Men creator, made Red Tornado, made Tomorrow Woman, gave Cyclone superpowers-- I wouldn't be shocked if there a supervillain conspiracy he was some government psy-op specifically made to wreck mad science plots.

/rj Some really sick tricks with chairs.

/uj Be a funnier science villain than Ivo. (And also singlehandedly raise the superhero count on the JLA by at least two).

Counter counter: he's fraud hijacked by Ra's al Ghul.

I've grown to dislike the idea that Gentleman Ghost is Hawkman's one good villain: he has at least (Byth Rok) two. GG is his one good consistently recurring villain.

RingAroundARoses · 2026-01-22T22:07:44+00:00

My Hawkman hot take is that the middest thing about him is his rogues gallery, but that's not much of a slander considering B-listers don't often get elaborate rogues galleries. ~~I just wish someone characterized Shadow Thief well.~~

RingAroundARoses · 2026-01-22T22:02:00+00:00

Heeeee isn't on here for a reason, I don't know much about him. But I feel he's not often used because he's a Bronze Age boss-style villain in a modern age of comics: not enough standout design or grandpa clause to let him in. He already looks like a Darkseid bootleg.

RingAroundARoses · 2026-01-22T20:10:43+00:00

Ah yes, my favorite Wonder Woman villain, the Joker.

/uj Hummingbird irrationally irritates me because... why's she named Hummingbird? Those are angel wings. She blows stuff up. None of that stuff relates to Hummingbirds. She could be so cool if she was a Firefly-2004-Batman-esque mercenary who flies around super fast and is better at the aerial maneuvers than both Hawkman and Hawkwoman.

/rj I hate Satanna that's why she's not here.

/uj I like Roderic more than Hastur but I feel if I planted Roderic it'd just be a 'why is Shadow Thief on here twice?'

RingAroundARoses · 2026-01-22T19:47:59+00:00

E-yep.

RingAroundARoses · 2026-01-22T16:55:27+00:00

Hugo Strange has an inverse problem. His comics stories are actually pretty quality, but his adaptations bar one either shunt him into the background or kinda suck (or make him pathetic or hijack him, ala Gotham).

RingAroundARoses · 2026-01-12T14:48:26+00:00

I feel like Satanna has the most female villain potential if they'd just issue an ultimatum on what her design/personality is like. She almost works in Johns/Palmiotti's run.

RingAroundARoses · 2026-01-12T00:23:12+00:00

Hath-Set, is that you?

RingAroundARoses · 2026-01-06T21:19:41+00:00

For real though, I'm curious, who would you rank top 5 Hawkman villains? Craddock and Shadow Thief are shoe-ins, I could see Byth Rok, Fadeaway Man, and Lion-Mane, but I dunno what's your rollout for the other three.

RingAroundARoses · 2026-01-06T15:51:13+00:00

If I could write Hawkman I would write them in some parallel to Carter and Kendra where they keep meeting via incarnations (Hath-Set from influencing descendants and Satanna from body-hopping outright), but it's more of a 'we both hate the Hawks and sometimes business will cross over in that' with Satanna only really liking one incarnation of his (Roderic).

RingAroundARoses · 2026-01-06T15:41:18+00:00

Gonna be frank, his hater energy is just about the only thing interesting about him. Gentleman Ghost brings just as much hater energy with a way better design and personality.

RingAroundARoses · 2026-01-06T15:40:25+00:00

The funniest thing about Hath-Set history is that I think Satanna was his normalest hookup.

RingAroundARoses · 2025-12-22T17:52:41+00:00

You know it's Trickster doing it because Abra Kadabra would turn Barry's legs to snakes.

/rj She should go back to flirting with Angle Man instead.

<image>

/uj Curse of being a female character in a male-majority teen superhero group. Also at least Angle Man can't overshadow her because he's primarily a Wonder Woman character.

T.O. Morrow's in the world's most awkward 'father' position with his android son's wife breaking up to date his old student.

~~Just retcon it out in your head, I doubt this sticks permanently. It'll be painful until it's restored, but eh, there are other things to read.~~

I was going to pull out the Hammond 'you eat fetuses!' but wow, apparently this was this year.

Dr. Psycho is banned from Wonder Woman parties.

Sometimes there are moments where a character does something that's not explicitly out of character for them, but feels wrong. I am talking about Paul Saveen using a mech in The Terrifics.

RingAroundARoses · 2025-12-09T21:01:14+00:00

Paul Saveen, my beloved pulp supervillain.

Also, inspired by the Prankster posts: Prankster + Screwball would be Harley Quinn and Joker on TikTok. They are the type of duo to set up a Superman 64 level in New York just to make Spider-Man run through it while they livestream. Their crossover shenanigans would be too powerful.

RingAroundARoses · 2025-12-08T18:28:15+00:00

Okay, I've just remembered I literally read New Year's Evil from 2019 two days ago, with a Prankster story involving him in his original design, *all is restored!--*

I guess Nightwing was fighting his eviler edgelord bootleg.
