Look out!  He’s going to start shooting paste.  Out of his pot.  Oh, that Pete.

June 23, 2014: Top 10 Worst Supervillain Names!9. Crazy Quilt

Not to be confused with The Master Duvet.  Presumably, grandma helped him with his costume.

Winner of Mrs. Haversham’s grade 2 Name A Supervillain contest.

June 23, 2014: Top 10 Worst Supervillain Names!6. Stilt Man

Not particularly strong or fast or agile or deceptive.  But his creepy window-peeping range is incredible.  Eat your heart out, Galactus.

5. Forearm

Because he’s got four arms.  Get it?

June 23, 2014: Top 10 Worst Supervillain Names!4. Egg Fu

June 23, 2014: Top 10 Worst Supervillain Names!3. Angar the Screamer

He eventually hooked up with fellow questionably-named supervillain Screaming Mimi.  They were destined to be together 💝

June 23, 2014: Top 10 Worst Supervillain Names!1. The Fiddler

What, exactly, does he fiddle – ?  Oh.  Oh!  His violin!  Which, I suppose, he also hits people with if they’re immune to his musical charm.

  1. Paste Pot Pete? Really? Thanks for the laughs tonight.

    I finished “White Fire” and loved it! Rene Auberjonois’s voice is like honey. If you ever need an actor to read one of your novels for an audiobook recording, call Rene.

    Thanks for getting me back into Pendergast. I can’t wait for the next book but who knows how long that will be…. 🙁

    Did you finish your script?

  2. @Das: I may have to start using that expression. Also, “He gave all new meaning to the phrase, ‘May the wind be at your back.'”

    Did you know that Paste Pot Pete was renamed “Trapster” later? Still sucks.

    I’ve started to hesitate calling things the “worst ever”, because just when I do, something pops up to prove me wrong.

    Unfortunately.

  3. @Tam Dixon: Where did you find the audiobook of White Fire? I’ve been looking and haven’t been able to find it!

    A actually thought that “Forearm” was quite a clever name. Someone certainly put some more thought into it that the other names. Not a lot more thought, but some.

  4. You really have a list of the most obscure villains/super heroes ever. Most of them are just plain bizarre. You sure you didn

  5. These villains and heroes must have been aimed at “very” young children. When my son was younger he loved “The Power Puff Girls” and one of their villains was a giant head of broccoli. If I remember correctly, they had to eat the giant broccoli to defeat them and save the world. A little brainwashing in our comics/cartoons, it’s the way of the world.

  6. One of my best friends in the whole world just told me she’s losing her battle with cancer. After taking her kidney then part of her colon it’s decided to invade her brain. I hate cancer with a vengeance. I’m leaving for a trip tomorrow and I just want to curl up in bed for a week instead. 🙁

  7. @maggiemayday – “dig the stirrup pants, Fiddler”? Just what exactly is he digging at and stirring up? Huhmmm?

    Another group of lame names. Looking at Stilt Man makes me wish I was Chain Saw Girl!!
