Damn onion-cutting ninjas...
modgud
This made me forget I was in user sub. I went to next 5 posts that were crap and had to come back to upvite
gmodfanatic1
My absolute favorite thing about this entire comic idea is that the whole thing was made by a complete nobody, bog-standard human, go him :D
pattyshack
I would read the shit out of this comic series
thisonehasgottowork
Or who work with experimental tech. Otto Octavius helping a disabled child walk while Batroc does rehab with said child
TheVoicesToldMeTo
Very compelling. Thought provoking.
UniversalLeo1
Holy shit I never knew how much I wanted this in my life.
thisonehasgottowork
Course if you think about it, there are actually quite a few villains in the Marvel and DC universe who are doctors in some field of science
brinkington
Congratulations. You figured out how to make Tumblr's stupid comment threading even less readable.
Knapaholic
Hi. Where do I preorder my copy?
Myothercarisanxwing
Anyone else get the vibe that none of these people would actually be villains?
smashfaceawesome
@josswhedon whatcha think? Can we get a mini series?
TheGhostMinx
I read this all. This is entrancing. I'd watch this movie or series if it came out; read the comics or graphic novels. Anything.
ThatGingerGuyInAHat
There was a Spiderman story that had Vulture stealing money to pay for a childs treatment and care (I think, been a while since I read it)
TheSkeletonWar
That awkward moment when the villian just murders the kid and the entire hospital in a hilarious frenzy.
Jasarg
I don't think villains that are okay with killing people, would care about dying kids. Or being outed by other villains.
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
You'd be surprised. Killing people who are trying to fight you is different than killing kids. Codes of honor can be curiously contrasting
Colenelshitpostermcgee
Well shit, killing adults is one thing, kids are another thing completely
Sonicdahedgie
I liked this until it went all dark for no reason
rabbihimself
I hear you, but one could argue that it went all dark for a very important reason. The ones we idolize/trust can hurt us.
BlueLanternBraxx
No I'm glad it did. Cause as I read I thought "Someone will fuck it up." It adds realism.
Nemrith
Well yeah... Someone always fucks it up. But it helps that in this case that said villain is more or less in 10,000 pieces as a consequence.
BlueLanternBraxx
True. Not many people would risk fucking with the program if it put them at the top of the Villain's own Most Wanted list.
AccountCreatedToUpdogVotes
The going dark isn't what bothered me. The quality took a sharp, downward turn when it went dark. Very cliche.
Ryannihilation
They're all different people, it just got into the hands of an edgier one

korodai
I just don't understand how a Make a Wish-like volunteer is going to hunt down and kill a supervillain by themselves
TheCapnJoe
That was the part where it lost me.
RutherfordNapkinface
What if instead the villains teamed up to make an example of the guy who hurt a kid because they didn't want VW to cross that line?
amayawolf
At the same time I also like the idea of a bunch of villains taking the fall for him so he doesn't get arrested and the program shut down.
thisonehasgottowork
Enter Suicide Squad
RutherfordNapkinface
Virgin 592 mentions Harley quinn, she definitely seems like the kind of villain to get all blood frenzy over a hurt kid. Her "puddin' cups"
RutherfordNapkinface

ArdentSlacker
To be fair though, we are geeks on the internet.
gambanteinn
So are Samuel L. Jackson and Vin Diesel.
ArdentSlacker
Do you look or sound like either of them? :D

"He made bad guys do good and let nothing stand in their way. He protected their identities and tamed their dark side. He is called: the VW"
BookerTheBookkeeperHooker
i wouldnt mind a visit from young magneto ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Nemrith
He is no bug, that's for sure.
rudejohn
Perhaps his greatest achievement: rigging diesel engines to fool emissions tests and sell tens of thousands of bad vehicles to consumers.
jepplax
i imagined the VW as a woman
Jeronimooo
Could be, just replace all the he's for she's and bam! you got yourself a VW of your own accord.
jepplax
i imagined her as a kind of plain (real plain not movie plain) hard worker who's a bit square, hence the determination& self righteous drive
jepplax
and the decent into an act of violence is really interesting. also in my imagination movie/comic there will be no makeover scene :)
spiderqueendemon
I pictured a specific friend I had in college. RA, nursing major, badass. He's a Doctor of Nursing Practice at a children's hospital now.
spiderqueendemon
I'mma send this to him.
jepplax
you should. i love this.
PinnsthePickle
Ok but really, we all know that if one kid was killed or hurt by their idol, it was The Joker.
Arsonists
You caused a chuckle, have a point +1
TygrF
Plot twist: terminal patient; actually villain-assisted suicide.
GuessWho7197
Not nescarrily, even the Joker has standards: https://i.gyazo.com/7080e1bd1b78fa785d21515f3038d2f9.png
PinnsthePickle
True, but I think the Joker would think killing his adoring fan is funny as hell just cuz they wouldn't expect it.
RydWolf
"Hey, kid. Pull my finger..." *pop-tk* *tick* *tick* *tick* *tick* *tick*
PinnsthePickle
Exactly.
jepplax
i dont think the joker would pass the vetting stage
idpassr
Everyone wants a legacy, even if it's only to have their name remembered. Even mobsters would take care of children.
quisqui2001
I'd read the fuck out of this comic. Can you imagine this with The Joker (the first villain) and The Punisher (the anti-hero) in the mix?
AdamofAnorLondo
DC need to pick this up right now and make it into a comic series. Seriously. This comic could be the next Kingdom Come.
lukazaz
I just want more story, Harley kicking MrJ to visit a child
sideofrice
Meh it's alright
AHorticulturistIsJustANerdyGardener
Odd that you say that, because in a small way, this is a sub-plot of Justice - which was written/drawn by the same pair as Kingdom Come.
AHorticulturistIsJustANerdyGardener
2) A very small way - Luthor has villains out doing good work. Poison Ivy cultivating farmland in Africa, that sort of thing, to show how
AHorticulturistIsJustANerdyGardener
3) much the heroes squander their gifts.
Elven91
Is Justice like an opposite version of INJUSTICE? Cause Injustice became shit after second year
AHorticulturistIsJustANerdyGardener
Nah, it's very different. Injustice is more like a (sort of) opposite to Kingdom Come.
Pseudomal
Okay, but seriously? I don't see how anyone could solidly write that. Anti-heroes and anti-villains, sure, but straight up villains?
DustyRoleModel
But onion cutting ninjas is already a thing
VexingEldritch
What is that?
dineshsahu
Just tweeted both marvel and dc
XandarianNovaPrime
DC already kinda has this with Flashes Rogues and Killer Croc. Croc is actually Roy's addiction sponsor and watches over Olive because 1/
XandarianNovaPrime
2/ he was asked to by her mother before she died, he's a real tragic character who watches out for the homeless and the vagrant
XandarianNovaPrime
3/ the Rogues however have a serious code of honor, killing is a big no no, and while I'm not sure if a Make a Wish scenarios has happened
XandarianNovaPrime
4/ they would 100% be on board and actually work with the flash on something like this
12SecondSpidey
Unfortunately it wouldn't happen. Marvel/DC would need to pay every single person in the thread royalties for the idea
onlyveganreplys
holy shit i want more of this
MichelGoussu
Better than 95% of blockbusters scenarios
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
It will take just one kid asking for the Joker to have this thing come screeching to a disturbingly deadly halt.

1 This actually made me tear up, what the hell, it's fantastic. There is amazing potential for either Marvel or DC universe. You could...
nasreal
2 really play around with some more sympathetic villain characters and do the whole villain/anti-hero/anti-villain/hero thing. Furthermore..
nasreal
3 just imagine we get to see like, a little girl who just wants to meet like Doom or something. He shows up to the children's cancer wing...
nasreal
4 after having been hounded relentlessly by the wrangler, and being made to put on like protective gown and booties and mask by a weary...
nasreal
5 veteren nurse who doesn't give a fuck what country he owns....this story is so charming, man.
JordanMC
This needs a hashtag. That's how Twitter works
Tryskel
I don't know much comics and though more of Marvel, with the Punisher for the anti-hero and Magneto as one of the defenders of the Wrangler
ExperimentKraj
Magneto is at once entirely appropriate and entirely inappropriate. He's got the temperament for it...if the kids are mutants.
hooktail419
Playing devils advocate, it would get old. There'd be no conflict, save for the sick children and occasional malfeasance. There's no growth.
doppelfisch
It would be good as a planned-out one-shot graphic novel, perhaps broken up in a three-book arc. But definitely not an on-going series.
WorldEaterGrizzly
This is so good
Jeronimooo
So, so good...
TheRealFireFrenzy
0853 AM i was not ready... HEADCANON: the villain in the first segment is Victor Von Doom
anotherplacetoputstuff
This is gold
Howthetimeflies
This humanity concept may work for cookie cutter good guy turned villain archetypes, but not with a real villain like the joker or carnage.
Colenelshitpostermcgee
Well Carnage was good for a while
FishLords
Fucks sake, tumblr. Leave me something to write.
DougDimmadomeOwnerOfTheDimsdaleDimmadome
I see but one issue with that whole "Villains helping sick kids" thing. http://imgur.com/YKaqaTH

So not every villain is going to be interested in this.
jaminjimmyjames
There's also already a Thunderbolts team.
SexDungeonsandDragons
"Fuck it. Turn people into cancer-free dinosaurs then."
ravnicrasol
"Then I'll just go help Reed and Stark turn them back into cancer-free humans"
MacParth
This is all I could think of while reading it too
ArdentSlacker
That's where he starts. Then he meets a couple cancer-ridden kids who really love dinos too.
SoapyMammaryMasturbation
And then they get to be cancer-ridden dinosaurs instead!
ElConservatore
I wonder how morally questionable it would be to turn adoring fans into dinosaurs with no cancer but also superpowers?
SoapyMammaryMasturbation
I mean, probably not with superpowers. Bad guys don't usually want to turn servants into rivals.
wackywoohoopizzaman
I mean, if they want to become dinosaurs, especially cancer free dinosaurs, why the hell not? I'd love to be a pterodactyl or something
ElConservatore
Well what if said fan is a 10 year old with fatal Leukemia?
MattRexPuns
Are you serious or sarcastic?
ArdentSlacker
Lighthearted and genuine... so... neither?
MattRexPuns
Sarcastic wasn't the best word, I just meant "serious or kidding". It added to the alliteration, though, so I went with it.
jrblast
I believe he's continuing the fan fic
didyoujust
That awkward moment when a villain goes to visit a child put in the hospital by one of their city destroying schemes or something.
aPokal
Happened in Superior Spider Man. Doc Oc (techno)posses Peter's body and tries to be a better hero than him. Later a anti hero tries to steal
MundaneFinality
Was about to say that, glad to see another superior spider-man fan. There are dosens of us!
aPokal
Might even be TWO dozen.
aPokal
one of Doc OC's confiscated medical apparatus, because his thing is brain to machine, from Superwarehouse. Spider-Oc shows up, cause how
aPokal
dare someone steal his stuff. Finds out the Antihero runs an underground clinic for free treatment with non-FDA approved super science.
aPokal
And Doc Ocs thingie was specifically for a little girl with brain injuries from his last scheme, a global heatwave. He offers to operate
aPokal
himself (his doctor is real).
rabbihimself
That'd be a really interesting story, I think. Might be the thing that gets that particular villain to reform.
TheRelevancyOfMyNameIsRelativelyIrrelevant
there's a webcomic 'strong female protagonist' that has some stories in a similar vein as this. Plus its a really good webcomic.

Ah don't be a Sour Kraut. After all, there was this one time that someone was about to fix the Economy in ONE WEEK.

Along that note I think they went the wrong route with this. This is closer to how henchmen are recruited with them being offered the life

GodHelpMeToBeGood
It would be something I would skim. Like what if Hitler, Sadam, Kim jung un, and The Spanish Inquisition did this?!
JohnBluehill
Well, no one would expect it, that's for sure.
virgil592
There are some villains, like Harley Quinn for instance, know how fragile a human life can be. She would be someone I would see doing this.
wackywoohoopizzaman
And the Rogues. I can so see Captain Boomerang, or Captain Cold doing this. They're bad guys, but not BAD guys.
Vinsane
Venom too, was like this for awhile. Marvel should buy the rights. So it doesn't suck.
GodHelpMeToBeGood
This feels like an anime plot. Anime always have gooey centered villains who love on something.
Imaybegotthis
But then there would be someone who wants to meet the Joker and it goes perfectly for 2 hours until he kills them for a laugh.
XandarianNovaPrime
Yup she sure knows how fragile a life is while killing a couple hundred kids with bombs.
browsib
I can see Deadshit doing this too, what with having his own young daughter and all.
browsib
Oh wait, fuck. You know what I mean.
Uragani
I think it's better with the typo.
Nemrith
She would be one of the coordinators in the later stage vetting process I think.
virgil592
Oh no doubt. I can see her going to Mr. Freeze, and having the kid ask him a thousand questions.
madguy50
She is a psychiatrist after all.
TheBrokenWizard
A clinically insane psychologist with little remaining grasp on reality.
cthulhusbestfriend
She has gotten better
TechnicallyRight
might even be the villain wrangler herself.
BucketsOfBearBait
Either that or the first approached villain. In the Karl Kesel Comics this is completely in line with her Chaotic Good nature. 1/2
BucketsOfBearBait
Ex: She was paid to find an escaped little girl and turn her over to this guy, but found out that the guy was going to take her eyes 2/3?
BucketsOfBearBait
and leave her for dead. Not okay for Harley. Paul Dini and Karl Kesel wrote her the best. 5/7 - highly recommend. 3/3
gummibearslayer
I was totally thinking Captain Cold myself.
MrtheOffender
I could totally see Heatwave visiting a kid who got caught in another villans firebomb, and the kid is overjoyed cause he's cool and has >

Did you see the episode of Legends where is talks with his past self?

Is it bad that the CW shows are like, orders of Magnitude better than most DC movies?
