The 6 Wickedest Vertigo Villains

A week or so ago, I was diagnosed with benign positional vertigo, and it sucks. Basically, a bunch of bits and pieces inside my head landed in the wrong part of my inner ear, giving me a bad case of the dizzies. It’s not total vertigo, where the room feels like it’s spinning and I can’t walk straight. I basically just get a wibbly wobbly feeling when I turn my head, making things a bit fuzzy and putting me off balance. And there’s no cure!

Sounds like something a super-villain might do, eh?

I probably shouldn't watch this movie

Thankfully, the doctor was able to put me through a couple maneuvers that shifted the bits and pieces around a little bit. He didn’t fix the problem completely, but he definitely lessened the wobbliness to manageable levels. Now I have to hope it goes away, and I’ve got drugs to dull the headaches or the nausea. I’m surviving.

And since this sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to compare to comic books, I looked up some super-villains who use vertigo-based powers! It’s definitely a super-villain thing. Ugh.

The 6 Best Dinosaur Superheroes

As I embark on my own potential comic book career with Gamer Girl & Vixen (pre-order the graphic novel today!), I’m finding it very interesting how few awesome concepts get turned into superheroes. There are very few sports-themed superheroes, even though sports are pretty much currency here in America. There are very few dog-themed superheroes, despite an overabundance of cat sueprheroes.

And there are very few dinosaur-themed superheroes, even though dinosaurs are awesome!

Yes, this was awesome too

Yes, this was awesome too

We’ve got bat superheroes, spider superheroes, wolverine superheroes, cat super-villains and nearly everything else under the sun. But dinosaurs get a pass. Why is that? For that matter, why aren’t there more dinosaur everythings? Why is there only one popular movie franchise about dinosaurs? Jurassic Park doesn’t own dinosaurs as a concept! They belong to the whole world!

Join me after the jump for a true dinosaur celebration, as I managed to find at least six dinosaur comic book characters!

6 Teen Heroes to Add to Young Justice Season 3

Young Justice is coming back for a third season, which is nothing short of a miracle! Cancelled shows just don’t come back to life a few years later. Fans everywhere are freaking out over the awesome possibilities of a third season. Personally, I wasn’t too keen on the show, but I’m always in favor of good superhero cartoons.

Batman has a ton of sidekicks now

Plus I get to play one of my favorite games: superhero draft! I get to put my extensive knowledge of comic books to good use and pick out a few perfect heroes and villains for a role. Such as, what characters could they add to the third season of Young Justice? The cast is already pretty huge, but adding new characters is exactly what the show is known for, and somehow, they didn’t get to everybody just yet.

Join me after the jump for my picks for new characters to join Young Justice!

My 6 Favorite Spider-Man Villains

I honestly think that Spider-Man has the best Rogues Gallery in comics. Batman may have the Joker and Catwoman, and the X-Men may have Magneto, but nobody does super-villains like Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. He’s got big bads like Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus, but he’s also got a metric ton of medium to minor-sized foes who have been tussling with the wall-crawler for decades.

There's just so many of them!

There’s just so many of them!

I’ve done a list of my favorite Batman villains previously, and this week I’m in the mood to explore some of Spidey’s better bad guys. A lot of them have been brought back from the dead in the pages of Clone Conspiracy, and we’ve finally had it confirmed that the Vulture will likely be the main villain in the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming movie. So this is a pretty good time to take a look at some of my all-time favorite Spider-Man villains!

My 6 Favorite Post-Apocalypses

Welp, that’s finally over and it looks like the world is still in one piece. At least we have that to look forward to for the next four or eight years. And no matter which way you voted or which candidate you supported, odds are someone out there is pretty sure the world is over right now.

So how about a list of apocalypses?

There are all kinds!

There are all kinds!

Surviving in the post-apocalypse is a very common setting for entertainment. We’ve got movies, cartoons, video games, songs, books, comics, probably some poems. There’s a metric ton of this sort of thing. And seeing as how half the country (if not the world) is in an apocalyptic sort of mood today, I’ve decided to run down my favorites! Join me after the jump!
