Naming comic characters on sight...

[Torzelbaum]

But now who is this?

 

[Exposition Owl]

I'm not surprised you don't recognize her. When The Great Gatsby entered the public domain a couple of years ago, Vertigo took advantage by commissioning SuperGatsby, a superheroic adaptation/détournement. It didn't sell as well as they'd hoped. The character pictured is Daisy Buchanan, in the guise of her superpowered alter ego Day's Eye.

Who's this, though?

 

[Johnny Unusual]

Brainvent, the man who vents his brain.

But this?

 

[Büge]

Brainvent, the man who vents his brain.

But this?

That would be Cyclownose, the Cyclops whose eye is a Clown Nose.

But who could this be?

 

[Torzelbaum]

I don't know but he sure seems like he would be in a Hostess snack cakes ad.

 

[Johnny Unusual]

That would be Cyclownose, the Cyclops whose eye is a Clown Nose.

But who could this be?

Mr. Bug, who confusingly dresses like a bug but whose crimes all involve Mexican stoplight candy.

What about this one...

 

[Daikaiju]

The Kirby Crackler! He's actually in a lot of comics, but usually off camera providing the cosmic visuals.

This guy? Total mystery.

 

[Purple]

That's Chip! The old Chips Ahoy mascot, throwing cereal we're charitably calling "cookies" everywhere. This guy though? I don't think he does that.

 

[Torzelbaum]

That's Slobber-Knocker. As you can see he slobbers and he uses that chain and hook to knock people around.

But now who is this? And is he a wizard?

 

[Johnny Unusual]

It's Orbless. Can you guess his tragic deficiency as a wizard in regards to what he wants to think about?

What about this one?

 

[Torzelbaum]

That's Shounen Bat / Lil' Slugger from the American adaptation of Paranoia Agent.

Now who is this?

And holy shit! What do they have against penguins?!

It's Orbless. Can you guess his tragic deficiency as a wizard in regards to what he wants to think about?

Hmm... I don't know. I think I'll have to ponder that for a while. (Unlike Orbless - who can't do that. Must be why he is reaching out for one to grab and place in his other hand. I wonder if he's using that string of pearls as a poor substitute.)

 

[Johnny Unusual]

Captain Areola

And he knows what the penguin did.

Next...

 

[Büge]

That's Mona Chrome, who can control metal, but only if it's black or white. No one seems to agree what counts.

How about this... guy?

 

[Torzelbaum]

That sort of looks like Rocky but his costume isn't the same and he doesn't seem to be using the Time Warp. Can anyone else confirm? @Exposition Owl?

big, hip-thrusting fellow?

That’s Rocky! That picture has caught him in the middle of his signature move, the Time Warp.
