Crazy is as crazy does
Happy Friday all!
Last night I went and saw PARANORMAL ACTIVITY. I think it was a good movie, but I’m not sure. I am not sure because I was sitting next to the craziest man I’ve ever seen. This man was not just whispering to himself, but screaming to himself. These screams were not just in response to the scary movie we were watching, but seemingly to the movie playing in his head. Some things that emanated from this man’s mouth over the course of the movie were “Chocolate covered titties!” and (to no one in particular) “I don’t even care, I’d take on the whole Air Force Academy!’ There were a few more incidences of crazy throughout the night, but to make a long story short (too late) the man served as inspiration.
This man, who had obviously escaped the nearest mental institution, and who I have now named “The Demon” (when asked to be quiet he made hissing sounds and but up his fingers to act as horns) helped me come up with today’s list. That list is the 10 Bat S#!t craziest characters in comics. Enjoy!

1) The Joker: The gold standard on crazy.

2) Two-Face: Anyone who flips a coin to decide whether or not to kill people qualifies as crazy. And yes, this is two bat-villains in a row. Batman gets all the fun.

3) Legion: This guy has five different personalities, all with a different super-power.

4) Marv: Marv has no compunction about killing and often gets confused and hallucinates. That’s pretty nutty!

5) Johnny C.: A serial killer who hallucinates a whole lot. Yup, that qualifies Johnny for this list!

6) Dr. Destiny: Yeah, sure, he looks like Skeletor, but the man is seriously messed up in the head. Need proof? Go back and read SANDMAN.

7) The Sentry: Another spit personality case. What makes it really scary is that he’s the most powerful being on the planet.

Deadpool: He hallucinates and talks to himself. Actually, Deadpool is fairly similar to my friend from the movies last night!

9) Typhoid Mary: More fun with multiple personalities! One is a hooker, one is a pyro, and one is a pacifist. Fun, fun, fun!

10) Odin Quincannon: He did dirty, dirty things with meat. I know that’s low on the crazy totem pole, but it always gave me the creeps!
So that’s the list folks. Thank you crazy man from the movies last night for the inspiration. Thanks to everyone else for tuning in.
See you all tomorrow!
I thought deadpool had swords for arms and had healing abilities with laserbeam eyes? No?
October 9th, 2009 at 2:57 pmThat is only the movie version. However, the guy who wrote that film could probably be on this list as well.
October 9th, 2009 at 6:54 pmThere were actually five main writers who contributed to Wolverine (according to Filmtracker).
But only two received final credit:
Skip Woods — (Hitman, Swordfish)
David Benioff — (Stay, 25th Hour, the Kite Runner) draft from pitch
I’m betting good ol’ Skip contributed the most to Deadpools laser tazer eyes.
Then again, with Fox President Tom Rothman dipping his hands in every creative aspect of Fox’s slate over the past few years, who knows… http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=303032
