But the Flash…he’ll talk to you. Give you a chance.

Bug-Eyed Bandit's favourite musical artists are the Beatles, Adam Ant, and Iron Butterfly. He claims that all of this is a complete coincidence.

Nothing can truly contain the power of THE SWORD OF THE MIGHTY ATOM

Skipping ahead to Ryan Choi because I just like him more, but Ray’s Sword era is interesting to me because it was very much DC trying to chase trends while having a character they didn’t really know what to do with. I don’t know what it is, but it seems like every superhero with some kind of shrinking power (or anything that’s not lasers, punching good, or having a bunch of money) is a target for derision, despite having a longer shelf life than most of the people making fun of them. I think part of it is the nature of the American market versus say, Manga, where stuff like One Piece and BNHA utilize weird, off-beat powersets to great effect. But, I digress.

As far as headverse meta, got a couple extras in here with Bug-Eyed Bandit and Chronos. Bug-Eyed is Brie Larvan in the Bertram Larvan costume and Chronos is the David Clinton version, though I want to work in Mick Rory down the line. Heatwave as a time traveler is immensely funny to me for completely inexplicable reasons.

Ryan himself is pretty in line with the Rebirth era take: one of Ray Palmer’s grad students who picks up his equipment and becomes a superhero. The timeline’s a little different, so his peers are Doris Zuel, Adam Cray, and child prodigy Karen Beecher. From a story perspective, I’m inclined to even condense all their origins down to “same lab accident” or something, but I don’t want to flatten the whole universe out too much. I want to give Doris a connection to Golden Age Giganta eventually.

The lightsaber was Ryan’s own invention and Ray was quite excited about it, to say the least. His costume is supposed to look a little cobbled together, being Ray’s shrinking rig amended with Ryan’s own additions and whatever protective gear he could throw together. Originally I had his eyes visible, but I kinda dig the effect of the opaque goggles, so went with that.

365 DC Comics Paper Cut-Out Villains - One Villain, Every Day, All Year…

February 21st - The Bug-Eyed Bandit

Bertram Larvan was a gifted inventor, roboticist and entomologist.  He created a series of bug-like robots as well as a device that enabled him to telepathically control insects. He used these gadgets to commit crimes, earning the humorous nom de guerre of ‘The Bug-Eyed Bandit.’  The Bandit would have numerous confrontation with the size-altering hero known as The Atom (Ray Palmer).  Following Larvan’s death during the first Crisis, his son has taken up the mantle as the new Bug-Eyed Bandit and joined the Secret Society of Super Villains.  A version of the character has featured in episodes of The Flash and Arrow, portrayed by actress Emily Kinney. The villain first appeared in the pages of the pages of The Atom #26 (1966).

She is so cute and I can't handle it.

The Flash has recently cast the role of the Bug Eyed Bandit for their next Flash/Arrow crossover. However, rather than making the character a male like the comics, they've made the villian a female (Brie Larvan instead of Bertram Larvan). With this recent casting news, I was curious if your no genderbent rule would also apply to the Bug Eyed Bandit?

Since there is (or will be) a version of the Bug Eyed Bandit as a female, she’s fair game to play here at Atlas as a female.
