Aquaman Villains - Scavenger

Still on that Aquaman shit.

Aquaman's rogues, to me, are one of the most underappreciated in comics, and that needs to change. He's got a great set of villains that really cover a diverse range of villainy. I spent a couple days really trying to decide which villain to start with, and settled on my boy Peter Mortimer.

I think its interesting how, after Black Manta and Ocean Master, there's a HUGE drop off for Aquaman villain popularity/usage in stories. Scavenger is probably like number 3 or 4 in Aquaman's rogues, but he still barely ever shows up. I loved that he was brought back in the New 52/rebirth era. And I especially love his redesign. It was so classic supervillain looking, the colors were great, and the character designer (I think it was Paul Pelletier who was responsible for his new look but don't quote me on it) really pulled some visual cues from his classic look which I appreciate so much! Little characters like this often get no respect when it comes to their past, but the saw tooth helmet window has become HIS look and I love that he can have that! His second mech suit look was fine, and still harkened back to his OG design, but the blue and purple dive suit was just too good. I really didn't do any redesigning from this first New 52 look because I love it so much, it works so well as an iconic look, and it will likely go down as his definitive look till the end of time! But who knows, maybe someone else will come along and one up it, which I can always hope for.

Also I love his little cameo in what I believe was Forever Evil where he was joining the new Injustice League. Someone out there has a soft spot for Scavenger, and I appreciate you.

Aquaman Villain Movie Ideas, Part XII: Scavenger

Peter Mortimer AKA Scavenger is another of the "human with a special suit that wants something in the sea to do with Atlantis" that fights Aquaman. He also has a bit of a whiplash arc, where in the Aquaman comics he went through a little redemption and ended up helping Aquaman, then a Hawkman comic comes along and wipes that all away to make him a pedo. We can pick and choose what we keep of that.

Origin Movie: He's in that same category of others like Eel or Piranha Man, where you find yourself asking, why not just use Black Manta? That said, he is specifically seeking ancient relics, so there is at least a major distinction there.

Sequel Movie: He can follow Black Manta, and in that regard, he might be a good setup for an Indiana Jones-style adventure.

Finale Movie: Depending on what the treasure he's seeking is, makes him a possible villain to include in a finale movie. The climax might be hijacked by a bigger bad, but at least there's something.

Supporting Villain: He could easily be part of a crew led by Black Manta. That's a very easy thing to do.

Here are my rankings of them:

Supporting Villain

Sequel Movie: Indiana Jones-style movie starring Jackson Hyde, maybe?

Origin Movie: Eh.

Finale Movie: Technically, he'd end up being second fiddle with that.

What do you think? Who should I cover next?

Geraldine McEwan in John Mortimer's play 'Mill Hill', an episode of BBC's Thirty-Minute Theatre from 1972.

The play also stars Peter Cook and it's hilarious - it made my mother choke on her hot water and lemon. Someone uploaded it to YouTube so check it out.

Sunset Kids

Sure, there should be a few more kids in the picture. But not everyone survived the disaster. The poses were intended for a conversation scene. When I was done with that, I thought I'd put them all next to each other and take a class photo. Maybe I'll edit it later and put it in the Poster Loader. That way the kids might have a memory for later 🙂

The Criterion cover for Arsenic and Old Lace is pretty iconic now with the little puppets and the purple backdrop and the artist, F. Ron Miller even did an article about how he workshopped the idea with Criterion’s art director, Eric Skillman. You can find the article right here:

The Prince himself had, at the very least, allowed his own name to head the request for measures against Lollardy in 1406; yet a hostile or uneasy observer might find circumstantial reasons for wondering if his commitment to orthodoxy was unshakeably total. It was to the English Border counties, which the Prince had until recently been actively engaged in defending against the Welsh rebels, that the leading religious dissenters had fled in the wake of Archbishop Courtenay's assault on their beliefs; and it was there, in regions far from archiepiscopal surveillance, that they had continued to spread their message. Several of the Border gentry, of whom Sir John Oldcastle was the best-known example, appear to have been at least discreetly sympathetic towards the proscribed opinions, and it was to such subordinates that the Prince had entrusted the defence of the West and the restoration of English dominance in the Principality. There was no hint that his trust in these men was diminished by their unorthodox inclinations, and some suggestion that these did not debar them from becoming his personal friends. In any case, even if it is accepted that the Prince was totally orthodox, it was possible that he might take advantage of Arundel's difficulties at Oxford to serve his own ends.
