First appearance of a whole slew of villains!
I probably should have included a few inmates from the battle at the SPA, but all of these lesser known villains need some camera time, too. All those SPA guys participating in the battle Vs Superior Man, were probably all A-list villains. All these scrubs hang out at bars because they didn’t get a whole neighborhood assigned to them. Say hello to the C-listers.
So let’s play a round of “Name the C-List Villains in This Scene!” Except for Comrade Ukraine, he’s got a name already. And I think everyone knew that Hierophant was about to show up if you read all the comments from last week. That leaves seven newbies appearing for the first time in the pages of Kickman. Best names earn some extra Kick Points! Maybe a few VillCoins…
Also, be sure to buy a copy of Java Jaguar, Book One: Brewed Awakening. Available in paperback from Amazon…. HERE!
Woman who likes exposing her vitals can be Red ‘Riff, Grey suit with lasers can be Glayzer, tinfoil hat guy can be Tinfoil Hat, Woman in the grey suit can be Sasha (it’s her real name she hasn’t signed a copyright yet), guy with 4 eyes can be Cross Eye, Snake lady can be Medusaclops, and red guy can be Devil Fairy.
I thought the guy in the last panel was called Mr. 2nd Amendment because he has the right to bear arms? Or is his right arm normal? In which case he has left bear arms?
The tall blonde is probably Leather Chick and her air hockey opponent is Laser Schtick. They may be an item because why else would a tall girl like her be playing air hockey with a shrimp? The guy with the bullet-shaped hat is DumDum Doohan, to avoid copyright problems. And his conversationalist is the dreaded Sarcasm Lass. The guy with the supernumerary oculars is John Foresight who’s a bachelor father raising three angels on his own. The blindfolded girl with snakes on the brain is Lady Shampoo. And the little guy with the fly wings and someone’s olive on a stick is Martini Bug (not Bug Martini, that’s a different guy in a different strip.
How about… Bank Shot for the laser eye guy. Since he’s using some kind of non-igniting beam he can push things around at range. Toss an explosive in the air and shoot it a floor or so higher, bounce a beam off a strut and hit a hero. Sort of like that X-men dude but with more tactical options.
Panel 1, left: Ruby Brava. Panel 1, second left: Crimson Fireeyes. Comrade Ukraine already has a name. Panel 2 Left: Shellshocker. Panel 2 Right: No idea on the powers and not much showing of her. Panel 3 left centre: Second Sights. Panel 4 left front: Size-no-Evil. Panel 3 right: Gorgana Medusabite. Panel 5: Maybe we can call him Hierophant or something. 😛
Panel 3 left centre: Second Sights should read Panel 4, sorry.
Damn it. No edit button and I got the panels wrong. My entry revised with corrections:

First Panel: left – Red Line, second left – The Ray (his name is also Ray, but everyone in the neighborhood pretends not to know who he is, since his ‘capers’ don’t do much harm, and the neighborhood cats love him and it’s mutual)
Second Panel: Brawn Von Braun and his sister Frau Frucht (Madame Fear)
Fourth Panel: Mid left – Splitview (my headcanon is that he can use his second set of eyes to see a couple seconds in the future), mid right – Granite Gorgon (previously known by her original crew as the Scaly Sculptor, but since the villain city takeover, she has gotten sick and tired of nearly everyone mocking her with an ‘ssss’ sound saying her name) and bottom left is the Demonfly
The guy with the cone head- Stylus!
…Foursight for the four-eye guy.
From left to right: Red Chick, Scopes, The Rivet, Grey Chick, Marduk, The Pit Fiend, and Slitherlocks.
Comrade Ukraine? As a villain? Srsly?
Oh, definitely. He committed war crimes in WW2.
Only if you believe Vladimir! Suspect the reality is more “complex”. Think in terms of “Hitler and Stalin. Who wants you less dead?”
Just glad I didn’t have to make that choice…
“I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are good people and bad people. You’re wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.”
Just notice on the VNN screen that Lana has here shirt, and based on the cropped image possibly more, off.
Can’t be the first to notice.
The Gorgonesque lady in panel 4 might be Stheno (her sister Euryalle gets better press, so she hangs out in more impressive surroundings).
