KICKMAN

At least none of these interviews ended with throat punches.

Since the title of the chapter is Skuttlebutt, I thought I should add some more skuttlebutting. Skuttlebuttness? Skuttlebuttitude! As an interesting aside, the first time I ever heard the word “skuttlebutt” was in the pages of The Mighty Thor. Skuttlebutt was the name of Beta Ray Bill’s intelligent space ship.

Scandal is hard at work tracking down rumors, interviewing potential leads, and weeding out unreliable testimonies in real time. Also, we have a bevy of new faces.

One of these 5 villains has appeared before in an early chapter, although I did accidentally mix up his name from the beginning to end of the chapter. But, for the other four, I think it’s time for another round of Name That Super-Villain! Although the guy with the blue, flaming hair is obviously one of the “Superior Babies” so maybe he’s already appeared in the battle at the SPA.

5 Kick Points for each best super villain name! Plus you get to create part of the Kick Verse canon. Who knows, your super villain may end up being a recurring character. Now that I think about it, that is how we ended up with Blush in the series. I had asked the Kick audience for a good name for a superhero with the ability to detect embarrassment and someone said “If she’s a female hero Blush would be a good name.” And years later she becomes a major part of Team Kick. A good super villain name might inspire me to base a whole chapter on him/her.
