Villain Shame

Tuesday, November 6, 2007

Marvel Walrus. “Marvel” for favorite comics distributor, “Walrus” for favorite Beatles song “I Am The Walrus.” This has been explained before, yes… But I have come across something that makes this title quite sad. A Marvel villain called Walrus .

Walrus Enemy of Spider-Man, he was supposed to have the “proportionate strength, speed, and agility of a walrus.” That’s not really villain-terrifying so much as it is pathetic and disturbing. However, writers felt he was a good enough character to place in at least three issues in the mid-80s.

White Rabbit Walrus even gained himself a partner in crime, The White Rabbit . She was a psycho with a gigantic robotic bunny and a posse of killer bunny rabbits. The evil duo was known as the terrible two. Yikes.

Welcome…
Hopeful future site contents:

What does Marvel Walrus even mean?
The Marvel portion of the name is derived from my favorite comic universe distributor. The Walrus is from The Beatles song “I am the Walrus.” It’s magnificant and will change your being. Don’t ask me what the song is about because honestly, I still don’t know… I can only hope it has some deep philosophical meaning beyond John and Paul got high.
