Crappy Comic Book Characters: Arcade
Written by Chris C on October 17th, 2008Meet one of the comic book universe’s crappiest characters…
“Arcade possesses a genius level I.Q. and has a natural aptitude for mechanics, architecture, and applied technology. A brilliant and innovative self-taught designer, Arcade applies his talents to the construction of the amusement park-like complexes of death traps which he calls Murderworlds.”
Obviously Arcade is not a top-notch villain. He was also absent at the evil doers meeting where they discussed how Scooby Doo and the gang repeatedly thwarted bad guys running scary amusement parks.
Not only was there a warning that amusement parks are bad ideas but Arcade also never realized how difficult it is to lure super heroes to Murderworld.
Arcade would eventually be caught and sentenced to jail time. While in San Quentin he worked out a lot and even developed a stand-up routine. You can now find him touring America and being Paul Stanley’s Gene Simmons’ chauffeur under the name Carrot Top.
{Ed note: Wow am I an idiot or what? The guy who pays attention to pop culture and things like reality shows and I mix up Paul Stanley with Gene Simmons. }

If memory serves, I always thought Arcade was Marvel’s answer to The Joker -’cept a lousy one.
Yeah in retrospect I think you’re right. Maybe they were tryin’ to cash in on that Pac man generation …
[*sigh*]
I miss Galactus …

Yikes! Carrot Top was scary enough without the bulging corpuscles. Now if only he could beef up his routine.

I saw him on last comic standing, Carrot top that is not arcade, no wait yes I suppose he is arcade. And was freaked out then when I thought, ‘is carrot top buff’. I guess he got sick of hecklers.
