Crappy Comic Book Characters: Arcade

Friday, October 17th, 2008

“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. }
