It's 2 in the morning, and I got the fantastic idea of starting a thread like this. I was going on and one of my weekly avatar changes (it's an illness, I swear) and I stumbled upon a picture of Viking Commando. And I must say, he's quite badass. I thought to myself "I haven't heard of this guy before! I must share this finding with the world!" Hence the idea of this thread. I think it's a nice way to share knowledge of heroes that no one has ever heard of to improve other peoples superhero knowledge, so I'll start it off:

Valoric, aka Viking Commando:




Height: 6'5"
Weight: 240 lbs (109 kg)
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Blond
Alignment: Good
Citizenship: Scandinavian
First Appearance: All-Out War #1

M3T4L V1KING's Quick Bio:
So he's a badass Viking in the 5th century, he fell during battle and a valkyrie came to take him away to the awesome place of Valhalla. Turns out Valoric wasn't dead though and the Valkyrie dropped him through a time warp to 1944... BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Anyways, his wounds healed up over a few weeks or something and killed a bunch of Nazi's because he thought they were Huns... Also funny. The Valkyrie stayed around because Odin ordered her to, so she just waits for him to die. Creepy. And after Valoric's little Nazi massacre, some Yankee major recruited him to the US army and was made into an Icon. He got on Life Magazine and shit apparently. That's pretty badass.

Of course any other posts don't have to be as detailed as this. It's only like this because it's 2 in the morning and I'm bored as hell.

Fifth Cousin to Dr. Doom who is a Dentist

Robert Doom is a Latverian-American, distantly related to Victor von Doom. While a rather successful dentist, Robert felt envious of his cousin's wealth and power. In an attempt to Keep up with Joneses, Doom formed his own super-villain plans. He studied mechanics, robotics and weaponry technology. Then he created his masterpieces,neuro-transcivers. Miniature devices which would allow him to take over the neural system of fellow humans.

He started implanting these devices to the fillings of his wealthiest clients. Spread around New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. In time he would control them and through them their fortunes. Carving his own kingdom and showing up Victor.He had not counted on a client accidentaly damaging his transciver and turning it to a miniature radio receiver.

The client filed a legal suit. The lawyer assigned to the case was Jennifer Walters. Who soon discovered the case went further than malpractice. He had little chance in combat against her. She even bit through his adamantium-laced drill.

Quite the voodoo look if you ask me.

The coolest guy you never heard of before-

Rick Mason: The Agent

Quote:
A highly covert operative only accessible online under the codename "The Agent," Rick Mason was a free-lance agent specializing in data on non-lethal handling of superhumans. His clients included American, British, Japanese, French, and Israeli government agencies, as well as international agencies such as S.H.I.E.L.D. Son of the criminal machinesmith Tinkerer, Rick grew up exposed to the latest technologies and their criminal users. He immersed himself in covert activities, working beside or studying under operatives including Nick Fury, the Cat (Shen Kuei), Teng Yun-Suan, Dennis Nayland and Alexi Vazhin. His solo defeat of the Arcfire Network cemented his status as a major player.

Working for Great Britain, Mason uncovered a plot by the renegades Dog, Monkey, and Horse from the strike team China Force (with assistance from duped agents Silver, Auric, and She-Devil) to overthrow Hong Kong's British regime. Battling Horse, an overmatched Mason prevailed by throwing them both over a twenty story balcony, angling himself into a hotel pool while the Horse apparently fell to his death. Shortly thereafter, Nick Fury asked Mason to intervene in the South American country of Costa Brava, where American backed rebels had been supplanted by super-powered mercenaries. Fury had to oppose the American-backed forces; Mason was his solution. Seeing parallels to Hong Kong, Mason entered Costa Brava and captured two of the five mercenaries- Zapper, a mutant British energy generator, and Noise (Julio Mendoza), a mutant Mexican sound controller. He interrogated, tranquilized and abandoned them in uncharted jungle, miles from civilization. Mason was briefly caught and tortured by Black Metal (a South American high-tech mercenary) before escaping. He then captured the final two superhumans (Quota, an African cyborg, and Stealth, a flying Irish/Argentinean mutant) and used them to lure Black Metal into an ambush in an exploding warehouse. The five eliminated, the rebels reclaimed Costa Brava's capital of San Gabriel, installing their leader, Javier La Brava, as president. Rick learned that a former teacher, Chinese geomancer Teng Yun-Suan, was the power behind the takeover attempts. Mason was forced to kill Teng.
The Corporation once kidnapped Rick to coerce his father to work for them. The Tinkerer recruited Luke Cage and Dakota North to rescue Rick, but Mason escaped his captors using a light bulb filament as a lock pick, and helped the pair defeat the Corporation. Mason is also believed to have been a victim of a Carrion Plague outbreak before being cured by S.H.I.E.L.D. Rick Mason is currently believed dead, assassinated by an unnamed super-villain; with Mason's apparent death, his identity as the Agent became public knowledge. Of course he was not really dead, just deep undercover. He recently helped Carol Danvers (Ms. Marvel foil a plot that would have gotten a shitload of people killed- we're talking cute kids and puppies and stuff, not like the jackass next door making noise all the time.

Rick Mason is a super badass that needs a movie/figure/etc.
Nathan Fillion will play Rick Mason in the upcoming movie I just made up.

Me and my Bro were talking, and we think Gordon Ramsey should be Constantine in the next movie.

It took me a while to find his name, but I always liked a Batman comics character called Tommy Carma.

His is a dark story, first appearing in Batman Vol. 1 #402-#403 (Dec. 1986-Jan. 1987).

His back-story is a lot like The Punisher's, but Tommy was a cop in Gotham and always idolized Batman, so when he "snaps," he escapes from Arkham, dons the cowl and opens a can of whoop-ass on Gotham City while he delusionally believes he is fighting crime as Batman.



Tommy had issues, but showed that just about anybody could moonlight as a super hero, while also speaking to the real Batman's limits/honor code.

I probably also like him b/c this was my first comic book.
