OddHat Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Re: Silliy Silver Age Villian One of the best choices the Wild Cards authors made was to allow for this kind of insanity, and then depict semi-believable human reactions when characters were confronted with it.

[/quote'] Maybe not. Still, Wild Cards had Jokers turning into living train cars, giants, dogs, trees. Yog-Sogoth analogs...a Joker-Ace who turns into a giant egg is a step further, but not that big a step. Of course, you then have the insanity of soldiers listening to the Egg's orders.

OddHat Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Re: Silliy Silver Age Villian Bad jokes aside. How about a write-up of this thing? From http://www.dcuguide.com/who.php?name=eggfu Created by Overview: Egg Fu is a giant Communist egg. He was created by Chinese sleeper agents for Darkseid. He was secretly transporting people to Apokolips. In his first public appearance, he attempted to kill Wonder Woman but was foiled. He later tried to reprogram the Metal Men to say 'Down With America' at a Pro-American Rally, but was stopped. It was recently revealed that Jonni D.C., Continuity Cop, fried him, so that he would not ruin her clean continuity. [Note: This text refers to the pre-Crisis version of this character. Information on the post-Crisis version to follow] From http://www.geocities.com/cheeksilver/wonderwoman.htm That being said, however: at least he wasn't one of themost flagrantly insulting racial stereotypes ever to see print in the comics medium, entire. No, no... for that level of auctorial obnoxiousness, we had to await the publication of WONDER WOMAN #158 (November. 1965; I'm reasonably certain World War Two had ended, by that point), and the coming of: Egg Fu [see cover reproduction, accompanying]. A hundred-foot-tall, egg-shaped "super- computer" created by the Red Chinese, this altogether shameful and wretched character conceptualization spoke in a sing-song caricature of English (e.g.: "So solly, Wonder Woman... but: my unbleakable 'Moustache Tlap' has you in extremery tickrish situation... yes?") So, he's an Evil Egg Supercomputer commissioned by Darkseid? Any other important traits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assault Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Re: Silliy Silver Age Villian I'd be careful with the "commissioned by Darkseid". It just reeks of retcon. Mind you, it does make the character funnier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
