I'm curious.
I think the Joker would hire me, at first I would be another goon but quickly he would see that I am far more devious and deceptive than all the other, he would take notice of the mean pranks and jokes I pull on all of them (especially when I kill them) and feel that I have a lot of potential
I think Riddler, Two-Face, and Penguin are the trickiest villains to figure out in terms of their hires.
>>86779828
Joker hires idiots or nutjobs.
>>86780032
Darn it, replying anyways.
>>86780078
Would the Riddler hire guys who speak in code? I feel like that would make it a pain to work with any of his gang. Two-Face would hire schizophrenics though.
>>86780032
Good try, but my mother doesn't dies tonight
>>86780032
back where you belong, /b/tard
>>86780032
Well that's kinda twisted.
>>86779828
Frankly, I always wondered why heroes don't have goons. Surely there are people who want to help out heroes. Like there's really no reason why Ted Kord doesn't hire some reputable mercs, or why Diana doesn't have a compliment of Amazon bodyguards with her at all times.
>>86780513
We don't care about bad guy's goons until they get their ass kicked, but good guys should have some personality and character development since the cape comics are about them. Writing about goons and writing them right would complicate the story and would take away time from main characters.

What villain comes to your mind when you hear each of these types/synonyms for their employed help
Mook
Goon
Henchman
Toady
Muscle
Underling
Lackey
Minion
Flunky
Stooge
Heavy
>>86780032
Fuck you
>>86780574
But it would prove an interesting challenge to a skilled writer.
>>86780513
Superior Spider-Man had goons.
>>86780574
>Writing about goons and writing them right would complicate the story and would take away time from main characters.
Not necessarily. The main characters are important of course, but a strong supporting cast makes the conflict all the more meaningful. Hence the goons, who would be nice to have as developed characters, as comics lean more towards being more about pure action.
>>86780032
why
>>86780612
Stooge - Joker
Muscle - Two-Face
Underling - Penguin
Heavy - Ventriloquist
Lackey - Mad Hatter
Flunky - Riddler
Toady - Clock King
Mook - Harley Quinn
Henchman - Poison Ivy

Well, yes.
Actually I like the Wonder Woman idea of having some people to help her. Writers could try to portray her as a compentent and charismatic leader.
However, a lot of cape comics are about single characters having personal crusades and quests so being in charge of a large group wouldn't fit in their stories.
Some other characters would fit fine though, like Captain America, Miss Marvel, WW.
I can't think other names.
>>86780739
They could still hire temporary assistance to back them up in emergency situations.
>>86780739
>Actually I like the Wonder Woman idea of having some people to help her. Writers could try to portray her as a compentent and charismatic leader.
Plus, considering she's both ambassador AND heir to the throne, it really just makes sense to have someone there to guard her flank, y'know?
>Captain America, Miss Marvel
Both are soldiers after all. Steve is usually working for the government in some capacity, so a special task force(Howling Commandos revival perhaps) wouldn't be out of order. And Carol gathering up some of her Air Force buddies to form a team is what Carol Corps frankly SHOULD have been.
>>86781169
it would be a good idea for the movies, giving them more amazons to throw at other projects, like having a donna troy wonder-girl for teen titans whose origin isnt a fucking clusterfuck

they all hire one big dumb good and one short skinny 40's gangsta talking goon and then dress them like their gimmick and give them gimmick names. if you're lucky you will find goons that already have gimmick names
>>86780032
Ass
>>86780032
Shoo.
>>86780612
Mook- felix the cat
Goon- a cartoon clown
Henchman- henchmen have those little black eyemasks and red and white striped shirts and have big upper torsos and work for roger rabbit or the Joker
Toady- Princess Peach
Muscle- like henchman only a black and white shirt or any shirtless Nintendo (original not 65 or gamegirl) character.
Underling- underdog
Lackey- pebbles and bam bam's baby... looks like pebbles but with white hair and a club Jam Jam
Minion- Blade the black vampire
Flunky- he works for the Muscle from above
Stooge- popeye
Heavy- any girl with nice lips

Deadpool has the Mercs for Money.
>>86784346
superior spiderman had a lot of goons
>>86784346
Wait are they slowly bringing back nextwave or is it just glimpses of what could be just to further despair us with current state ?
>>86784579
Machine Man is in Deadpool & the Mercs for Money.
Monica is in The Ultimates.
Elsa is in A-Force.
The Captain was in Nova.
All that's needed is Boom-Boom and Dirk.
>>86780739
Heroes could form secret organizations of support personnel that essentially act as on-call help. They arrive to assist the heroes when needed.
>>86780513
Isn't SHIELD pretty much that ?
>>86780032
Cunt.
>>86785196
Personally, if I was a hero, I'd rather have tight PMC-style organizations that answered to their employers.
I'd be wary of massive organizations with huge bureaucracies.
>>86780032
>>86785196
Not really. SHIELD isn't really about supporting heroes. They have their own capes, but they don't really help them.
>>86785529
With how common superheroes are, you'd think there'd be a market for PMCs to cater to them, offering non-lethal weaponry and tactics, as well as guaranteeing troops who are in it to fight the good fight.
>>86786470
Nice idea. But sadly I think comic book writers are probably too conservative to really try something this out-of-the-box.
>>86780078
Two Face hires people with gambling addictions.
>>86780032
I mean, why
>>86787224
Once he hired twins (in his debut "B:TAS" episode) who he prosecuted as DA.
It's strongly implied they were killed by Rupert Thorne's men (they're propped up against the door, then both drop down. We never see them again).
Shame really. I liked them as minions.
>>86787354
The amusing irony is that (if they were still alive or conscious), if Batman had barged in when Two-Face was under attack by Thorne, they would have found themselves temporarily on the same side as him (since Batman is protecting their boss from Thorne).

Penguin is the biggest crime boss on the East Coast, everyone wants to join his empire.
Riddler probably employs people who are known rats or who can't get hired somewhere else because of their reputation. People who are willing to work for far less.
I imagine Penguin doesn't do too many bank heists and schemes like that, he's more of a trader/broker/smuggler, so people who want to get down and dirty and get some cash quick will join with folks like Two-Face who do that kind of thing. I doubt people who become themed goons for Joker, Mad Hatter, and the like are there for long term employment.
>>86780513
>reputable
>mercs
Pick one.
Also Wonder Woman is about as many times more powerful than an Amazon as Superman is than a "peak human", so she doesn't really need bodyguards. She has Artemis, Io, and Philipus that often assist her, anyway.

Why is this so much effective here than in social media? I remember that people on facebook got over this meme like years ago. Here I feel forced to reply.
