Forgotten Super Villains: Master Jailer 

I'm honestly not that crazy about either of his names..

How about Prison Master for his name?

@@mr.rogues4145 what about a simpler name, something like the Warden? I mean it goes with the jail theme

Well, you could only do so much with traps and prisons. But he has potential.

They probably based Lock Up on The Master Jailer.

@@Xehanort10 No, Master Jailer made his first appearance nearly 16 years before Lock-up did.

@@supersonicfan7514 Yes. That means Lock-Up could have been based off of Master Jailer.

You forgot the Master Baiter.

Apparently, they already killed him off in Rebirth.. oh well..

You're welcome! If you're gonna read his stories, I recomend his first appearance (Supes 331 & 332) and maybe Supes 393, as it's the only other story to focus on Draper's obsession with Lana. In the other stories he's kinda just your generic super villain.

Thank you for the specific recommendations! :)

Scott Free Maybe now , but I think for near 30 years he was the artist most people associated with Superman. When Jack Kirby worked on Dc and drew Superman , his art was redrawn so it could be similar to Swan s. By the tine John Byrne took as the main artist on Superman , toys and merchandise still had Swan s art.

A way to make him sound like he's the Jigsaw Killer

And who said they were in their right mind?

Clever...

Or Folsom prison -Johnny Cash

@@sharkfinbite no it's elvis

He could not find a partner, he used a wooden chair!

@@mariovazquez4436 It's either way, "Jailhouse Rock" by Elvis Presley or "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash, you know what I'm talking about?

He is dead

... for now! BUM BUM BUUUMMM!!!

They killed him off already?? :O The fools!

This is comics, death is generaly just a phase.

Dang it, *Major-Spoiler* strikes again (>_< )

That happened in one of that Return of Superman issue, when Deathtrap imprisons Superman and Mistermiracle in a circular boom-tube

He did actually face Mr Miracle, alongside Supes, in the mid 90s, during his "Death-Trap" days.

I may do that in the future, indeed.

I'm not very excited about it.. I'm tired of Joker and want to see other villains, and yeah, we've already gotten grounded Jokers in movies - like Ledger, and Leto too, was grounded.

@@mr.rogues4145 I'm not sure Joaquin Phoenix would live up to the legacy, in fact, Gary Busey, Brad Dourif, or even Michael Glommerson would be more qualified for the role

Yeah, it seems like the writers have just decided that certain villains are "lame", or "low-stakes", as you put it - for no REAL reason. The fans might have something to do with it too, I mean they can be pretty cruel - I remember reading many fan letters in the letter pages of old Batman and 'tec issues, saying that Pengers is a crap villain who should just be dropped. Riddler too. Sheesh... Oh, and btw, apparently Jailer is already dead in Rebirth... dang...

Seriously? Already?! This is exactly why I've stopped caring about the Suicide Squad; it was once a book where the villains, for once, got to let their unique personalities shine through, usually without superhero interference, and while a few would die along the way, the survivors would go on to become fan-favourites. Now, it just feels like a place to shill out C/D-Listers to kill off while Harley, Floyd, Boomer and one or two others walk through it all with no interesting character development. Yeah, the vocal minority of fans are a big problem. At the end of the day, most readers don't care that much about which villains show up, how they act, why they act that way and whether or not they die at the end, and while I disagree with that viewpoint, I can still understand it; the villain is just one piece of a story, and the hero should come first in terms of how they're portrayed. It's the people who decry certain villains as "lame" and actively whine when writers try to use them and develop them that annoy me. They have the right to have and express their views on these characters of course, no matter how much I disagree with them, but opposing the idea of actually fleshing them out and making them interesting just really bothers me. For example; Bane in Secret Six. I've warmed up to Bane a lot in the past year or so, but my opening up to the character started with this series. Like the Squad, it dedicated itself to fleshing out old villains, both on and off the team (I still love how Gail used King Shark in it for how unapologetic it is in its goofiness), and I see Bane as one of the bigger successes from the book. Before this point, from what I can tell at least, Bane became a joke; a big, tough guy pumped up with Venom (despite swearing off it...nice continuity there DC!) for the heroes to beat up, and every defeat made him seem less and less intelligent and cunning like his debut story intended him to be. Then Gail comes in and shows us exactly the type of guy someone like the classic Bane actually would be like...even some of the more awkward things, like having a no idea how romance works due to his life in isolation. It's that humanisation that I love...and what some other people hated. If they dislike the characterisation itself that's fine, but some seemed to hate even attempting to add depth and humanity to Bane, which I simply don't understand. Speaking of Gail though, that brings me to an important point; Geoff Johns, Gail Simone, Tom King, Scott Snyder, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, Mark Waid; all these people are basically just Promoted Fans of comics, each with their own view as to how each character should act and behave (for example, Johns has Wonder Woman be a generic Violent Amazon Warrior while Gail writes her to be an All-Loving, Caring Idealist who believes in Truth and Redemption; both very different versions of the same person, both written within the same general time period). Consistency is nearly impossible now because of this, and divides the fans even further. I personally like seeing how all these different people view these characters, but am also unafraid to call out characterisation that opposes the whole point of a character (gun-wielding Batman, Angry Warrior Diana, assh*le Superman, etc) while still being respectful to the writing team; sometimes a character simply doesn't click with you (hell, I'll freely admit that I didn't get Ra's Al Ghul at all until just a few months ago, and now that I think I get the character (or at least the less morally bankrupt versions) I like the character so much more) and that's fine. Honestly, at the end of the day all the current staff of fans running both DC and Marvel will be replaced with generation who could just as easily nullify all the bullsh*t they don't like, and the generation afterwards could retcon that nullifying factor out of existence, and so on. Hell, some day the Head of DC could be one of those fans whose burned out of Batman and makes him a Bit-Player in the DCU for a decade - it seems unthinkable now, but I'm sure that my fellow Titans fans thought the same of the team in 2003, with decades of publishing history, a cartoon on the horizon and being having a huge roster of heroes that kept on growing...right before that team was torn apart, killed off in droves across eight years, was retconned out of existence, came back in a sh*t book in the New 52, got hit with more retcons and now seems to just be...there. I've seen long-time Titans fans become more and more cynical as time passes, and I don't blame them at all. Young Justice fans faced the same, and unlike the Titans they don't even have their team back yet. All this happened because Dan DiDio doesn't like Legacy Characters, and wanted to focus on the "classic originals", even though Barry & Hal, two of DiDio's biggest revivals, were Legacy Heroes themselves. This is the price of having fans become writers; they're blinded by their love of certain characters to just move forward and develop their replacements further, and in the process cripple the universe they love so much. From what I've gathered, you're not the biggest fan of superhero legacies like Dan DiDio, but I personally find them to be one of the best parts about the DCU; it makes everything feel more meaningful, more important in the grand scheme of things, to have heroes pass on, retire or even just semi-retire and for it to stick. I'm sick of meaningless deaths and revivals. If you want to write, say, a story about one of the dead JSA members, retcon it into before their death, rather than reviving them for that one idea before killing them off again a few years later. Even deaths that I personally hate (Ted Kord, for example) I would've come to accept because Jaime was a great replacement with a fun personality, a great supporting cast and various interesting superhero connections that allow for plenty of unique stories to be told. Not every replacement's going to be the success that Jaime was, but I think I've made my point clear, and I'm honestly just rambling by this point so I should probably just stop.

I guess it's possible.

Well... according to the DC Wiki, he’s dead now... Yeah, thanks, Suicide. Giving me more and more reasons to hate you. I doubt we’ll see him again for quite a long while, until after the next big reboot (you know it’s coming, we all do).

It's possible.

there was also a mad hatter who fought namor

J M I'll have to check him out

Don't you mean the Brain?

He's more underrated than forgotten if you remember the Disney XD Spider-Man animated series

I like the sound of that!

I might at some point.

Sorry, I don't know about any reprints. Might do Terra Man at some point, yeah.

Mr. Rogues Thanks for the reply. I love the 70 -and early 80 s Superman, I guess is because of nostalgia. There are some great stories there tough.

He is dead. 😭

Mirian Suero De Bisono oh no

Apparently they already killed him...

Mr. Rogues unless issue 47 came out, he wasn’t dead, Satanis dragged him against his will

Haha if only I had the time...

So I hear.. Goddamn it.. :P

I guess so ;)

I know that Green Arrow have one. I think she is call Cupid.

Well, I guess Harley haha..

@@mr.rogues4145 That was the most obvious answer yet it completely slipped my mind.
