Forgotten Super Villains: Onomatopoeia 

The man is like a hunter, i think he's just not know as a whole in terms of being a hunter in the DC universe because he hunts young not well know vigilantes, he's essentially avoding the creation of new none powered heroes or the weakest of the ones that do have them.

The Baphomet name tho, the worlds greatest detective can't see that a guy with a goats head mask and a famous demons name is not rightous !? Also of note Baphomet is a corruption of the name Muhammad, the Islamic false prophets name pronounced "Mohommet" in certian areas in the old days.

Bro you were exactly thinking the same thing as me.

Superman & Lois changes the character to more resemble something like BB's Shriek

That's not a bad idea

that would be cool asf.

My hero academia has "manga" a character who does exactly that

@@mr_indie_fan name

echoes act 2

I live around seagulls too. I hate them as well. Crap on everything.Make lots of noise too. F'ing birds !!!.

He would have been better for "the batman" movie then the riddler.

@@mr_indie_fan not really. Anarky should’ve been the villain instead of the riddler.

​@@damiantirado9616Hopefully they'll appear in the upcoming sequel film

in fact, apart from his onomotopeia's he NEVER speaks (and thus my surprise when he does speak like...A PERSON as Baphomet).

@@sarafontanini7051 - Nope, he's also said the word "Onomatopoeia" to Virago in his very first appearance.

Imagine you are with your girlfriend. Then you hear "slit". You are now confused and you see a man slitting your girlfriend throat. He is nightmares fuel. When I seen the slit speech bubble that broke me. People judge these concepts to fast. Kevin smith made a movie about a guy turning some into a walrus.

I imagine him saying it in a robotic voice with a modulator Text to Speech.

Maybe if he was like a creepy failed ventriloquist that eventually lost his voice from cancer ( he had a high pitch voiced so he did every thing to deepen his voice even dranked poison mostly smoking cigars ) causing him to develop or create something to give him limited speech

Great idea. Where ‘66 is campy and bright with “POW”, “BLAM”, etc., if they ever DO use character in live action they can flip it and make the interjections dark, menacing, and creepy.

That scene in the Bat cave had the atomic pile from the TV show in the background.

Mysterio is more of Spider-Man’s enemy than Daredevils and Kingpin is now Daredevils main enemy, and no longer Spider-Man’s enemy as much. Pretty much a villain leans on to 1 person as their main enemy typically.

@@chaitanyatanamala1464 kingpin is still very much Spidey’s enemy, just read Nick Spencer’s Amazing Spider-Man run. Sure, he’s not Peter ARCH enemy, but he’s still a thorn in his side. Just like his is with Matt.

@@chaitanyatanamala1464 I don't know, a lot of Spider-Man's enemies work for Fisk including heavy hitters like Dr Octopus, Chameleon, Scorpion, and even Rhino

Mysterio is really more of a strict Spider-Man foe. A better example might be Electro, since he was Daredevil’s first villain and has tried to get revenge on him since. But even then, I’d say Kingpin is the only valid example.

@@leftyknox8296 but of course both Mysterio and Electro are on the Kingpin's payroll

A guy who came up with "Tusk" is sure going to produce some underwhelming stories

@@mysoncrumphaseveryinjury3853 I've never seen Tusk, but I haven't heard great things about it.

And he's going to be responsible for the ruination of the he-man reboot. Joy.

Definitely not as bad as Cacophony in my opinion

Just finished the arc, if you guys think its the worst one you havent read much batman. Tusk wasnt so bad.i cant get more than ten minutes into clerks 3 tho.

No. For Green Arrow.

@@mayotango1317 yes and no. Yes because it could work depending on who is writing for him in the story and no because Ollie already has alot to contend with including being a crappy mentor to speedy/arsenal for not helping him kick his bad habit but hey that's just a theory.

@@demoniod619 but still Green Arrows villain

@@punisherrafi6440 I'd like to think he works better for Batman as he fits best in the realm of Gotham more than Star City. I would also like to point out that we have a bigger unresolved problem that needs fixing from Batman's side and that was as Mr. Rogues stated his fiance's death by onomatopoeia. Furthermore, he was in batman stories just a wee bit more thanks to Kevin Smith more than the one story from green "I am a terrible mentor" arrow.

@Johny Morisson yes, I am aware he started out as such but notice what mr. Rogues stated that he moved away from Ollie and Star City and went straight to Gotham to be Batman's enemy...TWICE! I have the cacophony book and that story spanned a few issues more than the I believe the two issue story that was Green Arrow's. Not mentioning the story when Onomatopoeia comes back to Gotham and kills Bruce's fiance.

He's now in batman caped crusader animated series

But how would that work?

@@spencermalley10 that’s something I’d need to think about haha

@@spencermalley10 - Weeeell, even if our dear Mr Rogues is right when he says that Kevin Smith has stated that Ono wouldn't work on screen, Smith later recanted himself in an interview with Den of Geek: “I’ve figured out a way to do it that is kinda bad-ass and also connects to comics more or less. So instead of just doing the actual sound - which to me, in the real world, would be like the dude from Police Academy making noises with his mouth - he’ll just have little cards. Business cards that have typewritten words of whatever the f---. So instead of him saying ‘blam’, you’d find this card on your desk and turn around and ‘blam’, he’d shoot you and stuff like that. Which I think is a little more chilly, you know, for doing it in live action. “On a comic book page, those big word balloons with a tiny word in it were so f---ing sweet. It looks beautifully graphic, like, at the same time it creates an image of ‘this is weird’. But I don’t know if audibly making noises would ever work in the real world, so I think those cards would be bad-ass, man. So [you read] ‘slit’, and you’re like 'slit?', and then all of a sudden you turn around he cuts your f---ing throat and dude just cocks his head Michael Myers style and watches you go down." “Oh my god, I would love that so much. I’ve not heard from anybody over there, even though I’ve talked about it in the press quite a bit and stuff... I know I’m going back to The Flash, first week of September, to direct episode 7 of season 3. Still haven’t heard anything back from Arrow. You know, I wish, it would be amazing because I would love to write and direct Onomatopoeia in the show... At the moment, anyone over there raises a flag; I’m like ‘please, let me in!’” So, that might have worked... There was another reference to Ono in *Arrow* a couple years later, in the episode "The Emerald Archer" from season 7. In this episode, Team Arrow face off against Chimera (real name Kevin Meltzer, an amalgamation between Kevin Smith and Brad Meltzer). Chimera has the same shtick as Onomatopoeia, as he's hunting non-powered vigilantes for sport, and keeps their masks as trophies. In his lair, he has the masks of heroes like Huntress, Ragman, Wild Dog, Emiko's Green Arrow, etc... Unlike Ono, it seems that Chimera doesn't need to kill his victims to be satisfied, taking their masks seems to be enough. I vividly remember just before the episode came out, how the fandom went berserk in the *Arrow* trailers sections, since we were all convinced that FINALLY Ono was being ported on the small screen! We were looking at every detail on Chimera's exoskeleton, looking for Ono-clues, and some of us thought that the symbol on his chest could be the double Oo from his mask... Sadly he ended up being a simple homage, and not the real deal, but that's ok... Kevin Smith will release *Bellicosity* one day, right? ... right guyz?

I hope so too

Seems kinda odd, but I mean, name a Green Arrow antagonist you can name off the top of your head? Ono has a personal rivalry with Oliver, and in my opinion is criminally underrated. So maybe if our boy Oli gets a film he'll be the main antagonist or one of them. But unfortunately as the video mentioned he probably wouldnt work in any film or TV.

Oh, Smith... you juvenile bast*rd... Well, at least it seems like it isn't canon.... I think...

He onomatopeed himself.

I didn't hear any birds, but it reminded me of something. Great videos, I have been watching a bunch lately. Really good, thank you.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING

"Tick tick tick tick tick creek tick tick tick tick"-onomatopoeia

Arkham: From the patient files of Dr. Jeremiah Arkham, the director of Arkham Asylum. The patient’s real name is unknown, but he is often referred to as “Onomatopoeia.” The patient suffers from psychopathy and obsessive compulsive behavior. He is obsessed with onomatopoeia, and has a compulsion to mimic any sound he hears with said onomatopoeia. He also refuses to speak in anything other than onomatopoeia. Session one. So, Mr. Onomatopoeia, how’re you doing today? (A clock is heard ticking) Ono: Tick. Tock. Arkham: Er, okay. Tell me, why motivated you to kill all those heroes? (The safety of a gun is heard being turned off) Ono: Click. Arkham: What was that? (Onomatopoeia stands up, and a scraping sound is heard as his chair moves) Ono: Scrape. Arkham: W-What’re you doing? (Onomatopoeia pulls out a handgun) Ono: Blam. (He fires the gun into Jeremiah’s arm. He falls backwards screaming in pain, and a thud is heard as he hits the floor.) Ono: Thud. (He walks over to the door and opens it.) Ono: Creek. (He walks outside) Arkham: Guards! Something like that, I imagine? (At least in terms of the script, anyway)

@@legoarkhamiteproductions4869 Yup. It'd go exactly something like this. If Dr. Arkham was still alive. Cool work.

@@deshawnedwards6412 Thanks. It could be updated to fit Hugo Strange, too (maybe I’ll write a second version to fit that later, but for now unless you or someone else talked matters into their own hands you’ll just have to imagine it). I’d imagine Strange would ask more questions on Green Arrow, possibly to compare him to the information he’d already acquired on Batman, since Ono is one of the villains who got closest to killing a non-powered hero on par with the Dark Knight. He’d probably not even bother going into Ono’s motives or past, aside from asking once out of curiosity. After all, Rogues’ Hugo only cared about helping the villains of GOTHAM, not Star City, so why bother with Ono. Maybe he’d even try to use Ono to get to Batman somehow by appealing to Ono’s desire to hunt non-powered heroes. Just some ideas I had. Like I said, maybe I’ll give that version a shot later.

@@legoarkhamiteproductions4869 - Just a small detail; when Onomatopoeia was captured by the Teen Titans, and that Damian/Robin made Djinn wipe his mind out to make him "normal", his new name was *"John Thudd"* and he worked in a public library ^^ I have no idea if Kevin Smith had any say in the name, but John Thudd sounds perfect for Ono, no?

Maybe also make cgi song effects appear every time he makes a sound like the black and white gimmick in sin city

You've just described the DC character "Honor Guest", aka *The Silencer* ^^ In *Arrow* season 7, she's a mercenary (part of the Longbow Hunters) working for Ricardo Diaz to kill the Green Arrow. She can manipulate sound waves and makes everything around her go silent, which is useful when she faces Black Canary for instance...

Which one?

@@daneiltherat2327 I guess the Oliver Queen one. Since that’s the only iteration of Green Arrow I’m familiar with.

Well, yeah he did, but... who didn't? ^^

@@randallflagg3700, Plastic Man villains sadly didn’t, which is very weird since characters like Signal Man, Film Freak, and Mob Boss Gorilla appeared, but you still got a very valid point

Eh, I think that power is almost unnecessary, or at least a bit difficult to explain. Like, where would the gun fire from? Would it be a gun he’s holding, or any guns in the nearby vicinity, or would the bullet just come out of nowhere? And if it’s any of the options mentioned, how does he control it? Does the gun just fire at anything, or can he mentally direct the bullet to his target, and if so how? And how does this power apply to other weapons like knives, swords, bows and arrows, and piano wire? Or what if he wants to do something like send a table or a car flying, what sound does he go for there? Can he mentally control them? And how does accuracy work with these powers? Does he just have to think “hit this” and it works perfectly, or does he really have to focus? I also think it’d be a bit of an unnecessary power. If his powers are to use guns with his mind, why not just have him fire the guns normally to save time on a confusing power? It’d also sort of make him too overpowered, since he could presumably just hit anything he wants to. He could just not even wear a costume and go to a press conference held by non-powered heroes and fire a gun from a distance with no way of anyone stopping him. And giving him weird superpowers sort of takes away from the cool idea of him hunting non-powered heroes. There wouldn’t be much of a challenge, and thus no cool “hunt” aspect. Plus he could probably go after super-powered heroes too. I dunno, MAYBE you could go for this power with the character and still keep him cool, but at present I don’t really see it working out.

@@legoarkhamiteproductions4869 Doesn't inherently need to be a power, he may just have a gun rigged out of sight somewhere that he can control remotely, that kind of thing

Yeah right, when i first this villain i was thinking “oh so when he made a sound that happen like if he said bang he can shoot without weapon right” but when i see that he just have guns and said random things i was like “well that’s pretty disappointing, hope is got a reboot” but i think he’s mask is cool thought

Giving him telephatic powers would make him too OP for GA and Batman. But in that case his gimmick would make more sense like now does.

@@zoltanperei4789 No it wouldn't. I think he should be a reality warper not just a telepath. I was thinking that about The Mime in Doomsday Clock but, they gave him invisible weapons...😒

At least he's going to appear in Batman: Caped Crusader (a brand new Batman animated series that was initially made by HBO Max before Amazon picked it up following Warner Brothers being a shithead and purging properties from it left right and centre)

I suspect that part of the backstory he told Batman in "The Widening Gyre", as "Baphomet" might be true, but twisted in certain key points. That backstory being complete nonsense from A to Z would be kinda weird... we'll need to wait for *Bellicosity* >

Cool, but it seems really OP.

@@mr.rogues4145 There could be weaknesses, overwhelm him with too much noise or not enough noise.

@@mr.rogues4145 That's not really op everything that the original user would be it's connected to this dude's lung capacity. And his reaction timing.

Cause he’s blind?
