For Your Consideration
Inspired by Tindomiel and the other FB’s that created THIS AMAZINGLY AWESOME VIDEO (read the story and watch it NOW!), I’ve decided the HE crew should formally apply to The Evil League of Evil. Here’s hoping we’ve made the Bad Horse gleeful.
Feel free to use the comments to fill in the 3 arch villains backstories, powers, sidekicks, nemesis… nemesies… you get the idea.
Tags: apple, bad horse, dr. horrible's sing-a-long blog, gay, lucha libre, mac, super heroes, the evil league of evil

This comic is made of WIN! Nice work!
ETA-LOVE the "muttonchops" on Josh!
October 13th, 2008 at 4:37 am
BRILLIANT!
I would have gone with Josh as "the Homosexual Agenda" but its been done
October 13th, 2008 at 5:45 am
You have won the internest, sir! In perpetuity.
Apple-shaped forcewaves from the Macromancer's hand, Bear Arms' subtle weaponry, the catmask, "kthxdie" – it's all win.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:46 am
"Bear Arms" works on multiple levels, though. The best name of the three.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:50 am
Total. genius.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:06 am
Originally it was "Bear Goggles" but I couldnt get much mileage out of that.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:10 am
Bear Arms and Rainbow Grizzly have never been seen in the same place at the same time. Coincidence?
October 13th, 2008 at 5:19 am
What dark and evil things has the Macromancer seen with those haunted eyes? Mac clones (again)? Steve Jobs' medical charts? Or–god know–Woz…nude!
The horror. The horror.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:21 am
Oh god, Eli as a luchador is such wonderful racism. This more than makes up for the lack thereof in the new podcast format.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:29 am
Another winner. Would Bear Arms have a sidekick the Cub Foot?
…sorry.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:34 am
And the HRC tattoo rocks.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:40 am
LOLuchador – Can only speak in LOLcat after having seen his parents murdered by feral cats on a youtube video captioned 'Deathcats are in your homestead, killing your parentals'. Cheeseburgerz have the 'Popeye effect' on him…
Macromancer – Steve Jobs and Dr. Orpheus made a baby…
Bear Arms – Raised on the mean streets by Boxcar pete…
October 13th, 2008 at 5:50 am
That sounds like an affliction that would have been cured in the 40's.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:52 am
No, his sidekick would be Twinkie the Kid.
October 13th, 2008 at 8:39 am
Captain Anachronism! His coatpockets are constantly picking up objects from different dimensions. He'd be the chief opposition to Kid Kosmic in KK's solo miniseries. Due to the resulting money problems from his battle with The Recluse, however, Cap'n A would mostly antagonize Kid Kosmic at the Radioshack the latter works at, often trying to return items from other dimensions.

In an alternate universe somewhere Josh has that beard. I know it.
October 13th, 2008 at 7:03 am
I was going to dress him up in a mime costume with a pencil thin mustache and a beret and call him "Gay Paris"
October 13th, 2008 at 7:03 am
Thanks, Kim. it was crazy fun to make.
October 13th, 2008 at 7:04 am
What exactly is in Rainbow Grizzly's Coffin?
PS, I never would have done this comic without you guy's video.
October 13th, 2008 at 7:05 am
well, we've already established, its in his blood.

Cub Scout.
October 13th, 2008 at 7:10 am
His parents were murdered by an invisibl bicycle cat gang…. or possible run over my a stray monorail cat.
October 13th, 2008 at 7:11 am
I came up with the Macromancer about a year ago and Ive seriously just been holding on to it until now.
October 13th, 2008 at 7:11 am
I dont know who that is, but sure, why not?
October 13th, 2008 at 7:12 am
hmmm… this adds drama and tension to the story. Get to work on your costume.
October 13th, 2008 at 7:12 am
Was he lured along by songs about cigarette trees and lemonade springs, at Big Rock Candy Mountain and the Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch?
October 14th, 2008 at 7:16 am
Yeah, or Bear Arms pistol that almost looks like its from Battlestar…
October 13th, 2008 at 7:19 am
I'm gonna need the backstory on the term "Bear Arms", but other wise another winner. I like Joel's Macromancer, the scourge of Microsoft and UNIX, and all 3rd-party manufacturers! Got a very Dr. Orpheus from the Venture Brothers thing going on.
October 13th, 2008 at 7:23 am
Badass British special forces guy with the same beard.
October 13th, 2008 at 7:29 am
Otter-Matic?
Woof-erine?
Slightly Furry Gay Superhero?
October 13th, 2008 at 7:34 am
I believe this is what happened: http://is.gd/40WS
October 13th, 2008 at 7:36 am
Hahahahaha! Oh, please put Gay Paris in a future comic!
October 13th, 2008 at 8:22 am
Happy Trailblazer.
October 13th, 2008 at 8:30 am
I thought you just sketched Josh directly from a Dore Alley pic.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:32 am
July '07, for the MN Bear Ball
October 14th, 2008 at 8:33 am
Unfortunate kerning could have turned Joel into "The Mac Romancer". *shudders at visions of Mac dry-humping*
October 13th, 2008 at 8:35 am
Very good!
October 13th, 2008 at 8:36 am
The entire thing is mighty impressive but i'm most impressed with the finer details…
I can has Cheezburger belt FTW
October 13th, 2008 at 8:39 am
"Macromancer" is inspired.
October 13th, 2008 at 9:10 am
**creeeeeaaaaak** Oh dear Lord, it's just bricks and gravy! He lives!!
I'm so happy to have been partial inspiration for this! Ordering my prints now…

BOOOOOSH
October 13th, 2008 at 9:43 am
LOL. never been
October 13th, 2008 at 9:45 am
hahahha, I love this.
October 13th, 2008 at 9:50 am
LOLuchador < LOLBat
October 13th, 2008 at 10:30 am
I wasnt aware there is a competition.
October 13th, 2008 at 10:31 am
When did you do that?
October 13th, 2008 at 10:43 am
Uh, oh. When you next hear your doorbell, it could be Elton John coming to take your gay card.
October 13th, 2008 at 10:51 am
You need to add the tag "muttonchops" to that. Or "chopper."
October 14th, 2008 at 10:53 am
The Chubby Chaser.
October 14th, 2008 at 1:01 am
This strip is like Airplane or something, each time you read it you see more details. All the subtle apple references on the macromancer and I particularly like the loluchadores kitty lolcat mask.
100% win.
October 14th, 2008 at 1:46 am
Neat, so LOLuchador is a lot like that guy who the reapers didn't kill in that ep of Firefly. He had to become one.
October 14th, 2008 at 2:29 am
kthxDIE is perfect!
Great strip.
Does the MacRomancer also have freeze ray of smug aloofness that beams from his eyes?
October 13th, 2008 at 6:23 am
so good, can Bear Arms talk like Capt. Price from COD4? That how im imagining it.
October 13th, 2008 at 6:46 am
No, no, Bear Arms' sidekick is the Cub Reporter! His alter-ego? Dick Gayson, of course.
October 13th, 2008 at 6:50 am
Ooh, as WinBear, I could be Joel's nemesis and still be Josh's f-buddy
October 14th, 2008 at 7:28 am
He'd have to out-slap Sean Connery for the privilige!
October 15th, 2008 at 9:45 am
Or a Fancy Bastard CCG – cards for both superhero/villan and disguise personas…at the very least I want to see the rest of the crew super'd.
Given how much grief you guys give Denise, would she be a superheroine and your nemesis? The Shining Inuit perhaps?
October 15th, 2008 at 9:46 am
(not that I feel I have any right in joining the faux racial slurs – she's not my friend!)
October 15th, 2008 at 10:27 am
"I cast the Balut Egg of Destruction! That adds +10 vomit damage to my next attack!"
October 15th, 2008 at 3:16 am
Absolutely brilliant, Joel!!! Feeling lotsa love for the Macromancer, and the LOLuchador is…just….wow. The "can has cheezburger" belt is the perfect touch, and the whiskers on the mask…details, details!!! I think Bear Arms needs a bit more furriness than just the muttonchops, however, but they are lookin' mighty fine on Josh — a real life inspiration, perhaps?
October 15th, 2008 at 4:18 am
Yeah… Or Batman…
October 15th, 2008 at 4:19 am
Yep, and there's the origin…
October 15th, 2008 at 6:11 am
I think you should make this comic into individual stickers… each panel…
OOH or trading cards!
I know I'd buy them.
October 14th, 2008 at 6:43 am
I have no idea what my submission would be, but Josh's is BRILLIANT.
October 20th, 2008 at 3:06 am
He cmd+x's your immortal soul and cmd+v's it into an urn he keeps on his desk.
October 20th, 2008 at 3:06 am
As in The 2nd Amendment and this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_community
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
FOOLS!!!!! Your pitiful little League is NOTHING compared to unrivaled, unstoppable power of The Guild of Calamitous Intent!!! Prepare to face judgement before the Council of 13 and the Sovereign(who is not really David Bowie, wink wink)!
But seriously, this was a very silly strip. Keep it up!
