The Savage Dragon/YMMV


 * Complete Monster: Emperor Kurr, the previous identity of Dragon.
 * Averted with the current Overlord. He seems this way at first, murdering his way into the leadership of the Vicious Circle, and even killing Dragon. Even after we learn his goal is to bring Freaks equal rights and not World Domination, his continual murder of rebelling goons and mutating his minions into Dragon clones, he still dosn't seem any better. His defining moment of non-evilness comes when he stands horrified at sending his goons to their deaths.
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: There was understandable backlash from a number of fans during the mostly well recieved Savage World storyline. One fan in particuler went on to write a long, deep letter as to how Larsen had betrayed all his loyal fans for throwing out the regular continuity to do something cliched for the purpose of increasing sales. Larsen responds with an equally disgusted letter bashing the fan for having no free will and being too stubborn to admit he can just stop buying the book, as well as assuming he did it solely for the money. Erik Larsen is now awesome in this tropers books.
 * Fashion Victim Villain: The series has got this in spades. Erik Larsen obviously loves designing these guys. Given the tongue-in-cheek nature of this comic, it makes sense, and the costumes fit their silly names, and the series sometimes lampshades this fact. A lot of them are throwaway baddies, but several members of his Rogues Gallery fit this category as well.
 * Meet Hellrazor. This guy made his first appearance in issue 2 of the mini, and he's one of the longest-running recurring villains of the series, as a duo with his partner Cutthroat. For that matter, Cutthroat qualifies too. To make things even better, Hellrazor keeps that hairstyle even when he's in jail.
 * Squick: The Body Function, a gang led by the pus-filled Villainous Glutton Cesspool, consists of the phlegm-spewing Nasal Ned, the Fartillery-powered Backfire, and Belcher. Oddly, he didn't recruit the diarrhea-cannon wielding Dung or Menstrual Menace Heavy Flo.
