Behold, the splendor of one of Batman's goofiest foes, Mister Polka Dot from Detective 300 (and a few appearances since then in various places; sometimes known also as Polka-Dot Man).

I converted him from a Marvel Starman heroclix. Because who doesn't love Mister Polka Dot? Each dot on his costume is a fearsome weapon!

You gotta love the old school comic villains who aren't insufferably psychotic, or too proud to wear a silly costume and go by a silly moniker.

I foresee many possible gaming uses for this chap, in multiple periods.

Perfect camouflage for a Wonder Bread factory too! Great idea and paintjob!

Polychromatic version of the equally ridiculous looking Spot from the Marvel side of the tracks:

Nice work. Not a villain I've ever heard of.

Not surprising. Even his own mother disowns him.

Google his name and you'll see many amusing panels or illustrations.

Wonder Bread factory eh? Hmmmmmmmm……

Of course, he's a bit put out when kids try to play Twister on him when he's napping at the beach…

many years ago when playing a superhero RPG I created a character that was insanely fun to play – Superfool – a grown man wearing all in one pink fluffy pyjamas with teddy bears on as his costume.

He was the worlds nicest, most well meaning blundering idiot, never got anything right, and nothing ever worked the way he intended but his "special power" was to attract and solicit the sympathies of very competent people to keep saving him!

It took the right kind of GM to make the character work but there were times we had a right hoot!

Looks like a Wonderbread wrapper … evil grin

Still waiting for Piper909's "Hypno-Hustler" conversion.
