I liked oddly-supportive-and-decent Batroc from the Gwenpool series.

Batroc is down for any Captain America-related action because he has a massive man-crush. <interlude, with fighting> Captain America vs. Batroc the leaper, one-shot, 2011 (Buck-Cap) (Oh hey, he's hanging out with a big-chested blonde there at the end, surely that must be only coincidence, oui?) Amusing, but not really funny enough. Let's see what we can find in (Ms. Marvel #7, 2016) I started looking closer because of one detail, and spotted a bunch more. "TRI_STATE ULTRA MEGA SCIENCE FAIR basketball cancelled", the Moose Juicer, "Believe In Your Dreams" by gliding over a snake-infested spike trap in a pterodactyl suit (STEGRON! ), the cute lil' kid preparing to fire Otto Octavius Jr.'s ULTRA MEGA harpoon gun, at another little kid wearing a whale suit (which already has a couple patches ), Demon Bear (Home Edition) behind the "Wonders of Cuttlefish Milk" exhibit, "Weaponize Your Face" (headcannons ahoy), "Injectable Pizza" way down in the lower right, nearly hidden by the inset panel (which may explain the shirtless goon)... And the one that first caught my eye. From Jim Wynorski's 1986 classic, Chopping Mall . The Scuretronics Series 101 Protector. Hauling rear end with a suitcase full of cash. https://i.gifer.com/dTu.mp4

Bruceski posted:Does the comics world have any mainstream (I know that's a relative term) professional henchpeople other than Taskmaster and Batroc? I like that shtick. Show up to go against whoever's actually on the cover and don't need an introduction or explanation why they're involved. Batroc has his own brigade of henchmen that people forget about so much that no living person can tell you how many Machetes there have been or which ones are dead. The Serpent Squad is also essentially just a supervillain henchman union, with a dumb snake theme. Although half the time they get a leader who has ambitions beyond that and turns them into more of a Discount Masters of Evil. Never ends well for em. Crossbones is also basically a henchman for life, but the fact that his preference is for working with Red Skull makes him relatively unpopular with other henchpeople and mercs.

Kingpin is the one doing the hiring... but his underlings like Tombstone and Hammerhead would count? Work for him for money? Scorpion? Not sure what he's up to these days, but Jameson originally paid for his armour to kill Spidey.

scorpion was last seen in a cut rate power armor that resembled franken-flash thompson as a fakeout.

Part of me thinks that "professional henchman" implies you're fairly mercenary and have worked for several different supervillains or supervillainous organizations, and if you only ever work for one villain (or villorg) you're just that felllow's henchperson even if you're being paid handsomely Like, those themed goons every Bat-foe had in 60's Batman, those were regular henchers. Unless they got the same actor to play several of them, then I guess that person could be a henchpro. But also I'm not sure why my brain wants this distinction, because if you play hockey or baseball, and you get paid to do it, you are a professional hockey or baseball player. Even if you're minor league.

Spiderman's gallery is all hired goons but it's usually the same guy or two doing the hiring. Taskmaster could pop up anywhere and Batroc has a similar vibe even though he's pretty exclusively going against Cap.

Famicom Rocky Sadly, that's the funniest/most clever thing in the comic which is all about how video games are serious business. It's from the mid-80's and was published to cash in on the video game craze and act as cross promotion for a bunch of old video games. It's astonishingly bad, and more interesting as a time capsule than something worth reading.
