Edgiest characters, costumes, books, creators, storylines, etc.Meet Odysseus, Deathstroke's dad.
>>152570843Romulus. Basically bigger badder Wolverine with FOUR claws!
This just screams 90’s edge.
Roy's adorable precocious five year old daughter? Yeah she was trafficked and raped.In general the mid 90s to mid 00s were full of writers writing characters being raped and retconning sexual abuse into their past to be deep and edgy. Looking back it's kinda strange how widespread it was.
>>15257087118 claws total if you include his nasty ass fingernails3x better than Wolverine if my math is right
>>152570954I think it’s a more subtle design
>>152571191The helmet's cool but the rest...
>>152570843>>152570871>>152570954>>152571191Comics more of this, and less of this >>152570988
>>152570988>kidnapped, tatted, and trafficked>died to make her father edgierLian had a hard life. Nice they brought her back and of course they used that as an opportunity to age her up.
>>152570843Looks cool>>152570871Looks coolworks for me. both of those runs were fun. the wolverine run there also wasn't just fun, some parts of it were incredible. the part right before this Romulus reveal where Wolverine is stuck in his memories was pretty incredible in my opinion. Gorgeous art, too.
>>152570988All culminating in this incredibly hilarious page.

>>152570843Ian Nottingham from Witchblade.The guy who merges with a sentient weapon that prior only chose women wielders, who also captures and domesticated the powers of The Darkness, who also is the wielder of Excalibur, is the love interest of n actual angel, can catch bullets with his bare hands, absorb energy with the force of will of his soul, cut cars in half with a katana, and is an expert in all forms of hand to hand combat.And he's just a plain, regular, human.
>>152570843The Black Hand. Once he was a goofy bad guy from the 60's but now he's a genocidal maniac obsessed with DEATH and serves the Lord of the Unliving, Nekron! Oh, did I mention he blew his brains out and became an undead Black Lantern?!
>>152571526Nah, i dig the red lines in the all black and the red energy scythe. Edgy kino design.
This guy https://www.writeups.org/edge-bloodlines-dc-comics/
Spawn isn't as edgy visually as it is morally though it's both in spadeshis first major villain is a fucking child rape murderer covered up by a corrupt senator and then he goes on to kill satan
>>152570843The suit has 60 large spikes that represent the 60 kids that died during the accident he caused. I wonder what the people that read thos the first time felt like. Hell, i wonder what the 2 or so og speedball fans felt.
>>152572487I was wondering what to pick from the pinnacle of 90's edge extended universe of The Darkness/Witchblade, but I am not learned enough in their foul lore to have picked something. I remembered an amusing subplot that's had to pick a good image that visualizes the edginess of it all, but it involves an FBI agent making a deal with a sexual snuff demon to blow his mind and destroy his penis if he'll kill the Darkness for her.Felt like the dumb kind of violence and sex mash up you'd only see in a comic like that.
>>152572774You are like little babby, let me show you what REAL edge is
>>152572487>The guy who merges with a sentient weapon that prior only chose women wieldersMaybe he's just enby
>>152572781This isn't Edge, it's Kike propaganda.
>>152570954Hitman was edge done right
>>152572825Sad days are these, when men cannot even recognize the edge of their forebears. To have lived to see such times, that is the real curse.
I've always been fond of this unused Batman design. Literally 3edgy5me.>>152570843>Named after Odysseus because he blinded the cyclopsOkay, I follow. Nice allusion.>Eight-eyed maskNow you're just overcompensating.
>>152571191I flinch every time I see a combat scythe. Their only purpose is for edge, because God fucking knows they're not worth jack as a weapon.
>>152572862It's hard to describe in concrete terms the difference. It's not like edgy "heroes" in general don't tend to wallow in sentiment occassionally. In the tragedy of it all. After all, casting it all as melodrama tends to be a calling card of edge. His family! Dead! His loyalty! Betrayed! That hot babe he's into! Torn from her because of his DARK LIFE or SOME SUCH OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE! But there's a difference between that tawdry, uneffective display of childish emotional wangsting and real angst. Real bitterness and emotion.The only real term for it nowadays is Soul. Just the feeling you get that there's something real here, beyond the cool coats and blazing guns.
>>152572876This isn't edgy either, but it's not propaganda, it's just cool.
A slightly different form of edge, but Obsidian's entire storyline in post Zero Hour JLA was his powers causing him mental and physical anguish to the point he just wanted to kill himself.
>>152570843>>152570871>>152571191Why do they steal a name from Greek mythology instead of creating an original name?
>>152572919I prefer that to unmemorable adjectives, like "Gentle."
>>152572890>>152572862>Kids forget where the term "edge" came from and misuse it.
>>152570843Its funny and hard at the same timeODYSSSESUS: BLOOD RAGE COMING SOON GUEST STARRING KRATOS (from the God of war series)
>>152570843
>>152572722Even though Penance is ridiculously edgy I’ve always liked this suit design, he reminds me of a character from Hellraiser.
>>152572919Romulus claims to be the actual, mythological founder of Rome and has a twin sister named Remus.
>>152570954You gotta get over it already.
>>152570843Does deathstroke have el hermano? Or just the grande padre
>>152573154Pre-flashpoint he had a half brother named Wade.His claim to fame is becoming Ravager for two seconds and killing Rose's biological mom before coming back a decade later to kill her adoptive parents before getting killed by Rose when Slade tells her to. This is the start of when DC decided to make Rose a daddy's little villain for a couple years, before the Renegade arc in Nightwing had her denounce him for putting kryptonite in her eye socket.And yes, he was named after Deadpool who was named after Slade.
>>152572487He didn't look this cool in the show
>>152570871I started redin wolverine on daily basis when this poochie showed up.
>>152572916I just know Alan was pissed as hell he didn’t actually die
>>152572781TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPKEKUnsolicited austrian painter out of nowhere, it is like he is the only evil persona in human history.
>>152572876Why would goro from mortal kombat that is giant and has 4 arms need a gun?
>>152571526the helmet is stolen from the alex ross take on blackbolt
>>152570843Knull. Not even the entertaining or so bad it's good kind of edge, just the most fucking generic AI slop character you could imagine.
>>152572878Fuck that cape rocks
>>152570843Wraith from Annihilation Conquest.
Nemesis. Not the warlock but the mark millar character.
>>152570871Which Wolverine run is this? I'll give it a read
>>152574335Technically his first appearance is in Wolverine Origins #2, but his actual on-panel debut is Wolverine vol. 3 #55 from 2007.
>>1525734314 arms4 guns.Its simple math.
>>152571191If only he actually looked like that. Oliveti barely followed Andrew's design.
>>152572722Don't forget that the spikes are *inside* the suit, constantly causing him pain.
Karnak has some edgy moments
>>152574680
>>152574680>>152574686Was Karnak always this based?
>>152572774>>152572781>>152574680>>152574686Same writer, by the way.
