How would you update Rogol Zaar for the Absolute books?
>>154593124I'd make him a pathetic joke villain so Bendis would know how it feels
>>154593264Penis?
Make him more Doomsday
>>154593124I would make him edgy with an asymmetrical design and he always shows his teeth.
I don't even know who this guy is.
>>154593124He wold be a fat, bald, middle age man who dreams of being more powerful than Superman. He makes up a very elaborate inner fantasy of being some kind of intergalactic bounty hunter after it became obvious his wife has been sleeping around on him and his kids came out black.
>>154593426No, make him someone who jobs to Doomsday.
>>154593524That seems like Absolute Lobo lol
>>154593493Robert Z'dar
>>154593493Raggle fraggle
>>154593493Roger Zoo
He is Two Face Doomsday? I mean Rogol Zaar
>>154593493Raul Salazar
>>154593493Superman's archenemy
>>154593124looks cool i guess. i like his fucked up face and the axe, but you should probably get rid of the hair on top of his head so he doesn't look like he's baldingdid bendis fuck him up or something?
>>154593524So he's Bendis pretending to be Roger Zoger?
>>154593124I never could figure out just why Bendis thought this was a better idea than any other alien brick type villain that Superman has fought. He's just another>Mongul>Lobo>H'ell>Doomsday>Kalibak>Wraith>Subject 17all over again but with a more boring look and a total lack of an origin
>>154595980Because Bendis also made him the TRUE reason that Krypton was destroyed, it was HIM all along.AND ALSO, he's not just some evil alien guy, no, turns out Jor-El CREATED HIM as a super-weapon experiment, so he was the reason Krypton was destroyed all along.Are you surprised to learn no one has acknowledged any of this since Bendis left?
>>154596001So the unoriginal Mongul clone turned out to also be an unoriginal Doomsday and Black Zero clone too.
>>154596001Didn't that run kill Bendis' writing career for the last 7-8 years now?
>>154593493Nemesis.
>>154593524Kek
>>154593124I make him Absolute Superman's Absolute Paul.
>>154596668>Rogol Zaar: the alien that tries too hard to be Superman's nemesis and ends up falling flat every time. Superman is mostly disappointed he'd waste his power and talents on ineffectual plans rather than improving himself and his life
>>154596722>But somehow he cucked Superman
>>154596001Jor El creating him and him destroying Krypton is vaguely implied to be a lie since it's been shown Rogol is wrong about MANY things
>>154593493>we have doomsday at home!
It's if image comics made a shitty Doomsday ripoff in the 90
>>154593426Rogol Zaar's problem is that he's too much Doomsday! He's just another generic brick who showed up out of nowhere and tried to kill Superman. You need something more than that, because Doomsday already did that!Zaar's problem is that there's nothing unique about him. Another villain has already done everything he's done, but better. There's only one real way he can stand out from the crowd.He needs to rape Superman!
>>154593124I dunno why Rogol Zaar is so fucking funny to me. They made so much noise about how Bendis was switching over to DC and how he was going change everything, and then he drops the most generic, nothing villain you could possibly imagine. Just, ugly angry dude. It's so funny.
>>154598402New villains after 2011 always are like that
>>154598830I liked Punchline and Bloom
>>154598402Wasnt Bendis the one criticising that most Supermans stories are about him hitting brickwall villians than doing the same thing?
>>154593830Nah, not enough chin.
>>154598830Batkek isn't angry at all.
>>154593493Ronald Bizarre
>>154593124I mean the problem of Ragdoll Zparta or whatever his name is is that Bendis tried pushing him as Krypton's destroyerHad he just been some alien warrior with an insane hatred for Kryptonians and only went to Earth so that he can claim the title to be the one who made Kryptonians officially extinct, he'd be a far more interesting character
>>154600218Read >>154598117>Jor El creating him and him destroying Krypton is vaguely implied to be a lie since it's been shown Rogol is wrong about MANY things
>>154596001Yeah that whole Jor-el made him part never made any sense. It doesn't connect to his being some agent of the evil scheming space illuminati that decided to blow up Krypton. There is some weird missing info how he got from one point to the other point in his life.
>>154598402He made Rogol Zar, and that Red Cloud woman. Who is yet another element powered woman villain when Superman has 2 of those already. So pretty much everything Bendis did was a really incredibly half-ass copy of an old idea.
>>154593124I would lean into his being a complete half assed copy of other Superman villains.>He wants to be Superman's main nemesis really badly and works to reach that goal, like Lex Luthor>He copies Doomsday's look and powerset as a big strong monster guy from space.>He wants to set himself up as the biggest baddest space warlord like Mongul since he thinks that would make him the best Superman rival>He made up stories of blowing up Krypton and spread them around in hopes of angering Superman and inflating his reputation>Sometimes he will wear fake bone portrusions like Doomsday and sometimes he will wear a cheap laser on his chest like Mongul. His whole deal is that he is constantly scheming and plotting so he can reach the position as Superman's biggest adversary and everything he does is to get Superman's attention or piss him off. He has no other actual plans after that and his schemes are really poorly thought out and tend to fail. Making him come off as a buffoon most of the time. He is really some alien that heavily mutated himself using Czarnean dna to give himself powers to rival Superman but it also left him looking freakish.
>>154601311That honestly sounds cool, like a Superman fan that wants to give him a worthy villain, Lady Superman but of villains
>>154598117>>154601093Rogol didn't say it, Adam Strange did around the end of the arc, and Superman just accepted it as fact.I wouldn't blame most people on missing this detail, even those who read Bendis's garbage, it's only really discussed on this one single page after a whole story that made it seem like Rogol was just some alien guy that hated Kryptonians.Bendis never elaborates on this, obviously.
>>154594799Lex Luthor?
>>154602141>Rogol was just some alien guy that hated Kryptonians.Everybody in the DC universe hates Kryptonians. That's nothing special at all.
>>154602141>>154602172It would have been so much easier to have him be a survivor of a world Krypton invaded centuries ago. I don't understand why he had to be a Kryptonian experiment too out of nowhere five minutes before he is shipped off never to be seen again.
>>154602254>before he is shipped off never to be seen again.Erm, fake fan much?Every true Rogolhead knows that Rogol Zaar made his grand return as the final villain fought in Bendis's acclaimed reinvention of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
>>154602254>>154602278There was this guy Amalak, he was an alien that hated kryptonians because they invaded his world, never explained how.He was reinvented as a black alien to go against Power Girl.And the name suggest he is an enemy of hebrews as Superman is El hebrew.
>>154602141It was also implied that because Rogol was going to blow up the earth core that was how he destroyed Krypton rather than simply pressing a button, I think Rogol Zaar things are just confusing because he is chaotic and so neither he knows what he did to destroy Krypton IF he destroyed Krypton and if he was really Jor El creation and not another supposition never confirmed
>>154602825He is Black Zero and Amalak but without the good of both
>>154593426>just punching stuff and killing songbirds for no raisin>somehow the biggest threat superman ever faced>>154593493imagine a guy you care even less about than thatthat's him, that's the guy
>>154605051Yes, fag
>>154593493Rem Lezar? That'd probably be scarier, though for different reasons.
>>154602278I do not, have not, and never will read Legion of Superheroes. Nothing that happens there matters to me.
>>154602825He seems more like a very secondary GL villain. As a Superman villain he is a lesser version of Brainiac. At best he is Terra Man without the cowboy theme.
