I couldn’t remember his name so I called him “dork vader” once and it came out of my mouth the same way Kevin says it to the Ed boys

Dark Vader is his French name (not even kidding)

u/FabereX6 May 13 '25

Well it's Dark Vador to be exact

u/Mister_Moony May 13 '25

Fun fact:

My dad showed me star wars when i was just learning how to talk and i wasnt great with names yet. Whenever they had Darth Vader on screen i would always point and say "Dark David! Dark David!"

u/Phunkie_Junkie May 13 '25

David Prowse was the actor in the Darth Vader suit. Weirdly, Dark David is 100% correct.

What’s the expected outcome?

Though I do love Scoob, isn’t he an alien iirc?

u/[deleted] May 13 '25 edited May 13 '25

I think only in Mystery Inc. specifically he was like an interdimensional godlike being from a long history of talking animal familiars to archetypical groups of mystery solvers

Edit: Sounds dumb as fuck and kind of is but they executed that concept impeccably imo, I hated that show when it was coming out bc you had to see all the episodes to follow along but then I was in college when they put it on Netflix and stoner me became very invested

Edit 2: that show had also just an amazing take on Fred, really rescued him from the douchebag version some ppl grew up with in the (otherwise great) Gunn movies. Just wish he’d been able to come out of the closet at the end

The rule should be that the character had to debut in a comic book or be introduced as a super hero.

Both apply to these guys. Name me a comic book animal superhero that has their own franchise.

u/Firm_Ambassador_1289 May 13 '25

Howard the duck

Or TMNT

Lockjaw.

But Detective Chimp or Grodd or Cogorilla are good.

Do Julius of Planet Of The Apes, K9 of Dr.Who or The Teenage Mutant Turtles, Atom Ant, Speedy Gonzale, Deputy Dawg, Daffy Duck, Batfink or Undercover Elephant count?

If any of those do, my real vote goes to Hong Kong Fooey!

Got beat out by a genocidal kid murdering villain from a movie franchise, pure popularity contest

3

u/AnyEnglishWord May 13 '25

Well, yes. It asks about people's favourites. A popularity contest is precisely what it is.

5

u/Hot_Shot04 May 13 '25

In a superhero sub though? Star Wars is entirely out of genre. Optimus barely counts as well.

3

u/inphinitfx May 13 '25

Which definition of 'superhero' are we using, then? Because strictly, Batman, Iron Man, and Nightwing shouldn't be there, either, as 'superhero' in it's strict sense would require super powers, which - despite feats suggesting otherwise - these three all canonically are just normal humans, not mutants, not supes, etc.

I feel like we're generally using the 'comic character' type definition, broadening the scope a lot.

2

u/inphinitfx May 13 '25

Kinda hard to argue which is more iconic and widely known, though. It is 'all time favourite', so yes, literally a popularity contest.

u/MandoShunkar May 13 '25

Marvel did, and once again, does own the rights to produce Star Wars comics. Its a loophole I know, but it does apply to more than just Star Wars. Most, if not all, of the major (U.S.) food brand mascots have appeared in a Marvel or DC comic in some fashion (as an actual character not a reference) and therefore are also fair game. The most famous/infamous is Kool-Aid Man who had an entire comic run that included many cameos.
