Armless Tiger Man....Just Because

[Roughneck]

Only in the Golden Age Folks....

 

[Wolfwood]

Kinda makes me feel icky.

 

[Roughneck]

Don't Feel Icky...Unless you think about how he Wipes his butt.


Armless Tiger Man shall Rise again.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Or if he wipes at all...

 

[Ahura Mazda]

Who the hell came up with that idea?

 

[Harlekin]

Damn, that's hot.

 

[roach]

hear that sound...it's the bottom of the idea barrel being scrapped

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Anybody else thinks he looks stereotypical comic Asian of that era as well?

 

[Roughneck]

He's German

 

[Roughneck]

Who the hell came up with that idea?

Paul Gustavson and Al Bellman

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

He's German

I'm not saying he's not. I'm just saying what came to mind.

 

[Nasty-B]

I really admire Armless Tiger Man. He's overcome a lot of adversity in order to become the brilliant super villain that he is.

 

[Roughneck]

His evil master plan is to destroy all machines because he hates them.....not overly brilliant IMO

 

[Locs]

Anybody else thinks he looks stereotypical comic Asian of that era as well?

With the fangs maybe, but I automatically thought of "the furher". Such an unusual creature, with a killer pedicure.

 

[Cyclops]

hear that sound...it's the bottom of the idea barrel being scrapped

And so early in the game, too.

 

[The Question]

I actually have his origin story. Goes a lil' somethin' like this:

Regular armful human man: Golly, working in a german factory with almost no safety regulations and no health benefits whatsoever sure is fun!

Gets arms torn off after they're cuaght in a machine.

Regular armful human man: .....well don't that just beat all?

Later that night...

Regular armless human man: Even though I am dissabled, I shall hone my body so I can function better than I ever did with my arms!

A few months later.

Armless Tiger Man: Besides the unforseen and highly improbably side effect of my face taking on cat like features and my teeth growing into fangs from using my mouth to hold things so much, I'm in the best shape of my life. Now, to declare a war on all machines.

Skynet: ....****.

Nazis: Hey, Armless Tiger Man.

Armless Tiger man: 'Sup?

Nazis: We really don't aprechiate you destroying our industrial factories like that. It's kind of an act of treason. We're going to have to, you know, kill you.

Armless Tiger Man: But I love Germany. I am a proud Nazi. In fact, when I was twelve, I would put chairs in the way of the Jewish kids in my school and put a penny by my feet just to watch them trip over for it. I just hate machines.

Nazis: Okay. Compromise: Wanna destroy machines in America?

Armless Tiger Man: Does a fat kid love cake?

Nazis: Not anymore. We killed all the fat children.

Armless Tiger Man: Oh.

Nazis: Yeah.

Long pause.

Armless Tiger Man: Okay, I'll do it.

 

[Zoken]

God, Q, you rock.

 

[Phrostyphlame]

geta life armless tiger man he has no super strenght or speed so leave him alone worthless piece of crap.

 

[Zoken]

OH! Armless Tiger Man is just the enemy the GLA...err... GLC needs!

 

[The Question]

OH! Armless Tiger Man is just the enemy the GLA...err... GLC needs!

Well, he'd be around 80 by now. Still, could be cool to have some armless old guy show up, and then whup the team's collective asses because he's still a badass in prime fighting shape.

 

[deemar325]

Q you are f'king ******ed in a good way.

 

[Zoken]

nah man, Armless Tiger Man doesn't age! he's like Cap... but without arms... and with a serious case of underbite.

 

[The Question]

nah man, Armless Tiger Man doesn't age! he's like Cap... but without arms... and with a serious case of underbite.

But he does age. Still, that's not a reason why he can't be a super villain. There are plenty of old guys in really good shape.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

I know I have that issue the picture is from somewhere....God I need help
