Black + White + Redder #6 has DC's Gotham Siren with Nightwing, Batman, Batgirl, and Robin in a plot full of extreme craziness that ends in the debut of one of DC's wildest rogues—Dr. De-Extinguisher King. Redondo masterfully captures Dr. De as a caricature of all the most ridiculous villain cliches, including thorough speeches, wicked cackles, strange gadgets, and a passion for massive red buttons. On July 16, 2024, the entire volume of Harley Quinn: Black + White + Redder #1–6 will be accessible to fans ready to experience this evil for themselves.
Dr. De-Extinguisher is unique and a welcome addition to the DC Universe since he embodies the old-fashioned stupidity that defined many great Villains. DC now mostly concentrates on building more severe and terrifying villains, fighting to be the ultimate menace or next great terrible. Redondo's design of a quirky, Dodo bird-loving elderly man stands out as one of the most enjoyable additions to the DCU in recent years since it adds a crazy fun and humor to the mix.
Though Dr. De-Extinguisher King may be ridiculous, Wonder Woman's Egg-Fu clearly ranks among the dumbest enemy names and ideas. Designed by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru, Egg-Fu debuted as a huge, supergenius egg navigating Wonder Woman #157 (1965) with a mechanical exoskeleton modeled like spider legs. More importantly, Egg-Fu was a former communist agent, which added still another degree of ridiculousness to this already unusual persona. In the struggle for DC's most ridiculous Villain, then will Wonder Woman's Egg-Fu or Harley Quinn's Dr. De-Extinguizer King triumph?
Now available from DC Comics is Harley Quinn: Black + White + Redder #6!
Bruno Redondo, an award-winning Nightwing artist, has gone to X (previously Twitter) to present the ultimate dare to fans: name a villain with a "more stupid" name and concept than one of DC's newest creations Redondo personally developed. Redondo's challenge has been accepted by Screen Rant, who is answering with a Wonder Woman enemy beyond wild.
One of the most fun additions to the DCU in recent years is Redondo's quirky, dodo bird-loving elderly man.
Several vigilante heroes in the D.C. world go under the superhero title Nightwing. Nightwing is shown as a warrior fighting from the shadows, makes almost perfect use of near-superhuman agility and adept combat techniques, and usually carries many weapons at hand. Though Nightwing started with Kal El/Clark Kent, a former Robin who developed into the new position, Nightwing has since been mostly connected with Dick Grayson.
For decades, the figure has been a major component of the DC Comics universe and has been a consistent presence in many comic book series, television shows, and movies. Among fans and the comic book world, the character's origin narrative, distinctive fighting technique, and legendary costume all help to explain his appeal.
Double Eisner Award winner and comic book artist Bruno Redondo posted on his X account a dare for readers: discover a DC villain with a "more stupid" name and proposition than his own imagined Gotham villain, Dr. De-Extinguizer King. Redondo's Harley Quinn: Black + White + Redder #6 launched this wild figure.
Fans will find it difficult to identify a villain to compete given the name of this character and his strange idea of creating massive robots of extinct animals to "resurrect" them before blowing them up with an obscene amount of explosives, although not impossible as Screen Rant will soon show.
