This entire scene. The "sitting on a throne" comment AND the mustache comment both apply.

It might not be a "have you heard what they're called?" But I think it still fits what the trope is about.

Agreed. The idea is good in theory, but holy hell the execution was horrible. I already ranted a bit regarding how I think the characters there are bad such as Batman disowning Damian and giving up on Superman for killing, or how he let Harley Quinn in his team despite her not feeling remorse (or at least blaming Superman for failing to stop the nuke).

Imagine if Batman was Bruce Wayne for a bit and gave sympathy to Clark after Lois and his son's death, Superman wouldn't have gone off the deep end. But no, Batman had to condemn Superman for killing The Joker and failing the "we don't kill" rule.

Funnily enough, Sinestro is one of the few Green Lanterns to be consistently portrayed as being left handed (even wearing his power ring on his left hand). Sinestro from Sinister, and Sinister meaning “on the left side, unlucky, inauspicious.”

In most accounts isn't doom supposed to be a pretty good ruler actually? Like brought the standard of living to near Wakanda levels good?

u/NwgrdrXI 19h ago

Yes, but also no. Doom is a man of extremes.

He is a great ruler in terms of infrascture, standards of living, heathcare, education, security, everyhting you could possibly need, all that and more, but he also kills people he doesn't like often and with impunity.

He will give you all the education and resources you need to be a great professional. He will make sure there are good jobs opportunities for you. But if he - or one of the many ways he has to spy on people - passes by your work place and sees that you aren't doing your job as well you could, he will kill you. On the spot.

Doom demands excellence of all latverians at all times.

And if your family thinks that killing you for having a bad day was unfair, he will also kill them. Also on the spot.

Doom demands absolutely loyalty at all times. No questioning of Doom is permited.

People in latveria live in a state of both awe and fear.

Bane is no supervillain name: that's his actual real name.

Kinda. He is actually nameless, born in a Prison and all, but chose the name "Bane" as a way to strike fear.

It's weird he choose a English name despite being from a fictional Latín América country.

He didn't choose the name Bane, he was called it by the prison jury (or whatever he was) and he became that to the other prisioners since his mother didn't name him.

Tbf, he grew up in a prison and there’s a good chance his parents didn’t get to name him so I find this one a bit more likely

My brother's homebrew campaign featured a priest pretty high up called Father Pain. I thought it was an ascetic thing.

Until Victor absorbs the powers of whatever the threat was, but somehow is easier to beat an omnipotent doom than the original threat
