Legion of Doom for Real Life Supervillains

Alex

Brazilian illustrator Butcher Billy (previously on Neatorama) is back at it again! This time, he has recreated the world's most brutal dictators (and other unpopular public figures) as comic book villains:

Some might say all art is a reflection of the times we live in.

If back in the day comics and movies were pretty naive and faced only as pure escapism, today's fiction has to evoke reality to create something truly meaningful... and frightening.

This series is an experiment where a dictator, a psycho, a murderer (sometimes they are the whole package) or even a suspicious figure from real life is mashed with a comics bad guy - strangely related some way or the other with his counterpart.

The Legion of Doom for Real Life Supervillains feature Mao Zedong as Darkseid, Bin Laden as the Green Goblin, Gaddafi as Bizarro, Hitler as Galactus, and so on:

"Even more inexplicably it’s not uncommon to see two engines being used to transport one freight car. This level of inefficiency is simply insane. The Island of Sodor isn’t that big. There’s just no reason why one engine can’t be used to haul multiple cars."

That's easy; all the engines are very eager to be useful. Usefulness is a major concern on the island of Sodor.

If you have the version narrated by Ringo Starr Sir Toppam Hat is called the Fat Controller, so in Ringo's Sodor it's not all riches and glory for the boss. My wife can't stand Alec Baldwin, so it was Ringo or no Thomas for the children. :-)
