Starman 101 Part 4: The Bad and The Wrong

In terms of fiction, the more powerful the villian equals the more noble hero. Starman has one of the most impressive rogues galleries in all of comicdom, right up there with Batman, Spider-Man, and The Flash.

Ted Knight's nemesis, and the nemesis of the legacy itself, is The Mist.
A disembodies head with hands that floats around like smoke, The Mist is an interesting villian for sure, at least visually. In the Starman series, though, He has become senile, and has lapses of memory.
And when Ted finally confronts his archenemy for their final battle at the end of the series, The Mist breaks down and cries, knowing that he'll never have another chance to defeat his lifelong foe.
The Mist has two kids, Kyle (his son) and Nash (his daughter). Kyle is the man responsible for the murder of Jack's brother David, and what does Jack do when he finds Kyle? Well they have a battle in the sky and...
Jack totally fucks him up!

Upon hearing about her brothers death, Nash feels remorse because she let Jack go, and then he played a part in her brother's death. Mirroring Jack's choice, Nash gives herself her father's powers and becomes a criminal mastermind, and also Jack's archenemy for the remainder of the series. Nash is a psycho-bitch, for sure. Not only does she kill without remorse, but she even drugs Jack, rapes him, have his kid, and tells Jack that she is going to raise the child to hate Jack and eventually murder him. Harsh.
Ragdoll: Another great villian from the series, Ragdoll was an enemy of Ted's from a long time ago. With triple jointed limbs, he evaded attacks with unnatural precision. When his limbs get too strained and painful, Ragdoll discovers he is a phenomenal public speaker and leads Opal's crime society as their leader. He then becomes nicknamed the "Charles Manson of The Opal" for his ability to orchestrate the most heinous of crimes in his name.
Dr. Phosphorus: Now this guy looks like something that would be on the cover for a Manowar CD. With his skin constantly burning, the evil Doctor Phosphorus is a total dick. I think it's ironic that he's constantly scorching hot and James Robinson writes him as a chain-smoker. I thought it was clever.
Copperhead: A snake-like villian, Copperhead has never been much of a threat. He fights Jack once in the middle of the series, but i've always liked him so i decided he deserved a spot on the list. He's pretty well known for being on the cartoon Justice League.
The Royal Flush Gang: a group of criminals with a card motif, i always thought they were kind of cool for how lame they were. Jack fights them once, but the fight is really short and Jack basically beats the complete shit out of them. They also appeared on the Justice League cartoon.
Prairie Witch: A villian that appears way late in the series, she uses magic and guns to commit her crimes. There really isn't much to her, and i don't think she was in anything after Starman ended.
Johnny Sorrow: A villian of Ted's from his prime, Johnny Sorrow looks so badass. That floating mask over the red tux just rocks. When he removes his mask, everyone around him dies. Intense, for sure.
And that's it for the villians that populate Opal City. I have just one more Starman 101 lined up, and I saved the best for last...
