Wild Dog: The Quad Cities Superhero (feat: Degenerate Jay)

[@MattHerms-f7m]

I was the colorist on that most recent story arc in Batman: Brave and the Bold! I wasn't super familiar with the character before the assignment and read the original mini to prep. Thoroughly enjoyed it as well as the arc Kyle wrote for him in BBatB. Genuinely one of my favorite stories to have worked on in the last couple years. Really enjoyed your video!!

[@benjamincuevas9627]

Sportsmaster would be a great villain for Wild Dog. Their rivalry could just be really petty as they hate how similar they are to each other while being moral opposites.

[@qhethacoalspitter8935]

To add extra layer of pettiness, you could make something like the story set in a Game, where sportmaster is trying to sabotage it to fix a massive bet. It just happen to be Wild Dog's team, and sportmaster has stake cause he bet the team against them.

[@benjamincuevas9627]

@qhethacoalspitter8935 Wild Dog stops Sportsmaster but his team still loses. 😆

[@wardenunknown]

A rivalry that started when both men realize they root for different sports teams

[@InterplanarerPennersoeldner65]

Sportacus?

[@matowekleshmitz2921]

0:35 Chicago is genuinely one of the best cities to put superheroes in. Giant history of crime and organized crime, Homicide capital of the U.S., and it’s a requirement to be very corrupt to be a politician. The only thing is that Marvel is based in New York with New York writers, so most superheroes are based in New York, and DC uses fictional cities that are usually based off New York. I’m sure there are plenty of indie comics that are set in Chicago, but I would love having a marvel or dc hero(s) based in Chicago.

[@jellophant9716]

Agreed. Look at Dick Tracy. Detective Tracy's work is never over in "The City"

[@Orbowitz]

Technically, Gotham is based on if NYC and Chicago had a love child from a toxic relationship. Even some of the scenes in the dark knight trilogy were shot in Chicago.

[@CRIS_IS_ON_INFINITE_EARTHS]

Wild Dog is pretty much the final form of Casey Jones, seriously though this character is awesome! It's so fucking tasteless that CW didn't compensate the original creators what they should've! Also that Suicide Squad version of him is disgusting and disrespectful to the character but that theory you came up with to explain the personality change is actually pretty awesome!!

[@tomcaniff6437]

9:30 "I feel like these five issues were supposed to be a prelude to something bigger." "I feel like these five issues were supposed to be a prelude to something bigger." "I feel like these five issues were supposed to be a prelude to something bigger." do you now?

[@majordisaster]

That's such a weird glitch that wasn't there while I was editing, TF?

[@ToonGrin]

Wild Dog can be a solid character run by minis series and creating rogues aren't too hard. throw him against extremist groups and create colorful rogues for capers. What about a character that is like him him, home grown, but is more an extremists and maybe fights for more psychotic ideologies.

[@OLDDOGE12]

Oh definitely - the hockey jersey and mask definitely gives that feel.

[@andrewdiaz3529]

So they turned him from a guy whose main villians are basically Homeowners Association Neo-Nazis who want to "recreate pure society", to being a neonazi himself? Damn, Suicide Squad ruins everything it touches

[@SABBOTT2]

As someone from the QC, it's always fun to know you have a superhero that reps you in the DC universe lol.

[@nickrustyson8124]

Honesty now I wonder does the Phoenix Metro has one

[@dww7094]

This was a really enjoyable video about a character you don't really consider too often, good stuff! Hey I also want to say I particularly really appreciate your comments about sort of specificity and authenticity of location and that was one of the things I love so much in the comics I've read from the '70s and '80s. It's one of the reasons I adore older Spider-Man comics so much is someone who grew up in New York and It's something almost nobody considers. Easiest sub in a long time.

[@desertplanet3253]

0:24 god that everywhere else image is so real. the only rep Phoenix has gotten was when it was glassed in a DC comic

[@joshuataylor7443]

Make you wonder how the creator of Bane and Killer croc feel about how there characters have been handled

[@MrxBako]

Cool video dude, I only knew the character from Arrow but it actually has a interesting story in the comics too, I like his normal dude taking on the world vibes

[@the_flyattractor8656]

Ok. Been a Big WD Fan since I found his OG 4 part Mini at a Flea Market back in the late 80s. Took me a few years to get ahold of all 4. Have since gotten all the "Good Apperances" of WD since then. And I Did Not KNow about the Brave and Bold ones. Will have to get those. Too bad I'm too late to the boat casue now the WD Covers are Sold out and going for Scalper Prices. Da*DARN*mn It!

[@Bloodycupcake54]

I fucking love DIY Heroes

[@pedrososa4222]

dawg he made a few democrat jokes in the cave carson version and all of a sudden he is alt-right the next time we see him in suicide squad lmao

[@amach3639]

Honestly, I like his tactical design, but the problem with it is that it fits more for a character like Sportsmaster better than Wild Dog

[@mrmadfunny5507]

This is absolutely amazing keep up the great work can’t wait to see more 🔥!

[@rameybutler-hm7nx]

The wild dog mini series was awesome. Loved the home grown feel of it.

[@therussiancomicbookgeek]

Wild Dog wouldn’t even bother showing up the capital riots🤣 Because he’d have seen it for the fedop that it was

[@Elementa2006]

I’ve been a fan of the character since reading his Action Comics Weekly series in the Arabic translated Superman series back in Egypt (it was an anthology series published from Lebanon that mainly included Arabic translated Superman comics but also included stories featuring other DC characters) and I was quite captivated by Wild Dog, possibly because it was the 90s when I read them and we were still having that Hollywood Action hero boom of films starring stars like Stallone, Schwarzenegger, JCVD…etc and I was REALLY big into that film genre as a kid. From what I understand, that Suicide Squad series is meant to be taking place in its own universe outside the main DC timeline but I like your idea of it being an imposter.

[@Bentennosin]

Wild dog and peacemaker and vigilante would be insane

[@randallflagg3700]

I had a blast when *Arrow* gave us some Wild Dog vs Vigilante moments in season 5 & 6 (and Wild Dog was one of Vij' most ardent supporters when he seeked to make a ceasefire with team Green Arrow in season 6 so both sides can take on Cayden James' Criminal Cabal at the same time, instead of diluting their efforts). Between Vigilante, Wild Dog and Prometheus, *Arrow* season 5 got me so hyped back then; before that it was unthinkable that these characters would share the same screen. Nowadays it might seem tacky, like the old *Smallville* pseudo-Justice League, but back when superhero shows were still seen as second-class material, it was pretty cool to see more and more people discovering and getting interested in our favorite characters thanks to *Arrow* and *The Flash* . Can't believe that today is the day the Arrowverse officialy ends, since episode 10 of season 4 of *Superman & Lois* is airing, well, today. What a ride it's been, get ready for a bunch of youtube retrospectives on *Superman & Lois* ' 4 seasons. _Dis gon be gud_

[@toganium4175]

I really enjoyed the original 4 issue Wild Dog miniseries. I really like Jack Wheeler and his interconnected circle of friends. How they interact with each other is truly what makes the comic. Also, why do you called him WD40?

[@majordisaster]

Wild Dog, WD. Created nearly 40 years ago, he's a mechanic so likely uses lubricant on cars, I like wordplay and it gets boring saying the same name over and over and I like to switch it up. It's a multi-layered joke.

[@jackofallclaws6672]

I wonder if MD would ever do an episode talking about Ragman?

[@EdTheCrkHead]

18:12 superhero’s and aliens have and do level entire cities in comics while guns are just an inanimate tool

[@benjamincuevas9627]

He went from Jason to Jason X. 😢

[@Nah-t1h]

I showed you my wild dog plz respond is crazy 😭🙏

[@Orbowitz]

For those curious about Arsenal Island or Rock Island Arsenal as it's called irl. It has a really cool museum full of military history. My dad used to take me there as a kid.

[@therussiancomicbookgeek]

This was a pretty good video all things considered 🤙

[@sainttan]

Still blows my mind how many super heroes in Marvel's New York City, yet somehow Spider-Man has many annoying Rouges out to ruin his City.

[@localloser7415]

Honestly I think Wild Dog not having a supervillian fits the vibes of the hometown hero very well. Although of vourse a super villian here and there every rare blue moon sounds good

[@michaelstarr9812]

MARVEL refers to DC as the 'Distinguished Competition.'. Usually not the other way round. ahem. ..

[@randallflagg3700]

To be more precise, it was specifically Stan Lee who called DC=Distinguished Competition. The generic Marvel term for DC is "Brand Ecch", a play on "Brand X"

[@scottsummers31]

i kindof get Hotline Miami vibes from him.

[@kendi5391]

Honestly that's an awesome character.

[@eyetube2573]

WildDog, well… you got my sub.

[@DanGromek1212]

John wick style Wild Dog movie would be perfect

[@carizmakeith326]

I like the tactical uniform!! He looks Awesome that way!! He can just switch out every now then.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Hey_McG]

So is Casey Jones a Wild Dog homage?

[@someonewhocommentsonyoutub3779]

based on my googling it looks like Casey beat him by a couple years, so you could argue WD is a Casey Jones homage but if that was the case then I think Major woulda mentioned it here

[@OLDDOGE12]

​@someonewhocommentsonyoutub3779 oh definitely but they did mention a wink to Jason Voorhees.

[@trippzeleskey2612]

So quick story i think two or three years ago i went to a small convention with my sister and im a big comic fan and love dc but I live in a small town and a guy at the convention sold me all 4 of the original wild dog comics for only 4 dollars and I read them all and they were great and then I watched arrow lol he’s a underrated character in my opinion and a unique character with a great story and comic

[@jayrett]

Thankfully SS: Kill Joker is noncanon along with most other Black Label books

[@Guy_who_likes-music]

Great video

[@reginaldcaine6161]

Neither the Punisher or Wolverine appear in their own one-shots first. I'm not sure how you made that mistake

[@joshuataylor7443]

Have you see what CW did with Adam Smasher?

[@Onedepressedgamer]

Representing is great when not done by triple aaa video games companies

[@alk7775h-nz6zu]

This is the type of dude that I'd love to see in the new DCU movie universe tbh Kind of off topic but wdyt of Keith Griffen's the Heckler?

[@carizmakeith326]

BRING BACK THE WILD DOG IMMEDIATELY!!!!

[@Cheese92208]

We need a super hero based in or from Tennessee

[@foxdolan1469]

ft degenerate Jay?!?!

[@mcruz4571]

What happened to "judging people by the content of their character and not by their color"... I always found this idea that a character must be your same skin color to feel "represented" as ridiculous, I feel represented in Blade, Tchala, Superman, Batman, Thor, Spiderman....not because of their skin color or their ethnicity, but because they are heroes, because they are people with a certain moral character that represents me, not because of their skin tone .😂

[@slammermchammer]

It's really easy to say for us (im assuming your white too here in this) to say this because we don't need representation due to all of American media for most of American history only being white people. We see ourselves in everything so much its weird when its NOT a white guy for people, its a very different experience for other races where until the last generation or so they also only got to see white people and MAYBE less then favorable views of their own race when they do rarely see it in media (think like racial stereotypes you see very often like, the mexican gangster Sassy black friend, so on) So people just like seeing someone else who is just a regular non stereotypical character in media. Basically imagine if like, every white dude we ever saw in media 99 percent of the time was a dum hick redneck guy. That was nearly every single one of them You would appreciate the times where the white guy is just a regular dude or hero and not a constant racial caricature. No hate btw at all for you brother this is just my reasonings is all
