#13 – The Mannequin
The Mannequin started out as a kind of puppeteer character, sending strange creations after the heroes from the safety of his base of operations, or setting death traps – part Puppet Master part Arcade.
He kind of built up though to something more interesting, I think.
I love how Marco makes him look like Buster Keaton almost, blank faced and tragic.
I love the idea of a puppet-master type villain who’s also an avowed nihilist. And you’re right, the art complements the concept in a really interesting way, intense but still somehow blank. Very cool.
