Ladies and lads, gentlemen and cads, welcome back to that segment I do where I grab an old character guide and talk about weird characters no one remembers but me. This time, we're gonna look at some DC characters.
In the "˜80s, DC published Who's Who, a handbook-esque series going over all of the characters they had at their disposal. And I have the whole series! So I grabbed the first three issues, covering the first two letters of the alphabet, and flipped through "˜em looking for weirdness. And I found some. Like, I found a lot. So let's talk about them.
These are my favorite articles to write, so I hope you have as much fun as I do as we talk about"¦

10. Angle Man
Wow, we are starting out with maybe my favorite character on this list. High bar to set right away.
The man who would one day become Angle Man was born as humble child Anglo Bend.
NOPE!
NOPE!
THIS IS TOO AMAZING ALREADY. THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH FOR AN ENTIRE ENTRY ON ITS OWN.
Anglo eventually turned to crime, always committing robberies with a unique"¦"angle". Heehee. Eventually, he realized he needed some better weaponry, so he built his new weapon: A PROTRACTOR! Ok, fine, it's actually called an "Angler" and it allows dimensional travel and force fields, but let's both be super clear on this: IT IS A PROTRACTOR. An evil protractor, sure, but a protractor nonetheless.
And to make things funnier, Angle Man is a Wonder Woman villain. Yeah, he's going up against the envoy of peace, the amazing amazon, one of the biggest badasses in the DCU. And what does he bring to fight her? A protractor. On the plus side, one of the more memorable Wonder Woman villains.
