1. The Creature Commandos

Greatest DC superteam of all time? Greatest DC superteam of all time.

The Creature Commandos were formed out of a bunch of monsters who all hated the Nazis. So a World War Two superteam of universal horror monsters was formed and yes, that IS the best sentence I’ve ever typed or you’ll ever read.

The team consisted of Lt. Shrieve, Medusa (no, not THAT Medusa), a Frankenstein named Taylor, a Wolfman named Griffith, and a Dracula named Velcro. Wait, I’m sorry, did I actually read that right? Velcro? VELCRO??????!!!!! Sgt. Vincent Velcro. Man, with a name like that, dude’s just lucky he became a Dracula and not a shoe-themed Batman villain.

The Creature Commandos were eventually court-martialed for some unknown offense. Most likely because literally devouring the blood of your opponents is probably a war crime, Mr. Velcro. They volunteered to fly an experimental spacecraft and got lost in deep space. So yes, a World War II superteam of old-school horror monsters are lost in space in the DCU. They’ve popped up again over the years, but in my mind, they’re still cartwheeling through space, having space adventures. Because a Space-Dracula is too good an idea not to use to its fullest extent.

And so there we go, another ten insane DC characters. I could write these twice a week until I die, but they depend on your support, so if you want more, give this a like or a share; it really does help. Until then, I’ll be at San Diego Comic-Con all this week, so if you’re gonna be there too, I dunno, hit me up on Twitter, I guess? And until next time, remember not to give your kid a noun for a name unless you want his career path to be “fights Batman”.
