5. The Dummy
OH, JESUS, KILL IT WITH FIRE!
Sorry, sorry, I’m good. Just…incredibly unsettled.
Ok, let’s talk about this…man? Thing? Thing-Man? The Dummy: height: 3’1â€, weight: 69 lbs (make your own incredibly juvenile joke here). The Dummy was a crime boss whose hideous features made him look like a ventriloquist’s dummy. As a crime boss, he menaced cowboy hero The Vigilante and Vigilante’s Chinese-American sidekick named Stuff. Is that racist? That feels racist. The Dummy eventually succeeded in killing Stuff, so Vigilante and Stuff’s son (presumably named “Thingsâ€) hunted him down and brought him to justice.
Oh, god, in doing extra research, I found that Stuff’s full name was “Stuff the Chinatown Kidâ€. That’s deeeeeeeeefinitely racist. I also found that there was a Vigilante film serial in the ‘40s. Wow, would not have expected to fall down this rabbit hole. Thanks, The Dummy, you horrific monstrosity, you.
