1. Flexo
A-hem.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why? Why must my eyes be subjected to this horror? What did I do?
Ok, ok, professionalism, professionalism. I can do this.
Flexo is a ‘40s Marvel character, a rubber robot built by two brothers who fought crime and—WHY IS IT SO SCARY LOOKING????? Its eyes look straight into my soul and see my sins!!!
It’s just so unsettling. And it’s a robot made of rubber. Which means you KNOW touching it would feel so not ok. Why did they give it that face? Who’s decision was it to make the rubber robot look like a possessed toy from a horror movie? Really look deep into that things eyes and tell me it isn’t really, really, creepy. Actually, DON’T look deep into that thing’s eyes because it might actually steal your soul. I don’t know why that visual design is so so terrifying, but it makes me wanna never open this book again.
So yeah, maybe Flexo is obscure for a reason. A terrifying, unsettling, reason.
That’s it for this time. I think next I wanna go grab my Who’s Who’s out of storage and do some weird and insane DC Characters. Sounds like a fun time. Ugh, Flexo.
