2. Catman
Well, I'll chalk this one up to "I never thought this was ever gonna happen in a million years."
In fact, when I first saw it pop up on Twitter, I thought it was a custom. But it isn’t; it’s real. I own one. He’s sitting on my desk staring back at me while I type this.
Thomas Bake was introduced in 1963 as a big game hunter who grew bored with that life and turned to crime as a supervillain. He picked the Cat theme, and seriously pissed off Catwoman when she started being implicated for his crimes. Catman got beaten down pretty bad a couple of times and retired, growing fat and sad in the subsequent few years. He popped up again, only for Green Arrow to humiliate him and leave him beaten down again. This left Cats at rock bottom, and he went back to Africa and got in hella shape. This was about the point where he started appearing in the cult hit hidden gem series Secret Six, a role that landed him a ton of love.
Lego Catman sports his Secret Six design, even using the short-eared Batman mask piece (it’s a smart move to change his silhouette from the Dark Knight).
