#56 - Actually Real Characters Created by: Karo

Arm-Fall-Off-Boy
Dogwelder
Condiment King
Codpiece
Fruit Boy
Color Kid

Here's a team created purely for stupidity and comedy, and I can get behind that concept for sporadic guest appearances. Grant Morrison might write them into a scene in Comic Book Limbo or something. Maybe Keith Giffen comes across them and throws them into an issue of Justice League for a humorous juxtaposition. Ultimately, it functions well enough for the purposes of a quick joke before moving on.

Which is to say, this team is terrible but the right kind of terrible. The kind that makes you think, "You know, that was pretty amusing." The reader might tell a friend about a scene that made them laugh in a particular issue, and that's how those sort-of underground hidden gems become made. At best, however, you've created Section Eight a la Garth Ennis in Hitman. There is such a low ceiling here that you might as well call it a floor. Super-obscure, super-limited, and super-mediocre.

Membership Drive: I wouldn't change a thing, honestly. This is a tight membership and achieves its understood goal. It's just that the understood goal is pretty much the bottom of the barrel.
