Ruh Roh Rorge, the Rulk!
October 30th, 2008
Filed under: Comics
Internet stalwarts Kevin and Mike have made clear their opposition to Marvel’s use of the term “Rulk” for the new Red Hulk. But I, on the other hand, enthusiastically welcome the idea. No longer do we have to go through the arduous task of memorizing two words when one word will do. And forget about having to pronounce all those extra syllables, now you don’t have to!
I like the idea so much, I think Marvel should extend it to all their color-themed heroes and villains:
| Groblin | Blat | Silurfer |
| Rull | Blidow | Crynamo |
In fact, I think DC should copy the idea and use it themselves:
| Bleetle | Grantern | Grarrow and Blanary |
| Blevil | Crox | Rornado |
Not to mention Kirby’s own Blacer, just to name a few. Think of all the saving in time, effort, and lettering!

“Grarrow and Blanary”
That looks like it should be the name of a whiskey. ;)

Daggit, I can’t place Blat and Crox… although they sound like they’d make a super early 80’s P.I. duo!

You forgot the Scider from the Marvel line-up. And Batman the Dight from D.C.
I’ve been racking my brains and, for the life of me, I cannot think who the Crynamo or the Crox are. The Cyan Dynamo is the closest I could get and, apparently, I just made that one up.

From Marvel:
The Whiger
Purplan
Wheen
None of those sound very good, but I just had to throw out some more puzzlers. I’m also having trouble with Blat and Crox, but I have a feeling that I will be embarrassed to admit that I also can’t come up with the character Rull.

The Rornado! Bwah-ha-ha!
(Blat=Black Cat, Crox=Crimson Fox).

Crynamo would be Crimson Dynamo, an Iron Man (iMan?) villain.

It has finally happened! A SNL skit (The Road To Self-Improvement) http://snltranscripts.jt.org/93/93jroad.phtml has become reality. Maybe world of Idiocracy, is closer than we think.
—SNL- skit—
Don LaPre: That’s right. And it’s easy to fix. It’s easy to do. With my system you’ll save so much time soon you’ll be saying ‘Airport, Shmairport’.
Kevin: Why–why would I say that?
Don LaPre: You know, like, if you were late for the airport and you didn’t care because you wouldn’t be late for the airport or anything else in life because you’ll have so much extra time.

I really appreciate your restraint in not going for the obvious (to me at least) one – Superman =

Crynamo is such an awesome concept I’m totally swiping it. He’s the Emo Hero for a new millenium!

“Rornado” is a LOLCat waiting to happen.
