Your Weekend Moment of Psychic Nosebleed Zen: Virtual Bob

March 7th, 2009

Filed under: Comics, Medicine

scene from Backlash #5

The villainous Virtual Bob (yep, that’s his name) is trying to use a virtual reality program to drive Marc Slayton (Backlash) insane. Instead, Slayton turns the tables on him and uses the program to take control of Virtual Bob’s mind.

Seriously — Virtual Bob? Did he really think that was a good name? It’s an MMOPRG gesture, not a name. Frankly, There aren’t really that many awe-inspiring comic book characters who go by “Bob.” There’s Sideways Bob from DV8…and…and….hmmm. Well, there’s Bob the lizard from Grimjack. At least he’s cool.

    Hey!!

    BOB, AGENT OF HYDRA,
    from the Deadpool series is really awe-inspiring… and annoying, too.
    Cool? No, definitely not.

    There was Bob the Monitor from er… Countdown… Huh.

    In slightly less pathetic series, there was Borb Borbb from L.E.G.I.O.N., which is kind of close enough. He could fight people successfully.
