The Crimson Ghost is a pre-modern villain.


Villains have been in the movies, TV and radio for decades. In the older media pieces villains were usually these over the top kind of people...Goldfinger, as one instance from the James Bond movies...the Crimson Ghost from the Republic chapter play series and the evil robber, cattle barons of the old Westerns starring John Wayne. Roy Rogers and Gene Autry to name a few of the also, over the top heroes.

I've always loved the various genre for their attempts to tell a good story using villains that seem ordinary enough on the outside, but on the inside, they're pretty nasty.

So why not combine the best of the best?

Heroes who won't stand out in a crowd.

And a villain...or is it villains?...who represent a different aspect of man...one so intent on survival of their own purpose in life that they can go to extreme we would find totally repulsive to consider. That is, those of us who are sane.
