Savage Vandal (82 Street Vandals Book 1)

Product Information

While it's never stated explicitly, it's very likely that Savage needs to consume or transplant the organs and flesh of close relatives, as after so many generations, normal people that are descended from him would be to dissimilar to count. Sole Surviving Scientist: He ends up the sole surviving scientist in the episode "Hereafter" from Justice League. He also brags about having known the actual Jesus, telling Ray in a Christmas note that "FYI — Today was not his birthday. The Blackbeard example above is worth further mention, since Edward Teach (the actual historical Blackbeard) was shown to exist in pre- Crisis continuity. The visual appearance of Kru'll and some of his personality traits and methods are inspired by the Captain Marvel villain King Kull.

Having lived since the dawn of mankind, Vandal believes in the "survival of the fittest" ideology, thinking that humanity would "evolve" if they weren't in the protected lifestyle they live in, and to that end, he aspires to become ruler of mankind and defeat the Justice League and the Team, seeing them as the main obstacles in his goals. She refuses because a) he likely wants them simply as a Guinea Pig Family, and b) she's a lesbian anyway. Savage also appears in the Arrow and Flash crossover episodes "Legends of Today" and "Legends of Yesterday". That said, one storyline featured him slowly dying from an illness that not even his immortality could save him from. The Aggressive Drug Dealer: When he was manufacturing and distributing Velocity 9, a drug that granted super-speed at the cost of burning out the user's body.The Maya were still a viable empire during the time of the conquistadors, which may be when Knox encountered them.

He has placated some of the more willful of the females (like Phobia and Cheetah) by promising each of them that they will be his queen when he rules the planet. He also admitted he's sired hundreds of children over the centuries and during those centuries he's never cared for a single one.Whether this is another case of Savage lying like with Cheops, or whether the Crisis switch resulted in him overwriting Edward Teach as Blackbeard, is never really made clear.

Vandal has even claimed to have actually been many other feared figures from history, including Vlad The Impaler, Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar, Blackbeard and Jack The Ripper. Obviously Evil: He's a large, menacing presence, dresses in anything that evokes Aristocrats Are Evil, and is almost always sporting some manner of Psychotic Smirk. It helps that he's of Cro-Magnon origin, and that Genghis Khan was said to be one of his conquering aliases in history.Seen It All: Having lived as long as he has, in a universe as bizarre as the DC universe can get, this does tend to happen. Knox also revealed that he was Jack the Ripper, a mysterious figure who murdered five prostitutes in in the Whitechapel District of London in 1888.
