Profiles in Villainy

Skullmaster

The fiendish and tyrannical Skullmaster is an ancient and powerful warlock from the dawn of history.  His cunning, savagery and relentless lust for power led to the destruction of his native Lemuria.  He then destroyed Atlantis before ultimately being defeated by the mythical Mighty One.  

Following his defeat, Skullmaster was imprisoned deep within the earth, guarded by the Lava Lord.  Although it took him thousands of years to do so, Skullmaster ultimately conquered the Lava Lord and took control over the lord’s army of lava minions.  Finally returning to the surface, Skullmaster found a strange, modern world and quickly resumed his campaign to conquer all of existence.  His reemergence triggered the return of the Mighty One who this time took the form of a boy named Max.  

Young Mighty Max would go on to battle  Skullmaster and the villain’s various evil colleagues.  Ultimately Mighty Max triumphed and the villainy of the Skullmaster was ended once and for all.  

“Curry Rush”

Can you recognize all of the Curry characters in that last panel?

I’m kind of bummed that I didn’t allow more space for the Grand Wizard from “The Worst Witch”.

There is one character of his that I refused to draw in that last panel. I’ve drawn that one way too many times already.

On episode 190 of Toon Talk Weekly, Jake and Brad talk about tiny toys and head back to the 90s to watch an episode of the series “Mighty Max.”

Mighty Max is an American sci-fi and action series that aired from 1993 to 1994. The series had a total of 2 seasons and 40 episodes and it’s main aim was to promote the British line of Mighty Max toys; an outgrowth of the Polly Pocket line.

The series follows Max, an adventurous preteen boy who becomes the cap-bearer and must protect Earth. Along with Virgil, an anthropomorphic fowl, and Norman, his Viking bodyguard, Max must travel the world and defend against the minions of Skullmaster.
