Inspired by the thread about superheroes patronizing hookers, and trying to not be so lazy about starting threads when I get an idea for one.
Now I don’t just mean having a criminal empire that probably includes prostitutes or even sex slaves like the Kingpin or the Maggia might. I mean who would be the best fly suit wearing, jive talking, 'ho running and car antennae beating street hustler in the various comic universes?
Just off the top of my head, I’d say the Joker has the wardrobe and the attitude and we know he’s crazy enough to twist a stable of girls to do his will and nasty enough to back it up.
So who would you vote for? Who’s the Archbishop Don “Magic” Juan of the four color stories? Who’s the the next Iceberg Slim of the funny pages?
The Joker would be my first choice, too.
For some odd reason, I can easily picture the Red Skull dressed up like a 70’s blaxploitation pimp, slapping a ho around cause she’s holding out on him. The dialog would be great:
