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: [thick german accent]Don’t choo play wit’ me, ho!" [/thick german accent] ---

Doctor Doom. He’s got the imperious attitude, the funky threads, experience with ordering people around, a tendency to refer to himself in the third person . . . ---

Big Daddy Doom: Impertinent wench! When Doom commands you to hand over your earnings, you hand over your earnings or you face Doom’s wrath! ---

Destro. He was wearing an open shirt with a gold chain back in the early '80s! Plus the whole shiny metal mask for extra BLING BLING! ---

Lobo - (Anti-Hero) - I know he is not a Supervillian, but I see the Main Man - having some Bitches making him some Money. Darkseid - that’s why he keeps trying to Kidnap Wonder Woman, so he can have the Wonder-Ho in his Stable.
