How can you talk about *Tony Trent, the Face,* and not mention the fact that one day he just *_put the mask away_* and started being an ordinary unmasked adventure character (still headlined as "Tony Trent, the Face"), a thing no other masked character (AFAIK) ever did?
Dynamite Thor deserves his own movie. Deep down I think we've always wanted to see a superhero propelled by explosions causing mass devastation everywhere he goes. Also did anyone else try to visualize the bald eagle playing the organ?
I would have paid good money to sit in on the pitch meeting for these! Writer: Hey boss, I have an idea for a superhero, but he's pretty lame. Publisher: Screw it! Pinch off a few pages and ship it, we got best sellers drugging football players. These jackasses will read anything!
@Rawrist That was a terrific video. But I just couldn't help but notice that in your opening statement when you were going over the list of well known (DC and Marvel) superheroes who originated during the Golden Age of comics... That you had mentioned the name ''Daredevil''. I am curious as to if you were referring to the Golden Age character from Lev Gleason Publications? Who first appeared in ''Silver Streak Comics'' #6 (Sept. 1940)?
Hey Rawrist, great intertaining video as always. I am a big fan of your Golden Age Comic videos. i also wanted to ask you where you get your fanshirts from since their cuts look very lady friendly. keep up the great work and greetings from Germany. 👋
You know it's a good Rawrist video when I start talking to the screen. "Guess what his sidekick was. A bird named Raven." "No fucking way." "Guess what kind of bird it was. A bald eagle." "NO FUCKING WAY!"
My favorite short-lived good/bad superhero of the "not-as-Golden-as-people-think" Age has to be Iron Lady (Hillman Comics, 1943). Her "superpower" was a pair of mechanically-enhanced gloves that she used to crush bad guys' throats. She only had four adventures across three different titles; the first story gave an overly-detailed history of the gloves, with our heroine finally getting the things on the last page, and the final story ended with Iron Lady pushing a kid out a window to his death after he swiped the gloves from her. Not the best run. Next up: The Hunchback (Fawcett, 1941). A wealthy playboy dresses up as Charles Laughton's version of the Hunchback of Notre Dame and kills the gangsters! His get-up changed constantly across his own four adventures in Wow Comics, but usually featured misaligned eyes, crooked legs, a wicked shillelagh, and his catchphrase, "Hee hee hee! EEEYOWW!" In the Hunchback's final outing, a policeman examining the body of the corrupt district attorney our hero has strangled (man, they were big on that back in the day, weren't they) looks out the window to see Hunchy staggering off into the dawn. "There he goes, Hunchback. The greatest of us all!" Last and certainly least...Zippo (Hillman, 1943). An inventor with a pair of compressed-air-powered roller skates that--thanks to pistons running from his belt to his feet--could achieve speeds of up to SIXTY-FIVE MILES AN HOUR! WOW! Also, such a rig would have reduced his lower body to splinters of shattered bone and shredded flesh within a millisecond; he is literally his own vehicle chassis. The schmuck should've just bought a motorcycle. Incredibly, he somehow got eight dull stories before hanging up his skates.
CAPTAIN TOOTSIE!! I am in tears laughing LOL look at his facial expression on the cover. He is so serious with that name HAHAHA!! Please do the other Silver and others too. I love your comic videos. I still go back and watch the Baby Superman video at least 3 times a month lol
A grown man with children following him around..... hmmmm...? Sounds like Michael Jackson. BTW the Face was actually a cool comic! The redesigned character (project: superpowers) is awesome.
You forgot the best superhero...the rawrist subscriber. With a liver on par with Cersi Lannister this hero is able to drink enough to forget that last year happened...seriously another good video. Thank you
Rawrist, that bald-eagle name Raven was obviously one of Bran's. Sometimes he took control and it was intelligent, sometimes he was off doing stuff like eating blood oatmeal and it was just a stupid bird. "Corn!"
Okay, I don't know if Captain Tootsie counts as a Superhero, he was more like a mascot for a product. He is a Superhero as much as Chester Cheetah, Tony the Tiger, Ronald McDonald, or Cool Spot...
@@Rawrist I'm going to be writing my own independent comics and I'll have a blast using these ridiculous Golden Age public domain characters! By the way,you should have mentioned Six Gun Gorilla in this clip,too(and he's exactly what he sounds like,a cowboy gorilla with revolvers).
I'm going to be writing my own independent comics and I'll be using all of these stupid public domain Golden Age characters! I'm really looking forward to using them-especially Captain Tootsie(who Erik Larsen has also used in his Savage Dragon comics).
That was great. Captain Tootsie? Really? He and the Clown should have teamed up. They could have used a panel van for their vehicle. The only problem is that they would have to inform their neighbors wherever they set up their hideout. Is Herbert from Family Guy like the old man version of one of these guys? I can't believe that this actually existed! I bet the V on Puppeteer is the Roman numeral for Beethoven's 5th. Anyway keep it up.
I can imagine Captain Tootsie having been caught and tied up by his greatest female adversary. She cackles: "I wonder how many licks it'll take to get to your chocolatey center?"
You know, if he eats as many Tootsie Rolls as it would seem he does, the flavor probably does come through in, um, what she would get as a result of many licks. I happen to know that many flavors do, including chocolate and mint. Do videos get demonetized as a result of what people say in the comments...?
Honestly, as absolutely brain meltingly stupid as these heroes are, it just goes to show that the difference between a cool superhero and a lame one may just come down to execution, like Batman. By description, could have easily been a lame and stupid hero.
I'm half convinced at least some of these were done as jokes by cynical guys giggling between themselves, "people will buy any kind of junk. It doesn't matter". I think with some of these they were just amusing themselves to see how far and what they could get away with. They really are kind of fun surreal goofs. "THE EYE"...holy moley! Sounds like fun...or something. Thanks for the video!
Mentioning Daredevil as a GA hero in the beginning. Technically true but probably needs more explanation. It this really your list or are you reading someone else’s?
Im confused, This was published today 9th Jan, but there's comments on this video from 3 month ago? You're either a time traveler or youtube is fucked......again......for a change.
Pretty sure Captain Tootsie was sponsored by the Tootsie Roll company, hence his stupid gimmick. As for the Puppeteer, I read an account that he was originally a hero called V-Man (for Victory) but his creator got fired by the company. So he went to another company, gave his character a new name--- even one that didn't fit-- and started all over again.
"I'm a doctor who hunts vampires, so I'll call myself Dr. Vampire! And because my medical specialty is removing tumors, I'll call myself Dr. Tumor! That's a name you can trust, right?"
Are you going to stick to the heroes for the other comic eras, or are we going to hear about some of the stupidest villains and supporting characters too?
My golden age superhero name shall be Justice Baker! Because I am a baker ... of justice! And my real name is Justice Baker. And my day job is baking. And my uniform shall have a gigantic letter E in the front ... having nothing to do with J or B or anything I do or stand for.
I hate to be one of THOSE people, but the trivia junkie in me is forcing me to post this. As for the Puppeteer, the V standing for victory actually makes SOME sense - for the time. In mourse code, 's' and 't' wee used during the was as shorthand for 'victory'. and when typed out on a telegraph, (...-) it sounds like the opening of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.
Who is that beast boy looking character on your shirt? Can't be hulk because hulk is also on the shirt. Can't be Doc Samson or She Hulk there would be a ponytail.
The eye..the face...glad they did not go more south with the hero body parts... Anyway fun and informative vid as always, brightens up my day every time. :)
I have a question: why all those classic super heroes (like the ones behind her) all look like body builders and have all their manhood features exagerated?
Nah man, no one ever heard about that one. Probably never took off. You are right though, weirdo indeed, hopefully he didn't involve anyone else in his escapades.
The Face; A radio personality, makes sense with a face like that Also, did The Eye just wink at me, or was that just a blink? Bad idea are confusing, but fun!
10:07 Like Justin Right, Will Eisner's The Spirit also wore a suit & tie for his superhero attire...and a domino mask instead of a kerchief...and a cool looking fedora
That "Dr. Jew" example will 100% not age poorly or be taken out of context by someone doing a Clickbait list of UA-cam controversies! Snark aside... That was a REALLY bad example.
How can you talk about *Tony Trent, the Face,* and not mention the fact that one day he just *_put the mask away_* and started being an ordinary unmasked adventure character (still headlined as "Tony Trent, the Face"), a thing no other masked character (AFAIK) ever did?
The Puppeteer? The V definitely stood for Virgin
Roman numerals, Beethoven's fifth powered his flight, didn't it? :p
@@MrDagren The reason for the V is that the opening notes to Beethoven's 5th - da, da, da, daah - is the Morse Code for the letter V ( . . . -)
@@ianharrison3662 Hey, someone else knows the thing! And how BBC opened their broadcasts with it in WWII to signify "V" for "Victory."
Dynamite Thor deserves his own movie. Deep down I think we've always wanted to see a superhero propelled by explosions causing mass devastation everywhere he goes.
Also did anyone else try to visualize the bald eagle playing the organ?
"Honey, I'm going out for a beer!" *BOOM BOOM KABOOM BOOM*
Bakugou from boku no hero
Dynamite Thor is essentially if Michael Bay created a superhero, blowing shit up wherever he went.
Doctor Vampire sounds like he was killing hobos then claimed they were vampires.
I would have paid good money to sit in on the pitch meeting for these! Writer: Hey boss, I have an idea for a superhero, but he's pretty lame. Publisher: Screw it! Pinch off a few pages and ship it, we got best sellers drugging football players. These jackasses will read anything!
Can you imagine a cinematic universe with these characters?
Please....please someone make this happen!
You get funnier and funnier Rawrist.
Straight belly-laughed all the way through Captain Tootsie lmfao!
Who else is one of the sickos Rawrists doesnt want on her channel? anyone? Just me?
11:51 or maybe one time he accidentally placed on the blindfold the wrong way, and proceeded to stumble blindly into an open manhole.
You have brought sarcasm to the status of an art form. I am in awe.
Hi Rawrist. I always enjoy these videos, and not just because of the 🍷🍹🥃🍻🍺🍸🥂🍾
Whoa, that's a lot of alcohol....sign me up.
no amount of booze will help these heroes though.

Captain Tootsie is currently seen in the pages of Savage Dragon at Image Comics (issue 241 onward).
BREAKING NEWS! Rawrist confirms she was a child as she feel nostalgic for a toy!
Adults can love playing with toys, you racist!
@@Rawrist Ummm, ageist, please.
super funny and interesting video. Rawrist is a total heartthrob
Hey Rawrist, great intertaining video as always. I am a big fan of your Golden Age Comic videos. i also wanted to ask you where you get your fanshirts from since their cuts look very lady friendly. keep up the great work and greetings from Germany. 👋
in the description it says the video is too long... silly rawrist! no such thing as a rawrist video that is too long :D.
Awww :P
Your version of Dr. Vampire actually sounds like a CW show.
Good thing I'm not a delicate muffin. I'm more of a dense bran muffin. Wrap a note around me and throw me through a police station window.
lmao...this comment was so perfect.
You know it's a good Rawrist video when I start talking to the screen.

Just binge watched a shitload of your videos. Subscribed. Fuckin’ brilliant.
"The Clown"
The Joker, ...." Here Batman , hold my beer, HA HA HA ha!!!!"
videos like this is why I freaking love you rawrist
Awww 💗💗💗
💗💗💗
You mean V as in the Roman numeral for 5? kinda works with the 5th symphony thing but still stupid XD
I love your enthusiasm for comics, even the terrible ones. Thank You
"Wow, that heroin makes me extra energized", said no heroin conoissieur ever.
CAPTAIN TOOTSIE!! I am in tears laughing LOL look at his facial expression on the cover. He is so serious with that name HAHAHA!! Please do the other Silver and others too. I love your comic videos. I still go back and watch the Baby Superman video at least 3 times a month lol
Maybe Steve Rogers should have been called Captain Bully, because he hates bullies no matter where they come from..
I love golden age superheroes. Some of them got a reboot but they should all get modern versions of themselves
A grown man with children following him around..... hmmmm...? Sounds like Michael Jackson. BTW the Face was actually a cool comic! The redesigned character (project: superpowers) is awesome.
You forgot the best superhero...the rawrist subscriber. With a liver on par with Cersi Lannister this hero is able to drink enough to forget that last year happened...seriously another good video. Thank you
This has me dying omg
Watching this I question why I liked comics as a kid. Thank you for destroying childhood.
If I can't destroy your childhood, what is my purpose? :)
really funny stuff .... looking great rawr
Bouncer also has the power of drag.
I had no idea that it could get that bad. Genuinely the funniest thing I've seen all day. I'm still dying over dynamite thor lmfao
Rawrist, that bald-eagle name Raven was obviously one of Bran's. Sometimes he took control and it was intelligent, sometimes he was off doing stuff like eating blood oatmeal and it was just a stupid bird. "Corn!"
I see the Captain Tootsie ads when reading older comics, but I didn't realize he had his own comic.
How dare you Rawrist, my father was killed by delicate muffins!!
Okay, I don't know if Captain Tootsie counts as a Superhero, he was more like a mascot for a product. He is a Superhero as much as Chester Cheetah, Tony the Tiger, Ronald McDonald, or Cool Spot...
I love your videos. Such a great channel!
Boy, I want to get off my ass in various ways and make comics!
Do it!
@@Rawrist I'm going to be writing my own independent comics and I'll have a blast using these ridiculous Golden Age public domain characters!

He just wanted them to figure out how many licks gets them to the center. D:
They never make it without biting.

I think half the execution issue with the heros on the list is effort in creativity and contempt for the audience as they are writing for children.
Was the bouncer an influence on Ditko's Speedball?
All of these hero's should join forces and form a very crappy super hero group. They can call them selves "The Inadequates" or "The Subpar Squad".
The Clown sounds awsome! Knockout Juggle Ball attack!

Captain Tootsie looks like Captain Triumph. Maybe it was a rough draft.

Now that I think about it...sign me up!
hell yeah :D
Mentioning Daredevil as a GA hero in the beginning. Technically true but probably needs more explanation. It this really your list or are you reading someone else’s?
Can't wait for the inevitable Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Doctor Vampire crossover.
I like the number 8. Kinda lovecraftian. Not sure if it is in the comics but it reminded me of Lovecraft, and thats always cool.
Obviously, Just'n'Right learned his lesson and adopted the cape and cowl and renamed himself...

Captain Tootsie has nothing on Combo Man
At least Captain Tootsie didn't drive a van...
You really did your research on this. Well done!
Love your jokes and this Cpt. Tootsie ;p
Tomasz Przybył sounds like Popeye, but with something kids actually want to eat.
You could have said Dr. Puppy or Dr. Blonde. ANYTHING.
Dr Vampire: Curing the world of vampires!
Be honest, if the eye asked you to join his network of crime fighters would you join up?
Pretty sure Captain Tootsie was sponsored by the Tootsie Roll company, hence his stupid gimmick.
As for the Puppeteer, I read an account that he was originally a hero called V-Man (for Victory) but his creator got fired by the company. So he went to another company, gave his character a new name--- even one that didn't fit-- and started all over again.
The Bouncer was created by the late, great Robert Khaniger.
Captain Tootsie is the CEO of NAMBLA.

I thought the dude you call the puppeteer was the hero
called v man?
yay more comic stuff!

Captain Tootsie was reborn as Michael Jackson!
9:30= Snort some blow and drawing panels as your job???? I would have LOVED to have been a cartoonist in the 1940s
I thought DareDevil was created in the Silver Age.
10:07
Like Justin Right, Will Eisner's The Spirit also wore a suit & tie for his superhero attire...and a domino mask instead of a kerchief...and a cool looking fedora
This reminds me of "The Gallery of Regrettable Heroes." Uncanny.
I have that book.
Who published these?
*Hands out tootsie rolls*
Lol, nice list. I love golden age comics but will never own any of these.
That "Dr. Jew" example will 100% not age poorly or be taken out of context by someone doing a Clickbait list of UA-cam controversies!
Snark aside... That was a REALLY bad example.
What about Mister Whiskers?
These heroes suck they would never survive against a real villian
Comic book science especially in the golden age isn't spose to make sense.
Let your hair down for an episode please young miss rawrist. It's always up it would interesting to see it down.
I can't wait for Joss Whedon to tackle the Captain Tootsie movie.
