That inspires the return of the Friday Flashback:
Back in May 2012 there was a strange convergence of Seattle heroes and villains in comics…and in reality. (Yes, the Emerald City has costumed superheroes!) Continue reading Seattle Superheroes in Friday Flashback

Seattle’s self-proclaimed super villain Rex Velvet is sporting new glamour shots on his Facebook page following his latest shot of mainstream exposure this week. YouTube sensation Velvet was the cover story of the Seattle Weekly.
The man who you might say “inspired” Rex’s debut was the subject of other news when a school visit ended in a hard lesson for one student. Velvet expressed his opinion about the incident on his Twitter page.
I’m choosing to share the sources so you can see the story and read in Rex’s own words.
A very good week for a “bad” guy. Lex Luthor and Norman Osborn would be impressed with Velvet I think.

Rex Velvet, the self-proclaimed “Super Villain” of Seattle is on the cover of Seattle Weekly.
Rex may be a faux villain but he’s made a real impressesion in the Emerald City and beyond. Lex Luthor might be impressed with your rise to fame and potential fortune.
In his last creation – Velvet “confronted” an alleged real hero of the movement and reissues his challenge to members of the Rain City Super Hero Movement to give up their costumes.
I literally almost ran into Rex the weekend prior in downtown Seattle. I can’t confirm but I think it was just after he filmed his latest creation. As you can see from this video I may have been spared from a cruel fate…
…since I’m kind of scared of cats anyway.
and if you recall this is how it all started…
What’s next for Rex Velvet? Stay tuned!
