Welcome to Villain Spotlight, where I tell you all about some of the most evil bastards you've never heard of. Today's subject, King Radical, from the popular webcomic, The Adventures of Dr. McNinja.
Radical comes from a magical world known as the Radical Land, where everything was radical, but nothing was quite as Radical as King Radical. Possessing his king motif and mad motorbike skills, King Radical left the Radical Land, apparently to avoid the one thing that can strike fear into his heart, a Unicorn named Sparklelord.
Radical came to Cumberland and took over (or formed) the local mafia. During his manipulation of a Hulk-esque supermarket owner, Radical became enemies with the titular Dr. McNinja. Probably because he blew up his office...
Since then, Radical has had fun mocking and pestering McNinja, who is driven to defeat Radical once and for all!
Which is somewhat stupid because, Radical isn't actually a bad guy. Nope, he's more of a mischevious Anti-Hero. But that, combined with his antagonistic tendencies, make him qualify for this section. McNinja is driven to take down Radical's illegal operations, even though he knows that they are beneficial to the economy of Cumberland. He refuses to be outsmarted by the tricky character...yet he always is.
So I guess the question isn't who would win in a fight between between a ninja and a pirates, it would be more like a ninja and a king.
Radical has taken over as lead villain from the comic since it's first color appearance, as it had previously had been following a storyline set up by Dracula. This storyline reached it's crowning moment of awesome by PUNCHING DRACULA! That is awesome.
As mentioned earlier, Radical's only genuine fear is a unicorn by the name of Sparklelord, who became a motorbike by entering our world as it could not contain the magnificence of his true form. The unicorn attempted to destroy Radical, driven by a similar hate as McNinja, the doctor was taken over by the love of the bike and went mad with the power it granted. Despite his being terrified, Radical managed to defeat Sparklelord by tricking McNinja into thinking it was an evil dictator and having him throw it into a portal.
As of now, Radical has yet to appear in the latest storyline, Army of One.
Incidentally, a pirate who get totally owned by a ninja. It's bloody stupid to think overwise.
