It's once again time for random fun facts! Woohoo! Tonight's subject, Savage Dragon.
Savage Dragon was originally created by Erik Larsen during his childhood. Back then, he was a combination between characters such as Speed Racer, Hulk, Batman and the sort...Yes.
Dragon is most famously an officer of the law, even though he's had other occupations, but he hasn't weilded a gun in quite some time. Larsen had an excuse, but I forgot.
Dragon had his own cartoon series, and by what I've seen it wasn't that bad. The bad guys were there, the setting was there, and the bad guys are there. And I haven't heard Larsen talk about it with disgust, so that's pretty good. To make a long story short, it didn't last very long. And be was voiced by Jim Cummings (DarkWing Duck)which I just don't think is a very good choice.
I still think Larsen gets a CMoA for going off at a fan who claimed he was selling out by changing the setting of the book. And this guy wasn't just saying, 'Shame on you,' he was full guy was just infuriated, he was talking about how the book is a laughing stock, how Dragon has been turned into a wimp, and how he feels ashamed to have ever respected Erik. Cue one ass kicking rebuttel.
Larsen sounds like Bruce Campbell.
This seems to be a bit more about Larsen than Dragon, isn't it?
In a fight between Savage Dragon and Savage Dragon, the winner would be Savage Dragon...No, really, check out Issue 156.
Dragon fans love Avatar. Mainly because now they can have an awesome looking Savage Dragon film one day.
The most famous issue of Savage Dragon features God punching out Satan and saying "Don't f*ck with God!" This would be awesome for christians, except it's God from the Spawn universe, who like Satan, is evil.
Dragon is a one-man police force. He can knock down buildings with his might. He can rip criminals apart with his bare hands. He can also raise two kids and write a bestselling book.
There is a Savage Dragon precurser in the Marvel universe. He has the fin and basic shape of the herop we know now. Unfortunatley he's completley unimportant to the universe and has made like two appearances. Fans have dubbed him something like Savage Swampman or something, or Savage Fin.
Dragon has been considered for a live action series. Looking at it...yeah, they could probably get away with all this using prosthetics and stuff. That could work.
One of the series most popular characters, Powerhouse, is super powerful man with...Am I reading this right? No, I don't believe it. He's a super powerful man with a...chicken head.
