Season 4 Episode 71 :: Microsode – Villains Created by Heroes
As we prepare for the next big thing from Nerdy Show, it’s once again: Microsode Time. This Microsode comes at the request of Big Bad Shadow Man. He has commanded us to discuss villains whose (secret) origin is the direct result of a hero. How tragic. As if Batman’s life wasn’t hard enough!
Join Cap, Hex, Brian, Tony, and Doug and Josh from Ghostbusters Resurrection for a discussion about which dastardly schmucks make the grade across the whole of popular culture and mythology – including a few you might not expect.
Don’t forget, if you want a microsode of your own choosing – just support the show and a topic could be yours! What’s more, some generous folks have opened their topics up to community suggestion. Post yours !

One could also say Doctor Wily being created by Doctor Light through mostly jealousy.
@OmniG-Sage0 This is true.
How about Brolly, from Dragon Ball Z?
Love the episode
But also I can flex my Godzilla knowledge, Godzilla might not been created by Heroes but one Godzilla’s greatest enemies was. Destoroyah, who was created by Oxygen Destroyer the very weapon of mass destruction used to kill Godzilla a weapon so deadly, the invention Dr. Daisuke Serizawa Feared it would lead to another arms race, that he sacrificed himself as he detonated his device underwater, killing both Godzilla and the chance that his device would become a weapon. Making Serizawa not only a Hero but also making him one of the most badass scientist in science fiction.
@TheBigBadShadowMan Wow. Dang. THE MORE YOU KNOW!!
@TheBigBadShadowMan Can you REALLY call Destroyah one of Godzilla’s greatest enemies? They’ve only fought once, and during that fight Godzilla beat the living hell out of him. Yes, it’s the movie where Godzilla died, but his death was completely unrelated. Hell, Destroyah was killed by the Super X-3, making him the only Heisei monster to ever be killed by humans.
So, Destroyah has a cool design and a really great story, but he’s nowhere near the likes of King Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla.
will @Arkais I did say is one of the greatest. Also Godzilla dying was the reason why Destroyah got his ass kick, that was some Destroy Half of the World power that Godzilla was packing. Not to mention that Destroyah, King Ghidorah, and Mechagodzilla are no match to the great and powerful Charles Barkley, which is no match for Mothra the monster who has more wins over Godzilla then any one also she is a Goddess.
Charles.
Barkley.
>_<
Whyyyyyyyyyy?!?
Also @Arkais Destoroyah is considered by many to be Godzilla’s ultimate foe, a title that is only shared by a handful of other monsters, such as King Ghidorah, Gigan, SpaceGodzilla, Mechagodzilla, and Hedorah. This is due to the fact that Destoroyah could survive multiple hits from his red spiral atomic ray (although he was shown throwing up large amounts of blood), an attack which instantly killed or crippled most enemies in one shot. Also, Destoroyah had fought Godzilla, at the point of the peak of his power many times, and actually won a majority of them.
@TheBigBadShadowMan And yet he was beaten by Anguirus, 2 soldiers and a scientist.
@Arkais that is true and yet that is beside the point being one of Godzilla’s greatest enemies, keyword GODZILLA’S. The reason why Destroyah was beaten by humans is because he a weakness that humans use and Godzilla can’t.
which makes it the worlds deadliest game of rock paper scissors
So… Godzilla beats Destroyah, Humans beat Destroyah, Godzilla beats humans…
Then… humans call Mothra, Mothra (maybe) beats Godzilla?
Surprised there was no mention of either Angstrom Levine or PowerPlex from Invincible. Actually there are probably a lot of villains created by heros in that series.
No Ark quit acting like a dumb ass I keep telling you it’s not funny when you tell some one you on purpose
*tell some one are doing it on purpose
DAMN YOU DYSLEXIA
Easy there, my friend. It’s all in good fun.
Also, where can I see these fights where Destroyah actually beats Godzilla? I’d like to see how that happens. (Please don’t be novelizations… Please don’t be novelizations… Please don’t be novelizations…)
@MrJMir OH MAN! You’re so right! Invincible is rife with that. I used to read it like clockwork, but fell behind years ago and I’m so woefully behind now. Gotta get me some collections.
@Cap I tend to only read trades/collections. Cannot currently afford to visit my local shop on a regular basis. And I recently moved to an area where the shop does not have as good/broad a selection.
