Last night was John Weddleton’s last Assembly meeting. Some of the Assembly members mentioned the cartoon figure that Weddleton gave them, which he thought best described them.
Forest Dunbar said this to Weddleton about the action figure Weddleton best thought fit Dunbar’s personality:
“You gave me one [jelly with Dunbar’s picture on it] that had, I think it was Galactus, who was a SUPER VILLAIN.”
Wikipedia’s description of Galactus:
“Formerly a mortal man, Galactus is a COSMIC ENTITY WHO CONSUMES PLANETS to sustain his life force…. Lee and Kirby wanted to introduce a character that broke away from the archetype of the standard villain. In the character’s first appearance, Galactus was depicted as a god-like figure who feeds by DRAINING living planets of THEIR ENERGY, and operates WITHOUT REGARD TO the MORALITY and JUDGMENTS of mortal beings.”
So Dunbar isn’t just a “standard villain” like Zaletel, Constant, and maybe some of the others, he’s a super villain who feeds by draining our living community of its energy without regard to the morality and concerns of Anchorage people.
Interestingly, Suzanne Downing said about a month ago in her podcast that Dunbar is “kind of like a monster.”
