Even in the Harley Quinn show where he's a joke to almost everyone, Kite Man still takes it all on the chin and strives to be the best person he can be. He was born powerless while his parents have superpowers, but he still feels like he can be something and makes his own power. When he finds out that Ivy cheated on him with Harley, he stands up for himself and calls off the wedding, knowing that she wouldn't be happy with him, and that he deserves better than her. Then in the next season when they meet again, he holds no ill will towards her and even cheers up Harley when she's in a bad place. He even finds a new happy relationship with Golden Glider, and in her conversation with Ivy, we learn that Kite Man puts the needs of those he cares for in front of himself. There's a reason why he's the fan favorite of the show.

But at the same time... it's kind of funny, in a twisted way, isn't it? You've reached the end of your rope. You have double, triple, quadruple crossed every side in this damned war that's tearing apart your city. You have caused an unmitigated disaster in a situation where you were just trying to stop it all; you just wanted your son to be able to grow up, safe and happy! And so, your boss tells you that enough is enough. You strap a bomb to your chest of his design, and march yourself to the hero who everybody in the city is supposed to trust. The one who failed to stop this war. You are angry. You are sad. You are so, so incredibly tired. You are broken. You just want this war to end. You want your son to walk away from this- even if he thinks you're the worst, that you'll end up in hell when you die. You don't care. So long as he lives, you can make peace with that. You stand before the hero, accept your death, and hit the switch. "What goes 'Ha, ha, thump'? A man laughing his head off." You are alive. You will see your son again tomorrow. Your boss, renowned across the world- across continuities- for his wanton cruelty, for his callous disregard of life, for his insanity- has made you a joke of a suicide bomber. ...Personally, I think that's one of the greatest jokes that he's ever played.

I remember hearing about Polka-Dot Man way back when, and I thought "this guy's a complete loser!" Then James Gunn changed my perspective by making Polka-Dot Man have a better backstory, better powers, and a personality that befits his experiences. You think that changing all that would make a different character, but it somehow feels like a Polka-Dot Man that I could see in a modern comic.

He probably says "Hell yeah" every time because in the slight chance that his son is in hell, he'll be there for him. So he keeps on saying that word to ensure that he goes to hell.

This is a lesson for any prospective storytellers. There's no such thing as dumb, unworkable ideas. If something you came up with is cringe, your challenge as a writer is to use your creativity skills to come up with a way to make it interesting, and perhaps even relatable. If Kite Man can become a compelling character, any character can with the right writer behind them.

Kiteman was used as Plastic man's arch nemesis in the Batman: Brave and the Bold cartoon, and its honestly fitting considering that kiteman is an evil mirror of plastic man in a similar way to how Batman's rogues are to batman. He and Plastic man are both former goons who are taken as jokes despite being surprisingly dangerous characters, but where Plastic man had a change of heart and decided to become a hero, Kite man's determination was tainted by his own stubbornness and he instead turned evil.

The first half had me rolling my eyes and then the second half with the Ballad of Kiteman kicked in and I was like "okay, yeah, I see it now". Kite man. Hell yeah.

I want to add some extra war of Jokes and Riddles context because I think it makes Kite Man even better. At the end of the war its revealed that basically everything was planned by the Riddler (because comic book genius) from the beginning of the war to its ending with Kite Man defeating the Riddler (his reasons for this are weird but long story short Joker had stopped laughing and the Riddler took it as a challenge). This means that all of Kite Man's suffering, the death of his son and the creation of his new identity, was constructed by the Riddler with the purpose of making the Joker laugh. In the comic we even see this break Batman himself, the futility of all the violence and suffering prompting him to try to kill the Riddler (sidenote I know a lot of people dislike Tom King Batman but I love it and I think the War of Jokes and Riddles is absolutely worth a read). So does Kite Man break? Does he see that his new identity was constructed to make the Joker laugh? Does he fall when he realises his beloved son dies to make the Joker laugh? No. He takes the identity, he remains Kite Man. After the war (chronologically after, it happens in earlier comics in our world but the war is a flashback) he still runs around as Kite Man committing crimes with the catchphrase Hell Yeah. Maybe the Riddler did construct him as something so absurd the Joker would have to laugh, but he made the name and the catchphrase his.

Kite-Man's given name is Charles Brown. He's literally Charlie Brown, flying his kite despite any kite-eating tree that life might throw in his path. That's why his relationship with Poison Ivy was doomed from the start: Ivy is the Kite-eating Tree and the Red-headed Girl all wrapped into one.

Deep down, we all love goofy villains. In my opinion, every villain started out as a ridiculous villain. Lex Luthor was just a bald evil scientist, but still, he was and is big blue's greatest rival, Magneto really started out as your generic villain who makes the stupidest decisions even though he has incredible power, and yet, we still got to a great villain, with believable and understandable motivations, but unjustifiable methods. Obviously there are villains who started out fearsome from day one, like the Joker as a ruthless killer or the Red Skull being... a German general from WWII, but I hope my point is understood. And on the other side of the spectrum, there are the goofy villains, who stay goofy. Maybe they're ridiculous villains and through that ridiculousness a tragic story is told, or maybe they're a villain who wants to be taken seriously but never quite gets around to it. The truth is, they are all valid as villains. From the fearsome Dr. Doom to Paste-Pote-Pete, and of course, Kite-Man, they all deserve to be considered villains, loved and feared alike.

Fionn ‘Spud’ Murphy was once just a regular son of a lineage of farmers, who alongside his elder sister, Orla, wanted to pursue greater things in the city, coming to disagreements with their family over taking over the farm. Spud studied as an engineer while Orla went into botany. However, during the time they really got into their work, their family’s crop turned useless due to a plague. Despite disagreement, they of course, loved their family, and thus sent technology and modified seeds and advice to help them out. However, as years passed, their crop consistently could not be used, droughts, floods, the worst kept coming. Even worse, the government gave minimal, near useless help to assist them through these terrible times. Thrown into poverty, the family had to sell off the farm and struggle to look for employment in the current times, only subsidised by the two siblings. However, Orla came down with lung cancer, and due to the high medical bills, the family was thrown into greater destitution. But Fionn, saw everything, how the government didn’t care about his family, how the public and workplace elitism looked down on his farming family despite keeping the country fed, how the doctors and pharmacies drained his sister dry all while she tried to survive. His mind was fracturing, he couldn’t afford therapy, he had no available support network, and he broke. Desperate, he turned to crime, all to give his loved ones a life they deserved. A second layer to this villainy came in the form of his guilt at his past. Perhaps if he stayed behind, if he was with them, his family could have avoided poverty, he could have helped find help amongst his hometown better, but he didn’t. So to make up for that, he would dedicate his villainy to the main crop they grew, potatoes, to fight for the farmers crushed by government negligence in his own flawed way, and perhaps one day, he could denounce the suffering his fellow farming brethren have gone through. As Potato Man, he would one day bring the criminal empire under his command, even if he was a laughing stock. Perhaps, his small efforts could change the world.

I like how you bring up Kite Man's persistence from 3:20 to 4:55. Something I've noticed is that the portrayals of most villains (particularly Batman's) usually go from 0 to 60. Meanwhile, Kite Man learned and improved with each appearance, making his character in the New 52 feel more natural.

It's stories like Kite-Man's that really show just how shitty Batman's no kill rule can be sometimes. Like the last thing you want to hear after your son was murdered is the person who indirectly caused it say he'll catch the person who did it and lock them up, like that's gonna stop him from escaping again for the thousandth time.

Hey fun fact, Batman literally tried to kill Riddler for this by the end of this arc. Like, that's not a joke or anything - Batman was fully prepared to break his one rule, all for the sake of avenging Kite-Man's son. I just thought that was something you would like to know.

God I fucking love Kiteman. I hope more villains get the Kite Man treatment cause they 100% deserve it.

I really needed this video. I recently re-read the King batman run featuring this character and i loved him so so much

Even the utmost wacky villains can be quite the layered charatcers that’s what makes them so endearing to me that and their utter goofyness.

Ain't it ironic that poison kills his son and yet in the Harley Quinn show he is *literally* dating "Poison Ivy" - nice character development there, Kite Man... Hell yeah.

Always heard the praises for Kite Man, never knew he had this sorta depth to his character; once again a very enlightening video Alex

There's an appeal with these obscure, C-list villains. That being, you can re-invent them in a very interesting direction as there's little to go on beforehand. Kite Man is a perfect example of this

following up the ultimate comics video with this masterpiece with less than a month between each is damn impressive

Kite Man. Hell yeah.

I enjoy seeing so many of IHE's legitimate hated content systematically prove itself to be way better than he presented it as.

@@trashman3319 a hypocritical movie reviewer that is. In his review of suicide squad he said "if you love this movie with acknowledging its flaws then you have no idea what a good movie is". This implies that we should look into each objectively good and bad thing in a flick even if we enjoyed. However, in his review of the last jedi he turned 180 degrees saying that "what is art reallllyy? Everything is an opinion so whatever maaaan". When it's a film he hates we should be objective but when it's a film he loves we should be subjective???? I do agree that he was an absolute clown in his first days of youtube tho.

Thank you lord for making alex making this video!

He is literally Mumen Rider from One Punch Man turned supervillain and is somehow just as successful

It's very fitting that he's named Charlie brown since they both always bounce back when they're suffering

KITE MAN, HELL YEAH!!!

Thanks to the fine folks behind the scenes of the Harley Quinn animated show, not only am I familiar with Kite-Man (Hell Yeah), but the love that version of him and after watching your Batman video... well, here I am. So, thank you! Also, I appreciate that the respect you put on Kite-Man's (Hell Yeah) name.

Kite Man really is a great villain, and I've been a firm believer of that since I first watched the Harley Quinn series. He's genuinely in my top 3 favorite characters in that show, and there are so many good characters in that show to compete with.

I clicked on this by accident and didn’t regret it, lol.

Check out his other stuff, it's beautiful.

Gotta love it when they finally give the obscure the villain the backstory and love they truly deserved.

Hell yeah! Kite Man is the best supervillain. My favorite part about Kite Man is that during one of his heists, one of his henchmen actually ended up falling into an vat of mysterious chemicals, turning that guy into the best superhero, Plastic Man. Without Kite Man, their would be no Plastic Man. And that's only one of the reasons he is so great! (Also for those wondering, I got this information from "Batman: the Brave and the Bold". It was a show I watched when I was young and the Kite Man / Plastic Man thing is one of thw few things i remeber about it. If your curious look it up.).

Kite man , Hell yeah!

This is on the same level as saying Billy Stick-up, who did two years for trying to rob a Dollar Store, is a brilliant criminal mastermind because, when he finally got out on parole, he immediately went to rob that same Dollar Store again. And got arrested again. And then did it again.

Kite man says hell yeah in his desire to be closer, both in imitating his son, and his hope of being reunited with his son.

I loved the part where kite man said, "Its kite man time, hell yeah" and proceeded to kite man hell yeah all over the place
