The Rape of Wonder Woman: Kick-Ass and Wanted creator Mark Millar's lost comic concepts

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

The nice thing about the internet is that even if you erase all of the stupid, hateful, idiotic things you say on your forums, someone out there has hung onto it. I wanted to post a couple of his greatest hits from a few years back, maybe 06, 07, that are now lost to time. A little not safe for work googling (“rape of wonder woman mark millar” and “black down syndrome mark millar,” for instance) and bam, just as I remembered them:

“While down at the shops, I saw a black guy with [Down syndrome]. Amazing, as this is something my friends and I had queried for years. Is DS genetically localized to Caucasians. Yes, I’m now about to waste 20 mins phoning a couple of my pals to say so, but now me appetite has been whet and I’m curious if there are any Chinese or Indian Downs Syndrome people out there. Given that Scotland is almost entirely white my chances of seeing one here are slim, but I’m certainly on the look out now.”

I pitched this to DC for a laugh years back. The idea was that, like Death of Superman, we had Rape of Wonder Woman; a twenty-two page rape scene that opened up into a gatefold at the end just like Superman did.

Johanna Draper Carlson recently posted another amazing idea:

(This dislike of his work runs in the family. Back in the day, Millar pitched KC a terrible Legion proposal that included all kinds of awful ideas, like Fertile Lass, whose power was to get pregnant whenever a boy looked at her. See? Another bad taste concept that doesn’t go anywhere.)


Marc-Oliver Frisch got it right.

I cannot stand Mark Millar. I can only describe his writing as "masturbatory".
measuringcups 21st-Apr-2010 02:54 am (UTC)
I didn't really want to see Kick Ass before but now I think I'll definitely pass.
smegma 21st-Apr-2010 02:54 am (UTC)
lol this bitch

From the source

"The ending of (the comic) Kick-Ass? The one where all his heroism was for naught and he ends on a down note? That note is his father banging a black lady on the couch, his girlfriend dating a black guy and texting him pictures of her going down on him, and a little girl beating up a couple of prepubescent black thugs."

Damn. The movie almost seems tolerant compared to the comic.

I don't get why the OP posted everything except this paragraph.
icameinyoursoup 21st-Apr-2010 03:07 am (UTC)
I'm guessing because of spoilers. idk
watermeloncholy 21st-Apr-2010 03:12 am (UTC)
Okay whoa.

I'm glad Jonathon Ross' wife rewrote this thing. Wtf is wrong with this guy?

Honestly, although it gives me the heebie-jeebies to see how he's typed it out like that, it didn't strike me as being so terrible when I read it: for one thing, I didn't even consider his dad banging the black woman to be a "down note" (I thought the source of that distress was "OH SHIT I JUST WALKED IN ON MY DAD HAVING SEX DO NOT WANT EVER"); for another, Katie was never his girlfriend in the comic!, and the black guy she does end up dating is never portrayed as a bad guy--besides, I certainly don't fault her for wanting to inflict a little torment on the main character, who let her believe (and even, at times, outright stated) that he was gay for like a year in order to get super-close to her. Lol, you fail at telegraphing your intolerance, Millar. Also, like in the movie, the "prepubescent black thugs" were trying to steal Mindy's lunch money--her reaction was in character, although I guess in retrospect it would be a lot less disconcerting now (and no less effective) if at least one of them had been white.
