Tyrannosaurus Reich = Most Awesome Supervillian

en.wikipedia.org — Tyrannosaurus Reich was a supervillain featured in DC Comics' Major Bummer #5. T. Reich was pulled to earth through a dimensional portal from a dimension of Nazi dinosaurs. He briefly wreaks havoc in the downtown before being driven back to his home dimension by a housecat which changes sizes when agitated.

  • robotchuckle, on 08/01/2008, -11/+4Most awesome supervillian. Very likely. And just in time for fall.
  • HookmasterCH47, on 08/01/2008, -3/+46It doesn't want to be fed, it wants to spread fascism and create a dinosaur master race.
  • bosssmiley, on 08/01/2008, -7/+4Reminds me of Teknophage, the really odd 90s Gaiman comic with an awakened dinosaur plutocrat as the major antagonist.
    Except a Nazi dinosaur is even more awesome.

    • TopherT, on 08/02/2008, -1/+56 year olds fear national socialism?
      • DforSpiD, on 08/02/2008, -3/+1Isn't fascism the logical opposite of socialism?
      • TopherT, on 08/02/2008, -0/+4Not if you take the definition of the regime from a consequentialist view. Fascism tends to look for powerholders outside the state to keep them in power, socialism builds the state up itself. National socialism also known as the Nazi party both built up the state and co-opted and bullied outside power holders to support them. The truth is that Liberal, Conservative, Socialist, Communist, and Fascist have been so used and abused to connote different ideas that they are now essentially meaningless.
  • Thandor, on 08/01/2008, -8/+2Dinosaurs for hire would take them out in a second.
    • babykicker, on 08/02/2008, -1/+1T Reich vs. T-Rex, it would be a glorious battle. T-Rex could win without the rest of the team though, T Reich would have to bring friends.
  • jayrok, on 08/01/2008, -1/+23I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
  • mwilley, on 08/01/2008, -10/+10This somehow reminds me of the communistic superman comics.

  • EnderMB, on 08/02/2008, -9/+2"Tyrannosaurus Reich was a supervillain featured in DC Comics' Major Bummer #5"

    Forget the Tyrannosaurus, Major Bummer sounds like a fantastic superhero! He could've been like a muscular army-type Elton John character with phenomenal dress sense fighting for justice and equal marriage rights against the evil John McCain
  • afruff23, on 08/02/2008, -11/+2What's the deal with Nazi dinosaurs? Is there some meme I'm unaware of? (see: the end of Idiocracy and this Marvel comic).
    • browwiw, on 08/02/2008, -2/+3It's a DC comic, you douche.
      • afruff23, on 08/02/2008, -1/+1I thought I could avoid internet tough guy but I guess I was wrong.

        Internet tough guy = Most Awesome Supervillain
      • browwiw, on 08/02/2008, -1/+1I am not an 'internet tough guy'. I am simply the guy that informs you that you are incorrect...and that you are a douche.

        But, really, you just keep reiterating that you are douche.
      • afruff23, on 08/02/2008, -1/+1I got a comic book maker wrong and now I'm a douche? What are you, 12?
      • browwiw, on 08/02/2008, -1/+1No, you're a douche because you keep arguing with me.
  • DanPlainview, on 08/02/2008, -0/+11I'm writing the screenplay as we speak!
    • Rodalli, on 08/02/2008, -0/+5Do you find the whole process absolutely exhilarating?
  • Armagetto, on 08/02/2008, -0/+7lol, this is so awesome and random that someone posted this. Major Bummer was an incredibly funny and offbeat series that unfortunately did not last long. I picked up on it late because, well, it was the 90's and it looked like a stupid attempt to cash in on the whole generation x slacker thing that was going on. I mean, c'mon, look at the lame title: Major Bummer. However, once I finally read it I was totally hooked—it was smart, funny, twisted and the art was amazing. I would put it on par with the J.M.Dematteis/Keith Giffen run on Justice League in the late 80's. I almost cried when they canceled it.
    • bat-21, on 08/02/2008, -0/+4It sounded lame because DC Comics choose that name. The original title was Captain Slackass.
    • aterimperator, on 08/03/2008, -0/+1Well, since the comics probably aren't extremely common, the younger generation probably doesn't have the means to enjoy them. Ironically, if it hit torrents, it might boost DC's sales.
  • Br3ach, on 08/02/2008, -2/+6Where is the page for the Di-nazisaurus fighting super cat?
  • DuneZombie, on 08/02/2008, -4/+2The Tyrannasaurus Reich probably came from Mars.... on a comet... that killed all the other dinosaurs. The time-gap can be explained by a presence of a wormhole. So you see, it all makes sense chronologically. This is the real deal.
  • 28dayslater, on 08/02/2008, -3/+1Last time I checked it was shark week. Nazi shark with lasers would have been more suitable though perhaps less awesome.
  • iDoraemon, on 08/02/2008, -0/+26Tyrannosaurus Reich? That's so badass, I swear I will name my son that.

    It will be epic.
  • Quey, on 08/02/2008, -5/+3"This Thread is now..."
    "...TOTALLY AWESOME!"
  • Urbanninja622, on 08/02/2008, -6/+2Greatest. Villain. Ever
  • Rodalli, on 08/02/2008, -0/+4This is truly the find of the century. All the more epic because our scaled, epithet-tossing friend was bested by an dubiously powerful house cat!
  • LastDitchHero, on 08/02/2008, -1/+4I hear Micheal Bay has the screenplay.
  • kevL0CK, on 08/02/2008, -7/+1if he's a Nazi then why isn't he a drunken moron?
  • Lucifugerising, on 08/02/2008, -0/+5Ah Major Bummer, I remember that from when I was litlle. It's like orginal Hancock, but good.
  • FORELS, on 08/02/2008, -9/+1***** the Nazis and everyone who likes them.... buried!
    • appleseed1234, on 08/02/2008, -2/+2Unless you're over 63, I don't see why you'd be personally offended by them.
      • FORELS, on 08/02/2008, -6/+1Whatever man! Dont think i didnt have relatives fighting the war... and lots of these neo-nazis are still around... I have a brother that was paralyzed by racist skinhead nazis... So ***** you appleseed1234 bitch ass! if you love them so much go suck a nazi dick you ignorant fag...
      • JulyZerg, on 08/02/2008, -3/+2Maybe it's because they killed MILLIONS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE?
  • IronPwnage, on 08/02/2008, -2/+19A dimension of Nazi Dinosaurs


    A ***** DIMENSION OF NAZI ***** DINOSAURS. Let that just sink into how ***** awesome that ***** is and how nothing will beat it.
    • antdude, on 08/02/2008, -0/+4Probably in the next Wolfenstein game.
  • SammyStephens, on 08/02/2008, -7/+1I bet it eats all the Jewlociraptors

  • hrvat420, on 08/02/2008, -1/+2Amazing
  • lemination, on 08/02/2008, -0/+3I wish I could digg this twenty times. This is just amazing.
  • alamedaman, on 08/02/2008, -0/+7favorite part is that he was driven back by a cat (a lolcat perhaps)

    "He briefly wreaks havoc in the downtown before being driven back to his home dimension by a housecat which changes sizes when agitated."
  • zeptobyte, on 08/02/2008, -1/+11Wikipedia is so anal.. Is it really that important to provide the "correct" German for his dialogue?
    • kimmik, on 08/02/2008, -0/+6It's worse. They corrected some sentences which didn't need a correction because they are already correct....

      ----------
      Should be: "Fliegende Affen? Ich hab' das Gefühl, ich bin nicht mehr in der Kaiserzeit."
      "Hab's" is an informal contraction of "habe es" (which means "have it" not "have the"), which would be common for spoken German, though not adequate for this sentence. It's more commonly used like the English "I've got it!" (Ich hab's!) with the same possible uses.
      ----------
      WRONG! "Hab's" means "Habe das" in the sentence and is correct,


      ----------
      "Ich hab dir zugehört, mein kleiner Heuler--"
      ("I listened to you, my little whiner--")
      Should be: "Ich hab' dir zugehört meine kleine Heulsuse--" The word "Heuler" is misused. "Heuler" can be translated with "seal pup". An informal translation for whiner is "Heulsuse".
      A more corresponding translation would be:
      "Ich hab' dich gehört, du kleine Memme--" - A "Memme" is something similar to a coward but in a more "whiny" sense.
      ----------
      WRONG AGAIN! Although "Heuler" is not very common it is still properly used.
      • DaHuuuuuudge, on 08/02/2008, -0/+5Then change it. That's kinda the point of Wikipedia.
  • poisonborz, on 08/02/2008, -0/+3For more nazi carnage, watch older Star Trek episodes for a wide range of nazi aliens, which, in case of some Voyager eps, were quite dinosaur-like
  • alankem, on 08/02/2008, -2/+1Dugg for Nazi dinos.
    • DforSpiD, on 08/02/2008, -0/+8Was there really anything else to digg it for?
  • Ramenboy005, on 08/02/2008, -0/+6First to the year 1939 when Charlie Chaplin and his evil Nazi regime enslaved Europe and tried to take over the world! ... But then an even greater force emerged: The un ! And the un un-nazi'd the world! Forever!
    • appleseed1234, on 08/02/2008, -0/+2Dugg for Idiocracy's nazi dinosaurs on dday.
  • SnowflakePillow, on 08/02/2008, -0/+2This dino better be a raid boss in the upcoming DC comics MMO.
  • lazyfisherman, on 08/02/2008, -2/+0I'm amazed that everyone else is so amazed by this. There's some pretty weird, mind-bending ***** in comic books.

    That said, I had never heard of this villain before and would like to see more (and especially how the cat defeated this Nazi menace).
  • erickVee, on 08/02/2008, -1/+2the next batman villain
  • readacook, on 08/02/2008, -0/+3This reich will last a thousand beers! Oh ja!

    Ugh... I do this, and I'm Jewish.
  • PhilThePhenom, on 08/02/2008, -3/+3 If only T. Reich was really Barack Obama or a new Digg feature, this would be dugg to the top...
  • barrakuda, on 08/02/2008, -0/+5
    "The comic features T.Reich speaking some German lines. Because most of them are solecistic it is obvious they were not written by a native speaker. It is however also likely that whoever wrote this section is overly nitpicky and should travel to Germany and hear how real people speak. The author of the former sentence is warmly welcomed to Wikipedia, and it it hoped that he will enjoy his stay."

    • Arghblarg, on 08/02/2008, -0/+1Well the dino *was* from a parallel dimension, so couldn't his 'native' German be of a parallel sort? Sheesh.
  • tjlsmith, on 08/02/2008, -0/+5Major Bummer died because it was too awesome. Same as the Sabertooth Tiger.
    • JakeyG14, on 08/02/2008, -0/+4In yellow ranger the latter lives on.
    • tenspeedogbb, on 08/02/2008, -0/+1I know, it was one of my favorites too. There's good news though. On IMDB there's a page for a Major Bummer movie to be released in 2010. There's no other information on it, though. If T-Reich isn't included then it's not even worth it.
  • earlthekevin, on 08/02/2008, -1/+9I was kind of disappointed when the linked words "Nazi Dinosaur" were two seperate links
  • appleseed1234, on 08/02/2008, -0/+2Based on what you said, it sounds to me like you would have gotten along with the Nazis just fine Forels.
