What does Anon Babble think of the Liquidator?

I'm sure there were other ways to defeat him like having his company lose money but I suppose him being op isn't wrong

love him before and after

He had a second solo outing in the comics, too, where he was turning citizens into water via tainted soft drinks and fusing them together into a giant monster.

Aside from outright taking away his powers, the best you can really do is basically convert his water form into something solid and immobile. And he's not like Hydroman who's explicitly too stupid to grasp how powerful he is, Liquidator was equally capable as fighting in gaseous form as he was in liquid. Although I always felt the real reason they didn't want to give him another full episode was how he spoke in nothing but slogans and corporate speak, and it was getting mind numbing trying to fill every single line like that without someone for him to bounce off of.

They could've had his next episode be after he was hardened in concrete but that wouldn't be as visually interesting

I can see it

He's probably more successful than Hydro-Man in that he's regularly part of Darkwing's Fearsome Five but Morrie is lucky to show up in Spider-Man books or adaptations

I mean the Liquidator is also in Darkwing Duck books and adaptations but Hydro-Man is probably in more Spider-man books

Main issue is that most stories with water elementals give those guys a weakness in that if you spread them too far out they can't keep their coherence, meaning that dropping them into the ocean in water form or turning on a fan in vapor form will take care of them. Bud Flood doesn't have that weakness. You basically need to trap his liquid form either physically or chemically to get any proper results. Which does mean if the writers ever felt cheeky they would probably have just had Darkwing hurl a box of jello mix at Liquidator and then trapped the horrified jiggling desert man inside a bowl to be transported to prison.

Pretty sure they did do literally that in one episide

Might as well just retcon him into having a weakness

You posted a man

He still made out better than Camille, Cement Head, Bugmaster and Dr Fossil. I wish they could've gotten a couple more appearances even if it was only team ups like Liquidator got.

Liquidate these NUTS

True

Both of them should team up

She

Didn't they also say his commercial jargon speak was too cumbersome to write for?

The Disney Adventures comic Liquid Diet was written by the guys who did his debut episode and the dialogue plays out well enough that I think it was originally intended to be an actual episode. It entails Liquidator re-entering the beverage business with DW convinced it's a trap. And he's right, drinking it turns people into puddles of water Liquidator can control. Eventually DW gets puddled but Honker makes a chemical that gives him autonomy over his own form just like Licky. The problem is Honker eventually makes an antidote to the enpuddling and uses it to cure everyone, and then solidifies Liquidator with something different, which halts his escape. But I'm guessing the question came up that if Honker makes an antidote to waterbodies, why in hell does he not use it on Liquidator and remove a supervillain from causing mayhem entirely?

I know I already read it. Doesn't the antidote just make Liquidator stiff?

I want him to drown me.

Really fun character with great dialogue but clearly way overpowered. He has similar problems that I have with Clayface. This is likely why he only got one solo episode and always only showed up among the Fearsome Four/Five

Guess it's one of those cases of "too little too late" where the cure would have only worked had it been shortly after his mutation

If you don't know, don't even bother to ask. It just bumps a thread you have no reason to care about.

I doubt he wants to go back anyways

I will say that it is not typical to see a villain who doesn't blame the hero for the fact that he became like that because of him.

Ironically he would 100% be in the right to not just because it's true but also because Darkwing wasn't even that phased when he thought Bud died

True, but we're talking about Honker using the cure to get rid of a problem

DW was kind of an asshole in the early episodes before mellowing out a bit as he got more used to his role as a dad. Wasn't helped that he had an ego to rival the likes of Vegeta and even when he had a family and friends, he often had to get his head cracked in just to remember that he can't treat them like an afterthought

An air tight cell should do the Trick

Or a bottle/tank that he can't seep out of or break with his powers. While I get his defeats would be fairly limited, they probably could have used quite a few before running into repeat methods

They should try to defeat his salesman side for a unconventional ending

Says something when a guy with a chainsaw can scare the fuck out of a guy made of water

By what, haggling with him until he quits out of frustration over not getting the price he desires?

I was thinking of him just giving up because of a loss in revenue
