Just like the previous hero that Vixx was fighting, this blonde warrior woman doesn’t have a name yet either. In my personal life I’m the kind of person who isn’t very good with names, and it looks like that’s a trait that extends into my comic-book writing as well…

Behind every successful evildoer, there’s usually a good, hardworking henchman (or henchmen, if it’s a team effort) toiling behind the scenes to help make the boss’ evil dreams come true. As a tribute to these often unacknowledged evildoers, we present Henchmen for Hire’s completely biased List of Top 10 Henchmen:
#10 – The Minions from Despicable Me
#9 – The Wicked Witch of the West’s Flying Monkeys from The Wizard of Oz
#8 – Renfield from Dracula
#7 – Jaws (as played by Richard Kiel in the James Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me)
#6 – Dr. Frankenstein’s Igor
#5 – Mr. Smee – Captain Hook’s right hand (?) man from Peter Pan
#4 – Mini Me from the Austin Powers Movies
#3 – The Joker’s gal-pal Harley Quinn
#2 – The Stormtroopers from Star Wars
#1 – Oddjob – from the James Bond movie Goldfinger
We may have missed a henchman or two, but these are the best ones that come to mind for us. Are there any glaring omissions of outstanding henchpeople? let us know what you think!
Thanks to all the new readers for all the great comments and feedback you’ve been sending. I’m pleasantly surprised at how readers pick up on a lot of subtle hints and small things that I drop into the story.
I bet there’s a long line of Super Villains out there who are eager to declare Mega Mime as their personal arch-enemy…
