- Sex-crazed international clichés vs. the awesomest villain ever!
Originally uploaded May 25th, 2009.
RUMINATIONS: Much like Youngblood #1, New Guardians was a text review turned into a video review. Not THAT much changed from the text review to this version. The more time passes between the text review and the video review, the more likely you'll see changes. And that's primarily because the person I was back in 2008 is obviously going to be different come 2013. In fact, the New Guardians #2 video vs. text was separated by only a year.
That being said, Snowflame had been talked about before on the show - primarily as the #1 on my "Top 15 WTF Moments in Bad Comics" video, which just happened to be the first video of mine that went up on That Guy With the Glasses. While I'm not particularly proud of that video now, it left an impact among viewers, getting people interested in a comic reviewer of all things and alerting people about the glory of Snowflame - who DESPERATELY needs a comeback (outside of a great webcomic, that is).
The original text review was actually made because at the time I couldn't find a copy of the first issue of the series, which I usually preferred to do because of backstory. While I would eventually get to the first issue of New Guardians, it's the second one that holds people's fascination because of the awesome drug-crazed power of SNOWFLAME! My friend Will would eventually portray him on the show in said episode. He tells me he bases his version of Snowflame off of Macho Man Randy Savage and, well, I see it.
This was also my first attempt at trying to force a running gag that nobody caught onto, but I'm still using today: "what new spore of madness is THIS?!" It's not THAT silly a thing to say when you get right down to it, but something about it just captured my imagination and made me want to repeat it any time something truly insane happened in a comic.

8:56 ...not gonna lie, I kinda LOVE the name “Hemogoblin.” I like to think someone on the creative misspelled “hemoglobin” or saw it misspelled somewhere and thought “Hmm...that’d be a good name for a villain...what can we do with that?”
For a long time I thought it was Haemogoblin
I just realised something: A white-haired villain who is powered by Cocaine? Snowflame is Ric Flair! WOOOOOOO!
Wurzelknecht *neckchop*
WOOOOOOOOOOOO
Okay, now I can't stop reading Snowflame's dialogue in Ric Flair's voice
FUUUCCKK I CAN'T BELIEVE SNOWFLAME FUCKING FUCK FUCK IS SUCK
Make me want Punch and Kick a Fucking Door and SnowFlame was awesome
Fuck You The Guardian Fuck You Japanese John Cena Looking Biatch Quick Everybody Throw Shit At Them Like Can, Food, Drink, and Popcorn Booooo Booo Booooo To Ram
@@frankjosephjaeger2675 this dude sounds like he tried to be Snowflame lmao
Looking back at this, I can't help but wonder why Snowflame wasn't a Black Lantern.
+Juan Martinez Snowflame doesn't need some silly black ring to rise from the dead! His white god cocaine is all he needs.
My guess is DC completely forget about him.
***** The awesomeness of SNOWFLAME have hacked your phone. His name deserves to be written in caps.
That's because he's already a Coke Lantern.
Juan Martinez the White Powder cancelled out the Black Lantern Ring's power
Why hasn't DC made an animated movie with Snowflame?! We got Batsex before we got Snowflame!
SnowFlame and The Joker would of be Buddy or a Homeboys
Well first they have to bring him back from the dead in another comic
@@jonathanwarrdddedcxddeecec4787 To be fair, considering he "faked" his death last time. I'd say we just go with that. He's just amazing at faking his death. XD
That scene is somehow worse than Talia date-raping Batman
@@redjirachi1 still not as bad as Wonder Woman raping a guy in 84
If DC and Marvel ever do another crossover... it should be "Deadpool vs. Snowflame".
YES! Oh my god YES!!!
R.I.P Snowflame the God of cocaine.
+Maureen May Blasphemer! Snowflame shall rise again in three days among the marijuana leaves!
@@digigirl92 I come from the future. Snowflame is back!!!
Dunnot worry on the third way he shall rise again and absulv us of our sins
INDUBITABLY
We need Snowflame in Arrow, Gotham and Flash
We need Snowflame in everything!
And the movies
Actually give his own movie
+VocalCalibration OMG I would love it if someone could make Snowflame for M.U.G.E.N.
+snakes3425 That would be unfair as his awesomeness would totaly dominate the shows.
Ultimate Warrior vs. Snowflame! The battle of over the top hyperbole!
Snowflame = best super villain ever
+Brandon Roberts NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!! DON'T LET FRANK MILLER NEAR ANY MORE COMIC BOOKS EVER AGAIN!!
Brandon Roberts Yup.
Snowflame needs his own series
@Talisguy
He does?
Eddie Yup. It is AMAZING.
The DC Universe would be MORE Awesome if Snowflame was a Recurring Villain, Think of the Possibilities he could have been between 1988-2011.
He was brought back.
SNOWFLAME, we barely knew ye.
You took cocaine. A lot.
R.I.P.
Although Snowflame was a rather awesome character, I can see why they killed him off so quickly. Seeing how that kids read comic books as well as adults, and also would pretend to be their favorite superheroes, parents didn't want their kids snorting cocaine in hopes that would give them superpowers. So instead of making Snowflame a longtime villain, he just made Snowflame as a shoehorned character that we will never see in a future issue. But still, SNOWFLAME'S DEEEEAAAAD!!!! *sobbing*
Wait, that cover. There's no snow in this so... a blizzard of cocaine? Is that one of snowflame's powers?
Think the better question is "if their mission is to procreate, why is there a gay guy, a full bodied cyborg and a plant man in the group?" i know the 1st issue implies ram has a dick, i think...? it's kinda just vaugley implied, he didn't really confirm if he had one...considering the full body cyborg thing...does he just have a micro sperm bank in there?? For that mater, WHY ARE THEY EVEN FIGHTING CRIME AND ENDANGERING THEIR QUESTIONIBLE GENTIC CODE?!?
Outside the fluke of the amazing snowflame, this is one of the stupidest, most poorly conceaved concepts for series since ever
Dude. Snowflame vs China cat.
Gerisa Rodriguez fucking yes.
Perfect idea.
18:17 and thus ends one of the greatest enemy of The New Guardians... And DC in general... And all of fiction.
He recently reappeared in a Catwoman comic.
How can DC continually bring back Superbitch Prime and yet not have so flame. That is a crime if I have ever heard it.
SNOWFLAME FEELS NO PAIN!!!!!!!!!!
Snowflame should be played by Willem Dafoe! SNOWFLAME!!
+103rdWhatever That better be who he's playing in Justice League: Part One
That would be the greatest casting choice ever... Probably. But DC isn't that smart.
I picture Nicholas Cage playing him
i picture ric flair
DC, circa 1988: "Maggie Sawyer having a layered coming out story and shedding light on the mistreatment of the gay community? Kill the story immediately."
DC circa 1988: "Extraneous, the living stereotype? Get that son of a bitch to print IMMEDIATELY!"
We need a Snowflame / Doctor Rockzo team-up. DC make it happen!
Did anyone else notice that Ram's circuit pattern seems to have been drawn as a flat image and kind of... uh... I guess "Green-screened" into him, so it always looks flat and doesn't contort around his natural shape?
Buzzing Sign Diner His head circuitry also seems to keep changing shapes in-between panels.
Martin Sevcech [Cut to Phelous' "Great continuity!" clip.]
Snowflame actually appeared in an issue of Catwoman last year.
Somebody needs to do a kickstarter for math with snowflame!
Guess Who's Back. Back Again. Snowflames Back. Tell A Friend.
Hide your coke
DC! Y u kill off Snowflame?
Ikrani Ok everyone send letters to dc asking for SNOWFLAME'S as the exact character and he like barely survives the explosion If we spam them enough SNOWFLAME WILL BE REBORN. SNOWFLAME SHALL LIVE ONCE AGIAN!!!!
I love it when comic writers just go nuts and create something as amazingly goofy as a supervillain who gets his power from cocaine .
Eugenics, AIDs, villains drawing their power from cocaine and racial stereotyping. On an unrelated note, I thought this came out in the early 90's.
Dude, I think your Spanish accent skipped over to Ireland :P
***** At least he tries. Can't fault him for that haha
Rereading Millennium right now and apparently Terra was supposed to be a new guardian but died before they could get to her.
Just a reminder that Terra was 14 when she died. In universe, at the time of this event, she would not have been older than 16.
In recent years snowflame returned for 2 issues of catwoman were its revealed he faked his death and apparently never appeard again afterwards meaning he is still at large acting as charming man to the public while being an awesome drug lord and supervillain.
SNNNNOOOWWWWFFLLLAAAMMMEEE NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNnOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Knowing the logic of this comic its probable that the gay guy has the power to get other men pregnant.
Snowflame remains one of my favorite random things ever in comics
I can't help but think Jonathan Hickman took some inspiration from this when he did his X-Men reboot, what with all the "genetically superior" people trying to have as many kids as possible.
11:52 Man, the past 8 years ago were such innocent times.
Snowflame is in the new season of Harley Quinn on HBO, it's freaking hilarious.
Well, Snowflame _did_ raise again.
Manhunters secretly infiltrating and blending in with the heroes
*Ahem Secret Invasion
Well, at least they keep one thing consistent. The old Guardians are still clearly not qualified to be in charge of things if these are the people they chose... Also, the mission itself is stupid.
We need SnowFlame in EVERYTHING.
If you're here for Snowflame quotes, they start at 4:05
Your Extranio sounds like Waluigi and I am endlessly amused by this.
SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOWFLAME!
SNOWFLAIME IS AWESOME
Snowflame for Doom Patrol.
How on Earth did Snowflame not become a meme!?
KyanbuXM Well, perhaps people were initially pretending he didn’t exist.
Dunnot worry link for the lord snowflame shall rise again on the third day
Guys. GUYS.
SNOWFLAME HAS RETURNED IN THE PAGES OF CATWOMAN! ALL HAIL THE GLORIOUS GOD OF COCAINE THAT IS SNOWFLAME!!!
Wait so this comic is about a group superhumans, who will be the next stage of humanity and reign for 1000 years? Why does that make me feel REALLY uncomfortable? XD
Too bad there isn't a "Too much green energy can be dangerous"
So.... it's Rent but with superheroes?
If snowflame joins forces with Dr. Rockso, we are all doomed; or in for a hell of a good time.
We need a Floronic Man/Snowflame crossover. After Leaves of Grass it just seems a natural.
How could he not have heard of the New Guardians.... we did that thing in that place with that stuff. Inconceivable~!
I love terrible comics and this is one of my favorites
I have a feeling the writer had just discovered cocaine and got obsessed with it. One thing is for certain....It had to be some big-ass fun writing Snowflame's dialogue! Cheesy as hell and full of drug puns. Soooooo glad I never bought New Guardians!
I'm sad i didn't.
Will you ever review the other issues of this series?
19:33 when prince died? WAIT!
OMG just reading an issue of GL and SNOWFLAME lives..well at leats he was named dropped to fight Bulleteer and Night Pilot lol
So, I love this episode so much, I now own a copy of this exact comic and even made Snowflame in the now gone (but not forgotten) mmo City of Villains/City of Heroes! If I could I'd share pics of this here lol
Extrano has green pants but it is not often seen as his cloak covers them up
HOLY SHIT HE'S BACK!!!!!!!!
I don't think it's snow on the cover
"He is cuckoo for cocain!"
Coke-coke puffs.
I'm disappointed. 1, you completely missed out on the rick james ”Cocaine is a hell of a drug" clip. If there was EVER a time, that was it. Wasted opportunity. 2, how could you not know Snowflame is Charlie Sheen!
This video was originally from 2009. Sheen's "Tiger Blood" meltdown hadn't happened yet (2011)
I wonder how Snowflame even got his powers... Were they artificial but with a ridiculous trigger, or are there just people walking around out there who get superpowers from drugs, but don't know it unless they happen to take up an unusually specific bad habit of using the drug that triggers their powers?
For those who want Snowflame in some DC show or movie, well he’s in Harley Quinn the animated series.
OMG! That's Kylo Ren!
TEN YEARS OF SNOWFLAME!!!!!!!
11:28 The CIA guy reminds me of Mr. Wong from Zeta Gundam. I hated that guy. Not sure about this guy though.
Was that a comic depiction of a normal day of Aerosmith life?
Dude, I love Snowflame! I want DC to put him in a movie. I would watch the shit out of that! Batman Vs Snowflame! MAKE IT HAPPEN DC!!!
2:51 At least he's less scary looking than Mr. Computer.
simply breathtaking
This is so X-Treme 90's and high off 80's cocaine, I don't know how anyone could have a bad time... aside from the obvious.
Snowflame is wearing Zodac's costume!
We now know, all that "snow" on the cover art, yeah thats ALL strait up coke, lol
huh? I always thought Snowflame was some kind of joke character Linkara made up as a parody of Fire and Ice ',:(
***** I know all that now thanks anyway
Snowflame, the cocaine-powered supervillain, is unequivocally the best part of this entire comic series.
Did you just predict the plot to Modern Warfare 2?
12:04 ....agent terwilinger... AHH SIDESHOW BOB
Wait, is it true Snowflame is in the new Harley Quinn cartoon?! If he is and is half as crazy as in this comic, I might have to move that show up my priority watch list!
17:29 Of course! Don't you know how science works?
I bet you Snowflame's origin story involves the CIA
Is anyone else here because of Harley Quinn season 4 ?
Your spanish sounds scottish haha
Dr rockso the rock an roll clown/ snowflame crossover needs to happen
RIP Snowflame.
Good old 2009, when you could mention H1tl3r without getting censored.
GOD DAMN IT CAN'T BELIEVE SNOWFLAME FUCKING DIED IT SUCK IT SUCK I'm Gonna Go Kick My Fucking Door FUCK
SnowFlame is Fucking Awesome
Snowflame is missed.....what if...a...New 52 revival...for shits and kicks..?!!! SNOWFLAME MUST LIVE!!!! AGAIN!!! AND DIE...NO MORE!!
So SnowFlame can probably take on Superman?
Oh, this is where Snowflame is from. LMAO.
Snowflame! *N O O O O O O O O O* ! ! !
Would you want people knowing your CIA agent is a CIA agent?
For Spanish Accent, flatten tongue instead of bending it. Also roll your Rs
Snowflame Begins
Snow Flame is Frying The Coke, huh huh?
