10 Weird Marvel Villains You Won't Believe Exist

5. Armless Tiger Man

Master Pandemonium Baby Arms
Marvel

If it wasn't for the fact that he was a Nazi cannibal, Armless Tiger Man could almost be seen as inspiring.

So who is he? Well the short answer is that he was a man with no arms who had sharp teeth like a tiger. The longer answer is that he was a worker called Gustav Hertz who lost both both his arms in an industrial accident. He then trained for years to use his feet like hands and also sharpened his teeth to fangs, all so that he could get revenge on the ones who wronged him. No, not the company whose labour laws were clearly way too lax, machines themselves.

Armless Tiger Man was a disabled guy who wanted to kick all the machines in the world to death and that's amazing. The best part is that even the Nazi's had no idea what to do with him, they just sent him to America and told him to do whatever he wanted.

While in America, Armless Tiger Man fought the Angel. The Angel was one of Marvel's first heroes and the fact that he had so much trouble fighting a man who didn't even have arms is probably why he isn't still around today.

Eventually, someone realised that being good at kicks doesn't make you immune to bullets and Armless Tiger Man was shot to death.

I was just a mild-mannered NCTJ accredited journalist until one day I found out the truth... that I could share my nerdy ramblings with people on the internet! It's just like mumbling to myself on the train, but without all the strange looks.
