10 Celebrity Guests Who Should've Stayed In South Park
6. Christopher Reeve
Episode(s) appeared in: Krazy Kripples (Season 7, Episode 2)
The former Superman actor appeared in South Park to advocate for stem cell research, however, his ghoulish interpretation of the science involved him consuming foetuses by ripping off their heads and sucking out the “juices”.
In classic South Park fashion, political correctness, and a dose of patronisation, had the town’s population hail Reeve as an inspiration. Reeve soon becomes the antithesis of ‘The Man of Steel’ when his consumption of foetuses not only returns his body to full health, but also gives him supervillain ambitions. After knocking up a Legion of Doom lair quicker than Chinese efficiency can build a hospital, it is left to Gene Hackman, the Lex Luthor opposite Reeve’s Superman, to put an end to his foe’s “foetus sucking days”.
Though Reeve passed away in 2004, South Park’s supervillain version had the curative power of aborted foetuses. Reeve could live on in South Park taking advantage of his status as an “inspiration” to mask all kinds of evil. Butters as Professor Chaos does his best to provide a supervillain antagonist to The Coon and Friends, however, he lacks direction. Reeve would be an ideal mentor for the budding supervillain.
