My gosh this is super fun. I went and looked up Rex Velvet, too, and his videos are hilarious. Like you said, he doesn’t seem to have done anything truly villainous, at least not in an illegal sense, but he seems to have distributed these “Superheroes not welcome” posters. It’s interesting that he seems to be pro-police, actually, so he’s not nessecarily promoting villainy, just denouncing vigilantism (and brandishing weapons in a vaguely threatening manner, but other than that).
But yeah, the videos turn out to be sketches more than anything, but it’s still really fun. It’s hilarious how he keeps calling Phoenix Jones and crew nerds when he appears to be out-nerding them by leaps and bounds. I mean, he’s sitting there straight up drinking Firewhiskey, and apparently he has a DeLorean? He’s a ridiculous nerd and I love him, even if I don’t nessecarily agree with his anti-vigilante stance. (I mean, there’s pros and cons. We can discuss the legal/functional implications of vigilantism another time.) Anyways he’s also thrown a super swag villain party and he has cat-minions, so.
(This is his intro video with the firewhiskey, his anti-Phoenix Jones premise, and his vaguely threatening weapon brandishing. This one introduces his anti-superhero poster campaign, also featuring the DeLorean. Here is the sketch with his totally not photoshopped cat minions (that might be spoilers, sorry), which is probably the funniest of all of these, and here is his villain party, with some villains who are more swag than certain others.)
Also there were links in the comments section of the first video to more articles about Phoenix. I started reading this interview and it was quite interesting--it explains how he chose his name, for example: “Phoenix is my son's name, and Jones is the most common last name in America, so I did it for my son and for the common person.” But then I got distracted by Rex’s nerd-swag villainy and I didn’t finish reading the article. Phoenix seems really cool, too, though.
Washington State (not DC) is the only state in the union where you can legally have a fistfight with somebody (with police as referees) to settle your differences
