Wanted (Comic Book)	comment	Meet Wesley Gibson. Wesley's father abandoned him when he was eighteen weeks old, and things have gone steadily downhill since. He works for a disgusting boss at a job he hates before going home to a girlfriend who's sleeping with his best friend. But suddenly, Wesley is tapped to join the Fraternity, a shadowy cabal of comic book-style villains who claim they're behind all organized crime on Earth, and that further, Wesley's father was one of them.And that's when Wesley's life gets much more interesting.Wanted is a comic series by Mark Millar and JG Jones that operates on one simple principle: superheroes really do exist in our world. Well, at least they did until 1986, when all the supervillains in the world teamed up for the express purpose of defeating every superhero in the world. However, getting rid of the superheroes and divvying the world up into sections to make money unencumbered by spandex-clad do-gooders wasn't enough for the supervillains. Did we mention they are supervillains? They used magic and technology to alter reality and people's memories, removing the superheroes from all recorded history and recall.Almost.You see, this still wasn't enough (supervillains, remember). So they took the heroes who had survived and gave them meaningless lives, then left most of the heroes' exploits around... in comic books.The series has its origins in Millar's childhood, when his older brother convinced the young Mark that Superman and all other superheroes had existed before Mark was born, but had all been killed by the supervillains. And then Mark grew up and became a comic writer. Was originally a proposed reboot for the Secret Society of Super-Villains, but when rejected, Mark decided to go Darker and Edgier.After more than twenty years since the series debuted, the Fraternity made its grand return in Millar's Nemesis: Reloaded, where they promise to wage war against the newly emerging superheroes of the Millarworld Shared Universe in the Crisis Crossover Big Game (2023).

Invoked by the author, as the story's structure (a corruption of The Hero's Journey) is specifically modelled to make you root for the Villain Protagonist even though he murders, rapes and tortures his way through the issues and is a petty, smug sadist who obviously gets off on the evil acts he commits. In the end the only thing differentiating Wesley from the Big Bad Mr. Rictus is that Wesley is evil 6 days a week, whereas Rictus strives to fill all 7 of them with bonafide supervillainy. By the end Wesley has to Break the Fourth Wall to remind the reader that, yes, he's still a villain and proud of it.

The transition is even shown visually as the bright colored hero era is converted into the dark and drab modern era.

Wanted (Comic Book) / int_1d55c82c	type	HerosJourney
Wanted (Comic Book) / int_1d55c82c	comment	Wanted explores the entire Hero's Journey archetype of storytelling by stuffing it in a blender with Protagonist Journey to Villain and hitting frappe. Wesley starts out as an average loser before having the Call to Adventure forced on him; before the second issue is over, he's a horrible, horrible person, and every person he comes across seems tailor-made to cheer him on in his horribleness and mould him into a more competent horrible person, offering moral support and justifying his actions for him, so that even when he has moments of introspection the answer is always "you're right, and you deserve all the power". Compare the journey of Wesley Gibson with the journey of a character like Harry Potter. Lots of conveniently inherited guardians, assistants, resources, and lucky powers that save the day with bizarre ease. When changed to this context, the insidiousness of the archetype kind of comes to the fore.

But at least he has a tiny sense of decency when he displays his appreciation of family. Mr. Rictus, on the other hand, commits such heinous atrocities that disgust even Wesley and most of the other villains. Fox mentions this as the reason she moved from Rictus's gang to Seltzer's. Sure, she kills people, but Rictus was shooting babies in cribs for the hell of it. In fact, Mr. Rictus's evil is pretty much the only reason you would cheer for Wesley when he goes on his killing spree against Rictus: the latter is only slightly better than the former when it comes to morality. Just barely. During the annual meeting of the Five, Adam One comes right out and tells the Future to go fuck himself, making it clear that he despises the Nazi for his ideology.

They've already conquered the world, and all they want is their pleasures. Widespread chaos threatens that. Solomon Seltzer just wants to party and practice Mad Science. The Emperor just wants to party and run his empire. Adam-One just wants to party and enjoy his eternal life. However, the heroic genocide required more firepower than the three of them had, so they had to make alliances and therefore share power with less pragmatic types. The Future just wants to party and slaughter the inferior races. And Mister Rictus just wants to party While Rome Burns. There's also the legitimate concern on the pro-secrecy side that being openly evil may attract the attention of heroes from the greater multiverse, of which they have no chance against. Rictus, however, doesn't care and actually welcomes the challenge.

Wanted (Comic Book) / int_62ec4b15	type	Cast of Expies
Wanted (Comic Book) / int_62ec4b15	comment	Cast of Expies: Inverted in-universe. In a twist, the comic book heroes and villains Wanted's are based on are implied to be expies of Wanted's "real life" versions, while the comic book versions are all that remain of humanity's knowledge of them after reality was edited. The book apparently started as a pitch for an Alternate Universe take on DC's Secret Society of Super-Villains, so all the characters can be traced back to The DCU villains in some respects. Some of the background villains towards the end also resemble Marvel villains. You can see recolored versions of the Green Goblin, Hate-Monger, and Kang the Conqueror in Wesley's assault on Rictus's compound. The Killer (especially the first one), considering he started off with the "Batman enemies" group and has the power of infallible aim, was inspired by Deadshot. Millar confirms it here. The Fox is blatantly Catwoman. Professor Seltzer is pretty much a Golden Age Lex Luthor, especially due to being a mad scientist with an alliterative name. Superman's counterpart is not named, but he is explicitly shown as a paraplegic, like Christopher Reeve, the actor who played Superman in the Richard Donner films. Batman is alluded to several times — as the Detective — before his post-1986 persona who was basically Adam West, along with Dick Grayson who had turned into Burt Ward, are placed in a death trap by Mr. Rictus and fed to a cyborg octopus. It's a bit tragic when Mr. Rictus points out that the fat, pleading slob with the hood over his head was once the scariest man in the world. The Emperor is Fu Manchu, or possibly The Mandarin. Given the DC origins of the pitch, he's also Ra's Al Ghul. Adam-One is Vandal Savage, being a caveman who has become immortal. Shithead is very similar to Clayface in that he's a shape-shifter who resembles a brown being made of mud in his default form (though in his case, it's actually poop). Deadly Nightshade is a villainess with power over plants like Poison Ivy. Imp is a pastiche of Superman's reality-warping enemy Mister Mxyzptlk. Fuckwit is a lot like Bizarro due to being a dim-witted clone of the aforementioned Superman pastiche. The Doll-Master is Toyman, albeit with a slightly different personality. Johnny Two-Dicks is Two-Face combined with Scarface. Brain Box is a pastiche of Brainiac in that he is a superintelligent android. Sucker is based on Parasite in that he can drain energy from people and copy the powers of superhuman victims, with a bit of Venom's nature as a parasitic alien life form that thrives by bonding to host bodies for good measure. The Frightener is a representation of Scarecrow. He also looks vaguely like a green version of Carnage. The Puzzler is an equivalent of The Riddler in that he's a puzzle-themed villain. The Future is similar to Per Degaton, another fascist time-traveling villain, but with the inversion that he's from the future like Kang the Conqueror at Marvel or the Lord of Time at DC. With his fitting Slasher Smile, psychopathic tendencies, and Black Comedy, series antagonist Mr Rictus is an obvious send-up of the Clown Prince of Crime.

Wanted (Comic Book) / int_89434320	comment	Protagonist-Centered Morality: Deconstructed in a rather interesting way. The protagonist Wesley Gibson starts out as an almost comically gutless, whiny loser before he is introduced into the world of supervillains. As part of his Took a Level in Badass act, he instead becomes a sadistic, depraved mass-murdering monster through an inversion of The Hero's Journey-type of story arc, while the reader is forced to side with him due to the Villain Protagonist perspective and Evil Versus Evil morality. In reality Wesley's enemies are barely worse than him, and the comic ends with Wesley becoming one of the five supervillain overlords of the planet, his journey to power, wealth and evil completed. Any readers who at this point were still rooting for the guy as an Anti-Hero badass despite his depravities are soon reminded how bad he is when he turns to the reader, calls them out on supporting him, and then rapes you. Don't forget, he's the villain.

Wanted (Comic Book) / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: Not just of comic books and super-villains (see below), but to a larger extent, society's glorification of violence. It's a widely established fact that becoming an action hero and "manning up" is a power fantasy frequently entertained by adolescents (mainly males). Here, Millar suggests that such dreams are not only unrealistic, but just downright dysfunctional and reprehensible. For example, Wesley mentions several times about how his transition to cold-blooded killer changed his life for the better, but isn't portrayed sympathetically at all. In fact, at this point readers are most likely disgusted by his actions, with his callous murder of innocents, like the moment where, on a whim, he decides to walk into a police station and kill every male officer and nearly rape the sole female survivor, all because he was bored. In fact, towards the end of the comic, as he enacts his Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Mr. Rictus, he confidently states "I am John Wayne, Bruce Lee, Clint Eastwood", among other action heroes. At this point, would you really cheer for him, even if he plays on your power fantasies like a video game? Wanted explores the entire Hero's Journey archetype of storytelling by stuffing it in a blender with Protagonist Journey to Villain and hitting frappe. Wesley starts out as an average loser before having the Call to Adventure forced on him; before the second issue is over, he's a horrible, horrible person, and every person he comes across seems tailor-made to cheer him on in his horribleness and mould him into a more competent horrible person, offering moral support and justifying his actions for him, so that even when he has moments of introspection the answer is always "you're right, and you deserve all the power". Compare the journey of Wesley Gibson with the journey of a character like Harry Potter. Lots of conveniently inherited guardians, assistants, resources, and lucky powers that save the day with bizarre ease. When changed to this context, the insidiousness of the archetype kind of comes to the fore.

Wanted (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Wanted references other comic books very frequently, as the series is based on the idea that the supervillains of a comic book continuity won utterly and completely. For starters, the year they defeated the heroes was 1986 — the same year that The DCU was doing its Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover which involved pretty much every hero and villain in the setting duking it out. Wesley Gibson name drops plenty of action movies and other pop culture throughout the comic as well. More subtly, the living room in Wesley's and Fox's apartment is modelled after Bill's living room from Kill Bill.

Wanted (Comic Book) / int_c86552d6	comment	Masquerade Paradox: This is resolved in an interesting way. The Masquerade is maintained by the Fraternity, an almighty Legion of Doom of allied supervillians who exterminated all superheroes on Earth in 1986, then performed a Cosmic Retcon to the rest of the world so that everyone, including any surviving heroes, believes that superheroes are fictional. Being supervillains, the Fraternity refuse to use their vast powers to benefit the world, and they spend most of their time making mountains of money and amusing themselves through clandestine and criminal means. Their concern is parallel universes, which might still have superheroes who can choose to intervene — Fraternity members do occasionally raid those other universes, but they're very careful to cover their tracks. The Masquerade becomes a major plot point, as the Fraternity is divided on whether to maintain it or drop it and rule openly.

The only hint that anything was ever different is the existence of superhero comic books, which represent the ultimate victory of the supervillains — although the comics depict actual events from the previous reality, nobody would ever take them seriously.
