Vigo the Carpathian



Also known as Vigo the Cruel, Vigo the Torturer, Vigo the Despised, and Vigo the Unholy (but not Vigo the Butch), this big blonde chose New Year's Eve 1989 to make his return from the afterlife after nearly 400 years.

Surfing a river of slime powered by the bad vibes of the city, Vigo seemed to have it all: brains, sway, and a Bobby Brown song mentioning him by name. What he lacked, however, was a body that would give him an earthly form. Why these all-powerful demon-dudes like Vigo and Lo Pan (from Big Trouble in Little China) want a human form is beyond me.

In addition to his flesh-for-fantasy fault, Vigo also had bad timing. What a pity that the guys from one of the highest-grossing comedies of all time were back in town.

Vigo reigned by terror in the 16th century and died via several unnatural causes, including being poisoned, stabbed, shot, hung, stretched, disemboweled, drawn and quartered. Even before his head died later on, he would forever plan revenge on the world. Ultimately, Vigo was done in by, heh, the goodwill of all of New York as they rallied behind an emotion-slime powered Statue of Liberty.
