What's worse than a regular murder? A majestic fancy dressing evil brillant genius that not only enjoys killing which he gets payed for he's made areas that are deticated to killing his targets. To him it's a game. He get's enjoyment out of people's physical pain from his deathtraps.
Like Arcade said in a quote.
"Y'see ladies, any fool can kill-I wanted to do it with style."
Arcade
Character » Arcade appears in 513 issues.
Seeking challenges, Arcade has tested the abilities of many superheroes in the Marvel Universe. Trapped inside his dangerous Murderworlds and playing to survive, always nothing more than just a game for Arcade.
Arcade Appreciation Thread
I don't like him. Never have, never will. They should have really let Shatterstar kill him in X-Force # 30.
"*appreciates*AoA one did manage to kill black panther though
Though I wouldn't give him any money. For an assassin of superheroes, he tends to not assassinate very many superheroes.
Though he is damn cool."
if it does mean anythinggggg. oh wait it doesnt :/
"He's a good villain i think murderworld is a good stageHe was in X-Factor last year.
he should make a comeback

"geraldthesloth said:Until he has more of a following I don't think he'll make more appearnces. Personally I think it be cool if Arcade kills one of the X-Men which would make the X-Men fans hate him even more which would make for a long lasting bad blood feud between the evil murduring psychopath and the Mutant Super Hero team."He's a good villain i think murderworld is a good stageHe was in X-Factor last year.

"Thank you, Erik. He and Mojo are cut from the same cloth. The scraps. lol"
Funny guy, "Meanstreak".
Arcade's not a bad villain.
Cause noone wanted to go to his crappy page. lol He's like the comic relief verson of The Tinker or The Wizard. Only with worse plans, and crappier machines.
"He not bad, John. He sucks. "I'll take X-Men advice from someone who doesn't know who Pixie is......
I'm not giving you advise. I'm telling you what it is. He sucks. Period Pixie sucks. Hellion Sucks. This list can go on forever, but I don't have time for this. I'm gonna go have a convo with someone who isn't a complete tool.

It's a typo, turd. You really must not have any friends. You're a sad little kid. I'm even sadder for feeding into your B.S.
"Meanstreak said:No he's not a stupid concept. You want a stupid concept it's Mr.Polka Dot, Killer Moth, 10 Eyed Man, Calender Man, Prankster, Ani Men, etc."He is a stupid concept that should have been killed years ago. "Cause he's never really around. he always has a robotic clone of himself do all the dirty work.

"erik said:Ok. I will agree with those. Just do not forget to toss Arcade into that list while you are at it."Meanstreak said:No he's not a stupid concept.

My problem with you is: HOW THE HELL DOES HELLION SUCK?!

"Firestormnuclerman said:No It is the correct answer.I'm not going to throw Arcade on the list because he's underrated, underused, and he's far from stupid."So sorry. That is the incorrect answer."
Arcade is awesome. He seemingly works alone, and yet sets up Murderworld in different locations with ridiculously elaborate traps and such. He never really accomplishes the task at hand, but I think to him, it is all just a game. It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play. He just loves to watch people squirm. I wonder what happened in his past to make him the way he is. He's like a crazy carnival barker/clown/vaudevillian actor. Very interesting character, IMO. He always has his targets guessing, and makes some really cool traps and devices. He also never gets caught because he always has contingency plans before the games start. The level of tech he uses is incredible. I think he could rival Stark or Spider-Man's brain power if he wasn't so crazy.

Overall his death traps seems like it may have inspired Jigsaw from Saw.
Gail Simone could make him a major threat that would accomplish something.
She already took the former laughable out of shape crook Catman made him in shape, and made him a huge credible threat. Add in making Mad Hatter a brillant evil genius that made Gotham PD is own personal army through mind controlling devices.
