"It’s gangs going all over New York filming atrocities on their cell phones and putting them on the internet, trying to outdo each other, all at the behest of Red Mist. My idea for Red Mist was to introduce a supervillain that made Heath Ledger’s Joker look like Cesar Romero’s Joker. He’s basically Charles Manson as a supervillain."

Mofo, for short.

Really? That is the name they chose to use?

That's awesome.

Hey it's The Mofo

" Mofo, for short. "

Kinda dumb name. I was actually excited for something dark.

" Really? That is the name they chose to use? "

I think this will be cool in the comics, but when they make this into a movie I can't see how they'll get McLovin to play a believable Manson-like villain unless he takes some acting lessons IMO

Is Mark Millar able to describe one of his characters without referencing the Batman universe?  First it was Nemesis being described as Bruce Wayne as the Joker and now this.  Not that I mind really but its kinda weird.

the name is stupid, red mist is supposed to be a comic fan so you'd think he'd come up with a better name other then that i sounds like it's going to be cool.

He's one bad Mother....shut yo mouth!!!!!

awesome 

Lol I definetely don't blame him. I hate it when people can't seperate a character from an actor.
 
Definitely interested to see if they can pull off something quite that dark.

Woo hoo... more shock value from Millar that is neither shocking nor of value. He gave us gratuitous random violence and villain with f-bombs in their names in "Wanted." It was lame then, now it's lame and tired. How about instead of bombarding his fan base with gore and profanity he actually writes a story?

Well, the Motherfucker is just obscene. 
 
But when your arch-nemesis is called Kick-Ass, I guess you can't complain at all. 
 
The first flick was actually quite innovative, and rather entertaining. Let's just hope the sequel lives up to its predecessor.

that's a stupid name, but all of their names aren't that good and i guess thats the point

That comment was idiotic and the name is just pointless.
 
 It is getting harder and harder to like Millar.

Red Mist's new name sucks.

Seriously?
They could have called him something different?
Nothing like.....I don't know "Bloody Butcher?"

Wow this is really happening isn't it? The dvd sales must have gone a lot better than the box office final draw. Good for them, it was an entertaining flick.

THey officially mess it up.. Red Mist was better and cooler imo

not feelin the new name at all

Wasn't his name revealed before?

Completely saw it coming. It's not incredibly unique or anything, but it's straightforward and makes sense. Plus, he's a narcissistic asshole, it just suits him. Sure it's kind of stupid, but it's a sensical that-kind-of-Mark-Millar-over-the-top badassness to it. It's fine.

Trying too hard is what I think.

This is why I love Mark Millar so much. It's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard, but it's simultaneously the most hysterical thing I've ever heard. 
 
God bless you, Mark.

Mark Millar has obviously decided to stop making good stories and instead make entertainment that appeals to the lowest common denominator. I only site his marketing genius in knowing that people will come in droves to watch crap. Naming a character "The Motherfucker" is just weak.

I don't know about you people but while The Motherfucker sounds hillarious it fits the storyline perfectly in a sense.
 
We all know that Red Mist is a classic example of a narcissist so the name makes sense in this case. It may be funny to us, but to a person like Red Mist who basically wants to be remembered, he would think it as dead serious.
 
So the joke will work on both ways in which he thinks the name is kick-ass (no pun intended) but to the masses, people would have a huge wtf moment.
 
Side note: So profanity is now allowed on comicvine? Yay!

The first one I loved so... Definitely excited to see a sequel.

did almost all of you completely misunderstand the point of Kick-Ass? it was written to satirize the stereotypical comic book world, where heroes are good role models and have self control. i think it's safe to say that in this day and age, if superheroes actually existed, it would be just as bloody, gory, and graphic as Millar wrote in Kick-Ass, which is exactly the point he was trying to make, that in actuality, the comic book world probably isn't how things would actually work

U dont mess with a guy called mother fucker

LMAO Very creative name.

So do any of you know what "Red Mist" refers to?  Well, I mean, what I always assumed Millar was talking about anyways.  "Red Mist" or sometimes "Pink Mist" is what someone becomes when they're too close to a hand grenade or other explosive.  It's a term used very often to refer to someone who's been completely obliterated.  They're "Red Mist".  Like, "Hey don't walk that way, or you'll be red mist".  Or, "One of those lands next to you, and you're just red mist".  Because explosives, from time to time, do turn people into a reddish mist.

  
Just pointing out that "Red Mist" is probably more than just a generic superhero name (although it's kinda generic).

The telling of how super heroes would be in a real world environment was done already and executed much better. It's called Watchmen. "

Well, it fits Millar's personality.

I love you Mark Millar. You clever, clever b@stard.

I'm not going to say that Mark Millar is a bad writer, because he has actually written some pretty impressive stories. Right now I'm not impressed. This is just unclever, unfunny, and uncreative. I mean really? That’s what you’re going to write. I'm supposed to get into this?  
 
I am all for mature comics, but this isn't mature, its high school. In fact it’s almost laughable. Boobs, blood, and bad words. Wow, the f word! How shocking! Weak sauce.
