Scridgebee - A character that you like, but that said character is so much of a bastard that you hate (affectionate) them at the same time.
Example: Crowley from Supernatural.
"Ugh, Crowley is such a scridgebee."

(w) Torunn GronBekk (a) Julius Ohta (colorist) Bryan Valenza There were 3 editors on this comic: Editor in Chief - C.B. Cebulski Editor - Mark Basso Assistant Editor - Drew Baumgartner Please e-mail mheroes@marvel.com to point out that Victor Von Doom and Valeria Karlea (also known as Valeria, Victor’s first love) were white washed in this issue and inform them that this is unacceptable for two Romani characters.
Two comic pages that show Doctor Doom, Victor Von Doom viewing some old memories, the first memory is of Valeria, a Romani woman that Victor was in love with when they were younger, the third memory shows Victor as a child. The problem with both of these arts is that it depicts both Victor and Valeria as white blonde Caucasian people instead of their true ethnic background which is them being Romani people with dark hair, dark eyes, and varying light to dark skin tones over the years in comics. Although at times Victor’s hair is depicted as a reddish brown instead of a dark brown the fact remains that neither of these characters were ever white blonde looking people. The images above have white washed two characters of color and neither the colorist, nor THREE EDITORS thought to check to make sure that this was corrected.
Victor proudly claims his heritage, and his background is essential to his character’s story and growth. This is NOT a new thing, this has been his original story since his background was first revealed in Fantastic Four (1961) Annual 2.
Valeria has always been a Romani woman, her first appearance is in Marvel Super-Heroes (1967) #20

Once again there is no reason that these two characters were white washed yet here we are in 2022, decades since they first appeared in comics, still dealing with this major problem that occurs to many characters of color within the comics.
“Behind that steel mask, there’s a very handsome guy. Okay, he’s a good looking guy. But there’s one thing wrong with him. He’s got a scratch on his chin. And he’s frustrated; he knows he’s extremely handsome. He knows he’s got the scratch on his chin, but you haven’t.
He doesn’t realize his own anger and frustration is mounting. He’s not a bad guy, as you saw in the Fantastic Four. He’d give the Fantastic Four a wonderful meal… before he’d kill them. Doctor Doom isn’t all bad. And he’s got a lot of class, he’s got a lot of culture. Doctor Doom is a college man, he’s a knowledgeable man.
I can tell you that the gangsters in my own section lived very short lives, not because they were villains or different from anybody else, but because they wanted that $200 suit a little faster than the average guy. And they were willing to do things that would put them in jeopardy and put everyone else in jeopardy. But I can tell you they were good to their mothers.”
- Jack Kirby on Doctor Doom, 1985.

↳ Victor Von Doom
I am not my body. Not my mind. I am… I am the old trunk, filled with ancient mysteries. I am the explosion in the college laboratory. I am the mask that burns with the fires of vengeance. I am the legend that unites this nation. I am the story of Doom.
victor von doom’s parents really gave him that name and expected him not to turn evil
