HERO-WORSHIP HARE

Former Brothers Present Nasty Rabbit in:

HERO-WORSHIP HARE
Nasty is knocked unconscious in a motorcycle accident, and in his amnesiac state, is convinced by an unscrupulous promoter that he is Mega Man, Defender of Liberty! Not realizing it's all for a costumed event to promote a new movie at the local theater, Nasty tries to figure out why his super powers aren't working (never questioning what they're supposed to be, exactly) and runs afoul of the notorious Pack Rat gang, led by a mysterious master criminal known only as "The Spade."

The only recurring villains in the Nasty Rabbit Universe come from "Hero-Worship Hare." The Spade returns as the main villain in "The Rabbit Who Loved Me," with a third appearance hinted at for an upcoming episode. Honorable mention is given to his bald henchman (called either "Howie" or "Casey"), who gets a promotion of sorts and appears as The Big Cheese in "Nasty Rabbit Must Die." Neither seems to recognize the other.

SONG-DROPPING: 

Born to Be Wild (Mars Bonfire)

Love in an Elevator (Tyler/Perry) by Aerosmith; possibly a follow-up joke to its use in "Rabbit Rescue Mission."



"One of the best rejections I ever got was from DC Comics. Not as good as Dark Horse's submissions department, who wrote back to me with encouragement and suggestions, but... DC told me people were more interested in superheroes these days, and not characters like Nasty Rabbit. So I thought, fine. You want a superhero? I'll knock Nasty out, and when he wakes up, he'll be one! And just like that, Nasty had an arch-nemesis." **
