Rex Rigid

Rex Rigid is a supporting character in Don Simpson's satirical superhero comic Megaton Man, inhabiting a world that gleefully parodies superhero conventions. He shares the irreverent Kitchen Sink Press universe alongside characters like Megaton Man and Yarn Man.

Rex Rigid made his debut in the very first issue of Don Simpson's satirical superhero romp Megaton Man back in 1984 — a Bronze Age arrival from the irreverent underground-flavored world of Kitchen Sink Press, where superhero conventions were as much fair game for skewering as celebrating. Sharing panels with the likes of Megaton Man himself, Yarn Man, and Trent Phloog, Rex has kept genuinely offbeat company across a catalog that stretches a remarkable nearly four decades, popping up in Megaton Man, Bizarre Heroes, and Don Simpson's Bizarre Heroes along the way. With eight appearances including one collector-recognized key issue, he's a cult figure in the truest sense — the kind of character that rewards fans who dig deeper into the wilder, weirder corners of comics history. If you have a soft spot for the Bronze Age's more subversive side, Rex Rigid is exactly the sort of find that makes flipping through back issues worthwhile.
