Yeah Xykon seems to be pretty much an actual bad ass who got tired of just killing his enemies and decided to have fun instead. Except for every now and again when someone does something that actually annoys him.

Yes, Xykon is one of the best villains around. I love how he totally fucks with his victims. Anyone read his origin book? Good stuff.
The start of darkness takes this comic to a whole nother level. It even made me switch sides to the bad guys during the azure city war, "this ones for you mom" indeed.
