=== The Rhyming Man ===
'''The Rhyming Man''' is a [[villain]] who debuted in a [[Mickey Mouse (comic strip)|comic strip]] storyline, ''The Atombrella and the Rhyming Man'' (May–October, 1948), written by [[Bill Walsh (producer)|Bill Walsh]] with art by [[Floyd Gottfredson]].<ref>[https://www.cbr.com/a-classic-mickey-mouse-tale-comes-to-boom-in-april/ A Classic Mickey Mouse Tale Comes to BOOM! in April], Cbr.com, 19 February 2011</ref> His name derives from the fact that he always talks in [[rhyme]]s. A spy working for an unspecified foreign nation, the Rhyming Man tried to steal [[#Eega Beeva|Eega Beeva]]'s anti-atomic invention but was ultimately foiled by Mickey Mouse and Eega Beeva. An unusually dark and violent character by Disney comics standards, he was shown to actually murder one of his underlings. He was also depicted as possessing near-superhuman strength, the origin of which was never explained. Though never used again by American authors, the Rhyming Man was reused in Italian [[comic book]]s first in a 1994 story where he appeared to have reformed, then in 2008 as the central antagonist of the four-part science-fiction story ''Topolino e il mondo che verrà'' in which he returned to his villainous roots.<ref>[https://www.fumettologica.it/2018/09/topolino-mondo-che-verra-casty/ “Topolino e il mondo che verrà”, il kolossal di Casty], ''[[Fumettologica]]'', 18 September 2018</ref>
