Virman Vundabar is one of the New Gods, a fictional race created by Jack Kirby for DC Comics. A resident of Apokolips, he is a minion of Granny Goodness, and models his personality and schemes on Prussian military appearance and precision. He is a nemesis of Mister Miracle. His niece, Malice, is a junior member of the Female Furies who can control a shadow monster named Chessure. He is occasionally (as in the Elesworld Superman: The Dark Side) depicted as a double of Adolf Hitler.

[edit] Trivia

The name "Vundabar" is a corruption of the German word "wunderbar", which means "wonderful". This name was given to him by Granny Goodness.

[edit] Other Media

Vundabar has appeared in an episode of Justice League Unlimited. In that episode, he was in control of Apokolips when Darkseid disappeared and held Kalibak as a prisoner. He was voiced by Arte Johnson. He also makes a cameo appearance in the Justice League Unlimited episode Alive, where he tried to take over Apokolips from Granny Goodness and the Female Furies.

[edit] Note

His name has varied over the years between Vundabar and Vunderbarr. His name in his first appearance was Vundabar.
