Vandal Savage is one of the oldest villains in DC Comics, dating back to both the Golden Age of Comics and the Age of Cavemen. An enemy of several heroes, his aims, despite his grandiose self-image, are arguably petty or cliché. The same goes for most of his adaptations, though one version of the villain stands above the rest.
The version of Vandal Savage seen in the cartoon Young Justice is easily the best version of the character ever. It takes him beyond a mere would-be conqueror and adds depth to him in ways that other adaptations failed to. It also uses his immortality to great effect, easily eclipsing the source material.
Despite his endless years of experience and inability to die, Vandal Savage’s bark has rarely been worse than his bite. He always comes off in the comics as almost undeservedly pompous, and though he claims to have engineered different historical events, he has little to show for this. Thus, many of these bluffs can be seen as just that, with the immortal caveman being far less important to human history than he lets on. Beyond his inability to die, his other powers are fairly unimpressive, as his enhanced body is only barely “metahuman.” Thus, while heroes such as Batman and Robin might struggle against him, other members of the Justice League should logically wipe the floor with Vandal Savage in a fight. It doesn’t help that he has few truly iconic storylines or epic plots that he’s put into play, making him little more than endless bluster.
