professor Verybad

RAVING MAD OR JUST CURIOUS?

Curious in the sense of bizarre: since his first appearance, in issue 25, it has not yet been understood whether we should place him among Zagor's enemies or friends. The name itself is ambiguous: Verybad means "very bad", but how can someone with such an ironic name be very bad? His profession, then, would leave no doubt about the wickedness of the individual: inventor of futuristic devices whose aim is mass destruction. Except that he christens them "Amelia" or "Beniamino", as if they were his children, and the masses he prefers to destroy are made up of ants and cockroaches. In his madness, in short, a "sympathetic enemy". Or, if you prefer, a "friend to fight".
