If you are considering becoming an evil villain with a Scorpion theme, I think we found your next office chair. Anyone who enters your lair will immediately be put in their place.

The Scorpion Chair by Vyacheslav Pakhomov sends a nice clear message that failure will not be tolerated. It costs 230,000 rubles, which is about $5,749(USD). That’s not all that much for a super-villain of your caliber right?

It looks pretty comfy too. Version 2.0? The walking scorpion chair.

Fantasy Scorpion Arm Blade: You’ll Tear Your Eye out Kid

What do you want for Christmas? I want a razor sharp wrist/arm blade that’s shaped like a scorpion with a pointy sharp death tail. Can I have it? Can I have it mom? Please? No… You’ll tear your eye out, kid.

This crazy thing is called the Death Stalker and you can see why. Yeah, this weapon looks like a bunch of fun. If you consider hospital visits a full time hobby.

Giant Metal Scorpion is the Terminator of Arthropods

If there’s one critter that I think universally gives people the creeps, it’s the scorpion. While only a very small percentage are deadly enough to kill humans, they’re still pretty nasty looking creatures, and not the type of thing I’d want to run into while walking around the desert. And if I saw a scorpion that looked like this, I’d get back in my car and drive as fast as I could.

This oversize metal scorpion was made by Kreatworks from discarded automotive and machine parts, and measures about 8.25 inches-long. That makes it much larger than the relatively tiny scorpions we tend to think about here in America. But if you happen to live in South Africa, it turns out that there are real scorpions that are almost the same size. I will not be able to sleep tonight knowing that fact.

Now the metal variant doesn’t seem as scary to me, though I’m still not buying one for fear it might come to life and attack me in the middle of the night. If you’ve got no fear of scorpions, you can order one of these bad boys over on Etsy for $89.

Scrap Metal Scorpion Hammock Adds Some Sting to Your Nap

Hammocks are a comfortable way to take a nap. Just ask Homer Simpson. Usually you just attach each end to a tree and then doze off for a while. However, hardcore nappers will want to set their hammock up on something like this badass scrap metal scorpion.

And, no, that stinger isn’t an alarm that comes down and wakes you up with a venomous sting. Although that would be cool.

You know what else would be cool? If this scorpion moved and walked around while you took a nap. Imagine falling asleep in your yard and waking up on the highway as this thing slowly carries you across the country. Yeah, that would be pretty cool. Napping and traveling.

This metal creation is pretty cool as it is though – a bed truly fit for a Bond villain.

Steampunk Redesigns of Spider-Man and His Villains

There’s nothing really quite like steampunk, and it seems every superhero and every popular geek icon needs to undergo some sort of steampunk re-design, including Spider-Man and a substantial section of his stock of villains, done brilliantly by Denis Medri.
