Suicyde King is a fictional character from the VVaywards comic book series published by VS Comics. He is one of the most unpredictable and polarizing characters in the series—a rogue warrior forged by loss and rage, wielding chaos as both weapon and shield. With a dark past tied to state experimentation and urban warfare, Suicyde King walks the line between hero and menace, often questioning whether he fights for justice or vengeance.
Biography
Suicyde King’s true name is unknown. What is known is that he once led a resistance cell in the slums of East Seattle during the early years of the Ascendancy regime. After a failed insurrection, he was captured and subjected to psychological conditioning and neural combat experiments.
He survived—and escaped—but not unchanged. Wracked by visions and a fractured mind, he re-emerged as “Suicyde King,” a vigilante feared for his brutality and revered for his results. Though not officially part of the VVaywards at first, he becomes a necessary ally—particularly when chaos demands a chaotic answer.
His codename is a defiant mockery of the system that tried to erase him. He is suicide to the machine, king of his own fate.
Appearance
Suicyde King is raw and rugged, with an aesthetic that blends street warrior, anarchist, and nightmare fuel:
Medium brown hair, often messy and unkempt
A black nose-and-mouth mask, giving him a menacing, restrained appearance
A red shirt under a worn brown vest
A long black trenchcoat, battered from years in the field
Dark blue jeans and black Nike shoes
Wears metal gauntlets designed for both defense and destruction
His visual presentation is chaotic but calculated—his silhouette alone often enough to send enemies running.
Personality
Suicyde King is intense, philosophical, and unstable. He speaks in riddles, poetry, and screams... sometimes all in one breath. His erratic behavior is not without purpose; it conceals deep trauma and makes him impossible to predict in battle.
He resents authority and refuses to follow orders unless he agrees with the intent behind them. Despite his volatility, Suicyde King has moments of profound insight and empathy, especially toward the oppressed and broken.
He believes in destruction—but only of systems that corrupt. And if he must go down in the fire, he’ll make sure those in power burn with him.
