racer x isnt a villian, he is speed’s long lost older brother who is a spy and uses the racing circuit as cover.

Besides…you might not have to wait too long to see Matthew playing a villain…there’s still 5 weeks left in season 3!

As a kid (and still as an adult) I *LOVER* Speed Racer!!!! And super car the Mark V. (why 5, who knows!).

As I recall Racer X is Speed’s older brother who left home many many many years before to become a super racer. His father, the super mechanic, didn’t want him to be a racer so he left and took on the persona of Racer X. He’s not necessarily an evil/bad guy. Just a loner.

I sure hope they do the Mark V special effects well!!!!

Yeah loved it too. And Racer X was the first crush I ever had. Funny, Fox looks like him. (Though no crush there.)

Yes. Racer X was a square-jawed character and Fox definately has a strong jawline too. But he’s not as bulked as Racer X and his voice is a bit too high pitched IMO.

Villian my eye. his season ending backstory will make him the mega-hero for all of the Losties.. tho they won’t know it until next season. he & Locke are in serious cahoots to get ALL of the folks off of the island - Losties and Others Alike. Naomi is the planted antagonist that was sent to keep everyone there and keep the mission in-place for the corporate manipulators and para-militaries that have designs on the islands ‘capabilities’ and ‘potential’ value.

Fingers, toes, eyes arms, legs…if it’s crossable I’m crossing it. I hope this is true, I love this man.
