The Shadowmen were a team of henchmen who served the villain Phantom Limb on The Venture Bros.
Group History[]
The Monarch met his future wife Dr. Girlfriend while he was henching for Phantom Limb as "Shadowman 9" and she was serving as Limb's Number 2, Queen Etheria. They fell in love and ran away together, pinning their defection on Manotaur, from the Fraternity of Torment.
When the Council of 13 held a crucible to determine The Monarch's guilt in arching Dr. Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture without a Guild license, Dr. Mrs. The Monarch and her husband were able to argue the Monarch's innocence due to Phantom Limb apparently looking the other way on purpose. After all, they reasoned, would Phantom Limb really believe that a skinny young villain like the Monarch was actually the musclebound but retired Manotaur?
In the post-credits epilogue, it turned out that Phantom Limb actually did believe the ruse, and subsequently killed Manotaur.
