got the images working today, enjoy:
Ok you know there are villains out there that you love, but no else seems to, why? well that's complicated, but it mostly has to do with what strikes you, and what strikes others. this list is my list of possible great villains, but havn't lived up to their potential yet.
5. Shocker
This villain is the sorta basic henchman all of the other cooler villains. That’s frankly why he’s never been on a best or worst list, and frankly he should stay where he is that way, but I would like to see him and his powers featured more.
He shoots through anything using sonic blasters attached to his wrists. He’s actually quite powerful, but he doesn’t use his tools that well, and frankly he wears a suit that looks like an oven mitt. He doesn’t have much of a personality, but then he doesn’t really need one, he basically is the over powered guy who works for the masterminds. He does the dirty work so the major players can keep to their tasks, like taking over the world.
That being said, he needs to lose the suit, and wear something less grandma’s kitchen, and more high tech spy, and he also needs to do more espionage, and just needs to be featured more.
Potential: to be the coolest henchman ever.
4. The Riddler
Ok this is a villain with a lot of real potential if it weren’t for how complicated they make him. The greatest thing they could do is to make him a simpler villain. Right now he wears that ridiculous green suit, and then he goes around creating elaborate traps and puzzles for Batman. If you were to make him dress in street clothes, and merely a killer who wrote poetic riddles with each murder, he would be cool.
Oh and I don’t mean obvious riddles, Make them poetic pieces that have nothing to do with the murder seemingly, but contain clues. I would also like it to be made to where Riddler used a lot of visual puzzles. He could be like some twisted artistic murderer, but in his current form he’s more like that weird uncle who thinks he’s really clever, but everyone knows he’s not.
Potential: A scary killer who finds art in what he does, and intellectually challenges Batman.
3. The Clock King
A slightly lesser known Batman villain; he’s actually pretty cool in that he’s mastered the ability to time anything accurately. He knows what is going to happen before it does because he’s so careful to make sure nothing could go wrong. The problem isn’t really him, his ability, or even his personality, it lies in one weird thing the comic artist who created him did, he themed everything about the guy around clocks. I’m serious, this guy wear clock GLASSES, and then because of this his dialogue often goes something like this.
Clock King: “You couldn’t figure out when the train would arrive because you didn’t take into account daylight savings.”
Batman: “You’ll never get away with this Clock King” (ok One other thing, his name is kinda funny too, just so absurd)
Clock King: “Oh look, you’re all out of time.”
Yep, that pretty sums up his dialogue. He himself however is really interesting, and his obsession with perfect timing has lead him to be an unusually dangerous foe, he just needs to tone it down on the clock part of his obsession.
Potential: A continual threat who knows when and how to exploit every one of batman’s moves
2. Sebastian Shaw
Ok I bet a lot of you don’t know about this guy, it’s really odd because he’s like the only X-Men villain I like. Why you ask? He’s understated, he’s charming, and he’ll kill as soon as he gets what he wants.
He’s the leader of a high end Super villain club known as the Hellfire club. The Hellfire club is already kinda weird, they have several leaders based off of chess pieces, and different colors the most prominent ones are white and black, but in Europe there is a red group as well. Anyway Sebastian was originally the White King when he was dating the White Queen AKA Emma Frost. When she switched over to the X-men, he abandoned post and fought for his place as the Black King. He’s been in all kinds of stories, but his main problem is that he doesn’t do much in the way of evil deeds.
Yes he’s done all kinds of evil, but he doesn’t ever do anything impressive. That’s really the only thing holding him back, if he could be the centerpiece of just ONE major event in the X-men universe he’d be an instant favorite of many, but because this really cool villain hasn’t done anything yet, he’s not that well known.
on a side note, though not really interesting, he has the power to absorb impact and turn it into strength. so the more you punch him, the stronger he gets.
Potential: TO become the true arch nemesis of the X-men
1. Mysterio
Ok if you’ve ever followed Spiderman anything, you’ll know this guy, and you’ll remember him too, why? He wears a fish bowl on his head! Actually that boils down pretty much every problem with him, he’s just too flamboyant. This guy goes over the top everywhere he goes, he’s a master illusionist, but his illusions are just absurd like: Winged skeletons…. Or giant man eating moles…. Or zombie aliens. I’m not making this stuff up people, this is the quality of stuff he’s churned out.
Whenever he’s churned out something cool like making Spiderman think every person he was trying to save was brutally murdered: he’s been scary, he’s made Spider-man question his grip on reality, but for every time he does that, he has a thousand evil mutant killer bees.
Potential: to be a scary mind warping character that twists people’s perceptions until they don’t know what’s real and what’s not.
