Who's the Best... Super-Villain in the Bronze Age? + Civil War Trailer #2!


Doug: I am going to request that today's answers be supported with some rationale based on dastardly doings that fell within our generally accepted parameters of 1970-85 (if you're new, we've had this dates conversation several times). For example, ol' Norman Osborn's Green Goblin could be at the top of someone's list because he killed Spidey's love, Gwen Stacy. That's pretty awful, hence it could surely qualify GG on a heinous "best" list. So give us some additional fodder for consideration after you make your nomination. Oh, and just because a particular devilish plan was thwarted should not keep us from talking about the intent of the do-badder.

Thanks!



Doug: And of course by now everyone (say it isn't so if you have not!!) has seen the second Captain America: Civil War trailer. It is a feast -- I am really excited for this flick! And, how about the reference in the clip to the cover featured below? How cool is that?

Discuss: Multi-Hero Menaces, Plus Alex Ross Paints the Hulk


Doug: Our second post in what has become a quarterly Super Blog Team-Up will run tomorrow, and as the theme winging your way across 12 blogs is super-villains, I thought we could dip our toe in the water today and discuss some multi-hero nasties!

Doug: I only included Marvel baddies below as examples, so feel free to throw out some DC (or other company's) villains for discussion. Be sure to say where you felt your nominees worked best -- was the Rhino more interesting as a Hulk bad-guy, for example? Additionally, who was a one-book villain who should have spread the hate a bit more?



Doug: I just saw this on Twitter, in a tweet from Marvel about a new writer on the Hulk series. This is the cover to Hulk #5, by Alex Ross. Methinks it be rather spectacular.

Discuss: Bald Guys (and Gal)


Doug:  Any follically-challenged characters are fair game (Professor X, the Gladiator, Dr. Sivana, and Egghead are additional examples) -- these are just some nominees.
