Build your own SUPER-VILLAIN TEAM-UP

Having gotten most of the way through ESSENTIAL SUPERVILLAIN TEAM-UP, it strikes me that the law these dastardly villains break most is the trade descriptions act, as they fail to team up in any sense whatsoever.

Also, Wally Wood was a genius and Gerry Conway... wasn't.

But seeing as DR DOOM and the SAVAGE SUB-MARINER have had enough team-ups to make you want to vomit up a lung - WHICH DEVILISH DO-BADDERS would FEAR-CAUSINGLY FORM a TEAM-UP OF TERROR DEMONIACALLY DESIGNED to TRAUMATICALLY TAKE OVER the WORLD, WORRISOME ONE??? Answers on a postcard - EFFENDI!!!

Dr Doom and Dormammu or some other bigtime Dr Strange antagonist -- I've always liked the mystic dabbler aspect of Doom, especially given the way it contrasts him with Richards ... even though most of the stories focusing on same have been not so good.

Magneto/Nightmare! Because, um, they were the first two that came to mind.

I suck at this.

Lex Luthor and Ivor Lott.

"Choke - with their combined riches, no scheme is beyond their reach! Could this spell doom for the JLA - or will Mustapha Million turn the tide??"

Kobra & HYDRA team up & bear their fangs in next summer's huge DC / Marvel crossover event, ANTI-VENOM!

Marvel Hitler and DC Hitler!

Dormammu and Great Cthulhu!

Er, uhm, Dormammu and Fin Fang Foom! He's an otherdimensional despot! He's an ageless dragon bigger than Godzilla! Together they're the ultimate in destruction! Oh no! There goes Tokyo! And Moscow! And San Diego! And Sauk City!

MODOK and Arnim Zola! One's a giant head! The other has no head but some kind of weird face on his chest and a box where his face is supposed to be! Together, they make almost one non-freakish human!

SUPERVILLAIN TEAM-UP is pretty great, by the way. I wish they'd strip the dialogue/text out of Gene Colan's solo Doom story, which was epic. That and I wish there was more than one Wally Wood to go around.

I never understood why Galactus and Paste-Pot Pete never teamed up. The combined might of their world devouring powers and being able to stick stuff together no-one would be able to stop them.

Mysterio and Black Manta would be good too, because Black Manta could swim in Mysterio's fishbowl bonce.

It's world-shaking plans like the Manta-Mysterio team's plan to enlarge Mysterio to a colossal size and have Black Manta swim about in his head that the comics world's missing.

How about a new Batman Revenge Squad made up of all the crooks who have origins that oddly mirror Batman's? I can think of at least four, plus the Joker if recent family-killin' developments are taken into account.

Or left handed bad guys. I always assumed that was why the Sinister Six were so called, because there sure as hell was nothing else sinister about them (and old bloke in a turkey costume notwithstanding).

If the Toymaster and Brainiac had worked out their anti-Superman emnities sooner they could have trapped him in a rubbish computer game. Much like all the superman computer games, now I think about it. Maybe they did already.

Pete, I think that "trap Supes in game" was the plot of _Superman III_.

David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 20 September 2004 14:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I was not aware of a plot to Superman III. I though it was a TV sketch show.

Magneto and Metallo would make a great team from a name point of view, though I think Mags would wear the trousers.

Magneto could just get a whole legion of every robot in the world. He could call it "Magneto's Robo-Legion Of Horror" and it could be written by Neil Gaiman in a sensitive portrayal of what it feels like to be a story. A story about a robot controlled by giant magnets.

Vic Fluro, Monday, 20 September 2004 15:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Best comic ever.

Has Magneto ever taken on Iron Man?

This reminds me of how upset I used to get whenever Green Lantern would carry the Flash through space or whatever in a green bubble.
"But his boots are yellow!"

"Flash - do a handstand - or be LOST to the DEPTHS of SPACE!!"

BAREFOOT GOES THE SPEEDSTER OF THE SPACEWAYS
