ITT: Comic villains that should be considered bigger threats than they actually are
Pic related to start with. His main power is literally creating megaton explosions at will.
Graviton
Lucifer, the reason Xavier was crippled, and powerful enough to swat off the likes of Iron Man.
Dr. Cyber, who masters both technology and the occult enough to face off against Wonder Woman.
He's usually no stranger than a grenade when he's not using drugs.
Which is still quite enough
Titannus, a Super Skrull powerful enough to take down Hulk, Strange, She-Hulk, Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Strange altogether, and too delusional to reason with.
If they hurt Mar-Vell then they are clearly stronger than a grenade.
Forgot pic
>friendly reminder he lead to Mar-Vell getting the cancer that killed him
>Introducing Nitro, the man who killed Captain Marvel
He killed the wrong Captain Marvel.
He was kind of a big deal during Civil War. Managed to burn Wolverine down to his adamantium bones.
The Starbrand book bumped him up to cosmic level.
Snowflame
His power is cocaine
Signalman, who managed to crush the Batman with the one thing he could never prepare himself against - the common citizens he has sworn to protect.
Literally erases shit from existence
I had no idea this dude appeared outside of X-Men. Neat.
Why you want Billy death?
it's annoying that writers treat this guy like a joke now
that's wonder woman rogues in general. under used
Well... this is what happened in one of his fight against the T-Bolts.
Graviton is one of those villains where his powerlevel works against him appearing frequently, since all but the heaviest hitters would get completely fucking wrecked against him.
I am surprised that after all he has done they haven't made him a bigger threat or pretty much have everyone who knee Mar-Vell go after him.
I still can't get over the fact that someone did a fancomic of him and it was decent.
Self-detonation isn't a particularly interesting power, especially not when it's "explode then reform" like Nitro's.
My dude Mangog deserves more respect. He possesses the strength of a billion, BILLION beings!
Any power can be interesting depending what you do with it. Maybe writers just don't know what to do with him.
But really causing Civil War and leading to Mar-vell's death and then getting a cosmic upgrade should be enough to do something interesting with him.
It's not that you can't do interesting things with the character, it's that the power itself isn't particularly interesting in action. He explodes then after a little while, reforms so he can explode again. He can explode part of himself for a weaker explosion (that somehow doesn't hurt him even though he expressly lacks any sort of enhanced physiology) and faster rate of explosions. Rather than a cosmic upgrade he seems like he should a team villain.
That is why the Earth Mightiest Heroes first episode was such a blast
I liked the interpretation that he deliberately avoids taking part in ambitious evil shit, because all he want's is to rob enough money for a cushy life and not attract attention of guys like Punisher or get tangled with the Avengers.
