Goddammit, it's time some of these characters got their due. Post characters you like, but seldom used outside of cameos/joke appearances. Furthermore, post things you would do with them, be it story related, costume change, whatever.
I'll start things off with Doctor Polaris. Magneto hogs all the spotlight just because he went through the Holocaust
Doesn't he have a female split personality that dresses like a 1920's femme fatale because brain magnets or something?
I remember reading that story. He fought Superman in it.
I have never heard of this but now genuinely curious. Doctor Polaris being bi-polar would make sense too.
The Basilisk is a pretty cool guy.
He has a pretty strong power set, it's kind of crazy to me that his only roles in recent years have been "capture the Punisher," and "get teamed up with Looter".
Dr. Bi-Polaris
I'd have him oneshot a Symbiote.
See the problem with Great White Shark is that he's (no pun intended) a small fish in a big pond. When you have Black Mask and The Penguin basically running most of Gotham's criminal underworld there's not much to go around. Him working with Tiger Shark would be fun. Which speaking of, fuck you, I like the pic related look far more than that bandanna/suit look he's been sporting as of late
He honestly should. I don't know who thought it was a good idea to have Venom beat Shocker like he was nothing.
MOTHERFUCKING BULLS-EYE
Is it that time again?
The Wrecking Crew, but with tits!
Yeah, but when he's a chick they drop the "doctor" part because women can't be doctors
His original origin was that he was a Jekyll and Hyde type. Normally a benevolent scientist who wanted to improve quality of life with MAGNETS, but used an invention that unleashes an evil personality who wants to rule the world. He also originally was a pure science villain with no powers of his own, and only became a Magneto clone later on. Don't thin his alternate personality is female tho, at least that I saw.
ollie has a literal whole rogue's gallery of forgotten villains from his first 3 decades of publication
If you like me so much then what's my real name?
Yep. "Her" name is Repulse and she is modeled after Polaris' abusive aunt.
Carl?
Joey...Jo Jo Jr....Shabadoo?
That's the stupidest name I've ever heard.
You gonna wash your hands?
Dr. Poe Larry?
Superman of course also has an absurd amount of forgotten villains given how many comics he has under his belt.
He ALSO has a magnetic villain in the form of the Planeteer
Here's one who was once considered a prominent part of his rogues' gallery.
Yes he was one of the most frequently appearing Superman villains of the 40s. It was basically Luthor, Prankster and Wolfingham in the top, with Toyman and Mxyztplk behind them-
Could someone help clarify Psycho Pirate's powers?
Two of them currently work for the Wasps, but they give the impression that they're terrible at their jobs.
Controlling people's emotions with his magic mask.
Right but it's also a form of vampirism correct? Is it like one of those powers that sounds weak but actually really OP? Because I could see making a hero manic depressive or blinded with rage against an ally could be useful
It's a really op ability because it affects normal humans and superman tier characters on the same way. Plus his range varies considerably, when he was the Anti Monitor's herald he could manipulate the emotions of all the people in 3 different earths
Really? Got any pages you could post? That sounds amusing
lady blaze and satannus
Didn't he die? I remember something in Deadpool where we was one of a number of clones made of dead characters and there was a bit where he had grenades shoved into his eyes.
That clone was made before the original got resurrected.
Basically
>Scourge of the Underworld murdered original Basilisk
>Arnim Zola cloned Basilisk
>Deadpool murdered clone
>The Hand resurrected original Basilisk
>Original Basilisk is still running around somewhere, last seen (afaik) teaming up with Looter and getting beat up by Superior Spider-Man
Shit, I meant "The Hood" not "the Hand"
N'Kantu the Living Mummy. One of the not-undead horror/supernatural characters Marvel made. When he does show up its often as magical egyptian mummy, when that's not what he was at all. Noble Warrior-King of his people, he led a revolt against those that would enslave his them, but was captured. Made immortal and paralyzed he was entombed for thousands of years before breaking free in the modern day. And went right on being a stand up guy who was also a Mummy. Sort of an ancient african Captain America with an image problem.
I'd like him to interact with Black Panther, king to king, maybe call Wakandans on their historical jerkiness.
Between Polaris, Magneto, and Magenta I think as evidence, I've thought that magnetism powers seem to induce mental instability somehow. Don't know if there's anything actually to that, but just appeared to be anyway.
I'm not even sure if this guy was intended to be a super-villain but he's infamous for being really lame.
Originally Magenta's mental instability was her being possessed by Polaris who was trapped in another dimension. Then later on they just decided she was craycray
I recognize Swarm, the Squid, Killer Shrike (of course), and I think... Trapster?
>TRapster
Close...Melter
The others are 8-Ball and Delilah
Melter? Really? Somehow I liked some of his older looks better than that.
Lame!? He's an economic mastermind. His masterful manipulations robbed Canada of its entire penny supply. They were forced to eliminate the penny completely and round everything up or down. Who knows what other nations he has or will terrorize. Maybe the USA will be next, only the Penny Plunderer knows. He has one mission, to claim all the pennies in the world and no one can stop him.
It's probably just the artist, the costume itself sn't a bad one.
He so lame that they retconned Batman's giant penny now sitting in the Batcave as a item once belonging to Two-Face
That's drawn better anyway, but still kind of dull.
Kind of a boring costume.
she's only notable for starting out with a gritty "street clothes" costume and then adopting a leotard when she became a hero
That actually looks better.
Nah.
It's a more pertinent design to her MO.
>conned his way into an eternity of torturing demons in hell instead of being tortured
>can LITERALLY do whatever he wants with no fear of eternal consequences
he's based
Before Sideways was DC's answer to Spider-Man, there was another attempt at a young up-and-coming hero. I really liked his character arc when it was running through the Superman comics back in the late 90s.
The Supermen of America, right?
I'll raise you Gamma Corps Black.
>Penny Plunderer
>Lame
Dude turned his bad luck charm into an unstoppable symbol of criminal power. He was awesome.
I'm of the opinion that there aren't any lame Batman villains. Except maybe the current ones. And Doctor Fang.
>Hold-Up
>Hijack
>Blackmail
>Payroll
>Stocks
>Bonds
>Antiques
>Imported Jewelry
>Domestic Jewelry
>Silks
>Furs
>Railroad
>Theater
>Railroad
>Radio
>Bank
>Art
Holy fuck, that target is a cornucopia of storytelling possibilities.
>Delilah
I like Delilah, she had weird gimmick when she talked where certain words would be in different fonts and colors in her earlier appearances. Though I wish that they wouldn't change her design every time she pops up.
What'd she do though? Does she have powers?
This costume is way better than
Jesus that high 90s cut.
She was an assassin working for the Rose, she's super strong and durable enough to fight Spidey.
Ice is fucking hilarious
And nowadays they gave her pants because of course they did.
>Green Arrow spends weeks trying to figure out the links in Bulls-Eye's crime spree
>it's just a fucking dartboard with crimes written on it
Ooh right, I remember. She was muscle for the Rose in the 90's, yeah?
Sorry to burst your bubble buddy, but she didn't have any pants this time either.
Shark-Girl's right. She's way too skinny there.
She hasn't been hitting the gym since the Rose died.
>Lambisgoia
Brazilian here. No one born after the 80's says this.
Is that top left panel from an issue of Spider-Man where Nate Grey showed up? I actually miss their friendship
Yeah, that's the one. Shame he just kind of fell off the map and no one's bothered to do anything with him since.
>Born after the 80s
How young is Shark Girl supposed to be?
I miss Obsidian
Literally only care about Dala in this one story.
