If you could turn a villain into a hero in the canon DC/Marvel universe, who would it be?

>venom already a hero
>doc cock a hero too

since hydra cap was a thing I say we need an heroic take on the red skull

The original one, not cap's bastard son

Inverted Sabretooth was great so I'd bring him back.

I'm not sure how you'd write a redeemed rapist but it would be interesting to see

Wanted to say Joker but they already did it. I would've kept him alive. Supervillains becoming wholesome is some good shit.

I'd like the title of Arno Stark, the Origin of Ultimate Tony Stark mixed with the recent quadriplegic Arno Stark origin story, but that the Nanite's fixed it the way they fixed Ultimate Tony's over sensitive skin. And the powers of Gregory Stark from Ultimate. I would like to be entirely undocumented in the 616 universe that I am in with the exception that at anytime I can claim half of what Tony owns, and whatever portion of S.H.E.I.L.D. Howard Stark has a right to know if influence. I would look like Sawyer from Lost mixed with extra young Clint Eastwood. I would be as old as the World's Fair. I would escape the destruction of the Universe with my powers, my super high tech clothes and one possibly unquestioning boon, like an Infinity Stone from another universe, or a dead Ultimate Thor and Mjolnir.

My contemporaries would be Ultimate Mysterio, Ultimate Miles Morales, Ultimate Reed Richards and Dr Doom of 616.

She could be a fun Anti-hero or even a hero.

Taskmaster. Agent X era antihero taskmaster will always be my favourite.

Based as fuck, no one ever talks about him

He’s more of an antihero/corporate raider but I would love a solo show or movie. Would also love him in 2099 universe.

Taskmaster was based and could be great, hopefully they don’t fuck him in BW

What a guy

I want the Lizard and Rhino to be changed to good, fuck if Juggs is on Thunderbolts how come he can’t

Yeah, I mean, I might wear that sometimes.

the lizard helping spider-man in the secret wars episode of the 90’s cartoon was good

He deserves a fucking break.

Yeah it was, love the lizard.

>turning Mysterio into a good guy after that fucking Daredevil arc
You could literally throw a dart at a random collection of Spidey villains and get a better pick. Top of the pile is Shocker (has repeatedly indicated he wants to go good and just hasn't been afforded the opportunity), Sandman (is literally being mind controlled to be evil...Marvel just forgot), and Rhino (had his fucking arc and was well and truly done with villainy until Ben fucked it up).

Anyway
>DC
Riddler's insanity clears up and stays cleared up.
>Marvel
Mephisto reveals he's part of some vast cosmic balance serving the greater good and all the jobbing was intentional.

>>turning Mysterio into a good guy after that fucking Daredevil arc
I will never fucking forgive Kevin Smith for that trash

Neck or face?

Fucking this. I honestly wanted Eddie to stay a PI after the hush story line, if only because I would love to see him be a smug bastard to everyone involved in the GCPD and Bat-family about how he is a brilliant fucking detective.

Side note: Imagine a heroic Riddler working with Vic Sage. The levels of autism there would be hilarious

But Taskmaster is a deep cover SHIELD agent in 616. He's already a hero. He just doesn't know it.

>Vic Sage
I'd rather him work with his no longer beaten to death daughter.

It would not surprise me if this guy made it to the MCU as some kind of anti hero. That is how good the character is

Atleast it looks less retarded now

Boomerang is overrated. Also very clearly not a hero.

Inversion is a shitty way to redeem someone and it just reinforces how much of a shitbag they were in the first place and how little they deserve the opportunity.

Pretty sure Edward hates Vic after the embarrassing incident on the bus

>Marvel
You know since the only version of Umar anyone remembers has said she doesn't give a rat's ass about Earth anymore, I'd find it funny if she showed up just to help out Immortal Hulk from time to time or to flex on rival villains

>DC
Okay, trickier. What makes a lot of DC villains great is what colossal assholes they are. I'd say Killer Croc but I think that's actually kind of happening in a new comic at the moment and (sue me) I actually kind of like the Killer Frost redemption arc in Rebirth even if I despise Harley's so...

I'll have to get back to you on that. Pic related's killed some of my brain cells.

Who? Tombstone?

I used to do RP's to this effect all the time back when running City of Heroes. My favourites included:

>Killer Croc
A down on his luck, single father looking after his adopted daughter, Cassandra Cain. He and Cass met whilst they were both out on the streets together. After finding out that Cass couldn't read, he buckled down, got serious about finding work, eventually, getting hired by the Gotham Knights as a star Quarterback. Eventually, he was kicked out, due to his mutations failing his drug-exam. After losing his main source of income, he was forced to work for the mob for a bit, but eventually decided that it wasn't worth it. As he got to the end of his rope, he was approached by CADMUS to work for them, in return for them paying for Cass' education.

>Professor Zoom
Still a villain at heart, but after accidentally killing Barry, he quickly figures out that the only reason that he hasn't faded out of existance is because he now has to take Barry's place. So he becomes The Flash, in order to ensure that the future doesn't change to the point where he is never born.

>Juggernaut
Ridiculously protective older brother, known for taking on anyone and everyone that picked on his brainiac little brother. They eventually joined the military together and on a mission to Cambodia, they found the Crimson Gem. Cain and Charles go off to become a superhero duo, with Cain as the muscle and Charles being able to shut Cain down whenever he goes out of control. Epic Bromance ensued.

Fuck man, I think it's about time that nearly half of Batman's rogues gallery become heroes at this point, I mean, DC isn't doing anything with them so why not? I'd want to have Mr Freeze, Two-Face and Riddler be permanently rehabilitated and become honorary members of the Batfamily.
Legitimately, my dream would be to unfuck the Iron Man canon surrounding his rogues and make it so that there were only ever two Crimson Dynamos. Ivan Vanko as the first, who defects shortly afterwards because he's just a scientist who doesn't want to die and decides to work with Stark, and Dmitri Bukharin, who becomes Russia's state-sponsored Iron Man and acts as a heroic, but openly competitive rival to Stark from then on.

Black Adam

His suicide squad arc was great

As a DC fag ?

Blockbuster.

>is a literal who a-lister
>overrated

Just because the Yea Forums echo chamber wants to him doesn't make him overrated.

Also, he better fucking not become a hero or antihero. He's perfect as is

Hobgoblin for riches and charisma or someone insanely powerful like Shadow King

>If you could turn a villain into a hero
You mean as in committing suicide or...

Ok, guys, what about this:
Red Skull redemption arc.
I just want see the reactions to a literal Nazi becoming a hero or trying to redeem himself.

proabably the escape car guy in the fantastic foes of spideman, his motivations could lean towards being s superhero.

Superboy Prime, but only as a past version of him spooked by his future self and then adopting a completely separate identity from supes.

I would love heroic Mysterio. He would constantly show-off his heroic deeds and every other hero would hate him for it. And the best part is that they wouldn´t be able to do anything to him because he would be kinda competent at his job.

That would doom Overdrive to being forgotten.
Literally the only reason to care about him is his origin of "I became a supervillain because I want to join the Avengers and they ALWAYS take reformed villains".

That's a good hook for a villain, but you redeem him? He's just another unremarkable hero.
Better a c-list villain than a d-list hero

Was gonna post them. Atleast Cold hanged out with the JL for awhile

Not permanently, but Doctor Phosphorus could have a really interesting hero run.

nice bulge!
