If You Were A Villain Whom Would You Be?
 

If you had to pick a villain from history or fiction whom would you be and why?

We Americans love our bad guys. So if you ask us most would probably say Al Capone or Jesse James.

MAGNETO from X-men

NICE choice! I didn't really respect how powerful Magneto was because during those early Marvel days everyone underestimated the Molecule Man. He was by far the most dangerous and powerful but was so fucked up he never got his thing off.

Yet several years ago I read an X Men comic where Magneto actually pulled the adamantium out of Wolverine's skeleton. That shit was off the hook!

Tony Montana or the Joker:thumbsup

Apocalypse

By far the strongest villian.

Have to think on that one. Can we do more than one since your talking real life/fiction/comic books?

I always liked the Joker.

What a great guy.

Bizarro
Your a little fucked up in the head but you still have all the powers of superman

MaxHardcore

Doc Holiday

I want to be "The Punisher". He's not a villain but a vigilante!

The unabomber has always fascinated me. Here's this poor guy living in a cabin in the woods -- no plumbing, no electricity -- and yet he has the FBI in the palm of his hand, the public fears his next strike, the intellectuals respect his writings. Kind of cool if you ask me.

Al Capone.

Cat Woman.:Graucho

Pablo Escobar.

fuck, that's a good one.

damn took mine!

dre dogg infamous coke dealer:BangBang:

:thumbsup

Dr. Doom

Sure! Good point!

Niiiiice! I didn't get the Joker til I read " The Killing Joke ". That novel was sooooo fucking cool. To see how the Joker actually became the Joker and not like the movie had it. It was freaking awesome. I'm going to go get another copy of it today and read it.

If you're an overachiever who doesn't mind being at the top of the most popular "bad guy" list, then there's really only one choice... Hitler.

Pros: He's probably the most infamous historical villain (at least in America), he had an entire nation almost hypnotically under his thumb, and he's undoubtedly still idolized today by some.

Cons: Well, these should be obvious and apparent. Don't think I should have to mention them. :winkwink:

Yo, they had a 4 part Punisher mini-series back in the 80s by Mike Zeck that ROCKED ASS!

It picked up the story after the dumb ass judge threw the Punisher IN Riker's Island. The Punisher told the judge: " Good cause there's lots of criminals in there. " or something like that.


BIG MISTAKE. The Punisher jumped up outta a cot and started kickin' most high ass throughout the book. No superpowers, no weapons, just FRANK CASTLE, the baddest mother fucker in the coolest costume. ( In the story he didn't even HAVE his costume just a pair of pants! )

Okay, I can see where the admiration might be warranted but Hitler, Stalin, none of them NONE of them had jack squat on:

GHENGIS KHAN.

Nobody in HISTORY ever conquered as much land and people for so long than Ghengis Khan and his offspring. There's no telling how many millions they killed BY HAND not bombs, starvation etc. but by good ol' fashioned slicin' and dicin'.

Compared to Ghengis, Hitler and the rest are just flashes in the pan.

As a personal choice, however, I think I'd pick a more fictitous character. Was Galactus considered a bad guy in the comic books?

AAAAAHHHH!! Don't start shit by sayin' 'Dr. Doom'!!! I could go on all day about 'Dr. Doom'!!!

Don't get me started!!! Watch out!!!

Welllll, Galactus was more like a 'conscious force of nature' than a villain. But he was one COOL ASS scary looking mo'fo'. The old way Jack Kirby would draw him was scary enough!

Al Capone or 'snorky' as they used to call him ( only his closest friends ) is one amazing life story read.

That dude made an ASSLOAD of money when everyone else was broker than dog chawed shit.

It's an amazing story criss crossed with the most popular people of that day.

If you get a chance read his biography and I had some book links. Lemme find em'.

Kaiser Soze
or Castor Troy

I agree. But popularity-wise, Hitler is far better known (in American history at least).

PS: I certainly don't admire the guy. Any indication of brilliance he had is underminded by own twisted visions in my opinion.

Western fan!!! My three favorites ( 1 an ancestor but I won't mention here ) were John Wesley Hardin and Cherokee Bill.

When you read their biographies it will STUN you how similar their plights growing up are mirrored today. It's amazing with all this technology and kids then facing the same shit they face today.

Freaking amazing reads.

That flick was some cool shit! Shows exactly how a sharp criminal mind can work.

Do you like Jack Kirby's style? I always thought it was too harsh... "rigid" for lack of a better word. I guess that could be appealing to some.

I LOVE Dave McKean's work, and George Perez was great with details..

:thumbsup

I would be Dracula. I know the live forever thing got tired after a while, but he got all the hot chicks:Graucho

WHAT??? Dissin' Jack Kirby???

Jack cut the mold for modern day comics. He redefined all the genres from superheroes to romance to war stories.

He had great storytelling and power and design and could go from subtle to super in the same panel.

I don't know what Kirby comics you read but go back and get some of them old Captain America comics where he fought the Red Skull.

Cap would roll into a room and bust up all kinds of shit so bad that you would be ducking and dodging while reading the comic book so's that piece of debris wouldn't hit you.

George Perez is awesome. No doubt. But when Kirby designed a villain YOU KNEW it was a villain.

RED SKULL RANT!!!

Okay my fav villain is THE RED SKULL. There's NO FUCKING DOUBT at once glance he's EVIL. He's got a big red skull mask on and a swastika plastered all over his chest. His story was he was a nobody thief that Hitler stumbled upon as a busboy and in a dare/bet he told his commanders that he 'Hitler' could train anyone to be a super soldier 'even that menial bus boy over there'. Hitler did, trained the dude day and fucking night til he became the most lethal combat specialist in the world. Then he turned on Hitler. If you read the original story you can see the hatred in the Red Skull's eyes and his motivation. A real sinister piece of shit who didn't care.

Hey, the only woman mentioned was 'Catwoman'??? C'mon there's gotta be some more femme fatales out there.

How about Joan Collins' 'Alexis' from 'Dynasty'?

:thumbsup

All this is very nice, but it won't change the fact I just didn't like the way he drew characters. Sorry.

:(
