Kingpin, Spiderman
This isn't the most attractive pose, but then again he's not the most attractive man. I picked Kingpin from the Spiderman series because to me he's most authentically Super Villainesque. His obvious humanity makes him more intimidating in both appearance and personality. That's not to say I wouldn't consider highlighting another Spiderman villian, I'm just saying I think Kingpin is the best. It's easy to fear the unfamiliar, like a man with eight servo-driven octopus arms. But for a man with no acoutriments to strike fear into the hearts of the populace takes much more work. Wanna know the story on this guy? Read on, my friends, Thanos6 has provided another fan-diddly-abulous bio!

Wilson Fisk has been a criminal for a long, long time. Due to his large size, he was always picked on. Hence, he developed superb hand-to-hand fighting skills, which allowed him to defend himself and to defeat almost any opponent. That is not fat; it is all muscle. He committed his first murder at a very young age, I believe it was either 12 or 14. After the murder--for which he was never suspected--he began to build a criminal empire. Starting off by leading a small street gang, Fisk used his criminal brilliance to eventually become the Kingpin of Crime. While there has always been competition, for all intents and purposes his syndicate has been the only important one throughout the entire East Coast, and he possesses influence all over the world. To date he has never been arrested for any of his many crimes. This is partly due to his manipulative genius, and partly because he never commits crimes personally anymore. Instead, he has on retainer a huge number of supervillains to do his work for him, such as Bullseye, Typhoid Mary, and the Enforcers (Ox, Fancy Dan, Montana, Snake, and Hammer), not to mention practically every criminal in the New York area. While he has fought Spider-Man, the Punisher and even Captain America, his number one foe has been Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, "the Man Without Fear."

Thanks again, Thanos6!

Krang, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Okay, okay, okay, I know I broke the "one villain per series" rule with the Tick and Freakazoid, and now I'm doing it again by including both Shredder and Krang. But come on! While Shredder was a better long-term Super Villain, indeed the true Super Villain of the series, Krang was a disembodied BRAIN, for crying out loud!!! For those of you that don't remember, he rode around in the stomach of that Zippy-The-Pinhead lookin' guy except for those few occasions where he wanted to pilot a machine himself. Since I don't know much about where ol' buddy Krang comes from, here's Thanos6 again with one of his character bios. enjoy!

Here's the origin of Krang from "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." He was originally from Dimension X, but since he wanted to rule the universe, he was banished to the 'main' dimension, losing his body in transit. Hence the fact that he was just a brain. He somehow (not sure how exactly) managed to find Shredder. They struck a deal. Shredder would provide Krang with a new body (the giant robot) and in return Krang would furnish Shredder with all kinds of weapons, soldiers, and gizmos he'd need to take over the world.

Perfect! I feel a little more complete every time someone helps me round out a bio. Thanks again Thanos6!
 

Lex Luthor, Superman
Lex Luthor is almost better than the Joker. I said almost. I mean how evil do you have to be to have all of the other super-evil people following your commands? The Legion of Doom is a goldmine of super villains, but I had to go with the top dog to do them any justice (ahem, forgive the pun). Here's a bio by guest biographer Shirley "Kerphrog."

Lex Luthor was introduced in April 1940. His one goal is to rule the Earth,which Superman won't let him do. Therefore, his second biggest goal is to get rid of Superman--which he also can't do. Luthor started small with death rays and then he progressed to earthquakes, starting wars, evaporating the world's water, blocking out the rays of the sun, and other fun things like that... Superman thwarts his every effort one way or another. And Luthor always manages to escape from wherever he's imprisoned, filled with new ideas to defeat Superman! He never does, but he never gives up trying either and that's why he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame!!

Thanks again, Shirley!

Colonel MacDougal, Spriggan
This is the film to see, in my humble opinion. It came out in 1999, made by the folks that produced Akira. Good stuff. MacDougal was created by the Pentagon to be used as a human weapon. To call him a Cyborg would be understating the matter, although Cyborg is not actually the best word to describe him. He is an enhanced human being with super intelligence, super telekinesis powers, and cerebral processing abilities faster than the fastest supercomputer, all packaged in a small boy who is expected to die before he sees puberty. When an ancient artifact of unknown power is discovered and dubbed "Noah's Ark," the US Pentagon sends in Colonel MacDougal to seize control of the dig site and the artifact itself in the name of American Democracy. MacDougal has other plans. The pentagon loses control over him, and the monster they created develops a thirst for God-like stature. He threatens to unleash the power of Noah's Ark on the unsuspecting earth. As if powerful and evil children aren't chilling enough....

"Boku wa kami da!!!" --Colonel MacDougal

Magneto, X-Men
I'll admit to you that I completely missed the boat on the X-Men. Sorry, there's only so much TV I can fit into my busy schedule so I've never seen even one eency weency bit of this show. Fortunately for us neener-heads Thanos6 has provided yet another spectacular bio.

Erik Magnus Lehnserr was either a Gypsy or a Jew (Marvel [Comics] can't seem to decide) who lived through World War II. He and his young daughter (mother unknown) were taken to a concentration camp, where he befriended and then fell in love with a woman named Magdalene. When guards killed his daughter, Erik's latent mutant powers manifested for a brief moment in his rage, allowing him to slay the guards and open an escape route out of the camp. Magdalene, who had witnessed this, was terrified of his powers and fled from him. (Neither Erik nor Magda were aware that she was pregnant with Erik's children. They would become Pietro and Wanda Maximoff, aka the superheroes Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch.) Erik, heartbroken, stayed in the camp where he managed to survive until he was liberated by the Allied army. After the war, he worked at a hospital where he met someone who would be both his best friend and worst enemy, Charles Xavier (the world's most powerful telepath). One day, they stumbled across an operation to smuggle gold, led by ex-Nazi leader Baron Strucker, archnemesis of Sgt. Nick Fury. Strucker ordered their deaths, but they managed to survive through use of their mutant powers. Time passed. Both Xavier and Erik did research into the way mutants were feared and repressed the world over. Xavier decided that regular humans and mutants could co-exist peacefully if humans were educated; think of him as the Martin Luther King, Jr. of mutants. Erik, however, came to the conclusion that mutants were a superior race and should rule mankind. As Magneto, he began a campaign towards this goal, oblivious to the fact that he had become no better than his Nazi oppressors.

Thanks again, Thanos6!

Mandark, Dexter's Laboratory
Mandark is Dexter's rival at school and greatest competitor for world's biggest genious. Watch Ego Trip sometime for the best example of Mandark's dark side. He is Dexter's polar opposite, and amusingly enough he also has an evil sister who is Dee Dee's polar opposite (see the ballet competition episode). At first I had a hard time deciding between Mandark and Dexter himself. Just because Dexter is the protagonist doesn't mean he's a good guy (re: Pinky and the Brain). And then to mix it up, I had a friend suggesting that Dee Dee was the true villain of this show. However, I finally decided that Mandark has edged his way into the lead for evil tendencies. But just barely. I'm keeping a close eye on those other two... Fun fact: The guy who plays Mandark's voice on this show is the guy who played the nerd in the movie Grease (Olivia Newton John version). Kind of strange when you think about it, right? And for those of you who can't get enough of Dexter on the web, here's another link for ya. Don't ever say I never gave ya nuthin'.

Master Blaster, Kidd Video
I'm dancing around in my chair right now, I can't believe I found a website for this cartoon! You may be too young to remember this short-lived little show, but Kidd Video was a saturday morning flick in the early- to mid-80's that capitalized on the new MTV phenomena. Okay, so there's this band called Kidd Video, and get this, the lead singer is named Kidd too. He was supposed to be the heartthrob. Anyway, the Master Blaster was some kind of villain in this other dimention called the Flipside where everything was weird and fit well into the lyrics of most popular songs at the time. Master Blaster kidnapped the band so he could... I don't know, commandeer their sound or something. He was like some kind of twisted record company executive (not that that's a stretch from reality...), but really, his motives were about as fickle and amorphous as Gargamel's were for the Smurfs. Check out the website linked to the photo above if you really want the low-down. You can watch my favorite episode about The Pink Sphinx in its entirety, too!

Feathers McGraw, Wallace And Gromit: The Wrong Trousers
Thanks to Loneheart of Dangermouse and Count Duckula guest bio fame, I am now aware of the fact that this character has a name, glimpsed only once in a newspaper headline and once in the credits. He was also kind enough not to point out that I've been spelling Gromit's name wrong all along. Nice fella, that Loneheart. Anyway, this is the ultimate best-ever claymation feature film. Wallace and Gromit's adventures were always lighthearted fun but when they encountered a penguin who wished to rent a room, their lives became significantly more complex. Not to ruin anything for those who haven't seen the film, but this penguin is actually a master thief who straps a red rubber glove to his head to disguise himself as a chicken. He stays up all night listening to organ muzak ice rink songs, whilst planning the biggest heist of his career, which he then implements with deft abilities that would make Batman's Penguin envious. Come on, who doesn't love a bad penguin??? Fowl play, anyone? Oooooh, sorry about that one.

Megabyte, Reboot
Megabyte lives to destroy Mainframe, the digital world in which this cartoon is set. He controls viruses and corruption which he unleashes in an effort to plunge the world into chaos and destruction. If his smile doesn't do it for you, his demeanor should. Megabyte is the perpetual thorn in Bob's side in this seires. He never loses his cool, never backs down from his goals, always stays focused on ultimate entropy. This type of focus is essential for a villain of notable proportion. He's ruthless and sinister in a classic demonic sort of way. the 3D imagery really suits him and adds life to his mannerisms and makes him a formidable foe. In spite of the overly-fluid and unnaturally-staged form of animation, his Sheer Kahn-esque personality invades the screen, much to the viewer's delight.

Megatron, Transformers
Megatron was the leader of the Decepticons, the evil half of the sentient machine race that were the Transformers. I remember much of the dispute between Autobots and Decepticons revolving around possession and use of energy cubes. Oh, and thanks to Mashuga for this new pic! He wanted me to add this little commentary to Megatron's description. Enjoy!!

"After Megatron was changed into Galvatron in the later episodes of Transformers, Galvatron went crazy. He was so crazy that in most episodes all he did was yell everyone the whole time. And his diabolical schemes were so far fetched that even his cohorts questioned his intentions. His insanity was discussed in some episodes. I believe even in one episode the Decepticons went to Rodimus Prime for help. He definately needed therapy and psychotropic drugs."

Thanks Mashuga!

And just to make a definitive statement, NO I will not even touch Go-Bots characters. Transformers were first and best, and even as a girl who loved Barbie and Jem, I still collected Transformers. Optimus Prime was cool because he was so upstanding, but Megatron is cooler because who isn't afraid of evil machines taking over?? Call me technophobic but doesn't this fellow look like the embodiment of the Y2K bug everyone was spazzing out about? He's like the Lawnmower Man, only more like a Buick

Montana Max, Tiny Toons Adventures
Montana Max is the Tiny Toon tribute to Yosemite Sam (also featured in the Hall of Fame). In this show, Montana is an extremely rich brat who has everything and still wamts more. Most of his schemes revolve around either buying up or destroying Acme Acres and the people who live within its borders. My favorite Montana Max tidbit? The fact that his doorbell is a chiming voice that says ever-so-gently, "Monnnnn-sey!" I love that!

Mumm-Ra, Thundercats
Mumra was an ancient inhabitant of the planet which the Thundercats landed on after Thundara exploded. He was the evil counterpart to the goddess who lived in the white pyramid on the other side of the planet. Basically he was like a local devil. This dude scared the bejeepers out of me when i was younger. He had that empty-eye, loose-wrapping, slavering, clawed lurch that can put a shiver right up your spine. Also I have mummy-phobia. Anyway, I don't think he really had an agenda on this planet before the Thundercats arrived, since he did nothing but bug them once they settled. Was he just terrorizing the local populace (what were those robotic bear things anyway??) or busy raising his henchmen from wee pups? Who knows.

Oh, and for those of you with the curiosity of cats (get it? heh...) check this link out to hear the infamous Thundercat Outtakes.

Murky and Lurky, Rainbow Bright
This website I've linked to is the best Rainbow Bright page I've found in my many months of searching. Adding Murky and Lurky fulfills a long-past request from i-don't-remember-who. I'm gonna quote directly here since my Rainbow Bright knowledge has faded over these many years. Remember, this info came from the site the pic is linked to, not from my own brain.

Murky and Lurky are the main evil-doers in Rainbowland. They live in a dark land called the Pits, and are complete opposites. While Murky lives to rid the world of "hateful" color, Lurky loves his "pretty colors". Murky is always thinking up some plan to get rid of colors, but the plan is always messed up in the end.

Please do this lovely lady a favor and click the pic, she's put a lot of effort into compiling information on a hard to find topic! Thanks!

Myotismon, Digimon series
Myotismon is just one of a chain of villains in the Digital World who want to take over and destroy everything they see. Myotismon knows ahead of time what his downfall will be: the Digi-destined. After all, he is made up from all of the dead villains that have been snuffed out by the Digi-destined since their arrival in the Digital World. He plots to kill the Eighth Digi-destined child before she can discover her fate, thus preventing his own destruction. Ever since Fox Kids re-ran the Eighth Child Saga I decided Myotismon was a great Super Villain, if only for henchmen merits alone. And come on! He's a vampire!!! If that isn't scary in and of itself the I don't know what is. In spite of the vampire being one of the most famous nightmareish symbols in our society, he's the first to attain Super Villain status. Good for you, Myotismon. Way to reach for the stars. For those who say the Digimon Emperor should be the Digimon Super Villain of Choice, I say bollocks to you! Ken is no villain, he's just a snotty little kid! Besides, anything past the original Digidestined sucks. So there. thpthpthpthpthpthp!
