Supervillain Draft Thread - Team write-ups and post draft rankings
- Thread starter Löwenherz
- Start date
ARRGHGHGH!H!HH! NoBonus my island is beefin' with your island.
You didn't just draft Green Goblin, you got 2 for 1 because you drafted his new persona as well:
You drafted the Iron Patriot. After Captain America was killed off and after Tony Stark was seen as a villain after that super-hero registration act along with failing to prevent an invasion, Osburn created a new persona that the US could stand behind.
He combined the image Captain America as well as Iron Man (since he now has access to Stark labs, since Stark is on the run) and created a group of phony Avengers.
My pick is coming up next.

Weird, it's my pick again and I'm about to pick some evilness I intended to select rounds ago but pushed back because I needed to shore up some other needs first. Now, I'm picking this evilness only because I can't decide where I want to go right now. Amazing how things play out...
Anywhoooz...MBF selects
IT/Pennywise - IT
With this pick I have either violated something I tacitly agreed to but never pinky sweared to, I think there is a technical loophole to exploit..
or just set myself up to get the crap scared out of me again. Not sure. But oh well...I was going here 3 picks ago before I got distracted. I completely and wholeheartedly admit to coulrophobia - a phobia I have repeatedly argued is completely rational and with valid cause. Meet exhibit A...Pennywise. The dudes who shove themselves into cars and make balloon animals are just working up to the vileness of Pennywise, I had them figured out years ago.
But IT (as it manifests itself in clown-form or just for kicks spiders, which freak me out just a tad less than clowns do...eh, yay) is just pure evilness and by pure evilness I mean evilness in its very essence. The clown and spider thing are just physical manifestations so we can fully appreciate its scary nastiness before it scares you to death or drives you insane, your choice really. May want to put some shades on for the deadlights... :shudder: This is Team MBF's shock and awe component...if um, you survive that then you get the rest of the baddies...again, your choice...

Checked the boards on a lark, but am literally on my way out the door to class. My next pick will be up within 2 1/2 hours or so.
Incidentally, if someone could throw some spoiler tags around the image in MBF's post, I would greatly appreciate it. My clown thing is no joke and even scrolling past the picture as quickly as I could has caused my heart to start beating through my chest.

Though my Tarantino thunder has been stolen, figure it's time to go ahead and draft the guy that was on my list at the start of this thing only to be briefly (and perhaps unwisely) jettisoned in favor of Mr. Blonde.
Marsellus Wallace - Pulp Fiction (1994) -- Depending on how closely you follow the internet buzz (going on 15 years of fervent speculation now) and how seriously you take any of it, Marsellus Wallace is either a badass LA gangster of some sort or, if not Satan himself (jury is still out), at least on business terms with him. You see, the most popular fanboy theory regarding the briefcase MacGuffin is that the mysterious orange glow is actually produced by Wallace's soul, freshly retrieved from the Devil.
Don't know that I give that theory much weight. Don't know how, if at all, that would impact his supernatural abilities. I do know, however, that any teams of heroes or villains will have to contend with Mr. Wallace and his fondness for grabbing a couple of hard, pipe hittin'... erm... fellows, and getting medieval on their collective asses.

Sigh. It has become quite obvious that most of you just don't have my experience at being evil. Trying to pile on superpower after superpower -- being evil is about more than that. You have to stop and smell the roses you just conquered. First you get your concubine (who is also a cold hearted (in fact no hearted) badass assasin, and then next you need to get your loyal toady/minion to stroke your ego, bring you margaritas in bed, and inform on everyone. Rookies! Jeesh:
Mini-Me
Specializing in ankle biting and dry humping of legs, my evil minion is not only dangerous, but serves as court jester as well. MUHAHAHA!

Onslaught is a psionic entity created from the consciousness of the mutants, Professor Charles Xavier and Magneto.
Though he was once part of those characters he manifested as a separate independent entity.
Powers
Onslaught possessed the combined abilities of Professor X, Magneto, Franklin Richards, and X-Man, including telepathy, telekinesis, astral projection, illusion creation, mental bolt projection, sensing mutant presences, manipulating magnetic fields, and affecting reality itself. Onslaught could also enhance its physical size and strength.
Favorite Moment
Punching the Juggernaut from the west coast to New Jersey.
Mostly Known for
Killing key Marvel characters like the Fantastic 4, Thor and Doctor Doom causing Marvel writers to create another loophole to reboot their comics.
Being the boss in the Marvel VS Campom arcade game.

Yes, he is one of those type of characters
Still have that issue in the closet along with the rest of my childhood.
I have loved following this draft since I realized it was more than a Comicbook only Villain thread.
With about a round and a half left, I am hoping one character gets chosen from my evil movie of choice.
Make it happen Evil Masterminds.
There are 4 very evil people standing on the sidelines waiting to go to your team.

With their 5th pick, kingsnation selects...
Sweeney Todd
If you're going to get a new look, avoid his place. Crazy? Sure. Odd? You bet. But every supervillain team needs at least one as unique as him, and this is ours. BTW, he is a great business man.

Todd is an English barber who murders his customers with a cut-throat razor and, with the help of his accomplice, Mrs. Lovett, turns their remains into meat pies.

With their 6th and final pick, kingsnation selects..
Baron Strucker
We round out our team with someone, who if by chance does get killed, will release a virus that will take the rest of the world with him.
Baron Strucker is a highly intelligent man in peak human physical condition. He is an exceptional hand-to-hand combatant, swordsman, and marksman. He is also a consummate military strategist and spy, and a master of disguise and excellent actor. He carries a sword and traditional firearms, but also wears the S. Claw on his right hand: this metal gauntlet amplifies its strength and emits powerful electrical shocks. Strucker also uses serums developed by HYDRA, enabling him to maintain his physical vigor at its height and retard his aging process, so that physically he remains the same, despite his advanced chronological age.
Exposure to his Death Spore has bonded Strucker's DNA with the Death Spore, enabling him to be revived after seemingly being killed by gunshot wounds and radiation poisoning. Stucker can now release the Death Spore virus from his body at will, killing his victims nearly instantly. If Strucker is killed, the Death Spore viruses will allegedly be set free from his body and risk infecting the entire Earth.

My final pick I chose:
Alien Queen - Aliens
The Alien Queen does not need drones to reproduce. Her nest are full of eggs which hatch these:
After implanted by the face-hugger and incubated in the host the creature will burst from the host's chest. That alien then has the characteristics of the host. As seen with the Predator Alien in the latest movie.
To keep with the theme, the Marvel comics have zombies but the DC universe doesn't get off easy:
Now imagine what would burst out of a chest of a super-hero?
My cousin (the trouble make one that terrorized ducks when we were little) had all sorts of Alien action figures that were bursted from gorillas, snakes and bats. She also had the comic where an egg was laid in Superman but didn't have the next issue to find out.

Was wondering if anybody would take her.
Ok...enough procrastinating. I had a couple of silly power options here, but there was just no style there, so this is better I think:
Pumpkinhead
I do like my demons (ironic given that its no secret I consider all religion hokum), and this one is nice and evil even by demon standards. Vengeance personified, its big, strong, devious, and cruel, and likes to make its victims suffer. But my favorite part about this demon and why I decided to take it is the wonderful quandry which it would pose for the goody two shoers. You see, the only way to stop Pumpkinhead is to kill the person who summoned it. Not put them in jail, or in stasis, or freeze them with your freeze ray, or send them to another universe...KILL them. Otherwise it just keeps coming no matter what you hit it with. So I think we'll be capturing a nice sweet young virgin to do our Pumpkinhead summoning for us, and then you can send me an uber-principled wuss like Superman or whoever with all his "morals" and let's see if he's got the stones to do what it takes to stop my demon. And if he does start down that dark path....MUHAHAHAHAHAHA! (as an aside, even if somebody does stop it, you can never truly destroy it, and it can just be summoned again)
Pumpkinhead sneers at the "heroes":
