Inspired by Marvel hyping up Wolverine's "new arch-nemesis" Solem.
>Look at this new bad guy, he's so cool. He's so badass that not only can he beat up Superman, which clearly no villain has ever done before, but he's also responsible for destroying Krypton, a totally original idea!
Everything Dan Jurgen did.
Somethings Geoff John did.
Lord Beyond the Void from the recent Hawkman run. Hyped up throughout this entire run as this mysterious powerful entity that was the God of Hawkman's first life who has the power to destroy worlds. Despite the massive amount of power he's been shown to have throughout Vendetti's run, he gets offed within 2 issues like a complete scrub.
>villain that absorb gets killed by absorbing too much
Romulus
Every Marvel event villain that was made for the event
he's not a bad concept honestly
>I am an immortal mutant from caveman times, even older than Apocalypse even though he's supposed to be the first mutant!
>I am the Romulus that founded Ancient Rome with my sibling Remus, who is also an immortal mutant!
>I am the guy who was REALLY behind Weapon X!
>I am the one who turned Daken into a killing machine!
>By the way, I am descended from wolves, and so are Wolverine and Sabretooth!
I disagree.
this reads as how cartoons parody campy comic book writting
Just keep the immortal thing and him being THE Romulus. That part is neat.
These kinda feel like a "what if marvel tried to do that bs with batman and barbatos"
Apocalypse has been retconned out as the first mutant plenty of times before already. Him being immortal, Romulus, behind Daken are fine. The wolves to human side along evolution is an interesting concept. Weapon X is overdone though.
I thought Selene was the first mutant.
Romulus predates Barbatos
Helspont
Anyone remember the First Born from Azzarelo's Wonder Woman? Is he even canon anymore after all the retcons?
It didn't affect Apocalypse because they weren't meant to be mutants, the whole story was about Wolverine and other feral mutants learning they were actually part of Romulus' race of wolf people.
Remus told Logan that Romulus was lying, but nothing's really been retconned. Maybe Logan isn't one of them, but the Wakandans digging up fossils of Romulus' people isn't something you can dismiss that easily.
Harvest, Proto-Batkek.
So, first villain entrance and you stare him right in the balls.
This guy was beyond shit.
Well no shit. Also his design was idiotic.
Name a SINGLE good, memorable event villain besides the Anti-Monitor.
Harvest could've been DC Mr. Sinister, but writers made him into something convoluted.
Still think he has potential as a villain, though.
So he's just an unabashed Vandal Savage ripoff?
Who the fuck decided the New 52 Titans all had to GLOW
>hyped up at the end of G2 as being the next big bad and the opposite of the first Prime
>officially only the main villain of a kids book 20 years later
Azz WW is basically standalone desu. And should be read like that.
Ehrm... Well... Shit.
I fucking hate comics
anilhus
Remember When the mentally ill war vet got BTFOed by her own commander?
Mutants are older than that. Aaron's Cavengers have a mutant and a phoenix host in their team
Knull
wasn't created specifically for an event
Ultimate Mysterio
The Big Four of the Sinestro Corp
Cyborg Superman
Superboy Prime
Parallax'd Kyle
Sinestro
Thats the thing, to make a villian credible, they have to be able to beat the Hero. All the gold, silver, and bronze age villians got shoe horned in, because they are from a time when things were "wacky." A more modern villian has to get wins before they can be a credible threat, but modern publishers don't want their heroes to lose.
