Been having so much fun with dlw's thread that I decided to go the other way.
What group of villains would you like to see banded together to fight the Avengers as Masters of Evil, Lethal Legion, etc...
We'll play by the same rules, bring in an X-Villain, an FF foe, a Defenders defiler, an independent villain the Avengers haven't fought before and a couple of previous Avengers foes or even single Avengers foes, i.e. an Iron Man villain or what have you.
Try to adhere to the same timeframe as the other post- 1970s- 80s
Of course if you want to go off on your own tangent, add a few wrinkles I may not have covered then by all means, go ahead!

Ok, I'll get the ball rolling. One villain I always wanted to see more of was the Orb, so let's let him decide to get his hooks in. An FF villain I wanted to see fight the Assemblers is Darkoth the death demon (look him up, kiddies  ) . He also fought Thor once, so he's got reason... We need an acrobatic and or martial arts type to counter the various fighters on the team so let's go with Steel Serpent and the Tarantula. As for a Defenders villain how about the original Korvac? The half man half machine dude who wasn't omnipotent? He's got a grudge to hold. After all the assemblers defeat him in the past and prevent him from using ultimate power to recreate the universe. That's gotta sting... A powerhouse villain who can hold off Thor or Hercules might be Baron Mordo. Let's throw in the original Firebrand because his costume was so darn cool. That's seven, but I also need a villainess (plus it never made sense that the villains always even up. Guys tend to want to have numbers on their side...) so let's add in Black Mamba from the Serpents. I almost threw Ruby Thursday on the team but thought she and the Orb would look odd together So there's my Lethal Legion-- Orb, Darkoth, Steel Serpent, Tarantula, Korvac, Baron Mordo, Firebrand and Black Mamba tho I freely admit I have no idea how this group got together!! |

Well this is a much harder task for me than the hero one! it's always hard to figure out what would motivate a group of bad guys to work together, other than money or a shared hatred. But I'll give it a go, and try to keep a 70s theme.
Xemnu the titan (Defenders): Just because he looks cool, and in his first pre-FF appearance, he was called the Hulk!
Nightshade (Captain America): The quintessential 70s super-villainess, complete with afro-puffs!
the Overmind (Fantastic Four): A freaky-looking dude, with very 70s sideburns.
Sauron (X-Men): OK, he arrived prior to 1970, but every team needs a flying reptile man.
Mercurio the 4d Man (Thor): fire and ice, all in one.
Chemistro (Luke Cage): it wouldn't be the 70s without Luke Cage...and Chemistro's look is similar to Mercurio's!
Basilisk (independent): just for giggles.

Oh man Tana, I swear I was thinking of Basilisk and he just slipped out of my head! Mercurio is a goodie as are Chemistro and Nightshade. I think I like your team better than mine!! ;D |

These creative rosters are fun: a nice way to get some activity on the boards. I've always preferred the street-level villains, so here goes- Klaw (FF)- I've always liked the look, cool powers, and he's never met his full potential as a character, IMO. Avalanche (X-foe)- Same description as Klaw, for me. Mad-Dog (Defenders)- Could be interesting, if written better. He'd be the leader. Grey Gargoyle - one of my favorites Absorbing Man - another favorite Mysterio - another favorite, who I don't recall ever facing the Avengers (  ) I'd love to see these guys fight the Assemblers. |
