Are there comic villains so irredeemable that they couldn't be made into heroes?
You know, besides this fucker.
Marvel is going to consider that a challenge
post Identity Crisis Dr. Light
>>The Swatiska on his forehead.
That... Actually looks kinda nice. For an awful Nazi monster design that is.
As for the OP:
The Joker.
Carnage.
Zzazz.
Anyone in the Spawn mythos.
Best Korea.
Mephisto.
Satan.
Black Manta
>>88248911
>Carnage
Do you not know of Carnage Man?
>>88248942
Magic morality inversions don't count. We're talking slow-path redemption.
Brainiac, not considering his awful n52 origin.
>>88248911
Carnage was briefly a hero, albeit after a total personality reversal
Mephisto is secretly a good guy. He reincarnated Wanda and Vision's kids for free and helped Peter out that one time. Seriously, when has he ever done anything wrong to anyone that didn't deserve it?
DC's Satan has his own TV show where he's a hero right now.
>>88248911
>The Joker
The Jester is a thing, though you could probably do a good Joker story about him trying to clean up Gotham because he thought it'd be funny for Batman to investigate what seems like it might just be a giant scheme but is really just a "I wanted to see the look on your face" thing.
>Carnage
Hasn't Carnage gone sane before?
>Zzazz
A good writer could pull a Dexter Morgan/American History X thing with Vic. Have him get out of Arkham, skip town, and go out on a search for clarity. Kill some killers on the road, try to atone, try to make his scars countand when he inevitably realizes he will never be seen as anything other than a monster, he can content himself on the scars he's stolen from the killers he's killed.
>Anyone in the Spawn Mythos
Valid.
>North Korea
Too broad, the State itself could be turned hero in the event of any number of threats a Comic could throw at it. Depends on too many factors, but I get what you mean.
>Mephisto
He's literally an embodiment of evil, so valid.
>Satan
Could be painted sympathetic, potentially even made heroic especially if you take a gnostic twist on things.
>>88248550
Red Skull is more sympathetic than the heroes these days.
>>88251318
You forgot to post that out-of-context speech without the next page that shows his followers blowing themselves up.
>>88248550
>Nazis are portrayed as bad guys
>Marxists are shown as pretty okay guys
What did Marvel mean by this?
They're fictional characters, they're not beyond redemption since they can just be written however they want. Even Red Skull.
>>88251645
I prefer the one where he's telling Cap the truth about modern America.
huh?
>>88249121
>Mephisto
>He's literally an embodiment of evil, so valid.
Did people like that story where he went on a date with Magma, or did it make them REEEEE by suggesting that he isn't totally abominable.
really makes you think
>>88251986
To be fair wasn't he completely abominable it's just he's willing to do "good" because it helps his evil gains.
If all the African babies die of Aids they can't do evil acts and end up in hell.
>>88252026
You'd really think Red Skull would have more perspective than to preach this shit at a guy who lived through a point in time where a good portion of America was starving to death and crime was at its nation's peak except maybe during the 90s.
>>88252026
>really makes you think
No it doesn't. Also this implies Red Skull is pro gun-control because of the bumper sticker in the last panel.
>>88252118
>To be fair wasn't he completely abominable it's just he's willing to do "good" because it helps his evil gains.
>If all the African babies die of Aids they can't do evil acts and end up in hell.
I meant more his speech about how he sometimes wants to live normally, or how he seemed to be genuinely in love with Magma.
>>88252206
Red Skull probably would be pro Gun Control if HE'S running the world.
>>88251817
This is awesome
The Black Flame from BPRD
>>88248550
Considering Marvel turned one of the most pure heroes evil just because, means they'd be capable of turning a nazi war criminal into a hero.
>>88252532
>turned one of the most pure heroes evil just because
I legit don't know who you're talking about.
>>88252745
I think he's talking about Captain HYDRA.
>>88251885
I forget, is inverted Red Skull a good Red Skull, or Xavier?
No
Carnage is literally just a serial killer with powers, Sabertooth is similarly foul, will murder anybody for fun even little children and eat them to boot
Yet Marvel has still had these guys be good, all it takes is a science or magic switcharoo of personality and all can be forgiven
What if Red Skull pulled off his mask and revealed he was black?
>>88252026
Literally. A. Fucking. Nazi.
\pol\ is that way.
>>88252961
If this guy is now a hero, regardless of how he came to be one, anybody can be through comic wackiness
What sucks about things like this is it totally cheapens the very concept of being good or bad but hey, that's modern Marvel for ya
>>88252745
Axis.
Superior Spider-man.
Take your pick. This year was "Everyone is Villains.

Why are they bees?
>>88253000
He woke af, nigga.
Also, you type like such a faggot. Stop taking everything so seriously, you little nonce.
>>88253419
I love how that ended up playing out. Does anyone other than Arnim Zola and Sin put up with him?
>>88253520
Crossbones, of course.
I think Osborn once expressed admiration for him. Carnage also said he was cool in AXIS, he just didn't want to serve under him if he ever took over the world (fascism not being all that compatible with chaos and all that).
>>88248550
>Red Skull
>Not a hero

Priest's BP when he helped that one nutjob increment the political unrest in Wakanda because he was hungry for souls.

>>88248939
As long as Aquaman isn't involved he doesn't seem too sociopathic.
...unless I missed something, which is very likely.

Isn't the swastika carved into the Skull's forehead redundant? Unless he was captured by Lt. Aldo Raine.

Remender's Uncanny Avengers

Why even respond to them then?

Batman: Earth One
>>88248911
>North Korea
The year is 2042.
Kim Jong-ha has been named Glorious Leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, after the unfortunate and sudden passing of Kim Jung-un. And has taken over all the roles of his father, grandfather, and Eternal Leader Kim Il-sung held as well.
The following day, KJh announces to the world that he will begin unification talks with the Republic of Korea, or barring that solution, an official Peace Treaty between and recognition of both sovereign nations right to coexist.
At the following UN meeting, he announced that the DPRK will provide up to 100,000 soldiers for the Peacekeeping projects; and that family reunions split between the Korea's will not be hindered under his rule.
(add more to this, the DPRK becomes the good guy of the future)
What about Glorious People's Republic of North Korea?
>>88252026
Is Remender a "redpilled" lib?

could the top right be an indirect tribute to Night Lords from 40K?

yeah sure mags, revert to violence as it's the only way you could feel superior

>Red Skull has secretly been an undercover SHIELD agent since WWII
>Comes out as 'Red White and Blue Skull' to wage war against Captain Hydra
>>88251878
But anyone posting it still doesn't understand that Cap fights for ideals and the right to be uplifted, never for any specific group or the nation itself. So it's still a shitty autistic page to post OOC
>>88260372
Considering the Dark Judges predate 40k by an entire 6 years 40kfags should learn to use google or kill themselves
>>88260444
>being this butthurt
kill yourself faggot, he simply asked a question
Even when he's magically good he's still bad.
>>88260468
>he
Okay, chief, sure. "he" definitely did just ask a question, that deserved ire for being asked. Just like "he" answered it.
>>88252206
Hitler himself was pro gun-control so it makes sense that Red Skull would be too.
>>88252206
Fascists are very pro gun control. Pretty hard to lose the grip of an authoritarian state when the populace is unarmed. How fucking stupid are some people?
>>88249121
Isn't Satan's son neutral evil?
>>88251986
Apparently it made them REEEEE, but I personally liked it. The reasoning he gave was sound to me.
Plus it reflected something from 'Defenders' in the Seventies, with Satan basically telling Daimon Hellstrom that, deep inside him, there is a piece of God.
>>88260627
Nobody seems to know for sure. He's usually 95% douchebag.
I feel like an oldfag, but comics were better in the seventies. That's fucking pathetic.
>>88249121
>The Joker
I can recall two times the Joker acted as a hero. The first was in Morrison's run and the second was from the Batman TV show.
