Comic villains you love that no one else cares about

Having recently read Ghost Rider/Captain America: Fear I've gotta say Marvel's Scarecrow.

I'm still surprised by just how little attention Strange gets. Whether he's played as a Mad Scientist Moriarty or just an insane Batfag Psychologist, I've always had a soft spot for ol Hugo.

At least "Gotham" did him justice for the most part, even if he didn't get the opprotunity to remain a standalone Big Bad in his own right.

The Spot, where my fellow Spot fans at? I know I'm not alone. It's a shame he's constantly a joke when he actually has a pretty interesting power that could make him A+ grade material.

This isn't strictly true, because I know of one other hardcore weirdo like myself. But we're a very rare breed, and it's too bad because he's actually a really awesome and intimidating character.

I don't know, but he debuted 25 years before JoJo started. Admittedly the pose is unusual for him, so maybe that's what's doing it.

Most folks see a goofy-Kirby thing, and yeah, Marvel's treated him like that, but MODOK, with a good artist and writer, can be a legitimately frightening character. He's a huge brain stored inside a giant, life-like head. That shit's horror-movie worthy. Just drop the hover-chair and give him the creepy spider-legs.

Generally I think a lot of Iron Man/Captain America villains have tons of potential that is never utilized.

MODOK. He has an actual character and isn't an egg. I mean, with MODOK you can do a story without him being a joke if you rework him. But Egg Fu? Shit...

>>93416334
Nope, he is easily my favorite X-men villain & in my top 5 favorite Marvel villains period. So glad he is back.

>>93412964

No, he means the original Marvel Scarecrow, Ebenezer Laughton. He was a 1960s Iron Man villain who was a superhuman contortionist who controlled a flock of tame ravens to commit robberies. He floated around as a D-Lister villain for most of the 60s to 80s but in the 90s they picked him up for the new "Midnight Sons" horror titles and made him a villain of Ghost Rider and others, He was the lead villain in the quite good graphic novel Ghost Rider/Captain America: Fear, which is the one anon just read.

The Ghost is my favorite Iron Man villain, he is also one of the best Thunderbolts members. His powers makes him a terrible enemy to fight but more interesting his his mind and beliefs. Being a vigilant he targets corrupt corporations and politicans. He attacks the rotten underbelly of capitalism, that Stark represents.
In a way Ghost is a dark reflection of Tony. Both fight for what they beliefe to be good and are totally uninhibited in the manner how they act. The difference is that Starks work with the system while Ghost acts outside of it.

Hopeless at the very least wrote him OOC and began having him use Phil Urich's Hobgoblin weapons which suggests to me that the one at the end was a dupe.

It's just Bendis frightens me. Hopeless you can simply ignore, but Bendis? That kind of damage takes years of repair or sometimes that character just never recovers.

I just hope Bendis puts his stupid self-insert Hobgoblin from Secret War in the arc. Leave the magnificent bastard perfection of Roddy out of it.

Apparently reading OP is too hard for you faggots. This isn't 'Your favorite villain' thread, this is a thread about your favorite villains that don't get much appretiation in comic books/other media and/or just obscure characters. Villains that you actually like but you never saw anyone who cared or said/wrote about them something like 'Yeah, I like him/her, pretty cool guy/gal'.
I mean, seriously? Fucking Riddler, Batman's Scarecrow and Captain Cold? Who's next? Maybe Doctor Doom or Professor Zoom?

De komst van... KLEIGEZICHT III!

Classic.

>>93416393

They already did a really scary version of him.

>>93417422

Messing with what is real or not is a pretty scary power, too. Because how can you be sure you made it out of the illusion?

..Well, okay, he's only a stage artist. (I wonder how he did what he did in 'Old Man Logan').

>>93420381

The lack of respect MODOK gets is a constant gripe of mine.

But then he is never properly handled. He's just like any other stupid "brainy villlain" even though his brains are literally a thousand times as big as those of a normal human.

>>93420414

>>93421205

>>93421318

Fucking cool name, too.

>>93423023

He wasn't a villain, was he?

>>93424585

Chang Tzu. His name is Chang Tzu. I think he made that point quite emphatically.

>>93424868

Pfah. One-trick pony.

>>93425290

Was he based on Boss Tweed?

>>93425945

He had a son, didn't he?

Barely used... didn't the Hood kill him during a deal over a deactivated Deathlok that went south?

>>93417422
Mysterio teaching Loki how stage magic can best real magic in the Avengers Academy game is my favorite Mysterio moment.

>>93427411
Yeah, he kinda redeemed himself in the end, but originally he was a villain.

>>93427464
>He had a son, didn't he?
Yes, but he was only mentioned in conversation and then nothing. He may finally show up in season 3, but I actually doubt that. Writers probably already forgot about him.

>didn't the Hood kill him during a deal over a deactivated Deathlok that went south?
Nope, he's alive. His last appearance was somewhere in 'The Superior Foes Of Spider-Man'.

>>93423930
I always liked those conspiracies paranoid characters. He also got no eyes... A corpse moved by electrosignals.

>>93427340
Exactly. MODOK is fucking terrifying, but nobody does anything with them. Seriously, if Marvel rounded up all their failed scientist-villains and threw them in an Iron Man book with a capable writer and good art, it'd be golden. But nooooo. We gotta keep treating a guy who's literally a giant, exaggerated head with a giant brain as a joke. Visualize that, and tell me you wouldn't shit your pants if it was real.

>>93427464
>Was he based on Boss Tweed?
I don't know if he was specifically on Englehart's mind when he created the character but he is definitely the same kind of crooked, political backroom deals on both sides of the law, kind of character.

His appearance was based on Archie Bunker actor Carroll O'Connor, funnily enough.

Yessss one of our rare breed! And yeah, I'm pretty salty about TV Top too. I still like the show, but Rosa is a serious disappointment. Holding out hope that the hint in Rebirth pans out and they bring back Roscoe as the Top (and not as Turbine, not as Rosa, etc). Let him spin and let them embrace the name and powers.
