Sabretooth

Unlike the heroics of Wolverine, Sabretooth‘s thirst for blood is that of a wild savage beast. His mutation altered his physical appearance, giving him features of a carnivorous animal. Out of fear from his unstable parents, Sabretooth suffered a cruel and abusive childhood. Because of this, Sabretooth became a mentally unstable, feral beast that kills mercilessly and brutally for personal satisfaction. His acts of serial killings categorized him as one of Marvel Comics most dangerous villains.

Because of his mutation, Sabretooth is an excellent survivalist. His mutant abilities are similar to the predatory animals of the forest. He can survive in subzero temperatures, track down prey items via super enhanced senses: scent and sight, either day or pitch dark.  Just imagine if humans had these animalistic abilities. We could live efficiently in the wilderness without the worries of fire materials to cook, heating, light and sense of location. Let’s not forget, the healing factor would protect against all potential threats against the body internally or externally, giving humans extended lifespans….

Sabretooth made his live appearances in X-Men and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Many comics fans would agree that Tyler Mane‘s portrayal of Sabretooth was a better choice than Liev Schreiber, mainly due to physical appearance. Sabretooth is known to be physically superior to Wolverine as shown throughout the comics and in the 2000 X-Men film. In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Sabretooth was overpowered by the adamantium enhanced Wolverine, which brought confusion among comic fans because adamantium always held back Wolverine or Sabretooth’s potential. Which film do you think gave the best portrayal of the feral mutant known as Sabretooth??

The Riddler

The Riddler is among a list of villains who has experienced abuse as a child from the father figure. (The Red Skull, Sabretooth, Deadshot….) An abusive atmosphere is the common background to most comic book villains. Despite Edward choosing a life of crime, Edward is similar to Bruce Wayne/Batman to some degree. Both characters are wealthy men, genius intellect and even have great detective skills. In various degrees, The Riddler is a worthy foe to Batman. But to Batman, The Riddler is nothing more than a mental challenge than physical in his crime fighting career.

The Riddler has made his way to the TV and movie screen. The Riddler features in all Batman cartoons series, but he got his major feature in film with Batman Forever, portrayed by Jim Carrey. In the TV show Gotham, the Riddler was portrayed by Cory Michael Smith. Will a new actor take the role of this mysterious villain, or will this villain ever make it back to the big screen for a second time?

Could there be truth to The Riddler’s 3D Box, which was shown in the Batman Forever? What if,..the purpose of the box was no different from the purpose of our own televisions and cable boxes…! The purpose to is to capture our mentality. For example, when you watch a thriller movie, certain scenes are equipped with music of suspense, capturing your emotion and mental state of the scene. It feels as if you are the character in danger when in reality, you’re the one watching a movie!! Now that we have 3D movies and 3D televisions, are our IQs really decreasing while spending more time in front of the television?!

Loki

loki5Loki is a villain with many aliases, which all stem around deception. Loki has become a physical manifestation of his feelings towards his origins. Believing to be a son of Odin, only to find out he’s the son of Laufey, King of Jotunheim. The Frost Giants are sworn enemies to the throne of Asgard. Being lied to his entire life left Loki with little regard for being honest and truthful.

Upon learning his origins, Loki knew that this was the true reason he could not ascend to the throne of Asgard. Since Thor is naturally to become King, Loki desired to have Thor eliminated and take control of Asgard on many attempts. But why go through the trouble of becoming King of Asgard when he would naturally ascend to the throne of Jotunheim?

Loki has also made his big screen appearance with Thor, Thor: The Dark World and The Avengers. Actor Tom Hiddleston was chosen to play the God of Mischief and is rated A1 among comic fans for performance. Tom is set to play Loki for other upcoming Avengers films like many of the other main cast members. Will Loki play a role in the Infinity War movies since he wasn’t a part of the storyline Infinity Gauntlet? If so, will he fight with his brother Thor as an Avenger or join Thanos to take down his brother once and for all?

Loki is not the only one to test Thor’s hand or make attempts to claim the throne of Asgard. Doctor Doom has also tried to claim Asgard for himself with great failure. Do you think Doctor Doom is a worthy match for Loki? Who do you think would win in a match up? To be Continued….

Atrocitus

Atrocitus made his introduction to the comic world in the Blackest Night comic series. The Red Lantern Corps is the third strongest corps next to the White and Black Lantern Corps. After losing his family to the Manhunters, Atrocitus was consumed by anger and rage, which fueled his revenge against the Guardians of the Universe. As leader of the Red Lantern Corps, recruiting soldiers wouldn’t be difficult. Many characters throughout all comic universes have gone through intense states of rage

After the Blackest Night introduction, Atrocitus and his Red Lantern Corps made a quick transition to television in the Green Lantern Animated Series Cartoon. This is the third Lantern Corps that has made a live appearance along with the Blue Lantern Corps. Will Atrocitus ever make it to the movie screen or was the animated cartoon series the first- and last-time comic fans will see the Leader and Master of rage?

What if…. Atrocitus went too far to make sure his Corps was the most dominant among them all. What if Atrocitus recruited powerful Sith Lords or even Dark Phoenix herself? Can Atrocitus and his fantasy members be stopped?! To Be Continued….

Count Dracula

Count Dracula is one of the most popular stories in folklore. A creature of the night that drinks the blood of living beings, creates replica minions known as vampires, empowered with super strength and immortality. Dracula and the vampire world of known weaknesses seem to have dwindled from the holy symbols and sunlight over the years, leading to hybrids like Blade.

With the powers of Dracula, it’s no surprise that this character has a place in the Marvel and DC Comic Universes. These versions of Dracula encounter the heroes of their dimension, in hopes of gaining a power upgrade, plus a life of servitude from the victim. In the end, the supernatural power of the undead is no match against a living superpowered hero. Count Dracula of DC Comics met his demise by drinking the sun radiated blood of Superman while Count Dracula of Marvel Comics narrowly escaped death from the incredible force of the Hulk.

In cinema, Dracula was the terror of the Transylvania. Many actors have taken the role of Dracula, and many haven’t compared to the classic Gary Oldman, Christopher Lee, Max Schreck and Bela Lugosi version. All these storylines are based upon horror until now with the 2014 Dracula Untold. This version gets into why Dracula became a horror tale as we know and the origins of vampirism, which you see dates before Dracula, back to Roman Times and before….

Galactus

Galactus is classified villain in the Marvel Universe. This is because countless planets were destroyed during consumption while Galactus replenished his energy. Consuming planets for energy is considered natural for Galactus, but in the eyes of some heroes such as the Fantastic Four and Silver Surfer, this is perceived an act of genocide. As Galactus consumes these countless worlds, intelligent life perishes in the process. Are we as humans villains to planet Earth? We create and consume genetically modified plants and animals for food and clothing. We deplete resources and create global warming, all in efforts to find efficient ways of energy to sustain the population. Are we harming our planet more than helping it?Galactus and his Heralds are similar to Apocalyspe and his Horsemen. Galactus creates Heralds to find worlds suitable for consumption. Apocalypse uses his horsemen to help conquer Earth and transform the population into mutants. Both Galactus and Apocalypse has made changes within their guardsmen. This is either because his subjects sided with heroes against their creator, or they were destroyed in battle. Galactus visions of dominance are on a universal scale while Apocalypse primarily sets his sights on Earth. From the comic book, Galactus appeared in television shows and video games. The idea of Galactus has reached the movie screen but why so vague? The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer film featured the idea of Galactus but not much of an image fans recognize. Could the movie have been better if an image of Galactus in Ultimate Alliance was used? Will Galactus be a part of the upcoming Infinity War movies like his involvement in the comic book?Comic Multiverse fan favorite artwork of Galactus goes to deviantArt artist, codename: Baldasseroni. Excellent work!

Magneto

Magneto is one of the most powerful and popular of all Marvel villains. Magneto’s quest to protect his kind has brought conflict around the world, gaining the full attention of governmental powers. Even though Magneto is perceived as a villain, is he really? As a child growing up in concentration camps, he saw the deaths of many people under Hitler’s rule. While many prisoners were experimented on, the Nazi was unaware the true prize lied within young Erik Lehnsherr. A prize that is hidden away in the genetic code of many people, potentially to become a threat or hope for the world in the future…

Its only natural for a child who has experienced those harsh conditions, to become rebellious later in life against worldly rule. Rebellious against an oppressor with a plan to control mutants powers for weapons and locking them away from normal humans. Knowing this, is its justifiable for Magneto to become a dictator against normal human beings? Since Magneto outlook on his future world is negative in nature, it’s fitting to have a good friend such as Charles Xavier to help bring some balance to his point of view even though they have battled many times via The X-Men.

Magneto is among the many characters that have come from the comic book, to television, game and film. Between Ian Mckellen and Michael Fassbender, who portrayed Magneto’s character on film the best?

Magneto has battled many foes throughout his life. Due to the similarities, do you think Graviton has a chance against the master of magnetism?

Terminators

Technology is an important asset to our world and has become an ever-evolving science to improve our way of life. Artificial intelligence is among the sci-fi thrillers because of the possibility of computer systems evolving to self-awareness and destroy humanity. In cinema, Skynet gained awareness and used Earth’s defense systems to wipe out the human population. Assassin cyborgs called Terminators were created to eliminate the surviving humans who would begin building a Resistance against the system and possibly destroy it.

In the first film, The T-800 Terminators are concealed in human tissue to effectively infiltrate many Resistance bases. The cyborgs are equipped with learning CPUs which allow the cyborg to adapt quickly within human society. Arnold Schwarzenegger is the leading actor in the movie series as the killer cyborg. Skynet sent the Terminator back to the past to eliminate Sarah Conner, who would give birth to her son John, the leader of the Resistance in the future. In films 2 and 3, Arnold’s role as the T-800 was reprogrammed to protect John Conner against potential threats that would jeopardize his future leadership.

T-1000 Running on Make a GIF

The T-1000 is introduced in the second film, with an appearance similar to the Silver Surfer and the ability to shapeshift to mimic humans or objects. Severe cold and heat is the weakness of the T-1000 because of its liquid base instead of having a robotic endoskeleton. It’s mission was to eliminate John Conner and succeed where the T-800 failed with Sarah 10 years prior.

Terminator 3 introduced the T-X cyborg. This Terminator is created with an advanced robotic endoskeleton which allows the android to reconfigure its arms into weapons like plasma cannons. Its outer layer is liquid metal like the T-1000, allowing it to impersonate any human on Earth. The mission of the T-X is to eliminate the future lieutenants of the Resistance along with John Conner. Skynet figured that taking out the future leaders would leave John alone to fight against machines, in the event he escapes his termination again.

See the source image

Terminator: Genisys gave a different perspective on the storyline, seemingly because of Skynet’s continual failure in eliminating John Conner. In this storyline, Skynet ambushes Conner in the future, transforming him into the Model T-3000. Its nanotechnology infects, then transforms humans into nanomachines as well, all to serve Skynet. What if Ultron had Tony’s nanotechnology to create himself an advanced body? How powerful do you think Ultron could be or would he share the same weakness as the T-3000?

Terminator: Dark Fate is another film that has an altered viewpoint to the storyline, making it another possible sequel to Judgement Day. In this film, John and Sarah Conner relocated to Central America in hopes of living a life outside of being United States most wanted. Three years earlier, Skynet sent another T-800 to kill John, but because of John’s constant movements with Sarah and the reprogrammed T-800, the Terminator had trouble keeping up to its target. John’s death was a success this time because Sarah and his defenses were lowered, believing that no Terminators could exist again in their time and that this T-800 being identical to the one John bonded to. After John’s death, the cyborg was stranded without a mission objective or ever reaching the future where Skynet would exist. Because of this, the T-800 chose to live among the humans peacefully. Skynet was not the beginning or end to artificial intelligence though. This film presented a new threat called Legion. This advanced system created terminators known as Rev-9s, which is similar but different to the T-X model. Its exterior is black liquid metal, and its interior is an advanced endoskeleton. The Rev-9’s exterior can separate from the endoskeleton and operate independently as two entities.

Grace and Marcus were once humans who became enhanced cybernetically. Marcus was transformed into a cyborg by Cyberdyne Industries, becoming like the T-800 model for the exception of his heart and brain still being intacted. Because of his unique design, Marcus is similar to Cyborg in the Justice League, with the exception of flight. Grace has cybernetics graphed around her bones, eyes and underlay of skin. Her design is similar to Brixton Lore of Fast and the Furious Presents Hobbs and Shaw, where most of her body is still organic. What kept these characters on the side of good was the vital organs that retained their human emotion.

Technology in our world is evolving each year, in cyberspace and machines. Is it possible that the manipulation of science and technology could have negative results that threatens mankind? Could humans push too far and accidentally create a computer system that could become self-aware and hostile?

Thanos

 

Thanos is one of the most powerful villains in the Marvel Universe. He is a villain whose physiology brings him to near immortality, able to battle with minimal injury and survive most fatal circumstances. To some degree, Thanos can wield cosmic energy. His near godlike abilities create the desire in him to increase his stature in the universe, no matter the cost.

Thanos decides to eliminate half of the universe to impress Mistress Death and win her love. He believed since his soul was of dark nature, he could impress such a powerful entity. When that became a failure over repeated attempts, he was banned from ever entering the realms of the dead. Despite Thanos failure flaw, he is the first villain to conquer the entire universe. Like most villains, his selfish ambition is his greatest downfall, as displayed in the Infinity Gauntlet series. All those who have great power fear to lose it, this fear is what defeats Thanos every time.

Thanos has made appearances on television with 1997 Silver Surfer and 2009 The Super Hero Squad Show. What excites fans is Thanos cameo at the end of The Avengers film and Guardians of the Galaxy. The Avenger movies are leading to the ultimate battle for the Infinity Gems. Do you think Marvel Studios will stick close to the comic book? If so, how will Adam Warlock, Mistress Death and Mephisto be introduced into the movie plot? How do you like the visual concept of Thanos in live movie?

Comic fans have speculated on would who be the universe most dangerous conqueror between Apocalypse, Darkseid and Thanos. Who do you think is the most dangerous of the three? To be Continued…

Dr. Doom

Dr. Doom, like many villains or some heroes, started with tragic beginnings. Doom lost his mother from a dealing gone wrong with the devil Mephisto and his father was lost in a grieving attempt to save his mother. Because the tragedy stemming from supernatural forces, Doom heavily indulged in learning science and magic in attempts to save his mother’s soul. Dr. Doom’s desire to gain more knowledge and power consumed him to the point where his actions took a villainous side than heroic. Because of this, Dr. Doom had many run ins with super teams such as The Fantastic Four and the Avengers, stopping his plans of domination.

Dr. Doom’s intellect level is in comparison with Lex Luthor, Reed Richards, Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark and even Dr. Strange in various degrees. Dr. Doom has many accomplishments and failures in his conquest of rulership. He has even been able to have the Infinity Gauntlet in his possession. Thanos also felt he was worthy of the Infinity Gauntlet as well, even though he failed its power.

Dr. Doom has made his appearance on-screen with The Fantastic Four , Rise of the Silver Surfer and the 2015 Fantastic Four. Dr. Doom appeared to be the main villain for each of the Fantastic Four movies. Each film showed small portions of Dr. Doom’s potential as a menacing super villain. With the 2015 reboot of Fantastic Four, Dr. Doom took on a different origin in power. He also took on different look and array of powers, completely erasing any signs of humanity. With these big changes to the character and storyline, the film took a big lost to its ratings and loyalty to comic fans. Are the current adaptations of Dr. Doom the last of his on-screen appearances or can movie producers revive and correct his character development?
