1. Which superhero would make the most compelling villain?

2. Which supervillain would make the most compelling hero?

Batman would be a compelling villain, he would be practically a Doom clone and thats a top notch villain.

Sandman, the enemy of Spider-man is easy to relate with and not cliche-y as in the basic antihero/villain turned good formula.

Batman would be a pretty scary villain...he'd be pretty competent and have a backup for every situation.

I don't like Sandman as a hero much though.

Well, he would not be mainstream at all, but I was not aiming for mainstream. It would be a little Luke Cagish as a hero. To be honest the villains are harder to figure out because in DC they are unidimensional and in Marvel most of then have done heroics at some point.

Now seriously, you can see Joker as a hero?

actually that would be interesting to have Joker as a hero...he would drive the villains insane

Oh and yes, yes I can.

Well, not exactly but along the lines. I still wonder how heroic you can make him look though.

Batman villains are by the book examples of psychological illness. The Joker is well written so I guess there may be some inner struggle that makes him more than unidimensional, but otherwise you can say that his sole dimension would be to be insane.

Just have his insanity fluctuate.

Thats what I meant by well written, I was precisely thinking about the killing joke at the time. There are not many villains that have as much dept as he does though.

catwoman a hero
hulk a villain

Silver Surfer or Iron Man

Catwoman or Magneto

Villian to hero = TaskMaster & Arcade

Hero to Villian = NightWing & Hellboy


thought bout lex, but if he was a hero he would just be a ironman rip.

and didnt sandman join the avengers for a shortwhile or something like that?

TaskMaster isn't exactly a villain. He has feelings and everything

hummm true true, then maybe just put him in a lighter shade of gray? lol something like Deadpool, just not him.

The General would be a good hero.

I still say Electro and Wrecker.

Sandman is interesting because , let's be honest, he IS what any average joe with Superpowers would be like.

Daredevil would make a great street level villian. He could take out a few heroes after dark.

Wasp would be a great master thief.

Vision would make a great villian as well.

Joker would be more like Punisher, killing and everything, only goes after criminals etc.

Like Venom, he would be what Venom is when he was a hero.

Superman would be a SCARY villian. Never Holding back. OMG. He'd Be Black Adam with more feats. Dr. Strange would also be scary as a villian. I great hero would be Magneto. I also like The Hyper clan as a team of heroes.

silver surfer could raise some hell as a villain. imagine surfer going all out. he beats people into submission holding back. imagine if he killed all the time. there would be lots of dead heroes.

Batman would be a pretty compelling villain.

I would like to see Onslaught as a hero.

Also, I think Dr.Strange would make a good villain.

I always like when Dr. Doom is forced into a heroic role. His reasoning is perfect: ("They cant destroy this planet, I own this planet". I wouldnt mind seeing Doom using his full powers to stop a insane Thor.

"A god ? Bah , Doom has conquered the mighty Galactus himself , no mrere god can stand in Dooms way ! "
