- nothing planet-sized or larger.

1. HP Doomsday
2. Vaidus

Lobo when he is bored and Sober.

Close Thread.

Silver Age Mangog
S'ivaa
PC Validus
WB Hulk
The General/Shaggy Man PC

Godzilla (especially Marvel's version)
Solomon Grundy
Dragon Man
Fin Fang Foom
Man-Thing

Hecatomb was a mass of psychic bodies made with the intentions of whiping out entire planet's populant leaving the structures intact.

A Monstrous weapon befitting a monster, that also serve as a natural predator to the Mummandrai. Meaning it hunts and eats up a Cassandra Nova.

Swamp thing doesnt make ANYONE'S list ?????
Easily above Man-thing and just as much a "monster" in the conventional sense

Hulk
Doomsday
Etrigan
Swamp Thing
Fing Fang Foom

Not for me.
Alec Holland is a man IN a monster's body, like Ben Grimm.
Man-Thing is a man who was turned INTO a monster.
Thats my take on it.

I'm surprised Devil Dinosaur hasnt been picked, even by me. I didnt even think of him till hours later. If pressed i'd replace Fin Fang Foom with DD. Those monster wrestling trunks on FFF though, are hard to beat.

Swamp Thing, for me.

And riv, Imma stop you there. Swamp Thing is a heap of vegetable matter that THINKS it's a man.

Always loved this little guy-

Imma stop you right there stopping me, and say we agree to disagree, for what is the measure of a man?

Not - How did he die? But - How did he live?
Not - What did he gain? But - What did he give?

These are the things that measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.

Not - What was his station? But - had he a heart?
And - How did he play his God-given part?

Was he ever ready with a word of good cheer?
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?

Not - What was his church? Not - What was his creed?
But - Had he befriended those really in need?

Not - What did the sketch in the newspaper say?
But - How many were sorry when he passed away?

These are the things that measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.

Or, you know, we could totally argue about this for a couple pages, like true comic book fanboys.

Sigh

^^^never heard if that monster.

Hulk
Etrigan
Swamp Thing
Validus
Doomsday

Good pick on Doomsday.

As a child Swamp Thing always terrified me for some reason.

And not a giant sized Man Thing?

He probably would of, but Swamp Thing had the tv show.

Thats not bad.
As a kid i was afraid of Guy Smiley:

He was the most human of all the Sesame Street characters, but, yeah he totally made me have nightmares.

Frankenstein
Validus
Swamp Thing
Omega(from LoSH)
Doomsday

It's a shame you limited to just DC and Marvel. There's some Indie comics have some pretty sick creatures.

Not sure why I didn't think about him initially, but: Bizarro.

godzilla (was in marvel for a short time so he should count....)
dracula
wendigo
etrigan
frankenstein

i have a feeling i'm forgetting something..... maybe i'll think of it later.

Godzilla definitely counts. Thats why i picked him.

So, the ban on non-Marvel and DC comic book monsters is hereby ABOLISHED!!

Let monsters of all different universes find fun, friendship and acceptance in this thread!!

(That is, of course, as long as they meet all other remaining criteria.) Because, well, the other monsters are just... Well, "different".

And, as we all know, things that are "different", should always face strict intolerance.

So, let it be done.

Godzilla from Marvel. Stalemates Avengers, one shots Hulk and whipped classic Ben Grimm when shrunk to rat size. And he is already King

Swamp Thing
Mangog
Doomsday

He's probably just talking about his horsecock and equating his monster dick to be relevant here.

His soul resides in the most ferocious carnivore in the Korbinite empire which was further enhanced through bio-engineering.
That be a monster. Plus most folks who meet him for the first time are almost always startled by his features.

That too.

If the Swamp Thing counts then so should the World Elementals.

I see that some questions seem to be popping up concerning the criteria that would be involved for a character to be considered a "monster". And, to be honest, after creating this thread I immediately had the same questions.

So, let's throw some ideas around.

What details would have to be present for a character to be officially listed as a "Monster"?
I was thinking...

1. Unique- if the creature is simply a member of a "monstrous" race / species, it would not be a monster. Unless the creature is mutated, altered, etc, in such a way that sets it apart, even from it's own monstrous race / species.

2. Appearance- a character that has all "human" features, even if somewhat strange or frightening, should not be considered a "monster", imho. There must be features present, that set it apart from the "human" form.

I will stop there and see if anybody else has an opinion on this.

No one mentioned Infinity Thrall? I'm surprised.

A limited self awareness/intelligence?
Not saying the character has to be stupid, just the opposite; the character should have an animal cunning if anything.
Hulk speak at most.
The character shouldnt be able to quote byron and Shelley.

Wouldnt that thing be more along the lines of an "Abstract Entity"? Or, even a "multi-abstract", since it embodies foundation components of the universe?

What do u think?

What about Battle Beast? Would he qualify?

Aw shucks.

Thats why i framed it in the firm of a question.
I'm not rock solid on that one, just throwing it out there as a talking point.

I guess this has never really been hashed out before.

Yeah, its one reason i dont consider Swamp Thing a monster. He seems human to me. But you're right in that my description is flawed.
