Do Marvel have far more intersting 'Bad guys'

I noticed this the other day !!!!!!!!!!!! I was reading an old edition of the FF4 and i realised, that I was reading the book mainly for the bad guy. Although DC has a collection of really cool Super villains (E.G. mainly Supes and Batman’s arch enemies) the rest seem instantly forgettable. I mean 'Captain Boomerang and Cheetah' don't exactly seem the most formidable foes for characters who can move mountains and survive nukes. Where are those classic background characters, such as Wrecker, Abomination, Ultron, Absorbing man, Rhino, Sandman and many more !!!!!!!!! 🙂

I don't know. I think they've done a good job of revamping foes like Black Adam, Cheetah, Zoom, Despero, Deathstroke, Dr. Light, etc.

For instance, The Flash's rogues gallery used to be a joke but Geoff Johns turned them into the 2nd best gallery in DC next to Batman's, IMO.

Tracer from Spider-Man the other has become an instant favorite of mine after only three issues.

did you just call the cheetah weak? did you hear about her recent upgrade? she has flash-like speed, and claws that can magically cut through anything.

Yeah. But before that she was hardcore puss (no pun intended).

D.C normally has weak ass villains. Slade was an awesome villain, so they turned him into a anti-hero type guy and depowered him.

Now, he's a villain again, and back to full power. It's a good thing.

But, as a rule, D.C villains are mainly weak and fodder for the heroes.

I just can't beleive they are fighting people who can throw Boomerangs and Human Sharks !!!!!!!!!!!!

There are Some obvious exceptions, but not many. 🙂

but you also have to consider when DC had superheroes they didn't have super villains just petty crooks and then Nazis then evil scientist. It wasn't until later that they had developed the super villian theat was a revoloution in comics. So by that time Stan Lee could make villians with powers. DC still had to use the old villians because the fans liked them so thats why DC villians have less power then most Marvel villians. But DC has interesting characters if you can look past how much power do they have? More power does not make a great villian it helps though

I think DC have one or two villains which are very cool whereas Marvels villains arent as cool but there are a lot more of them.

Darksied and Deathstroke spring to mind as really cool villians. Cyborg Supes as well and Lobo

oh, i thought you meant like now, present time. though she was able to easily cut wonder woman, and give her a run for her money. but the male cheetah was great, he was even too fast for superman and beat him in like 3 minutes.

Cheetah is an interesting case. In WW #222, Diana flat out embarrassed her. I mean, she completely laid her out. However, the whole issue was about Cheetah's origin, trying to add depth to her character, explaining exactly why she hates Diana, etc. It was pretty good.

Magneto, Galactus, Dr. Doom, Thanos....classics!

I'd say it's pretty equivelent.
Lex Luthor.
Darkseid.
Brainiac.
Parallax.
Extant.
Mordru.
Etrigan.
Lobo.

Pre-retcon Parallax

ahem.

Hmmmm... Marvel baddies...

Korvac
Thanos
Tyrant
Abomination
Ultron
Kang
Dr. Doom
Exodus
Magneto
Tracer
Baron Zemo
Bullseye
Venom
Carnage
Juggernaut
Abraxas
Zarathos
Mephisto
Loki

Yeah, Abraxas is a real classic.
