And I’m taking Poison Ivy off the table. Too easy. I think I’d go with The Penguin, mostly cause that just seems like normal crimes.
Dr Doom, easy
He’s an important bulwark against US imperialism and his only real character flaw is not being able to get over the girl he liked in college
Most of my job would be trying to get him to move on and get over Sue Storm. He’s the leader of a whole country, dude may not get women the way Fidel did but there’s gotta be someone for him
Was going to post Doc Doom too.
Second up is Magneto because mutants rule humans drool.
I’ve posted about this a bit ago, but of x men mutants were an irl thing I’d be donating to fund more sentinels. Any rando could just have the power to destroy worlds, fuck that
But this is the same universe where you can get hit with gamma radiation and punch the planet in half. But that doesn’t get the same level of dehumanization as mutants who time and time again have their attempts to live away from humanity ruined, sometimes even by sentinels.
I don’t know much about the guy and don’t really know his politics, I kinda assumed he was opposed to us imperialism in the same way nazi Germany was. I like that you’ve chosen the job of getting him laid tho. If I wasn’t speaking strictly comics, I’d join up with The Mighty Monarch so fast. I’m a sucker for anyone taking great means for petty comeuppances. To quote the man himself "i wanted to kick his ass! I wanted to builda machine to kickhis ass! I wanted to build an empire to house the machine that would kick his ass! like 21, I can get behind that and would love to help someone with such a project.
Yes, and no
Mr. Freeze started off wanting to avenge his wife’s death at the hands of one Ferris Boyle
Then it turned out she wasn’t dead, just being held hostage by a fake Walt Disney guy
Then the events of Batman and Robin: Sub-Zero happen and Freeze’s wife gets some organ transplants and is fine
Then we see the reason why Mr. Freeze didn’t go off to live with his wife
His condition was deteriorating and before they could stabilize it, he’s left as a head in a jar, so he goes all Final Fantasy villain and wants to destroy everything because his life is fucked
Batman stops him, he spends 50 years in a box, Derek Powers has him cloned into a new body which also begins to deteriorate, Freeze escapes before they can kill him and examine his organs, comes back with new Freeze suit, tries to cause a nuclear reactor to meltdown, he ends up sacrificing himself to help save Batman when Derek Powers tries to kill them both with his new radiation powers
And yeah, that’s Mr. Freeze from the Batman: The Animated Series
The comics get weirder
Catwoman
Poison Ivy does environmental aid and is therefore just generally good and catwoman generally just robs rich people. I’m trying to avoid the easy picks of non evil villains and a lot of woman villains fo fall into that category, gotta admit. Women tend to get the sympathetic/misled villains thing cause comics.
The Penguin cracks me up because he’s basically a funky dude who loves birds and crime and that is the most Hexbear themed villain if I ever heard of one.
