Dumb Marvel Villains and Dumb Evil Plans

[ETMike1988]

Donald Trump: "I will make America GREAT AGAIN!"

[Anthony W]

Ah Could Maximum Carnage be considered a "dumb crime"? Carnage just causing wanton destruction and mayhem seemed on the surface to be "spreading a message." But it just seemed really annoying. Maybe that was a matter of story execution rather than a dumb villain.

Didn't Carnage take a break in the middle of all that wanton destruction to go to a rock concert as well? Or I remembering that wrong?

Well, there's Turner D. Century trying to off an entire generation he deemed too immoral to live with a magic horn sort of device.

*Here's a good one from Marvel Two-In-One 008: Some weirdo named Miracle Man was sent to the tribe of Wyatt Wingfoot to regain humility and get in touch with his mortality, but after hearing the tribe chief talk about stars he decided to send the tribe chief and three of his men as nomads/bedouins while the rest of the tribe relive the birth of Christ, Miracle Man also created a baby to make himself believe he's a deity.

*From Marvel Two-In-One 010: An old flame of Natasha Romanoff leads a group of renegades to undo injustice, by building a massive thermal bomb with a greatly large range in an oil rig to send it waaaayyy into the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to create a massive tidal wave that covers the global mass of land of every continent.

Ha! Turner D. Century is a great villain he was just forty years ahead of his time! Now is the time for that villain to make a comeback, in the right hands he could be terrifying.

1. He would have to fight The Champions.

2. He would have to be allowed to kill one or two of them to establish his cred so he is taken seriously. Miles, Ms. Marvel and Kid Nova are off limits. Everyone else is up for grabs.

3. He needs a real family that's just as twisted as he is that turns out to be androids.

4. I'm serious, the character's only flaw was that he was created too early! This is the perfect time for him.

Bit of Trivia.....the Miracle Man was the third villain the Fantastic Four faced in the Lee/Kirby days. He appears in FF #3 and was just a common stage magician who was really good with hypnotizing people into seeing things he wanted them to see.

That's actually a pretty solid point, given how a lot of the problems we have now in the real world boil down to nostalgia for the "good old days" run amok and unchecked.

wasn't that guy killed by scourge? it would have to be an all new person. plus his gimmick was in his technology. Maybe somebody gets hold of a new tesseract fragment.

[Ravin' Ray]

He was resurrected by the Hood, died again, then resurrected by good ol' Dormammu only to be confronted by Superior Spider-Man. And yes, his signature E.T. style flying bike is there, along with his dumb (and useless) horn.

So… if anyone really wants to see him threaten modern-day hedonists and narcissists while touting his waxed mustache as superior to the unruly, filthy bushes of those younguns, he's available.

What's really hilarious is that in this day and age people will mistake Turner D. Century for being a hipster. Ya' gotta love it.

Then there was this knuckle-headed savant:

Fabian Stankowicz, who was going to make a name for himself as the Mechano-Maurader by ambushing Avengers, only to get continually stomped in a string of progressively humiliating off-hand manners. He did, however, actually have talent, and wound up on the team's tech staff after one beating too many.

Might explain why his power didn't work on Ghost Rider, other than plot armor.

This guy: whatever he's cooking at the moment is almost guaranteed to have high concentrations of idiocy in the recipe.

I haven't read it myself but didn't Doc Ock have a plan to cure cocaine addiction?

Ock's plan was to release a gas in Earth's atmosphere that would cause massive damage to cocaine addicts that try to take their shot.So, in order for the rich and powerful to continue enjoying their cocaine addiction, they'll have to pay ransoms or follow Ock's orders.

You have to admit, that's the most silly,yet classic, supervillain plan that Ock had in his entire career.

Number One Fan. He has propellers on his hand, slapped his forehead and accidentally killed himself.
