Graviton- Should be an all hands on deck threat every time he makes an appearance.
Moses Magnum- Amazing power yet somehow is treated like a minor nuisance.

Taskmaster. Since when is he afraid of the Black Widow?! The Taskmaster I grew up with would have destroyed her without breaking a sweat. What happened to this character?

Moses Magnum. Bring him back as a Luke Cage foe. Luke has to do some globetrotting this time.

Nah, to much potential to be wasted on Luke. If Marvel ever gets serious about Storm as a solo hero he would be a perfect villain for her. Originally Posted by Hypestyle

Err, no he simply would have run away. For the majority of his early career, Taskmaster cut and run like it was going out of style Originally Posted by Anthony W

More often than not, even the villains who appear and are used by writers are themselves underutilized.
Frankly, the majority of villains have stopped being foils for heroes. They've stopped having unique motivations. More often than not, they're there to move the scene along. Someone far more articulate than me once described villains as guest stars, who had their own plots and everything.
Now? Not so much. Sometimes, villains are used if they fit a vague, visual theme, as we saw when Sphinx showed up in Howling Commandos.
And I don't see an end any time soon, frankly.

Read the newest release and he was actually afraid of her. Taskmaster.....afraid of the Black Widow? Look,we all like the Black Widow but Taskmaster is so far out of her league it isn't funny. What's next, is he going to get scared at the mere mention of Kate Bishop? Originally Posted by The Cool Thatguy

Since when is Taskmaster out of her league? The Black Widow is not some two-bit mook. She's arguably the best espionage agent in the MU, a trained assassin and has been an Avenger several times over. There's worse people for Taskmaster to be afraid of. Originally Posted by Anthony W

How exactly is he out of her league? He used to cut and run all the time, and Deathstroke he isn't. Originally Posted by Anthony W

If we compared feats, I'm certain Widow would come out on top, even ignoring her greater publishing history.

IMO, half Graviton's charm is being a schmuck. An all-powerful schmuck, to be sure, but a schmuck nonetheless. Busiek did him best in Thunderbolts. Originally Posted by Steroid

I dare say it because Bendis used him to death. But I gotta go with The Hood.
More so for not being uterlised PROPERLY. The Hood is a title character, who we could follow and see the underground through his eyes. Think Marvels version of Breaking Bad, mixed in with the demon that possesses the cloak.
I’d love to see him done properly at some point, but I fear the damage has been done.
