If Marvel Villains Had a Civil War

[JohnDiggle]

Who would come out on top?

[MichaelC]

The answer to that is so obviously Doom that the question is actually kind of boring.

I'd actually be more curious to see who gets second-place, as that might actually result in a lively debate.

So Doom Beats, Thanos, Galactus and Apocalypse? how does he achieve this?

[MichaelC]

I assumed this was about earth-based villains. If cosmics who have had antagonist roles count, then I suppose whichever cosmic had the most insane feats.

[JohnDiggle]

Yeah I meant the entirety of the Marvel villains.

[The Dork Knight]

Pre Retcon Beyonder , if he counts as a villain .

[HulkSmash666]

Strictly keeping it to Earth, I'd see a bunch of factions and alliances forming, maybe a few mini-wars to consolidate power, before the true sides of this war are determined.

For example:

HYDRA

Red Skull
Baron Zemo
Arnim Zola
Baron Strucker
Crossbones
Grim Reaper
Taskmaster
Serpent Society
Viper
Madame Masque

A.I.M. AND THE INTELLIGENCIA

M.O.D.O.K.
The Leader
Mad Thinker
Red Ghost
Graviton
Super Adaptoid

THE HAND

The Mandarin
Kingpin
The Gorgon
Bullseye
Typhoid Mary
Steel Serpent

SINISTER SQUADRON

Green Goblin
Dr Octopus
Morlun
Carnage
Venom
Lizard
Mysterio
Electro.....plus every other Spider-Man villain they can get.

MASTERS OF EVIL

Loki
Count Nefaria
Kang The Conqueror
Baron Mordo
Dracula (backed by the Vampire Nation)
Red Hood (backed by an army of super villains)
Mole Man (backed the Subterranean armies)
Attuma (backed by Atlantis)

BROTHERHOOD OF MUTANTS

Magneto
Mystique
Juggernaut
Sabretooth
Avalanche
Pyro......and just about every mutant villain left after......

CLAN AKKABA

Apocalypse
Mr Sinister
Selene
Exodus
Shadow King
Holocaust
Proteus
Mad Jim Jaspers

LEGION OF DOOM

Dr Doom (backed by Latveria)
Molecule Man
Ultron
Morgan Le Fay


This is something like how I think it'd shape out (or at least how I'd WANT a Villain civil war to look if it were to break out). Of course, Doom would win, cause Doom reasons, but it would make for an epic story if suddenly all the heroes were gone and the planet was left for the villains to fight over.

Big A has no place here, really.

It's already a huge gap between Thanos and Galactus, but Apocalypse is literally a bug to both of them.
And also compared to Doom, really.

[The Dork Knight]

It's a bigger gap between Thanos and Galactus than Thanos and someone who bitches out a guy who fights inside stars

[JohnDiggle]

Damn Had no idea Apocalypse so weak when compared to the other Big Bads of Marvel.

[The Dork Knight]

Well he's not Thanos . And Thanos is not Galactus . And Galactus is not Thanos with the IG. And Thanos with the IG is not Beyonder ...and so it goes on and on

For what's it's worth personally I see him as a very credible threat to most X men line ups with his class 100 strength and whatnot

Unfortunately "most X men line ups " doesn't even begin to touch the surface of some of the heroic powerhouses or teams like the Annihilators ( who Thanos beat down without undue effort)

[Postmania]

thanos beat down the annhilators once?

[The Dork Knight]

Yep fairly recently . Infinity Revealation

BFRs Gladiator . Physically beats down Ronan and Beta Ray Bill. Adam Warlock (running on Thanos' power ) beats Quasar , the space knight whatshername , and Surfer but only after Surfer's blasted Thanos , to no effect whatsoever ( again )

It's to be noted that Warlock got Surfer with a sneak attack and intervened because he thought Thanos would kill the lot of them to which Thanos pointed out "You mistake desire for a little exercise as unbridled bloodlust " or something . Thanos is truly a badass sometimes

He also has another showing shortly after , in the godawful Hulk vs Thanos mini where he fights evenly with Annihilus amped on Hulk's blood and the cosmic control rod who in the same series wrecked Gladiator's **** and was about to kill Hulk in a fight but for Pip the Troll's interference of all people

[Anarchist]

thanos beat down the annhilators once?

He beat down Beta Ray Bill and Ronan and BFR'd Gladiator, while Adam Warlock defeated Quasar, Thanos then no-sold a blast from Norrin and Adam Warlock snuck up from behind and took him out.

This is a really interesting line up.
