MY TOP FIVE VILLIANS

Hey it's me again The Marvel guy . Last week I talked about my Five favourite heroes of all time in the Marvel universe, that started from Deadpool all the way to Wolverine and also included The Punisher in between.This week i am gonna talk about the Five villains I like the most in Marvel universe (i also like the dark side). 
The Dark Side 


                                                                      NUMBER   5
                                                                   ENCHANTRESS


She is a character you see in every movie,cartoon or game that includes or concerns Thor ,you just don't know it's her. She is known for stalking(My definition) Thor because of her love for him,she has even tried killing Jane Foster just to remove the competition so as to have Thor all to herself . Her powers , originally was given by Loki, who had the intention of using her in his evil scheme of world domination although she didn't know the origin of her power . An Asgardian by birth having just a sibling ,a sister to be precise and also having unknown parentage. Enchantress has come a long way from being just the girl Loki gave powers to actually developing her powers into abilities that are just good and even better than Loki (My opinion ). Her abilities and power includes superhuman strength ,longevity(she's Asgardian), speed ,healing factor and stamina. But that's like her borrowed course ,Her major concentration or what she is known for is Mind control , Telepathy, Teleportation, Illusions,Energy Blasts and saving the best for the last Time Manipulation(she can go back in time ,if she feels like). She is the second most powerful sorceresses in Asgard and Marvel ,the first is the the woman she learnt from. She is awesome and her ability of not only controlling your mind but also going back in time makes her deadly and hard to kill (Teleportation,she could just teleport from the scene of combat to a more relaxing place).She hardly use her superhuman strength in combat,she relies more on the power of the tongue and mind ,that is how good she is on Mind control. She once control  the mind of Thor into attacking the Avengers ,making them look like the enemy to Thor ,and lastly she is hot.

                                                                           NUMBER   4
                                                                KRAVEN  THE HUNTER 




Kraven  real name is  Sergei Kravinoff ,born to a Russian family who fled to the states in the 1917 so as to escape a decimated February revolution of the Russian nobility. Kraven is one of the villains of Spiderman and he is good at it ,just a normal man but with the help of a potion made from various unknown jungle herbs ,Kraven becomes someone with more than enough superhuman strength, reflexes , stamina and speed to make him a physical threat to Spiderman. Although his power is not developed as that of Spiderman but he is still a threat. He can withstand pain and he is more durable than a normal human,the potion also slows down his aging process making Kraven who is already 70 to look like a man in his mid 30's. He also has a brother who is also a villain named chameleon (looks like it runs in the family business ),they once teamed up to fight against Spiderman.
What put him on the list of top Five villain is the fact that even without consuming his daily potion ,Kraven naturally is an Olympic-level athlete ,a gifted tactician,hunter and hand to hand combatant ,having great knowledge of pressure points, both in the anatomy of humans and in many animals. He can strike at these nerve clusters with pinpoint accuracy, allowing him to incapacitate more powerful opponents or animals. He is familiar with many exotic poisons and tranquilizer , which he often uses during his hunts. So basically he was awesome before he even took his daily pill . The potion just advanced his already gotten abilities and added a few new ones like the enhancement of his sight,smell and hearing to a super human level plus he is not a manic ,he is just obsessed with Spiderman that is all he cares about.

                                                                       NUMBER   3
                                                                  MYSTIQUE


If she is not in your list ,then your list is wrong and need a total do over . She is that blue lady that never put any clothes on . Raven Darkholme , known as Mystique is a subspecies of humanity known as mutant ,who are born with superhuman abilities . She is a shapeshifter who can turn into anyone of her choosing with exquisite precision . She is known as the right hand man or woman of Magneto and his team of "Brotherhood Of Mutants ". She is also the mother of X-Men Nightcrawler and the adoptive mother of Rogue. Mystique has built a name for herself as a great villain ,although sometimes she helps the good guys but not without forgetting her reputation. As soon as she is done helping X-Men or Avengers , she moves on  to assassinate someone; her target usually being high profile citizens . Mystique power, to me is only Shape shifting ,but with that shape shifting ability she can do a lot of damage . Her shape shifting is not limited by body mass ,appearance or power of the person she is shape shifting to, meaning she can shapeshift into a dog or baby or a old man and have their appearance and voice with the way they walk, everything to detail and in case of powers she also possess both the person ability as well as having her own (she can have and use both Wolverine and Cyclops power at the same time while still retaining her own). She can also create the appearance of clothes and other materials out of her body including glasses,shoes,identity cards and even test tubes ,the list goes on (she can have Yeezus without the need to buy it ). Due to her shapeshifting ability ,her body constantly rejuvenates giving her a youthful appearance whereas she is over hundred years old if not more than that. She has even moved her vitals organs out of place in order to survive a gunshot wound to the head or to the torso,she also has given herself two heads and four arms to facilitate a gun fight on two fronts though with strain. She can also make herself invisible creating camouflage for herself . Mystique is what the french called  "genial"  which means awesome

                                                               NUMBER  2       
                                                     THE DARK PHOENIX   



If you watched the last X-MEN: Apocalypse movie that came out earlier this year and X-MEN: The Last Stand ,then you should know what i am talking about . Seeing Jean Grey unleashing her power on Apocalypse killing him in the process was something else ,that scene in the movie is just an atom of the power that Jean possess as The Dark Phoenix . It took the entire Marvel universe once to stop her. Her abilities remains kinda the same but only heightened to a state of a god like being , she can rearrange the molecular structure of matter and fly at a supersonic speed ,she could travel through hyper space but only when she uses The Pheonix . She once ate the energy of a star which resulted in a large supernova killing an entire population of a remote planet in the galaxy that was orbiting that star,  which made her more dangerous than Galaticus (he does the same thing ,but he only eat planets to maintain balance in the galaxy). This dark side of her result to Jean having split personality ,in which the dark side of her usually takes over especially in extreme situations .S he is extremely powerful (that I can't stress enough ) and shouldn't be underestimated , and no matter what ,she should never be pissed off plus she is hot literally.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


                                                                  NUMBER 1
                                                                 MAGENTO
                                                                         



This man is awesome ,he is the villain other villains fear (and they should). Erik Lehnsherr born during World war 2 to a Jewish family  ,was the only survivor of the holocaust caused by the Nazis. Being separated from his family and watching them die. That experience was what made Magento to first showcase his power that he didn't know he have about at that time. Witnessing the war in Nazi Germany,Auschwitz and Vinnytsia , made Magneto have a different look  of things on the way mutants were being treated in the Marvel Universe . Ready to use deadly force to ensure that this atrocities don't happen to mutant all over the world ,as he believed that mutants are the next evolving being to take over mankind . Magneto abilities is one I fear ,because everything in the entire world that is useful and valuable is made out of metal like houses ,phones ,key,ATM cards(magnetic strip),and some people even have metal inside them to replace lost tissue or organs  for the body . His power are mostly magnetic manipulation,generation of magnetic field,fighting through that field ,resistance to telepathic attacks,a hand to hand combatant with lot of combative experience but  his major concentration is the manipulation of electromagnetic fields . He can also attract non-magnetic object too but to a lesser extent ,and his magnetic field that he creates to protect himself is strong enough to withstand attacks from Thor,Hulk, and Jean as Phoenix . His manipulation technique is very powerful that he once changed the magnetic field to dampen all telepaths within  his reach . Magneto powers is breathtaking ,because he will literally take your breath away. But I respect him because no matter what ,he never forget or harm his friends and am talking of Charles Xavier. He has helped Xavier on many occasions ,at some point Magneto was part of X-Men . He can be seen as a villain ,anti-hero and a super hero too but all he truly wants is just to have a place for all mutants to live in peace .

CIVIL WAR

Hey it's me again ,the guy who has nothing interesting to say that much and who always say "hey it's me again".  Over the weekend,i got myself to read the civil war comics just to see what all the fuss was all about ; don't get me wrong i know what civil war is all about but i just wanted to know more about it like who died and who killed who, who crossed the line and all that sentimental-ish . So i got myself down not only to watch the movie but to read about the comic as well.  As you all know am gonna start by promising not to give spoilers from the comic for like a second then still go ahead and give you the spoilers i promised not to give so get ready and BEGIN 


   The comic was written and drawn in the year 2006 by the team of Mark Millar,Steve Mcniven,Dexter Vines and Morry Hollowell. The comic showed the world of Marvel Universe shaken to it's core ,heroes fighting heroes ,villains on vacation ,and all this because of different views and perspective in which in their own way they were both right. Of course we all know the reason for their war in the movie but not everyone knows what brought about the war in the comic version. The war  happened  because of some tragedy that was caused by some new heroes who wanted to get fame for their reality Tv show and decided to fight villains , who were  so out of their league which resulted to one of the villains(Nitro) exploding himself as a bomb ,killing thousands of civilians mostly children, which resulted to casualties. The reckless act of the new heroes, causing the death of thousands was something the mass could not take lightly especially when children were involved. This made the government ask the heroes to register, to act under the government so as to minimize casualties . Iron Man agreed due to him feeling guilty for the death of  thousands and having an encounter with one of the victims mother didn't help either. Captain America on the other hand refused to sign up as he saw it as another political play by the upper class individuals in which super heroes will be used as secret agents or some kind of police ,meaning heroes who voluntarily save lives will now have to choose which life to save or arrest just because of an order from above. This saw to Captain America being the bad guy and chased around the city even when he was trying to save lives he is being pursued. Some people agreed with Cap on his ideas, so they joined Team Blue and team blue players consists of heroes like 


  • Falcon.
  • Daredevil.
  • Hercules.
  • Goliath.
  • Luke cage.
  • Cloak.
  • Human torch.
  • Sue Richards aka Invisible woman of fantastic four.
  • Black Panther.
  • Patriot.
  • Hulking of young avengers.
  • The Punisher.

While the team of Iron Man consists of:

  • Mr fantastic
  • The Thing
  • Hank pym
  • She-Hulk
  • Wasp
  • Spiderman
  • Thor(clone)
Iron Man team also included bad guys in their list against the fight with Captain America.  At first things seems like just another argument that will entirely die down. All that changed when a hero died (not gonna mention ) and it dawned on both side  that this was blowing out of proportion ,some who where scared for their lives switched side and some just didn't even choose a side at all like Doctor Strange . The death of the hero brought uncertainty,lies,betrayal and more argument on who was right and who was wrong on both side. Too make matter worse Cap team was still pursued by S.H.I.E.L.D and Iron Man, and when caught they were sent to a custom made prison  for people with powers who didn't register. It was hell for Captain America as he didn't have enough resources as Tony Stark did to turn the tide in his favor. While contemplating on what to do in order to win the war with Daredevil ,Luke Cage and the rest of the team ,The Punisher shows up with an unconscious Spiderman on his hand .
   




































Apparently Spiderman ideas also changed when he saw the hero die and he knew that he was fighting for the wrong side, especially when Tony stark was giving flimsy excuse of what actually happened and still pursuing his dreams of all heroes being registered under the law. He decided to leave Iron man team, but it wasn't that easy as Spiderman leaving Iron team means he is now a fugitive of the law making him been hunted by S.H.I.E.L.D and by S.H.E.I.L.D , i mean a group of villains recruited to work for Iron Man. Spiderman was almost dead if not for Punisher that put bullet holes in his pursuer head(won't also mention the villain name ). This resulted to Cap now having information about The Avengers Tower and where the caught heroes were kept as prisoner thanks to Spiderman and The Punisher.  Also his skills as a special forces soldier came in handy in infiltrating The Tower. This action bought The punisher a time of praise and adoration from the main man himself Captain America until The punisher being who he is shot two more Villians that wanted to join Captain America side. This pissed Captain America so much that he beat The Punisher to a pulp and kicked him out of the team



   


































The last issue of this comic was something ,both teams finally got to fight out their belief and the mastermind that was behind all the problems used this opportunity to attack the good guys on both sides and caused more bloodshed. At a point Mr Fantastic was almost killed by a bad guy that was in his team . The war to say was epic ,Captain America was so pissed of at Iron man so much that he gave Tony a beating he will never forget easily ,he was even at the brink of bashing Tony head with his shield before being held by civilians who saw that this was turning into a war that will claim millions of lives. Captain still beating Iron man while resisting the civilians hold on him, finally got to his sense when he saw what had happened all over the place ,the destruction,the lives lost including some heroes and the people who were injured ,it was devastating to him. He was so ashamed of his self that he surrendered willingly to the Authorities for persecution and ordered his team to stand down and face justice .It was indeed a war ,that cost a lot of lives.    

The entire comic of civil war was interesting and always wanting you to find out  more or what happened next ! Reading the comic will  make you understand the movie a little bit more than you already do. There are other parts or types of the civil war comic , one focus on the future after the war that happened and how it affected those who survived the war. And there is one about Spiderman helping a new hero being accepted into the hero community , another about the Kingpin return but this one i prefer you read .
                                         

  Till next time Stay safe
