Q: if the world's supervillains can work together-the why not the heroes?

No. Especially this part:

That isn't true. If you're putting together a crew to rob a bank, and you hire an ex-Black Panther and a former member of the Aryan Brotherhood, they're either going to not take the job, constantly be at each other's throats, or kill each other.

 

With super powers comes great super ego's.

 

Supervillains have a focal point and thats generally the destruction of a superhero.

superheros don't have this focal point and their agendas for teaming up are always mixed or forced or just happen.

what one would probably notice is after the destruction of a group/individual by a supervillain, these arrangements fall on their heads as each probably tries to establish their superiority over the other.

 

Evil always turns in on itself eventually. I don't know where you're getting this harmony among villains thing.

 

Well I dont think Logic really plays a part at all. I think its all about business. Kind of similar to how the big muscle bound heroes of the 80s never managed to be in a movie together (Sly & Arnold). It might deflate their superhero status and egos. Some Heroes dont like taking orders when they can perfectly handle the job themselves. I think thats why heroes like the unoffical Fantastic Four with the likes of the Hulk, Wolverine, Spiderman, and Ghost Rider never seem to get along...and fans understood that too.

Villains typically 100% of the time lose the greater battle and hence it would make sense for them to join up to increase their odds.

 

You think about these things too hard FantasyArtist.

 

What do you mean why can't heroes work together? There's all sorts of Super teams out there, and they operate far better than Villains cuz the villains will ultimately screw each other over.

 

Because it's way edgier to have heroes who don't trust their own shadows, let alone other people. Also, alcoholism or some form of violence against an undeserving victim is a good thing. It's usually best for the hero to have a massive personal failing that most of us would not forgive a friend for doing.

"Heroes." The very idea! This is the brave new world, we don't have good guys.

 

It is funny to claim that "villains get along" when a criticism hopping around Marvel for years now is how disorganized their rogues are and their inability to capitalize on ANY of the heroic issues that have come up since 2004. A messload of crooks escaped the Raft, but most have been recaptured or pummeled a few times. Hammerhead tried to rally them during CW, but that was undone pretty quickly. The existence of the Thunderbolts has seemingly eliminated all the "good" members of the Masters of Evil. The best attempt at unification in the last 4 years has been under The Hood, and they were undone by the New Avengers (or rather, a Zom-Posessed Dr. Strange).

Villain teams almost always crumble because of clashing egos, or lack of success or leadership, or so on. Hero teams have usually been somewhat more stable.

 

I dont understand the question of this thread. Superheroes team up and work together waay more than super villains. Always have. We have the avengers, x-men, fantastic four, the defenders... we've seen Spidey team up with basically every hero in the MU several times, the same with wolverine. Its just that in recent years the heroes are having trust issues because of registration and the invasion, but normally the marvel heroes are always happy to work together for a common goal. Villains all have their own agendas and their "team ups" are artificial.

 

That's what i'm saying.

 

Because all criminals have the same, completely rational, business like mentality. The fact is that some criminals can work past pettiness to get things done, and others can't.
