The New Masters of Evil

[The Overlord]

Who would you put on a team of Masters of Evil designed to combat the New Avengers?

 

[Joker]

Hobgoblin, Red Skull, Bullseye, Mandarin/or possibly Crimson Dynamo, Taskmaster, Purple Man

 

[The IronMan]

Dr Octopus
Mr. Hyde
The Ghost
Task Master
Count Nefaria
Iron Monger

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Hobgoblin, Red Skull, Bullseye, Mandarin/or possibly Crimson Dynamo, Taskmaster, Purple Man

That's a good line-up except for Hobgoblin. I don't think the Roderick Hobgoblin ever joined any of the Sinister Six teams.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here, but he doesn't seem the kind to join a supervillain team for kicks.

I know Venom's over-exposed as it is but I think he'd be a good replacement for Hobby there.

If you're gonna have a Masters of Evil then you gotta have some seriously evil motha f**ka's.

If only Zemo weren't an anti hero, he'd work well as the leader, but that's not the case at the moment.

So, I'm thinking, he's not in charge of Hydra anymore, so what's he got left? Why not lead the Masters. Baron Strucker

I want some real power on this team, so, lets go with Abomination.

A guy I'd like to see be reinvented as a top tier baddy, Omega Red.

Enchantress is dead as far as we know, so how about we go with another really powerful mage, Morgan Le Fay and lets bring along her Black Knight as well.

I like the idea of Purple Man on the team. He is truly an evil sumb***h.

Former Black Widow, turned super powered mechina hybrid monster, The Black Adaptoid or whatever her name now is.

And finally, somebody with the technical expertise. Smart, and vicious at the same time, I'm thinking Osborne. Time to move this guy into the big leagues as a serious global threat.

This would truly be a team worthy of the name "Masters of Evil" IMO.

The thing is its not realstic to expect individuals who are that evil to work together, they would be at eachother throats after a little while, they wouldn't have the team work skills to pull it off, here is who I would go with:

Leader: Red Skull, Cap is the leader of the New Avengers so the leader of the new MoE should be his arch nemesis.

Electro: Powerful, takes orders, easily manipulated due his low intelligence and low self esteem, plus he has a grudge against the New Avengers.

Sabertooth: dangerous and has been willing to take orders in the past. Makes a good counter to Wolverine.

Count Nefaria: The team's power house, recruited to counter Sentry. he has a bit of ego, so he can clash with the Skull for leadership, but the Skull will manage to outfox him despite the Count's superior power.

Mr. Hyde: Powerful enough to take on Luke Cage in a fist fight, has been in a group before and his evil personality will be a delight to the Skull.

Silver Samurai: An enemy of Spider-Woman, with underworld connections, martial arts training and sleath abilities.

Typhoid Mary: A deadly assassin with good fighting skills and mental powers. She is very crazy, but she has worked with the Kingpin in the past, so she can take orders, good counter to Echo.

Crimson Dynamo: A good counter to Iron Man.

[Union Jack]

Red Skull
Green Goblin
Doctor Doom
Ultron
Mr.sinister
Baron Zemo
The Leader
Baron Blood

thats a nasty ass villianous team..

The team you have set up would have pretty much the same problem. I mean, theres noway in hell Neferia's taking orders from the Skull. And the reason I didn't use him is because I don't think he'd want to take up somebody else's failed team and reform it. Strucker on the other hand....

The team I set up would have that problem, but in the form of Strucker butting heads with Morgan Le Fay. But after all, they are a very powerful team, and the Avengers will win no matter what. bickering over leadership might be the answer as to the fatal flaw that will bring them down.

Strucker has no experience leading a team of williful individauls, he only has experience ordering around the brain washed drones at Hydra, what evidence is there that he could take people with independent minds?

 

[Anubis]

What evidence is there that he couldn't?

 

[The Overlord]

What evidence is there that he couldn't?

None perhaps, but I have never seen him do it and I don't have any reason to believe he could.

I know Venom's over-exposed as it is but I think he'd be a good replacement for Hobby there.

I just want to see him back doing something ...you could solve that problem with the Purple Man's involvement though. Have one of the other members get him so he can control the others with is aura

 

[LadyMoira]

Baron Zemo as the Evil Leader and Mastermind.

Songbird-his lover and partner in crime.

Purple Man because he's a truly evil perverse bastard; and because we've established he can be made to take orders by Baron Zemo.

Norman Osborne-Cruel, bloodthirsty, a technoligical genius, kicks ass...he belongs in the big time especially now Spidey's an avenger. Would work with Zemo to further his own territory.

Typhoid Mary-because she's so much fun, and she's worked in teams before.

The Leader-He and Baron Zemo got along just fine Mighty Avengers #4!

Morgan Le Fey-every team of supervillains needs a great mystic in the black arts. It's a rule!

 

[Kitsune]

i guess if i band was to form(even tho this team is VER unlikely) of proper malevolence..

Red Skull
Green Goblin
Doctor Doom
Ultron
Mr.sinister
Baron Zemo
The Leader
Baron Blood

thats a nasty ass villianous team..

I don't think Ultron could get passed his "Must kill all humans" syndrome to work well with others.

 

[The Question]

Here's how I see it happening:


To regain power and respect, Count Luchino Nefaria topples several criminal organizations, mostly Mafia, throughout the midwest and sets himself up as Cappi Di Tutti Capi of America's heartland. To help enforce his new territory, he forms the Masters, using past members and new recruits. The roster is:

The Green Goblin: Aswell as being one of Nefaria's cheif superhuman enforcers, Osbon helps control the legitimate enterprises of Nefaria's organization, under the alias of William Harrison. His homicidal tendencies and obsessive need to take revenge against the smallest insults has made him somewhat of a liability to the Masters.

Hippolyta: The leader of the Amazons of myth, Hypolita, and her all female gang, the Bacchae, have joined Nefaria's organization as a means of gaining more power. Aswell as being an enforcer for the Masters, Hippolyta is in charge of recruiting and training footsoldiers for Nefaria's organization. Nefaria has been careful to stress the fact that the Masters are equal partners, and Nefaria is only seen as the leader due to his skills at diplomacy, as to keep the strong willed Hippolyta and other members of the group from rebelling.

Tiger Shark: Serves primairily as an enforcer for the Masters.

Klaw: The team's cheif scientists.

Taskmaster: The team's go to guy for stealth assassinations. He also helps train new recruits as part of an elite squad for special missions.

The Abomination: Major powerhouse and enforcer for the Masters. Also serves as the group's source of knowlege relating to various government operations, both military and burocratic, all over the world.

The team Tony Stark would build appeared at the end of Civil War #4.

(Translation: Everyone at Marvel smokes crack.... Joe's)

 

[LadyMoira]

The team Tony Stark would build appeared at the end of Civil War #4.

Yeah, but frankly I don't think they're all that good a team or all that interesting. Heck, I even don't even recognize some of these villains. Right now, I almost think the Thunderbolts should just rename themselves the Masters of Evil. Baron Zemo...now there's a villainous mastermind!

 

[jaydawg]

See the problem with making the "ultimate" masters of evil is that every big time badass would want to be leader. Can you see Norman "I engineered the whole ****ing Clone Saga" Osborn taking orders from, say, Dr.Doom? Would the Abomination take kindly to being dismissed by the Count Nefaria?

So basically, you've got to have some really sweet leader, my suggestion being Red Skull, and a couple of B and C listers to fill out the rest.

 

[LadyMoira]

I see your reasoning though obviously, I'm more partial to Baron Zemo being top dawg and then filling it out with super-strong but not neccessarily all too bright fellow bad guys-or naturally cowardly, (though still sadistic) figures like the Purple. The problem with smart bad guys who have spines is they can never learn to share with the other evil masterminds. Tsk, tsk, ruins their plans for world domination everytime!

 

[Anubis]

Either you're gonna have infighting (With a truly powerful and capable group with big egos) or incompetence (with one decent leader and a bunch of screw ups.) when dealing with super villains. In the end, you just have to pick your poison.

 

[The Question]

I'd go with infighting. Especially since it is possible to overcome infighting, whereas you're kind of stuck with incompitence.

 

[LadyMoira]

Infighting is often more interesting than incompetance so I'd have to go with that as well. Seriously Doctor Doom and Norman Osborne arguing over who was the bigger baddie? That's entertainment!

 

[Anubis]

They're the bad guys. They're gonna lose in the end, theres no debating that. The question is simply how.
