Earth Mightiest's Foes... — Description

WARNING: We apologize for the lack of activity these last times, it's just that we don't know what we should focus on... also, no refunds.

Yo guys, now that I've pretty much said what needs to be said about the main mutants series, I guess... Maybe I'll eventually talk Bishop's solos, he's cool. Or Maverick cus he's neat... Or Excalibur, if I ever went insane or found the proper type of smack to get hooked on.
For the time being, let's switch to that other big team in Marvel Comics that pretty much crashed and burnt right after the dude who writes Green Lantern (and Hal Jordan with his boner) left.
As I previously pointed out, I would deal with Avengers in a "distinct" way. You see, some of the initial member ALREADY have their own series and I run after a select few takes. Mostly. Maybe. But since I have a boner for super-villains, I've decided to start there !
And by there, it will include Thunderbolts foes because shut up, THAT book is pretty the X-Force to the Avengers' X-men, a fitting parallel... Except that the "In Name Only" follow-up by John Arcudi was actually awesome while the mutants got the unreadable pile of shit that was X-Statix (If I want something about Reality TV, I'll re-watch Duck Dodgers' final episode, thank you very much...).
I will go from the newest to the oldest of these 10 fine fellows ! OF course people will bitch and moan about my choices. But fuck that, I'm the boss 'round here son !
My condition is simple: the candidates must have given the Avengers, Thunderbolts or their affiliates a run for their money... so pretty much what I did for the mutants' antagonists. And by mutants, I mean the 90's has-beens that were heroic and fighting against and not the pretentious cunts that made some pretentious nerds jizz in their pants because AWSO2DEEP4U OR the current sex-cult segregationists (OH we will get to THAT can of mongoworms !). Additionally, the ONLY "X-men VS Avengers" that even has a reason to fucking exist should be about these 2 !
Plus who knows, my ego realized that since I have the means to go digital and that mere smut fanart has a 1000 times the best quality I can reach, I need to evolve (including revisiting some old stuff...) or croak. The most perceptive of Avengers afficionados may have already guessed who are my favorite Avengers (clue: it's back when that title fucking meant something !). Let's a go !

PROCTOR
Theme Song: Ditto (Guilty Gear Korean OST)
The final boss of my second favorite Avengers run. Now I don't want to spoil the whole deal about him but I'd say he would have made a more than fitting Exiles villain down the line and had that series not suffered from Bendis' dumbass lust for Mags' rotting decaying cock. Voice-wise, he should sound rather calm and metallic as in trying to mask his natural vocalization.

KORVAC
Theme Song: Oxide Station (Crash Team Racing OST)
You should totally read this arc, it's got the Porcupine!
This is basically what happens when failure and sheer dumb luck result in cosmic abomination... who gives Thor and the 31t century GOTG hell ! And it is even better in the cartoon. Speaking of which, the EMH cartoon gave us the best guardians on screen to team-up with the Avengers and fight Korvac's cosmic brokenness. Great episode, great Troy Baker performance, great series, so of course they cancel it...

BARON HELMUT ZEMO
Theme Song: Propaganda (JJBA: Battle Tendency OST)
I know most of you are surprised to see him maskless and with a face that does not look like cooked strips of bacon, BUT you know me, I either play surgeon with various designs of the same character OR pick one that made sweet love to my tastes. And the way Zemo is here is the result of shenanigans involving penetrating the body of an alternate version of himself (FUCK I LOVE the counter-earth arc in Thunderbolts ! It's the kind of insanity that makes me love Nicieza's stories and ONE of the reasons I like the Onslaught saga even with its flaws!).
The voice of our dear baron ? Robin Atkin Downes. Though it's interesting that they mixed Heinrich and Helmut there...

ULTRON
Theme Song: Niveneh (E.S. Posthumus)
Basically Dr Hank Pym's biggest error and masterpiece. I obviously went for our robotic boy's "Annihilation Conquest" design because... seriously, LOOK AT IT ! This fucking thing SCREAMS final Boss ! It YELLS Badass ! And as such, the voice of Machinedramon would suit him. Though, Ultron goes through several shapes. That does guarantee his versatility even if he utterly despise flesh-bags.

THE SUPREME INTELLIGENCE
Theme Song: Brave New World (Iron Maiden)
Now, while the Krees are just as big assholes as the skrulls are, I feel that Jabba the Head here deserves the douche crown of his species for having orchestrated the events of "Operation galactic storm". Founded from the incorporation of the disembodied brains of the greatest statesmen and philosophers in Kree history, it comes up with invariably shitty ideas. Proving that they are a bunch of shitheads... making the few likeable ones exceptions to the rule.

THE DREAD DORMAMMU
Theme Song: And The Heavens Shall Tremble (Diablo III OST)
My favorite Dr Strange villain AND character ladies and gentlemen ! A fellow yours truly relates to in some capacity even if I lack the capacity to absorb dimensions and have their inhabitants worship me for MORE POWAH ! Our good dread one has indeed confronted the Earth Mightiest Heroes and would've succeeded in his conquest hadn't it been for that sexy witch and her mischief-producing powers ! Seriously kids, always handle your occult hazardous items with care. A little art nitpick ?n Never draw his face as a skull, it has to be a face with features immolated with mystical flames.
Whether it is the serious Dormammu of the Classic Dr Strange era (from Stern to Quinn...) or the comedic frustrated faltine of Giffen and DeMatteis, I am always game for a story with him. He even appeared in a cowardly movie where he should've been played by Mads Mikkelsen... but ethnic quotas and creative laziness said otherwise.
Did I mention that Michael T.Weiss KILLED it while voicing him ?

KANG THE CONQUEROR
Theme: Dawn Of Destiny (JJBA-ASB OST)
This guy... Nathaniel Richards became fucking awesome once Marvel decided "hey, let's NOT job Kang to prop up Dr Doom and, you know, PROPERLY FUCKING USE HIM ! That'd be a novel idea".
Kang is easily my favorite Avengers antagonist. Not only did he ruin the life of my favorite X-men antagonist (why the fuck don't we get a storyline involving these 2 clashing is anyone's guess but I have my suspicions) BUT he also pulls a whole titan of a scheme JUST TO NOT BECOME IMMORTUS ! And once he's been freed from THAT eventual fate, he kicks off the Kang's Dynasty plan. The man THIRSTS for adventure and challenge moreso than power for power's sake. And if not for genocide, slaughters and senseless loss of human lives, wouldn't that be a motive anyone can admire ?
Also, kudos to Jonathan Adams, that is nailing it !

THE MANDARIN
Theme: Iron Head (Rob Zombie)
What ? You think it's out of favoritism ?! PFAH ! You don't know him ! He's fought the Avengers thrice ! Hell the last time, he was not even that interested in them and still stalled them just to have a calm conversation with Tony. And much to my surprise, there IS a Mandarin in EMH...well...the comic adaptation that is. It is a decent issue for sure BUT, I feel that the writers (had the show not been cancelled !) could have gone for a whole season-long arc with him. Either re-adapting the "Dragon Seed Saga"-"Hands of The Mandarin" (leaving the violence intact) OR fusing the best elements from "Haunted" and "The Future". Those giant squid robots spreading the Extremis treatment ? That's a nightmare more than worth the Avengers' while ! As for his ideal voice, well the way James Sie plays him in the MUA game is a perfect fit, a mix of Jafar and Dr Orpheus. And that theatrality is part of why he's so enjoyable !

LOKI
Theme Song: Insane Aristocracy (Castlevania-Curse Of Darkness)
OK, levelling with you guys and gals, I am talking about the Loki of old. The one they based the first Thor movie portrayal on, the one fought on MUA or EMH, the one who out of pettiness caused the Acts Of Vengeance scheme and who later ended up beheaded still-living and hung on Thor's belt because his bro's fucking hardcore when pissed-off and fucking Ragnarok's happening ! Couldn't care less about the shitty Thor sequels' or that whole Dark Reign Cabal horseshit... NO, not everyone loves that Loki. In fact Thanos euthanised a dead joke by that time.
Also, yeah, I'd go with Larry Cedar as the voice, I dig the accent...

THE RED SKULL
Theme Song: Werewolf Women Of The SS (Rob Zombie)
Was there any doubt ? After all he is the antagonist of the very last Avengers arc yours truly gives a fuck about after all. The dude is a huge part of the Gruenwald's Cap run (that I love very much) and the best thing about the Brubaker's Cap run (that I don't like much...) ... yeah I need to talk about Cap one of these days since I've the picture ready but I gotta work on the text...
And I'll give the crown to Steve Blum. That's how Gru's Johann should sound like !

I hope you enjoyed these ! See ya later my dear audience !
