Total: Abilities: 68 / Skills: 30--15 / Advantages: 10 / Powers: 3 / Defenses: 11 (107)

-El Toro Negro was probably set up to die- created for The Great Game, he just runs around doing stuff in various books, getting easily beaten (one time, Phil "Green Goblin" Urich and the Scarlet Spider double-teamed him). He then decides to kill all of the other Gamers, and so comes upon Polestar fighting Nightwatch, helps the villain kill his foe... and then shoots Polestar in the face! He then attacks the Rocket Racer & The Prowler, crippling the latter! He subsequently reveals that he's working for a pair of the Game's sponsors to allow them to wipe out their rivals- this was revealed to all the other Game's sponsors, who ended it. However, he was webbed-up, and delivered by the mercenary Chance to Justin Hammer, who was revealed to be the REAL man behind the Games- Toro pointed out that he'd falsely fingered the other two as the wrongdoers and that Hammer was "clean". He did it all for the boosting of his strength, and the removal of his weaknesses, but Hammer declared that Toro's weakness was his brain, and simply had his agent executed by a chainsaw to the head anyways.

-This is quite particular. Most of the bios I'd read had described the guy as simply some goon who was involved in one story and then died, but El Toro Negro was actually all over the place being quite the pest. He was also more capable than I thought- no match for a major hero, but PL 8s like Rocket Racer & Prowler could be in trouble. His durability is evidently lower than his Strength, as he was killed by pretty mundane means for a Powerhouse. Otherwise, he was a Mercenary Build on top of a low-tier Powerhouse. And used a whip.

Well, Stan Lee did create a superhero stripper once..

Also, I just noticed that Megawatt (who was mentioned in Jonas Harrow's bio) doesn't seem to have been statted so that's another un-statted Spiderman villain.

Complications:
Motivation (Thrills)- Janice is flat-out nuts, and enjoys combat for it's own sake. If her life isn't in danger, she really doesn't feel it. She's a hedonist, plain and simple. This often leads her to severe acts of pride or foolishness.
Obsession (Always Having a Card)- Janice learned this lesson from her deadbeat gambler father, and she took it to heart. She will not allow others to hold things over her, and she always looks out for number one.

Total: Abilities: 78 / Skills: 24--12 / Advantages: 16 / Powers: 29 / Defenses: 11 (146)

-Joystick is an interesting '90s villain, created mainly to brawl with the Ben Reilly Spider-Man during The Great Game story arc, having equivalent physical stats to Spidey in nearly every way, in addition to Energy Batons as a melee & blasting weapon. She eventually turned on the Game's organizers and started teaming with Reilly- once the Reilly experiment was dead and buried, she got shifted to Bagley's new book, Thunderbolts, and was there for a while before having a falling-out. She was in the updated T-Bolts series as well, and seemed to gain powers over time, but is still a pretty minor D-League villain. Honestly, though, having collected some of the pre-Osborn run of that book, I started loving the crap out of this girl. A complete and utter hedonist, she had a crappy childhood, but reacted by becoming a thrill-seeking vigilante, and her bad girl antics are really entertaining on any book she's on. There's a lot of "Slut" villains out there for many reasons, but few are this funny with their blatant selfishness.

-This is an odd character to stat up, as she fights like a minor-league Spider-Man, possessing most of his Strength, Speed & Agility, alongside her Batons (which are either Thrown Damage or a Blast, in addition to a melee weapon). She's a defense-oriented build, but only at PL 9, and she's quite well-balanced. She tends to do better or worse at complete random, though, making her tough to really "figure out" Power Level-wise. One second, she's getting the LIVING CRAP beaten out of her by Spider-Woman- Joystick never went down, taking a metric ton of punches, but Jessica Drew was never even in the most remote bit of damage- and she's really only worthy of being PL 10), and the next she's neutering Speed Demon, himself a very effective PL 10 Speedster on Quicksilver's level, by stopping all his best shots and then breaking his legs. I think PL 9.5 works best- she can modify almost all of her caps very effectively, hitting hard when she needs to, and she's REALLY hard to hit. She just has a few more steps to go before she's a full-on PL 10.

-Note that her Energy Batons used to be a Device, but now exist as a natural part of her body.

Persuader

Initiative +2

Defenses:
Dodge +2 (DC 12), Parry +2 (DC 12), Toughness +2, Fortitude +2, Will +3

Complications:
Responsibility (Mind-Controlled)- Persuader was just a Wall Street executive before being brainwashed into becoming a super-villain. So he was just standard-issue evil, not "wear tights and kill people" evil.

Total: Abilities: 36 / Skills: 8--4 / Advantages: 0 / Powers: 32 / Defenses: 0 (72)

-Persuader started off as a man with a Mutant Power he'd never known about- he had the ability to "persuade" people to do what he wanted. Figuring he was just REALLY good at talking to people, he became a successful Wall Street guy, until he was forcibly-recruited by the Kingpin, and brainwashed into becoming an agent. He "persuaded" the Punisher to kill a pair of gang leaders that were infringing upon the Kingpin's territory, but Spider-Man got involved. Spidey was soon injured and at the Punisher's mercy... but Persuader's command that Frank murder the hero in cold blood allowed him to break free of the control- he refused. Turns out that Persuader's powers had a limit after all. And of course the Punisher murdered Persuader instead. Which is actually kind of a downer ending, considering he was never really THAT evil in the first place! I mean, he was just an ordinary Wall Street exe... actually, never mind. Happy ending!

-Persuader's powers work pretty well under normal circumstances, but have their limits- the Punisher would have killed the Lobo Brothers ANYWAYS, so Persuader's abilities just made him want to kill them MORE. When asked to execute Spider-Man, however, Castle was able to resist.

Complications:
Motivation (Greed)- The Lobos consistently form cartels and attempt takeovers in Mexico and the Southern U.S.
Weakness (Silver Bullets)- Silver weapons can easily kill werewolves- their toughness is drastically lowered against such weapons.
Normal Identity- The Lobos are ST 3, STA 4, AGI 3, FIGHTING 8 in their base forms.

Total: Abilities: 84 / Skills: 32--16 / Advantages: 13 / Powers: 16 / Defenses: 7 (136)

-Getting in on a bit of the "Scary Clawed Mutants With Animalistic Natures" craze, albeit a tad early, were the Lobo Brothers, a duo of werewolf mutants that Gerry Conway introduced into his Spectacular run- they appeared in numerous books over the next couple of years, but basically vanished after that. Eduardo discovered his powers while being attacked by his girlfriend's brother and his gang- he slaughtered them all- even his lady (much to his horror)! Since Carlos had the same powers, the two formed a gang that started ruling much of Mexico. The Punisher & Spider-Man got involved (Frank was being set against them by The Persuader, another recent build), but they survived and began to war on the Kingpin, who'd ordered the hit in the first place. Eduardo hooks up with the Daily Bugle's Glory Grant in order to get at some files on Wilson Fisk, but she kills him using the Arranger's gun and silver bullets. Glory states that she was aiming for his enemy- Spider-Man- and missed.

-Years later (and I mean this only happened a couple years ago), Carlos returns with a never-before-seen sister named Esmeralda, forming a new cartel. They go up against Kaine, the Scarlet Spider, and manage to kill him a couple of times (!!), but he keeps resurrecting (since he's The Other now), and manages to maim Carlos, who is then killed by one of their backers.

The Crime Master

Post by Jabroniville »

Image
Image

THE CRIME MASTER
Role:
Forgettable Would-Be "Master Villains"

-The Crime Master is one of the low-end Lee/Ditko threats- he was the partner of the Green Goblin, and the two knew each other's secret identities, which kept them even with each other. However, the Crime Master was killed by the police after he tried to unite all the non-Maggia gangs in New York, and revealed to be Nicholas "Lucky" Lewis. The second, Nick Junior, was in Marvel Team-Up and was quickly defeated, but survived. The third was part of the Flash Thompson Venom series, and was eventually revealed to be Bennett Brant, the brother of Betty, Flash's sometime-girlfriend. Betty eventually shoots and kills her brother after he forms a "Savage Six" out of himself, Jack O'Lantern, Toxin (Eddie Brock), Human Fly, Death Adder & Megatak. She justifies this to Flash, saying "My brother died a long time ago".

-Subsequent other Crime Masters have shown up, each one meaning less than the previous. One was just a Maggia operative who bought the identity from the Hobgoblin (who was farming out Jobber Villain costumes to various criminals, gaining a "Finder's Fee" in the process. Another fights Deadpool in Mercs For Money, and we see one join the Kingpin's organization but get killed by an enemy.

-Basically, the Crime Master can be anywhere from a Mook with some prestige to a criminal mastermind- none are good fighters, and all are easily-hit by bullets.

-Queen is a modern character from the Spidey books- she was the first female marine in combat during World War II (apparently there WERE women in the Corps by that point, but I'm unsure how many ever actually saw combat), but was subjected to radiation on Bikini Atoll so that the government could make more Captain Americas- she was the only survivor, and still carried a ton of mental problems that resulted in her being left in a military asylum. Eventually, she shifted into an Insect/Human Hybrid that was able to take over several New Yorkers with "insect genes" (??), which brought her into conflict with Spider-Man. She uses her powers to mutate Spidey on different occasions, always so that he would hump her and make arthropod babies- this is the means by which he temporarily gained his "Organic Webbing" and other powers that were soon written out.

-She returned in the Spider Island story, changing Pete again, as well as threatening all of New York. Finally, after a protracted battle that involves all of the Avengers, she is killed by Kaine, who broke out of her thrall.

-Queen is the classic kind of annoying "Mind Control Over Wide Areas" sort of character, albeit she could only affect those with "atavistic" genes related to insects (bios only mention insects, despite people like Peter Parker clearly having SPIDER-Genes instead). She's also super-strong, has a nasty Sonic Scream (enough to basically stun Spider-Man and make his ears bleed- more of an "Internal Damage" kind of thing), and is a pretty good fighter. But her army of thralls is the REAL threat- apparently "Insect Genes" applies to 1/3rd of all humanity.

Re: Jab's Builds! (Hypno-Hustler! Stromm! Jackpot! Joystick!)

Post by Jabroniville »

Man, I keep finding names. I was all like "No, I'm done" and then found a few guys like Finisher, Stromm & The Gentleman. Then Kyroko mentions three more names, and I realize that The Mud-Thing, upon researching him, is just two Spidey villains combined, and thus counts. Then I start adding some newbies to my "Master PL List" and realize I forgot to include random characters like Queen, Los Hermanos de la Luna, and some others. I re-posted Joystick (who I guess I'd already re-posted here on Echoes) to complete the "Great Games" set. Plus I figured I'd make a mini-description for The Crime Master, who I'd always avoided because he barely even feels like a real CHARACTER.

So this is all like 2-3 days longer than I'd anticipated, and now no longer includes simple re-posting of guys (which still takes longer than you'd think, given that I have to do research and check for changes).

-Yes, there's really a Lizard Wannabe called The Iguana. This is classic "Filler" stuff from the 1970s- an era notorious for basically producing the same story month-to-month (especially when people were behind on deadlines and they had to put in a "filler" issue). He is created when Dr. Curt Connors imbues an ordinary iguana with his own life force, and that of his alter-ego, The Lizard. Naturally the iguana grows all huge, semi-intelligent, and evil. He fights Connors, and attempts to abduct his family as "insurance", drawing Spider-Man into the fray. Connors soon transforms into The Lizard to protect his family, but both reptilians are possessed of the same hatred for SPIDEY, and thanks to that Old Parker Luck, they turn their attacks on HIM.

-The Iguana is turned back after a fight with Spider-Man (using the same device which Connors used to create the creature- he siphons Lizardiness from Connors and throws it into The Iguana, which creates an overload after briefly making him more powerful- he explodes, but an iguana is seen shrinking away), but reappears out of nowhere more than thirty years (!!) later, losing to Spidey while he's trying to talk to Aunt May & Anna Maria on the phone. He's basically Lizard-Lite in all respects, which is pretty sad considering that Stegron is ALSO Lizard-Lite, but is better than Iguana at it.

-Videoman sounds like a Mega Man villain, but is actually from Spider-man and his Amazing Friends- the '80s cartoon that featured Spidey hanging out with Iceman & Firestar. He was created by Electro, but eventually turned into a superhero. It would be 2006 when he'd appear in a comic- here, he's a video game character that came to life. He was stopped by Spidey & Iceman, but returned because they left the computer processor that activated him online. Firestar was then able to destabilize his form, and Iceman shattered his processor unit, ending his threat. He's part 2-D Construct, part Blaster.
