Collections15. Trevor Slattery ("The Mandarin")
Posted : 2 years, 6 months ago on 26 May 2022 09:47
(A review of Trevor Slattery)Though claiming to be just a drunk and desperate actor taking a gig, thespian Trevor Slattery was responsible for portraying Aldrich Killian's whitewashed version of The Mandarin on TV. Striking fear in the hearts of American citizens, and causing Tony Stark to look directly into a news camera and challenge him to a fight to the finish, Slattery's performance was effortlessly chilling. The last time this problematic performer was seen, he was being busted out of prison by the REAL Mandarin...who wanted to have some words.

16. Alexander Pierce
Posted : 2 years, 6 months ago on 26 May 2022 09:46
(A review of Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford))HYDRA's top undercover agent Secretary Alexander Pierce hid in plain sight as a high-ranking official in SHIELD and member of the World Security Council. Under his rule, with the virtual brain of Arnim Zola still kicking, HYDRA almost conquered the United States via massive Helicarriers powered by the Insight algorithm - which was designed to proactively eliminate potential "threats" to a HYDRA-run U.S. The Red Skull may have been blasted into space decades previous, but his spirit lived on inside of Secretary Pierce.

17. Obadiah Stane (Iron Monger)
Posted : 2 years, 6 months ago on 26 May 2022 09:44
(A review of Iron Monger/Obadiah Stane)In the wake of Howard Stark's death, business partner Obadiah Stane took over as Stark Industries CEO until Tony was ready to inherit the mantle. Stane, though a father figure of sorts to Tony, was never happy with Tony's rule and objected even more so when Tony returned from being held captive by terrorists and announced that the company was no longer going to manufacture weapons. Stane, for years, had been double-dealing and supplying terror cells with arms and in his attempt to kill Tony and reclaim the company, he donned the Iron Monger suit and went to war with his former protégé.

18. Ulysses Klaue (Klaw)
Posted : 2 years, 6 months ago on 26 May 2022 09:42
(A review of Ulysses Klaue)Ruthless arms dealer and perennial pain in Wakanda's ass Ulysses Klaue was the only person to ever successfully smuggle vibranium out of the clandestine African nation. And while the searing brand the Wakandans gave him on his neck marked him forever as a crook, it's Ultron who would scar Klaue in a major way when the rogue A.I. sliced off his arm. Klaue would replace his limb with a cybernetic sonic canon and continue to work as the world's foremost vibranium thief... until he was double-crossed and killed by T'Challa's cousin, Erik Killmonger.

19. The Grandmaster
Posted : 2 years, 6 months ago on 26 May 2022 09:40
(A review of Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum))As Asgard fell under the rule of Odin's daughter Hela, Thor and Loki found themselves stuck on the (literal) trash planet of Sakaar, where a hedonistic Cosmic Elder known as The Grandmaster pitted captured warriors against each other in a gladiator-style spectacle called the Contest of Champions. Playful, narcissistic, and lethal, The Grandmaster would lose his stranglehold on Sakaar after an uprising spurred by Thor's escape.

20. Aldrich Killian
Posted : 2 years, 6 months ago on 26 May 2022 09:38
(A review of Aldrich Killian)Tony Stark's dark reflection, a scientist who the billionaire playboy had shunned years earlier, Aldrich Killian created a fake terrorist leader, The Mandarin, to take credit for accidental explosions caused by A.I.M.'s Extremis-enhanced soldiers going "pop!" In his plot to control and manufacture America's war on terror, which he conceived alongside Vice President Rodriguez, Killian also sought to ruin Tony's life, reputation, and relationship with Pepper. Somewhere out there, however, the [Link removed - login to see] still exists in the shadows.

22. Ronan the Accuser
Posted : 2 years, 6 months ago on 26 May 2022 09:35
(A review of Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace))Killjoy Kree extremist, and brief partner in crime to Thanos, Ronan the Accuser sought to end all life on Xandar after the Kree Empire made a peace pact with them. Fitting really, considering that this genocidal warlord once sought to wipe all Skrulls from existence, and would have succeeded had it not been for Captain Marvel. Anyhow, years later, Ronan would find himself smashed to atoms at the joined hands of the Guardians of the Galaxy as they channeled the might of the Power Stone.

24. Justin Hammer
Posted : 2 years, 6 months ago on 26 May 2022 09:27
(A review of Justin Hammer)In Iron Man 2, Tony Stark not only had to face down Ivan Vanko, who blamed Tony's father for his own family's disgrace, but also smarmy business rival and shoddy-arms manufacturer Justin Hammer, who secretly plotted with Vanko to replicate Stark's Arc Reactor technology. An insecure schemer right up to the end, Hammer was arrested when Vanko went rogue and almost killed hundreds of people at the Stark Expo using Hammer Drones.

25. Brock Rumlow (Crossbones)
Posted : 2 years, 6 months ago on 26 May 2022 09:25
(A review of Crossbones / Brock Rumlow)As a SHIELD strike team leader who was also a secret HYDRA agent, Brock Rumlow was an integral cog in Alexander Pierce's plans to launch Project Insight and plunge America into tyranny. After surviving the partial collapse of the Triskelion, Rumlow became a masked and armored mercenary for hire. A front lines threat in any scenario, Rumlow is a top-tier thug and his actions in Nigeria, which some still think may have been orchestrated by Helmut Zemo, brought about the Sokovia Accords after Wanda Maximoff accidentally killed innocent civilians.

66. Gollum / Sméagol
Posted : 2 years, 6 months ago on 26 May 2022 09:06
(A review of Gollum)Appearance: [Link removed - login to see] trilogy (2001-2003) and [Link removed - login to see] (2012)
Creator: J. R. R. Tolkien
Performer: Andy Serkis
Defining moment: Sméagol debating the merits of treachery with his other half in The Two Towers - a scene cunningly orchestrated between the 'innocent' and 'conniving' sides of his inner schism.
Fascinating fact: Gollum's underpants are made of goblin skin. Elasticated, breathable, fresh stench of rot...
