User blog:ARTaylor/October 2016 Poll Results

November is here, October is over, and another poll has come and gone. Last month we asked which villain would be the worst to encounter.


 * 1) It ended up being a three-way tie between the winners, each getting 25% of the votes. The winners were Carnage, Green Goblin, and Purple Man. Each are dangerous in their own way. Carnage is the combination of psychotic murder Cletus Kasady and a powerful symbiote who becomes an even more dangerous supervillain. In the realm of villains, Carnage is relatively new but what he has been a part of has been quite memorable. Green Goblin is an incredibly dangerous and intelligent who pursues personal vendettas against all who cross him. He is one of the oldest and most notorious arch-rivals in villainy having appeared in virtually every adaptation featuring Spider-Man. Purple Man can force anyone to do his bidding by a simple command. He has been relatively low profile over the years but gained high prominence by appearing as the main villain of the first season of Jessica Jones.
 * 2) Second place was also a tie with 12.5% each going to Apocalypse and Red Skull. Apocalypse has seemingly unlimited power and is virtually immortal. He has made prominent appearances in the animated series and was the main focus of this year's trilogy concluding X-Men: Apocalypse. Red Skull is one of the oldest villains in Marvel Comics and is constantly coming back. He has appeared alongside Captain America in almost every version and was the primary antagonist of Captain America: The First Avenger.
 * 3) Getting no votes were Abomination, Doctor Doom, Surtur, Mister Sinister, and Sabretooth. Abomination and Sabretooth are both major physical threats and a danger event o Hulk and Wolverine. Doctor Doom is a bit of a surprise given that his technical proficiency and high intelligence makes him one of Marvel's biggest threats. The first demon Surtur is perhaps the most powerful villain on this list, though he has had little exposure outside the comics. Mister Sinister is one of the creepiest looking villains in the comics and is also virtually immortal, even though he is usually a behind-the-scenes villain.
