Queen Femina Suarestellar Baroux

The space misandrist enemy of Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah, by golly ! Who was a goofy, not-highbrow parody of Filipina national super-heroine Darna. This entry previously had to be altered due to US online advertising standards. So we restored it, and did its hair while we were at it. If there are problems again I'll just ditch the ads, as happens increasingly...

(Part #1 - 1960s/70s)

A great space menace from another universe. And one of Marvel Comics' notable villains. As of March of 2020, this entry has been entirely redone. It now covers but the 1960s and 1970s, since even just that is a lot of info.

Doomsday Man

(Part #3)

The last third for our profile of the Doomsday Man and Kerwin Korman, who form an Avengers-class Marvel Comics villain. With links to the two previous bits, of course. He's obscure, but he's powerful. And he has an interesting history that is intertwined with Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers)’s and has quite a few hooks.

Admiral Galen-Kor

This Kree hardliner and senior officer clashed with the Avengers during the 1990s. He's not the most memorable Avengers enemy, but if your stories make use of the Kree (or Marvel space stuff in general) he's useful.

As of December of 2017, this article was split into two. Because it was a bit too long, and because there's LOTS OF STUFF in it.
