Marine Marauder II
(Marlene Simmonds)
Obscure maritime DC Comics villainess. Fought the Outsiders, and the Flash.
Not a headliner, but quite workable for ocean-based stories.
Monster god of fire and iron
A strange Medieval German giant mecha, built by Doctor Doom in curious circumstances. Fought Captain America in 1944.
Most Powerful Android
(Mad Thinker) (Part #1)
A potent creation of the Mad Thinker, designed to solo the Fantastic Four.
He's tough, and he went on to have a strange history.
Nekron
(The alien one)
A somewhat obscure, powerful 1970s enemy of the Justice League of America.
Otherdimensional alien feeding off fear.
Mmm, this image is very tall. I prolly should add some text here so it doesn't feel weirdly empty, especially for people not familiar with the site. So how are y'all doing. I'm doing good. I have some delicious flan left to eat, and...
Titano
(Giant crab)
This titanic crab appeared in a 1959 proto-Marvel Comics story, in Tales to Astonish. Giant monsters were hip in the 1950s, daddy-o.
There's also notes about the BODY score of giant monsters, somehow.
As of May of 2020, we've added Mutants & Masterminds stats to this profile. Having two sets of stats is important, as it allows for a pincer movement...
Black Scorpion
(1957 movie monster)
Our contributor Ethan continues his 1950s movie giant monster series.
This time it's the giant Mexican scorpions in 1957 monster mash The Black Scorpion. As animated by Ray Harryhausen.
Great White Ape
Benign King Kong types on Dinosaur Island.
As of September of 2019, added chest-beating, dinosaurs-fighting Mutants & Masterminds stats.
A few hours later, found out that a digital reissue exists. Sigh. So now the peekchurs are in HD.
Indestructible Man
(Damon Dran)
Formerly the Indestructible Man, a James Bond-style mastermind with many henchmen.
As of July of 2018, this profile was overhauled, updated, and received HD illustrations plus impenetrable M&M stats.
“Townhouse that walks”
Let's add to our series of mini-profiles for goofy characters from 1970s/1980s Hostess Cakes advertisement in super-hero comics.
Inheritor from Beyond
A super-cockroach who's evil and fights the Hulk to a standstill, as you do.
As of April of 2018, this entry had its illustrations overhauled and received M&M stats reinforced with radioactive chitin.
Doctor Pendergast
A sinister fanatic who is also a researcher in psionics. He was the guy behind Supergirl character Psi, back during the 1980s.
As of March of 2018, this profile was overhauled and received creepily manipulative M&M stats.
Megatron
(1980s Marvel Comics version)
Perhaps the greatest villain known to Generation Y... well, at least back when they were very young and if they were watching lots of telly. And until they saw Darth Vader, I guess. Oh, well. You know.
This is the eeeviiill Transformer boss, as he appeared in the "G1" 1980s comics published by Marvel. Back then he still turned into...
Marhault Ogre
A sort of giant faerie killer gorilla. It's a thing. This creature was seen in the landmark indie Mage: The Hero Discovered comic books.
“Four elemental destroyers”
Four elemental monsters who once fought the Thing, Spider-Woman and Modred the Mystic at Stonehenge. They seemed like handy chaps to have game stats for.
Wyvern Stormblud
A superhuman strongman Barb Wire clashed with in 2015. Alcoholic, possibly brain-damaged, thinks he's a mix of Thor and Mel Gibson in Braveheart. One dangerous train wreck of a man.
Gargantus II
He's a giant hypnotic caveman robot, as was the style of the day.
He's also the first-superpowered foe Iron Man fought.
Doomsday Man
(Profile #1 - Early)
An indestructible, very powerful robot master weapon judged too dangerous to exist. Clashed with the Silver Surfer and with Ms. Marvel (and others, but that'll be in a later profile because the character changed).
Man Who Quit The Human Race
(Andrew Warner)
One of those weird sci-fi Batman enemies from the 1960s. A super-advanced giant mutant with all sorts of strange powers, old chum.
Org and the giant spiders
A notable foe of Fantomah, with hypnotic drum beats and a small army of elephant-sized spiders.
Jungle Demon
A fiendish foe of Fantomah armed with the evil eye and a titanic pet snake. But it wasn't his fault, not really - not that Fantomah really cares.
“It” the giant octopus
The giant radioactive octopus in 1955 monster movie It Came From Beneath The Sea.
Gomdulla the living pharaoh
A giant alien mummy. I mean, what else ?
1960 proto-Marvel giant monster, who later returned to the Marvel Universe.
Lesser Cyclops
The lesser cyclopses of Greek Myth, and their appearances in early Marvel Comics (late 1950s, 1960s).
