It ’s never been a better time to evil . But there ’s one cardinal grosbeak rule to being a successful bad bozo and that ’s to make you are n’t evil . No one is going to affirm a radical list the Murder Society , but if you call yourselves the Action Society ? Then you ’re in stage business ! Here are 10 villains who take P.R. assist badly .
1 ) Legion of Doom , Super Friends
Founded by Lex Luthor and the other villains of the DC universe to stop the Justice League , the Legion of Doom presumptively take in their name for sounding badass . But the trouble is that the Legion is n’t really specifiying whose Doom they want . Obviously they want to Doom Superman , Batman and the other Hero for sure , but do they desire to Doom steady people ? It ’s undecipherable , but with members like Brainiac and Scarecrow , betting odds are yes . throw away themselves as the heroes is the consistent step : The Legion of Human Liberation . ( It ’s just that some members , like Gorilla Grodd , want to liberate humans from their pesky lives . )
2 ) Brotherhood of Evil Mutants , Marvel Comics
Magneto ’s first group of mutants had two problems : 1 ) they in a flash called themselves “ malevolent , ” and 2 ) come up on , a “ brotherhood ? When Scarlet Witch is 1/5th of the squad ? That will not vanish in today ’s gender - tender modern company , Mags . And it ’s heavy to pretend your cause is at all noble when you ’re hold yourself evil in your mission statement , and Magneto ’s supposed to believe he ’s doing the proper thing . So his group ’s raw name should be the Assembly for the Advancement of Homo Superior , being the proper name for mutants . We ’ll let the “ At the toll of the Lives of Homo Sapiens ” part remain unspoken .
3 ) Decepticons , transformer
descend on , guys . I do n’t know whether the Autobots and Decepticons are two different groups , nationalities or even coinage , but I do it the Autobots made the better name selection . “ Autobots ” is electroneutral at worst . “ Decepticons ” ? You might as well call yourselves “ Liar - con ” — actually , the “ con ” does n’t aid either — for one affair , as a noun , it also mean deception ( thus effectively making your name “ The Lying - liars ” ) but also , it ’s mostly used opposite of “ pro ” to list bad things are calibre ( which make you “ The Lyingbadthings , ” more or less ) . The Autobots are mostly ground vehicles , while the main Decepticons are mostly planes ; and there ’s no reason you ca n’t use the opposite word of bunko game — making you the Aeropros ! Now you sound like adventurous professionals , a major place up from lie evil robot .
4 ) The Empire , Star Wars
Hey , Emperor . Did you ever hear the saying it ’s easy to catch tent flap with dearest than with vinegar ? in all probability not , seeing as you credibly have outer space honey or some hokum . I venture that ’s why you make up one’s mind to use fear to keep the local star systems in line as opposed … uh , not using fear . How ’s that influence out for you ? Oh , there ’s an capable rebellion against you ? Well , that ’s going to bump any time you call your soldiers Stormtroopers like Nazis did . Call them “ troops . ” And the “ Death Star ” and those “ Star Destroyers ” of yours ? permit ’s attempt to remove all the death / destroy / hurt words to Christian Bible without hideous negative connotations . What ’s wrong with “ Star Cruisers ” or “ Imperial Space Station ? It ’s to the point and achromatic . Also , Emperor : If you ’re plan on subcontract out any more piece of work to the Sith , please either hire unity whose name do n’t include words that mean “ evil ” “ and botheration ” — or enquire them to alter their names before they start body of work . No one ’s going to give you any trouble if you hire a fop named Darth Puppy .
5 ) Masters of Evil , Marvel Comics
I ’ll forgive Baron Zemo , having not been a penis of a supervillain team before founding the Masters of Evil to take on the Avengers , for not learning the moral of his forbear . But obviously you have the same trouble as the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants , in that zep tend to give you a hard time if you ladder around laud yourself as “ evil ” all the time . But you ’re also going to get it from the supervillain community of interests who are n’t members — are you really the “ masters ” of evilness ? You guys are truly the best at being evil ? Doctor Doom might disagree . The best thing for you to do is to take all new identities and a new squad name , and pretend to be a chemical group of superheroes . Go out , fight crime for a while , lull everyone into thinking you ’re a crowd of unexampled good guys … what ? You did that ? And you called yourself the Thunderbolts ? Well , great , my piece of work here is done .
6 ) The Boltons , Game of Thrones
Unlike the other groups on this list , the Boltons do n’t need a name change , but they still need some P.R. assist if they want to predominate the northern lands of Westeros without armed uprising springing up every 20 moment . The first footfall ? Stop being homicidal psychos . die that , the second pace would be to ditch the Bolton house sigil of a flayed man . You know what citizenry do n’t wish ? Being find over by people who are so into flay citizenry active that they adjudicate to make it their mascot . Do you believe Disney would have been nearly as pop if Mickey Mouse had no skin ? No , me neither . So turn that blob of bolshy into anything else . Cherry Pie . The Kool - Aid Man . The lip from Rocky Horror Picture Show . Whatever . Oh , and do n’t attempt to cut corners and dissemble the image of a regular cat and set out call your symbols the “ Redskins . ” Even the flay man would be unspoilt than that .
7 ) Fuhrer - King Bradley , Fullmetal Alchemist
OH MY @$$%ING GOD ARE YOU KIDDING ME . YOU RULE THE COUNTRY OF AMESTRIS AND YOU CALL YOURSELF THE FUHRER - KING . CHRIST . YOU MIGHT AS WELL CALL YOURSELF “ WORLD ’S GREATEST HITLER . ” Just … just … just change your title of respect to “ king , ” make a public apologia , resign , and go live in a cabin for 20 long time or so . Then we ’ll let the cat out of the bag about your next PR stone’s throw .
- Voldemort , Harry Potter
First of all , Voldemort , sir , I do n’t think anything here is unfixable . for certain , your name think “ death - stealer ” in French , you look like an albino version of aGoomba from the dread 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie , and you have spent most of your time trying to kill fry and babies . But you still have your fans , and really , “ death - stealer ” is n’t even as much immorality as it is kind of awesome . Really , your best bet is to shift your look . We ’ll get you in a tanning booth , and schedule a visit with a plastic surgeon to get you a nozzle . Then we beak you out a wigging , get you into a nice courting instead of your tattered opprobrious wizard robes and I consider you ’re lucky . I entail , if you want to give yourself a first name , so that the press can commence calling to “ Steve Voldemort ” or something , that ’d be howling . But I cerebrate we can start with the fashion update and just go from there !
9 ) V.E.N.O.M. , MASK
Really . So your name is Miles Mayhem . You run an organisation key the Vicious Evil connection of Mayhem , which you have apparently carefully arrange to spell out the word “ venom ” and somehow you felt it was appropriate to call your connection both vicious and evil . Riiiiggghht . Okay , well . First step : block being a @#$%ing half-wit . Second step : Your newfangled team name ’s acronym is F.L.O.W.E.R. Get back to me when you reckon out what you need it to stand for . Also , the ruined team name must not contain any of the play along words : “ Foul , ” “ Loathsome , ” “ Obscene , ” “ Wicked , ” “ Evil ” or “ Repulsive . ” beget it ?
10 ) Injustice Gang , DC Comics
Really ? Let me tell you what I think of when I hear the words “ Injustice Gang . ” A group of mass too young and unorganised to form a legion , and multitude too lame to even commit to evil . Seriously , who crusade for injustice ? Are you trying to make our legal system shittier ? Because it ’s not great as is . The “ Injustice Gang ” does n’t even fathom immorality ; it ’s sounds like you ’re a bunch of fumbling assholes . Do you want to hump whatWikipediasays about your feat in 1997 ? “ Unfortunately , no charge could be pressed due to the Gang having caused no real harm , forcing the League to allow them all to go detached . ” You guys are too terrible to even get arrest . No amount of P.R. in the world can manage imbecility of that magnitude .
