[QUOTE="DrunkonDuty, post: 8810414, member: 54364"] Good list! Ultron! I should have remembered Ultron. I'm aware of but have never actually read any of the stories in which Scarlet Witch turns villainous, so I forgot about her too. I really think of Loki as a Thor rogue. Yes, I know he caused the formation of the Avengers and has occasionally been back to bother them. Zemo did lead the, what'd they call themselves, Masters of Evil? And was arguably the most successful incarnation of that bunch IIRC. But I think of him as a Cap villain. I don't consider either of them Avengers villains. I think the issue is that groups (Avengers, Superfriends) that are made up of characters that have their own books tend to borrow villains from those individuals' books. So I think of the villains as belonging to the individual rather than the group.* Whereas, groups like the X-men, pretty much always operate together and very few of them have their own books. (There is that very notable short, hairy exception.) So, for me, the X-men mostly have their own villains, even if they are tied more closely to one or other of the character's back stories; such as Sinister for Cyclops, Sabretooth for Wolverine, Juggernaut for Xavier. Silly philosophising aside, also a good list of X-villains. Does Sinister get a lot of air-time anymore? * A rare example of me favouring individual ownership over collective ownership of important resources. [/QUOTE]
