Need Help: Looking for Online Pics of Lower-Tier Marvel Villains

AFGNCAAP

First Post
I was wondering if I could get a bit of help/info/links on this. I've done a fair mount of online research, but I haven't had any luck so far.

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find some good online pics (preferably full-body/all costume, & not just headshots) of some lower-tier Marvel villains. Guys like Shocker, Constrictor, The Ghost, Black Racer and other individual members of from the Serpent Society, Blackout, Man-Killer and other former/newer members of the Masters of Evil, etc.

On a related note, how about different costume designs for some of the more major villains (like Doc Ock, Dr. Doom, Green Goblin, Magneto, etc.)? A good dispaly/variety of them (like ones from the main line, as well as What If? versions, alternate reality versions, etc.) would be great.

The main reason why is that I run a Marvel SAGA campaign where I use a fair number of these lesser-known villains (in addition to some new creations of my own, as well as guest appearances by a few major baddies like Doom, Ultron, Magneto, etc.). The game's based in South/Central Texas (home for me), and it's essentially a What If? reality. Having these illos at hand really helps with players putting a face to the name.

Also, along with the main heroes campaign, I run a villains side game. Before, the players made up PC villains of thier own to use (I encouraged for them to somehow tie-in/connect the villains to their heroes, but it rarely happened). However, for the current game, I'm going to have the players pick from a set of existing lower-tier villains instead: characters like Man-Killer, Mad Dog, Water Wizard, Constrictor, Cyclone, Fly, & the like. In these cases, illos would really help out.

I'd appreciate any info/links/guidance that you can provide.

Thanks for the links.

The Marvel Directory one I have come across before. It's decent, but the big problem is that not all entries have illustrations with them. Also, it details only so much information--a fair numbe rof characters that I was looking pictures on weren't even featured.

Google proves to be hit-or-miss. I've had a little bit of luck with Google image searches, but in some cases, some searches yield no results (or no well-related results) at all.

The Appendix to the Handbook of the Marvel Universe is useful so far, though its seems a bit hit-or-miss as well. I think that some of the characters I'm looking for may not be deemed obscure enough for this site. Oh well.

Nevertheless, good stuff so far. Any more suggestion/links/ideas?
 

Haven't searched for the ones you mentioned, but you might try
Edit: Actually, I just did some exploring on the site, and it looks perfect for you.

The Villains of Marvel Comics!

I at least found Shocker, and a nice page on the Masters of Evil there. A few different looks for Doc Ock, and in most cases, scans of comic pages from several eras for each villain. Also, with sound clips from various cartoon appearances by the villains. :)

Cooll--I knew about this site, but on occassion some pages pop up as temporarily unavailable. This helps a lot too. (Didn't find a solo pic of Blakc Racer from Serpent Society, but at least a clear depiction of her in a group shot--I was hoping at least for an online copy of her illo from an old Official Handfbook of the Marvel Universe; she's the speedster for a villain group I've put together for my game consisting of members like Shocker, Eel, Blizzard, Dr. Demonicus, Ghost, Vermin, & Mr. Fear.)
