So I finally saw the Fantastic Four...

Must it be mutually exclusive? Can't intelligent calculating evil have a flare for theatrics and the ego that comes with it?

Pierre Trudeau sure did.

We'll have to differ on Trudeau

You just think he was evil!?

No, but not for this thread

No, but not for this thread

Maybe we should start a thread of foreign leaders Marvel turned into comic book villains. Trudeau gets 1st post!

I used to have two full sets of the first run of Captain Canuck (Guardian was a poor copy by Marvel, done a few years later) from back in the '70s. Unfortunately when my younger brother became old enough to read comics he found my stash (including a whole bunch of comics that had 10 and 12 cent cover costs) and started selling them off to an unscrupulous flea market seller, in order to buy new ones.

Reminds me of my mother who gave to goodwill my 1980 Darth Vader case and all the figurines it contained... Cause I didn't play with them anymore.

As a side note, My understanding is Marvel has the rights for Fantastic Four as a movie back but in turn allowed Paramount the rights to do X-men on TV (New Mutants anyone?)

If this is so, maybe we can get a better Fantastic Four movie.

I believe the current state is that both Fox and Marvel are denying that film rights are back in Marvel's hands. Fox still has the movie rights for the foreseeable future.

How about "so far over the top that he can see the bottom again" instead? Since childhood I've always pictured Doom as being as flamboyant as a Shakespearean actor, throwing his lines to the back row. I'm talking moustache-twirling evil here, rather than intelligent and calculating evil.
