30 Day Marvel Challenge
Day #2: Your favorite villain
After long and careful consideration of this, with runners up including Ultron, Red Hulk/Red She Hulk, Cassandra Nova and Selene, I have decided to single out Madelyne Pryor as my favourite villain. Her recent outing as the Red Queen is pretty much all the reasoning I need for this, not only for the cunning and sass she provided, but for assembling the ‘Sisterhood of Mutants’, including Chimera, Lady Deathstrike, Spiral and the Mastermind sisters, whose sole purpose was apparently to hilariously troll the X-Men in new and inventive ways, which is always fun. Not only did she and her team trash the Mansion (not that that hasn’t happened infinitely before now) but she proceeded to mess with Psylocke and her ever confusing body issues by resurrecting British body/Asian head Psylocke, only beating this was her excellent attempt at bringing back that ho, Jean Grey. Which, although unsuccessful, did annoy Cyclops (yay!) and Wolverine (YAY!) and totally gained her HBIC status in the process. My only annoyance is that she was thwarted because of Domino (uh..), luck powers and corpse swapping is annoying as hell. let down. Here’s hoping she returns soon!
Also, this cover to Uncanny X-Men #510. YES.
