That's right folks, continuing on from yesterday's theme, today I'm going to present villains from the DCU I think would probably work out well in the MU.
Honestly these are really right off the top of my head
-Top 10 DC Villains I'd Send To Marvel:
1). Parasite
I know he's primarily a Superman villain, but given his origins due to radioactive waste, there's no reason why he couldn't exist with the same beginnings in the MU.
2). Count Vertigo
He could still work as the heir to a made up country, or some European country in the MU. Hell I think he could a Hydra agent in league with Baron Zemo. So there you go.
3). The Atomic Skull
You can't tell me an evil scientist who gains powers wouldn't work in the MU. I mean shit, the Ghost, Radioactive Man, Plantman and the Living Laser more than prove that. Swap out Star Labs for either AIM or Hydra, and the Atomic Skull would work.
Well, I guess now that the Hulk's an Immortal zombie of sorts this choice could be made redundant, but we all know that particular incarnation of the Hulk's not going to last long, so fuck it, Grundy's on the list. And he'd be a great addition too, since he can die and be constantly reborn with a new personality, that's plenty of good story and match up possibilities right there.
I say why not the Flash's Rogues? Swap Flash out for Spider-Man and I see them working out really well in MU. I mean they could work for themselves, work for the Kingpin, or even the Hood, but yeah in place of the Sinister Six, or with them, the Rogues could be a major cause of problems for the Marvel Universe.
6). Dr. Destiny
The MU doesn't really have a guy that specifically targets the dreams of their enemies, outside of Nightmare. But since he's not the type that started out as an team offender guy, I think it's okay to use Dr. Destiny. Hey the visual alone of Dr. Destiny unleashing his powers on the Avengers is worth his inclusion to me I say.
7). Eclipso
If you dropped his origin as the original angel of death and spirit of vengeance in the DCU during their biblical times, and just went with his original origin story, Eclipso and his duel heroic identity as Bruce Gordon should work out just fine.
8). Mongul
Okay he does seem like a Thanos-like character, but he's enough of his own character to work out fine existing in the cosmic side of the MU. He also brings Warworld and the Black Mercy plant with him as valuable story fodder. Imagine him tackling Thor, The Avengers, The Inhumans and especially the Guardians of the Galaxy.
9). The Gentlemen Ghost
Instead of being a Hawkman villain, 1800's journeyman turned spectral villain "Gentleman" Jim Craddock would probably work as a GR or Dr. Strange villain. Hell he'd be a trip in the hands of a writer like Steve Gerber, especially during his Man-Thing and Defenders' days.
10). Doomsday
Yes he's primarily a Superman villain, but only because he was specifically created to be the Macguffin to kill him. Otherwise, he doesn't necessarily have to have Kryptonian origins. He could recieve some minor twerking and still work. He could either be an experiment of Thanos' that escaped, or be found in the Collector's collection and escape that to raise all sorts of hell. He's not the Hulk and he's not Maestro or the Abomination, so I don't feel as though he's simply a derivative of an existing Marvel character.
Those I also considered, but figured would be repetitive or redundant due to the nature of their powers are:
Dr.Polaris, Amazo, Darkseid, Prometheus, Harley Quinn, Deathstroke, Deadshot and Catwoman just to name a few.
Again, this is just my own personal list, so if you have any other suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments' section.
