Lord Beerus

Dragonball Z is now Dragonball Super, an era where Earth defenders are battling among gods. Lord Beerus, God of Destruction is the new villain whose purpose is to destroy planets, thus bringing balance in the cosmos. Lord Beerus resembles the appearance of the Egyptian God Set, with destructive power like Sekhmet. The only thing that seems to distract Beerus from his destructive quest is the taste of unique foods. Because of this, Earth is spared as long as Beerus appetite is satisfied.

Even though Lord Beerus is classified a villain because of his destructive nature, he is responsible for making Goku and Vegeta aware of the saiyan God. Although Beerus is a god, he has a martial arts master named Whis, who is responsible for training Beerus and the saiyans to use their god forms. The saiyans trained immensely to master their new powers but still fall short of Beerus’ might individually. Broly and Omega Shenron are two powerful villains that Earth defenders had to face. Omega Shenron is the negative force of Shenron, created from the overuse of the dragonballs. Broly is a saiyan born with abnormal energy reserves that continues to grow rapidly during combat without ever fatiguing. Since both super villains have an overwhelming sense for destruction and with proper training, could Broly or Omega Shenron take on the role as God of Destruction?

Terminators

Technology is an important asset to our world and has become an ever-evolving science to improve our way of life. Artificial intelligence is among the sci-fi thrillers because of the possibility of computer systems evolving to self-awareness and destroy humanity. In cinema, Skynet gained awareness and used Earth’s defense systems to wipe out the human population. Assassin cyborgs called Terminators were created to eliminate the surviving humans who would begin building a Resistance against the system and possibly destroy it.

In the first film, The T-800 Terminators are concealed in human tissue to effectively infiltrate many Resistance bases. The cyborgs are equipped with learning CPUs which allow the cyborg to adapt quickly within human society. Arnold Schwarzenegger is the leading actor in the movie series as the killer cyborg. Skynet sent the Terminator back to the past to eliminate Sarah Conner, who would give birth to her son John, the leader of the Resistance in the future. In films 2 and 3, Arnold’s role as the T-800 was reprogrammed to protect John Conner against potential threats that would jeopardize his future leadership.

The T-1000 is introduced in the second film, with an appearance similar to the Silver Surfer and the ability to shapeshift to mimic humans or objects. Severe cold and heat is the weakness of the T-1000 because of its liquid base instead of having a robotic endoskeleton. It’s mission was to eliminate John Conner and succeed where the T-800 failed with Sarah 10 years prior.

Terminator 3 introduced the T-X cyborg. This Terminator is created with an advanced robotic endoskeleton which allows the android to reconfigure its arms into weapons like plasma cannons. Its outer layer is liquid metal like the T-1000, allowing it to impersonate any human on Earth. The mission of the T-X is to eliminate the future lieutenants of the Resistance along with John Conner. Skynet figured that taking out the future leaders would leave John alone to fight against machines, in the event he escapes his termination again.

Terminator: Genisys gave a different perspective on the storyline, seemingly because of Skynet’s continual failure in eliminating John Conner. In this storyline, Skynet ambushes Conner in the future, transforming him into the Model T-3000. Its nanotechnology infects, then transforms humans into nanomachines as well, all to serve Skynet. What if Ultron had Tony’s nanotechnology to create himself an advanced body? How powerful do you think Ultron could be or would he share the same weakness as the T-3000?

Terminator: Dark Fate is another film that has an altered viewpoint to the storyline, making it another possible sequel to Judgement Day. In this film, John and Sarah Conner relocated to Central America in hopes of living a life outside of being United States most wanted. Three years earlier, Skynet sent another T-800 to kill John, but because of John’s constant movements with Sarah and the reprogrammed T-800, the Terminator had trouble keeping up to its target. John’s death was a success this time because Sarah and his defenses were lowered, believing that no Terminators could exist again in their time and that this T-800 being identical to the one John bonded to. After John’s death, the cyborg was stranded without a mission objective or ever reaching the future where Skynet would exist. Because of this, the T-800 chose to live among the humans peacefully. Skynet was not the beginning or end to artificial intelligence though. This film presented a new threat called Legion. This advanced system created terminators known as Rev-9s, which is similar but different to the T-X model. Its exterior is black liquid metal, and its interior is an advanced endoskeleton. The Rev-9’s exterior can separate from the endoskeleton and operate independently as two entities.

Grace and Marcus were once humans who became enhanced cybernetically. Marcus was transformed into a cyborg by Cyberdyne Industries, becoming like the T-800 model for the exception of his heart and brain still being intacted. Because of his unique design, Marcus is similar to Cyborg in the Justice League, with the exception of flight. Grace has cybernetics graphed around her bones, eyes and underlay of skin. Her design is similar to Brixton Lore of Fast and the Furious Presents Hobbs and Shaw, where most of her body is still organic. What kept these characters on the side of good was the vital organs that retained their human emotion.

Technology in our world is evolving each year, in cyberspace and machines. Is it possible that the manipulation of science and technology could have negative results that threatens mankind? Could humans push too far and accidentally create a computer system that could become self-aware and hostile?

Atrocitus

Atrocitus made his introduction to the comic world in the Blackest Night comic series. The Red Lantern Corps is the third strongest corps next to the White and Black Lantern Corps. After losing his family to the Manhunters, Atrocitus was consumed by anger and rage, which fueled his revenge against the Guardians of the Universe. As leader of the Red Lantern Corps, recruiting soldiers wouldn’t be difficult. Many characters throughout all comic universes have gone through intense states of rage

After the Blackest Night introduction, Atrocitus and his Red Lantern Corps made a quick transition to television in the Green Lantern Animated Series Cartoon. This is the third Lantern Corps that has made a live appearance along with the Blue Lantern Corps. Will Atrocitus ever make it to the movie screen or was the animated cartoon series the first- and last-time comic fans will see the Leader and Master of rage?

What if…. Atrocitus went too far to make sure his Corps was the most dominant among them all. What if Atrocitus recruited powerful Sith Lords or even Dark Phoenix herself? Can Atrocitus and his fantasy members be stopped?! To Be Continued….

Mystique

Mystique is a master of disguise, because her mutant ability allows her to morph into any human or mutant at will. Mystique often mimics human forms because her blue skin stands out to public ridicule and torment. In addition to her morphing powers, Mystique’s level as an expert hand to hand combatant and covert operative rivals Black Widow, Domino and even Solid Snake in the world of espionage. Mystique is a foe that battles the X-Men on many occasions, primarily alongside her Brotherhood of Mutants, which is led by Magneto.

In the beginning, Mystique used her power to blend into society. While living the lives of various people, Mystique spawned two children. Her first child was Graydon Creed, a result of her fling with Sabretooth. Graydon was born a normal human who later became part of the political parties wanting to eradicate those with the X-Gene. Mystique’s next child was Nightcrawler, a result of her secret affair with Azazel. NightCrawler was also rejected by humans because of his physical appearance. Mystique later adopted Rogue as her own child when Rogue ran away from home at an early age. Rogue and NightCrawler later grew up to be a part of the X-Men, battling their own mother on different occasions…

mystique 5

Mystique made her live movies features with X-Men 1, 2, 3, First Class, Days of Future Past, Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix. The image design for Mystique has changed from the comic book when introduced to the big screen. The smooth blue skinned; white appareled female was replaced with a naked reptilian skinned mutant. This gave Mystique a more abnormal look, putting more emphasis on her mutation. Did the change hurt Mystique’s character profile or did movie producers make an excellent choice?

Megatron

Megatron is the leader of the Decepticon Army and uprising on Cybertron. Megatron was created by the Quintessons. His purpose for creation was a tool for war, being that most of his transformation represents military weapons and vehicles. As a gladiator champion, Megatron gained the respect and influential voice from the population on Cybertron. The name Megatron is short from his chosen gladiator name Megatronus. This political gain of power is similar to the gladiators of Rome, gaining respect of the people through undefeated battles.

Optimus Prime was a pupil to Megatron, believing in helping end the corruption in the governing body on Cybertron. The influence and power Megatron gained began to corrupt him. Megatron believed that not only Cybertron should be reshaped into a new order, but he also believed the universe should be reshaped as well, all in his image. Optimus believed all beings in the universe have the right for freedom than be ruled by a tyrant. The war on Cybertron began from the difference in ideals of a mentor and pupil.

Megatron appeared on television in the 1980’s in his original form, exactly as depicted in the comics. Megatron then became two versions of the T-Rex in Beast Wars series. The Beast Wars series is of a different timeline than the original Transformers. These different timelines later crossed paths when Megatron combined his spark with the original Megatron resulting in his dragon form. Megatron’s next animated form was in Transformers Prime, as a cybertronian space fighter, which was similarly used in his live action movie appearance Transformers 1 and 2. In the film Transformers 4, Megatron was reformed as Galvatron, a creation made by human hands than that of Unicron. Did movie producers preserve the vision of Megatron on film or has the various changes cripple the Emperor of Destruction?

Broly

Saiyans are known as the warrior race with an appetite for battle and power. Broly is the deadliest and most powerful saiyan known to history and is also known as the Legendary Super Saiyan. Broly’s power level was so enormous at birth, it put fear in King Vegeta. Broly’s power level matched the King’s, and it was predicted Broly will eventually surpass the royal bloodline. King Vegeta ordered Broly to be killed. Even though the attempt was fatal, Broly survived. As a result, Broly’s power doubled and at that point in time, he the strongest saiyan alive. The increase in power allowed infant Broly to shield himself and his father from the explosion of Planet Vegeta. Broly grew to become an uncontrolled superpower capable of destroying planets, solar systems and galaxies, all to feed his desire for destruction.

Lower class saiyan babies are jettisoned into the universe, to selected planets to be conquered. It seems odd to DBZ fans on why Broly was created with a subconscious annoyance with Goku, simply because of his constant crying as an infant. This hatred for Goku remained with Broly into adulthood which is also confusing to readers to how Broly would recognize Goku in adult form. Goku was destined to purge life on Earth and Broly set to be executed. Through many unforeseen circumstances, their destinies changed, Broly turned out to be the destroyer of the universe while Goku became the protector. In all respects, Broly and Goku is the representation of the light and darkness of the saiyan race.

Comic fans often wonder how Broly would fair against the Z fighters’ most difficult opponents: Kid Buu and Omega Shenron. In the DBZ anime, all the Z fighters including Goku eventually tires out in battle. Replenishment of power comes from available senzu beans or borrowed energy; tactics Broly doesn’t need since he wields the legendary form. Broly’s power would increase dramatically during the intense battle and it’s even possible that in either battle, Broly could jump through the different levels of super saiyan. Kid Buu would need to absorb Omega Shenron to gain an advantage on Broly. Comic fans even discussed fantasy crossover battles between Broly, Superman and the Hulk. Superman and the Hulk have a lack of knowledge on ki manipulation, so how would they able to withstand Broly’s sheer force? Since Broly appeared to be defeated prematurely in the animated movies, DBZ fans refuse to let the idea of Broly die. Broly’s life is extended in the DBZ universe through video game storylines. Will we get a new set of movies welcoming the return of Broly?!

Nekron

As leader of the Black Lantern Corps, Nekron is among the most powerful, cosmic beings of the DC Universe. Nekron is the most powerful because he is the cosmic entity of death, the supreme ruler of the undead. All living beings face their end in death for the exception of those who possess immortality. If anyone is far dangerous than Atrocitus, it would be Nekron. If Nekron was able to recruit the Justice League to his Corps, what do you think would happen if he crossed into the Marvel Universe and recruited the zombies? Is it possible that Nekron could control Dracula just the same as his other undead hoards?

Comic fans suggest that Spawn be a part of the Black Lantern Corps. Spawn and Nekron would be in battle for the rights to the Black Lantern Corps for Spawn also has supernatural powers over the undead as king of hell. Would Spawn be more powerful than Nekron since he is now at Omega Level? What type of power would Spawn wield with the combined strength of a black power ring and his necroplasmic based armor?

 Nekron and Mistress Death share similar roles in their own universes. Mistress Death showed a liking to Deadpool and rare occasion Thanos. Do you believe Nekron is worthy of Mistress Death complete attention? What would be the story of the cosmos if these two powerful entities joined forces?

The Joker

The Joker is ranked among the top comic book villains of all time. The Joker was first depicted in DC Comics as a comedic style criminal of Gotham City and a nuisance to its society with his prankster antics. The Joker was later created as a dark villain: a homicidal, psychopathic terrorist who kills mercilessly for amusement. The Joker’s appearance and ruthless personality, brings fear in any organization within the criminal underworld.

The Joker became twisted with evil from the loss of his wife and child, then becoming physically deformed in a confrontational accident with the Dark Knight. The Joker believes Batman created him to be the negative side the hero couldn’t become: a killer. The Joker operates out of many hideouts when running the streets of Gotham or is held in his public domain Arkham Asylum. The Joker outfits himself in bright colors like that of a clown or jester, thus receiving the title Clown Prince of Crime. In Gotham City, The Joker represents complete chaos while Batman represents dominant order.

On film, The Joker’s character profile is parallel with the comic book version. In the 1989 Batman, Jack Nicholson played the theatrical criminal with a spontaneous sense of crude humor, with mild violence suitable for most audiences. Heath Ledger shed more light to The Joker’s dark and ruthless nature in The Dark Knight, much approved by comic fans worldwide. In the Suicide Squad, The Joker is played by Jared Leto  as a rockstar with an unpredictable behavior and a demented mindset. Last but least Joaquin Phoenix becomes the Joker in his feature film, displaying his beginning and what led him to his vile personality. Since the release of Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, comic fans feel Ben Affleck surpassed Christian Bale‘s popularity as Batman. Will Jared Leto become the top Joker to match the new and improved Batman? Or has the Clown Prince of Crime reached his cinematic limit?

Venom

Venom is apart of an alien race of symbiotes, when bonded with a host, becomes a powerful warrior taking on the personality and physical attributes of its host. What makes these symbiotes seem villainous is when they bond with a host, the symbiote would feed off the chemicals released from the host’s body, chemicals which are released when emotions like anger is triggered. Adrenaline is the chemical symbiotes primarily feed on. If the adrenaline isn’t released in a desired amount for consumption, the symbiote would find another host or dominate the mind and body of its current host(which is usually a superhuman) causing them to engage in extreme activities that would increase the adrenaline levels, eventually leaving the host depleted. Only way to rid oneself of these parasitic symbiotes is by high pitch sound waves or intense flame.

Spiderman was a perfect bond for the symbiote because as a hero with superpowers, daily crime fighting keeps his adrenaline levels at a high rate and for extended periods of time. Since Spiderman was Venom’s first host, every host after was able to have the powers of Spiderman. Venom became a nemesis to Spiderman after bonding with its next host Eddie Brock. Eddie had a deep hatred toward Spiderman, a hatred in which the symbiote fed on and acted upon as its own.

The Venom symbiote also has the ability to reproduce. Its offspring bonded with a serial killer becoming the villainous Carnage. Carnage in turn had an offspring called Toxin, which Carnage despised because it believed Toxin would be more powerful than itself and Venom. Eddie Brock eventually rid himself of the Venom symbiote, but small remnants of the symbiote bonded with Brock’s white blood cells creating the symbiote Anti-Venom. The Anti-Venom symbiote does not dominate its host like other symbiotes but does become active and protects its host when Venom or other symbiotes are present. The Anti-Venom symbiote operates like the white bloods in the human body which help defend and cure the body of viruses and infections.

Venom was featured in the live action film Spiderman 3, much to the disapproval of comic fans. Most comic fans expected a bulky powerful Venom as seen in cartoon and comic book, but instead received a smaller grade Venom who wasn’t as threatening as comic fans were raised to believe. The Spiderman franchise was rebooted in 2012 with better graphics and story line. Will Venom also get a recreated look? A look that comic fans would love and recognize as the true Venom?….

The Riddler

The Riddler is among a list of villains who has experienced abuse as a child from the father figure. (The Red Skull, Sabretooth, Deadshot….) An abusive atmosphere is the common background to most comic book villains. Despite Edward choosing a life of crime, Edward is similar to Bruce Wayne/Batman to some degree. Both characters are wealthy men, genius intellect and even have great detective skills. In various degrees, The Riddler is a worthy foe to Batman. But to Batman, The Riddler is nothing more than a mental challenge than physical in his crime fighting career.

The Riddler has made his way to the TV and movie screen. The Riddler features in all Batman cartoons series, but he got his major feature in film with Batman Forever, portrayed by Jim Carrey. In the TV show Gotham, the Riddler was portrayed by Cory Michael Smith. Will a new actor take the role of this mysterious villain, or will this villain ever make it back to the big screen for a second time?

Could there be truth to The Riddler’s 3D Box, which was shown in the Batman Forever? What if,..the purpose of the box was no different from the purpose of our own televisions and cable boxes…! The purpose to is to capture our mentality. For example, when you watch a thriller movie, certain scenes are equipped with music of suspense, capturing your emotion and mental state of the scene. It feels as if you are the character in danger when in reality, you’re the one watching a movie!! Now that we have 3D movies and 3D televisions, are our IQs really decreasing while spending more time in front of the television?!
