Making a lame villian dangerous (The Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man!)

[Mr. X]

One of the hokiest villians to ever grace the comics medium, The Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man. As his name suggests, he could turn into any animal, mineral, or vegetable. Here's an LSD inspired cover featuring yours truly.

Now, I want you to do the impossible... Make this goofy bastard dangerous. What strange, mind bending plan can you devise with his power-set to kill... say... Wolverine. At least has to be a little challenging/fun, right? :)

The AVM man showed to be able to turn into Sulphur. Thinking along those lines, I'd personally crawl into Logan's body as a tapeworm or some such, and then I'd go to work, turning into Thermite in his stomach. I'm not going to go into particulers about the wonders of thermite, but if you're curious... Check this badass video out.

Oh, one last thing to note... The AVM didn't do things to scale. He could turn into a massive dandy lion, and he could seperate parts of himself. So you could become a group of bees and sting logan to death, for instance. :D

[KhorneBloodGod]

Turn into a gnat, fly inside his ear, then turn into a 500000 ton rock.

[The Blue Devil]

Turn into what ever element can dissolve Logans skeleton. THen just throw himself onto him.

Come to think of it.. AVM Metal could turn himself into Anti Man, and make Logan his bitch.

Edit; Anti Man, as in Anti metal, Artic Vibranuim, a natural Miineral/metla in Marvel Earth, dissolve sall other metals/alloys.

Anti-Man? :confused:

Come on, come up with something original. Like giving Logan an acid enema or some such. :eek: :)

The guy can turn into any animal, vegetable or mineral, and even create hybrid forms? Geez, doesn't take much to make it more effective.. He can already create vicious predators with metallic claws and fangs, coated with vegetable poisons..

[Chou Blaster]

Anti-Man? :confused.:

As in ANti Metal Man, in is a antural metal on Earth. (Just only in Marvels South Pole.)

You know, I for some reason totally didn't think of that. Extremely good one.

Bleh, I'm unimaginative. :(

Well that, and any decent writer could take that said guy, and make him dangerous.

i can see him as a joke, if only one at a time. But look at him, hybrid form from the get go.

[Crinos]

You know, I'm sorry, but considering that cover depicts him pwning the entire DOOM PATROL on his own, I fail to see why he needs to be made more dangerous.

Now if it was someone like, oh say... DING DONG DADDY...

He may need some improvement.

But AMV man? not so much.

[Morroccobot]

T-rex with diamond teeth = crushed robotman.

Holy crap! That was a real character?! I thought they just made him up for the cartoon! :eek:

AMV's power set is not the problem, he has stupid name and bad look, change those and give him a sinister motive and you could have something.

[Crinos]

Holy crap! That was a real character?! I thought they just made him up for the cartoon! :eek:

Nope, he appeared once in the 1950's and was never heard from again.

Le Blanc was in the comics about this time as well.

Oh come on, what villain DOESNT have a stupid name and bad look?

I mean Juggernaut was, in his heyday, one of the scariest guys around, and he looks like a fucking DILDO! And names? Dr. Doom, Red Skull, ULTRA HUMANITE?

If they brought AMV back today he'd be top tier.

[Broblawsky0]

I'd just shorten his name to AVM. That's all it'd take to make him a serious threat - he can become nearly any kind of solid object he can imagine.

AMV's name is too long, comic books have to short and to the point, they should not go over two words, that's what make them easy to remember. Besides a lot of villains had really stupid names that had to be changed in order to taken seriously (Blizzard started off as Jack Frost and Whirlwind started off as the Human Top, those are improvements, some names are just too stupid and need to changed.)

[DEATH]

Have him turn into a Kryptonian T-rex. (Or a giant K Ant)

1960's. And he's appeared three times.

I wanna see the next panel. Where Donna breaks Wally's arm for calling her "Wonder Chick."

Still, the AVM Man? Dude, that power set is scary as hell. He just has a weird power and a stupid name.

It is basically a weirder verson of Metamorpo. Pretty hard to beat.

I kind of figured that. Being the unimaginative mental plod that I am, I posed the question to you guys.

So, you have anything Yeoman?

[Zeta]

So a gigantic T-rex made of diamonds and spewing out poison ivy.

Yeah, can't imagine that being dangerous. :-p

[Mr. X]

Oh, I can assure you, you're overplaying the powers of poison ivy here. I've gotten it several dozen times over the course of my life and I'm still quite okay. ;) :D

[Crinos]

Yeah, but this is ALOT of Poison Ivy.

And its all attached to a diamond T-rex.

Plus, that could be poison Oak or Sumac for all we know.

[Mr. X]

Ahahahhaa. :D

Okay, can anyone actually give me something that the AVM Man could do? Something inventive? Like the poster who mentioned the the T-Rex with the blinging diamond teeth? :D

[Zeta]

He turns himself into a plant, has himself pollinated, spreads his seeds, and creates an army of steel elephants to conquer earth? :p

[Mr. X]

Ahhahahaha.

Ah, lord. What have I created? :( :D

[Crinos]

I'll do you one better:

Cyanaide Tapeworm.

You better cook your pork REAL good boy. REAL good. :evilsmile

[Mr. X]

Ahahahhahahahahahhahahaa.

I'm having an aneurysm! Help!
