Dirty Deeds w/ Black Tom Cassidy!

[worstblogever]

Dirty Deeds!

"Dirty Deeds" is a series of threads where a discussion can be held about the morally questionable, or outright evil acts of characters in comics. It might be a discussion about times a hero crossed a moral line they shouldn't have, or a discussion of a villain's most horrific acts in their history, but the premise remains the same.

Where possible, a poll will be included to vote upon said character's "dirtiest deed".

Please do remember that there are no wrong answers, this is all a matter of opinion. Since everyone has a different set of morals, please try and respect differences in people's own beliefs.

I decided on the murderous deeds. But of the two? I think the one at Cassidy Keep is dirtiest.

Yeah, it was pretty inhuman. He had the lower levels of the place looking like a charnel house.

Squid Boy :( :( :(

[wolvie616]

darn terrorists! that is definately his worst deed...........

[Assemble]

Squid boy all the wayy

[alf_to_the_rescue]

His worse deed... being written by Austen and being part of that god awful brotherhood with Exodus, the useless chump.

but terrorists caused all our problems:tongue:

[coveredinbees]

- After being given half the Juggernaut’s power by Cain Marko on his birthday, trying to fight him to take the other half? (Marvel Team-Up #150)

Taking advantage of a such a kind man is absolutely unforgivable.

Squid Boy :( :( :(

The worst part of that deed is he killed one of the only good things to come out of Austen's run.

- After being given half the Juggernaut’s power by Cain Marko on his birthday, trying to fight him to take the other half? (Marvel Team-Up #150)

Taking advantage of a such a kind man is absolutely unforgivable.

Some would say it qualifies as spousal abuse.

His worse deed... being written by Austen and being part of that god awful brotherhood with Exodus, the useless chump.

It's up there. Having done research for a Brotherhood Month... discussing Exodus' whack-ass attempt at having one... there big coup was killing Squidboy and a cafeteria worker, before getting sucked into Xorn's head. I mean, even Toad's Brotherhood had a longer, more threatening run than that.

darn terrorists! that is definately his worst deed...........

but terrorists caused all our problems:tongue:

You can stop listening to the Bush administration. They've been out of office for like twelve weeks now.

[psychic_therapy]

Funny but not so... the World Trade center thing disturbs me most for some reason.

It's creepy that ten years before terrorists from Al Qaeda attacked the WTC in real life, Black Tom and Juggernaut did it in the comics. No doubt.

Very much so. Didn't realize it was 10 years before. Something about milestones like that creeps me out.

[Cain Marko]

- Raising Siryn without ever telling Banshee she existed, to be his criminal protégé, without letting her know who her real father was? revealed in Spider-Woman (vol. 1) #37-38 )


That was pretty bad. Corruption of a child. But he did feel awful about it. And it's been shown that unlike his partner-in-crime, Cain, Tom wouldn't kill an innocent kid.



- After being given half the Juggernaut’s power by Cain Marko on his birthday, trying to fight him to take the other half? (Marvel Team-Up #150)


Tom didn't try to take the other half. He didn't want any of the power at all, for that matter. He was trying to give it back. They fought because Tom confusedly hit Cain which made Cain mad.


Absorbing the life force of all of the hired staff of Cassidy Keep, killing them, and trying to do the same to Juggernaut and the X-Men? (Uncanny X-Men #411-412)

Eh. Tom was being Austenized at the time. That doesn't count.


- Using vines under his control to crush Sammy Pare, aka Squidboy, killing him? (X-Men (vol. 2) #162)


That was an heroic act. Sometimes sacrifices have to be made. Sammy had to die that The Juggernaut may live. The world was made a better place by Tom that day.


Now, vote for what you think is the worst of Black Tom Cassidy’s “Dirty Deeds”!

I'm going to go with the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. Especially since he ended up attacking Siryn in the process and could have gotten her killed.
