    I learned some interesting things today about Mandarin. I didn't know that he clashed with the Inhumans, and I was very surprised to find that he was involved with Erik Killmonger's attempted coup in Wakanda.

    I actually own the Mephisto story that was used for his image. That's the first time that's happened.

    If I recall correctly, it was Mockingbird. They saved her from Mephisto's realm, but she died as they escaped.

    Ah, the Soviet Super Soldiers/People's Protectorate. They made such a great cold war counterpoint to the Avengers!

    Who/what was Fantasma?

    Monday Morning Quarterback Time.

    Given the low # of votes these guys have gotten so far, maybe a Top 25 would have been a better idea, without the options for the seperate Masters of Evil/ Lethal Legion/ Zodiac Gang teams (which have surely split those votes.)

    Many Avengers started out as villains, and some of them fought the Avengers before joining. Plus, the Avengers seem to lack a proper rogues gallery, outside of Ultron and Kang/Immortus. I consider Magneto and the Sentinels to be X-Men foes, but here they are on the Avengers top 50.

    Same. With the votes for some of the Avengers themselves, there was at least one poster who clearly was just voting for as many Avengers as he could.

    IMO, from the #32 slot and below is where Avengers villains stop being really lame. Like I said before one can see that after breaking the top 10-20 it just goes from middleground to pretty sad.
