Dirty Deeds w/ Spiral!

[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.

For our thirteenth profile, I thought we’d go back to taking a peek at someone who’s been a villain, and had her hand in a lot of the seedy underbelly of goings-on in the X-Universe. Whether it’s empowering enemies of the X-Men with cybernetic implants, or going into battle under the command of Mystique, the woman who was once Ricochet Rita has really been a thorn in he side of the Children of the Atom. Uh huh. You bet. This edition of Dirty Deeds is with...



The only girl from the Mojoverse who can give you a High Thirty…
Spiral!!!

[Peter F.]

You know Abducting her alternate universe self, Ricochet Rita-616 and nearly driving her insane? should have been an option in the poll.

Helping make the original Reavers isn't dirty, it's just business.

[Dizzy D]

My winner:

- Helping Mojo redesign a church to worship him in a blasphemous nightmare, and laugh at the slaves while they toiled to place the image of his face all over it? (Longshot (vol. 1) #6 )

You could add her helping Mojo keeps Mojo on the throne and a whole species of people in slavery.

Don't quite get the evil-aspect of these though:

- Helping capture Magneto for the U.S. government while he was visiting the Holocaust museum with Kitty Pryde and trying to help her find out about her grandparents? - (Uncanny X-Men #199)

- Binding the soul of Shatterstar into the body of the mutant Benjamin Russell? (X-Force (vol. 1) #60-61)
(Though it is Shatterstar's life she saved there, so I can see it)

Can't remembering this happening at all:
- Turning followers of Longshot, the Bratpack, into frogs? (Uncanny X-Men Annual #15 )

The Bratpack was there , but the frogs were the frogs from Simonson's Thor-stories at the time. (and I think you mean #10 there?)

We just pretend this series never happened:
- Killing most of an alternate Earth’s heroes and setting herself up as ruler? ([i]X-Force: Shatterstar #1-4[/I/])*

- Torturing an alternate Earth’s Sunspot by holding him captive and repeatedly raping him to where he didn’t have the energy to escape? ([i]X-Force: Shatterstar #3 [/I/])

While terrible, it was terrible for whole other reasons
- Creating a robot simulacrum of Jean Grey, called the “Jean Bomb” that would explode on some of the X-Men and transform them into X-Baby amalgams of themselves? (Uncanny X-Men #461)

I strongly considered putting that one in the poll.

- Helping capture Magneto for the U.S. government while he was visiting the Holocaust museum with Kitty Pryde and trying to help her find out about her grandparents? - (Uncanny X-Men #199)

Well, arresting a guy trying to help out the ancestors of Holocaust victims in the middle of the Holocaust museum? Bad timing, at the very least. Innocent bystanders, as well as the location makes it a bad PR move.

- Binding the soul of Shatterstar into the body of the mutant Benjamin Russell? (X-Force (vol. 1) #60-61)

(Though it is Shatterstar's life she saved there, so I can see it)

Ah, yeah. I meant #10. But she does mess with the Bratpack in the midst of that issue. Altering kids, always bad, IMO.

Considering what "torture" is on that world, I wonder how she killed all those heroes. But yeah, I agree, this series... muy mal.

While terrible, it was terrible for whole other reasons
- Creating a robot simulacrum of Jean Grey, called the “Jean Bomb” that would explode on some of the X-Men and transform them into X-Baby amalgams of themselves? (Uncanny X-Men #461)

Yeah, making fun of a dead Jean is only funny when fans do it. When Spiral does it? Just wrong.

See, I can agree if I go with the NRA logic of "cybernetic implants don't kill people, people kill people".

The only reason I didn't include Rita gettin' loco is that she managed to recover with the intervention of Longshot, Dr. Strange, and Wong.

I think that reviewer never read the Thor-issues with the Frogs and completely misinterpreted that scene.

Hmm... should I strike that from the record, then? (that'd be a first, actually)

[The Lucky One]

As bad as all of that stuff is, there really can't be any answer other than "trying to sacrifice a baby." I mean... it's a baby. She was ready to plunge the knife and everything. That's really damn evil.

Makes you wonder what she's done off-panel, doesn't it?

Almost killing a baby is bad....

Actually holding someone hostage and raping them repeatedly... That's worse.

Spiral has six fists.


That's all I have to say about that.

[Come To Deathstrike]

All the events are perfectly in reason.
I mean, if I was Spiral, I would have done them.
And dem sum.

[Bingo!]

Spiral's dagger was inches away from bleeding that infant. That was her worst deed.

Makes you wonder what she's done off-panel, doesn't it?

I wonder what horrors have been commited in her Body Shoppe. Does Rita still work for Mojo or is she taking the entrepreneurial route these days?

I keep hearing rumors of an upcoming magic based event for Marvel. If there is, Spiral would be a fun wild card to toss into the mix.

After the tease we saw in Endangered Species, Spiral needs to be brought out and thrown back into the mix.


I wonder if she's behind the "Sisterhood"? Hot evil chicks do get ratings, I could see her being the leader for Mojo. Just sayin'.
