    Man, I know it's not scif fi, but Brubaker and Phillips start another volume of Criminal, and it gets no mention at all? Really?

    Planetary #27 will never happen. It's a myth. Graeme knows this, which is why he omitted it.

    As a former mad-scientist who owns a secret lair inside the Krakatoa volcano (currently on lease to another ioniner) and who was for a time bent on conquering the world, until the bad economy took its toll, I feel it's my obligation to defend my fellow comrade in arms, Syndrome.
    Need I remind people that Syndrome invented a number of extremely useful things, like his flying boots and his zero-point-energy weapon?
    I'm constantly appalled by how little love we mad scientists get. If it wasn't for us, those pathetic heroes would live depressing and unfulfilled lives.

    Does it make insane/evil if you totally agree with one of the people on this list? I mean, Catgirl does kinda have a point.

    @crashedpc : ゴキブリ and 蟑螂 division: Ooh, good point.
    I think we can make a case for the C.H's as fans-gone-bad, in the same way that Comic Book Guy did in the mentioned episode.
    Superheroes in costume in comics? Good.
    Fat unemployed nerds in costume IRL? Bad.

    the Trio from Buffy was an insult; make fun of "Comic Book Guys" if you will, but he made them such preening idiots that it wasn't at all what I thought an "evil nerd organization" should be like
    a true sign that by the final seasons, the Buffy writers were going mad with power

    I loved Syndrome. The moment when he accidentally throws Mr. Incredible several hundred yards and then rolls his eyes at himself was pure gold.

    How on Earth-Prime could you forget to mention Elijah Price- Mr. Glass from "Unbreakable"? He caused major catastrophes just to smoke out his hero and justify his supervillain existence! Plus Sam Jackson looked so cool in that Shilo Norman hairdo.

    @John Hazard: I second the nomination of Mr. Glass.
    Also, I would contend that Wannabe from the Freshmen comics qualifies. Being a comic nerd and having sided with the villains at least once, and some indications might be pointing that way again.
