Hey, we’ve all made mistakes, and raise your hand if you’ve never been caught in a war between a murderous cult and a pack of supervillains. C’mon, let’s see he who is without sin here!

*Raises hand*. But ONLY for a lack of murderous cults this far north. Although I guess we could have some crazy wendigo worshippers somewhere……
Wendigo worshippers, eh? C’mawn, if you’re going to worship an obscure X-Men villain, at least give some attention to Mimic or Unus the Untouchable.
…wait, there was a wendigo before Marvel comics? Woooooops.
As much as I do love Unus, I did mean the arctic cannibal spirit of ancient native american myth. Although at least Wendigo is canadian in comics too.
I’ve never been caught in a war between a murderous cult and a pack of supervillains. I’ve also never put a sock puppet on my hand that then tried to destroy San Francisco. I’ve also never kidnapped a clone of a two-headed crime lord and eventually gotten her killed in a car accident. Or been involved in Dada art. Or killed a dugong with a dugong.
Hey, I’m either doing far better or far worse than most of your characters!
I should hope so! If anyone ever finds themselves in a predicament where they think, “Damn, even Scapula is doing better than me”, seek help immediately (that kind of depressing thought can kill!).
I’m not sure if I should be proud or disappointed that most people can’t say this. When I was much younger I actually got caught in a situation between a couple of social Luchidors and a religious splinter group, so while not villains per se……
Hm, would my mother have counted as a supervillain? Her wardrobe was 30% leather suits and 20% body armor, she was proficient with firearms, explosives, knives, flame throwers and various other implements of harm, and she loved hurting people. Plus she had a government searching for her (unsuccessfully). Plus she was constantly at war with her own beliefs, so I suppose you could say that for the few years I had her, I was caught in the middle of a war between a supervillain and a murderous cult (if you go by american christianity at least).
In comics what separates a supervillain from an anti-hero is a very thin line. Sub-Mariner and the Punisher could easily be called both, and there are some classic major antagonists who could actually be argued as being either or (Magneto and Dr. Doom instantly come to mind).
Would Jenn have qualified? Hmmmmm…my head hurts too much to debate the matter, so I’ll let those of you who knew her best decide.
Anit-hero. She had a (bent) moral compass and did try to do what was right, and she didn’t employ lethal force where it was avoidable. That’s my vote.
Uhm… Does an armed border violation count ? I accidentally hit the wrong side of the GDR (when it still existed) carrying a loaded H&K G3A2 and wearing the wrong uniform. Otherwise no supervillains, maybe some (harmless) religious cult. People maybe tend to think of me as a failed supervillain with all the cackling and explaining of my plans. But I’m just an IT specialist, so this is a coincidence. I swear!
That sounds like quite an…… adventure, I suppose, for lack of a better term?
Now THAT’S a short story waiting to be put into comics form…maybe not by me, but who’s to stop you all from writing/drawing your own stories? Do it!
