=Top 5 Villains =

Mystiqe:
Mystiqe is a mutant who can change both her shape and mass. In other words she is a shape shifter, her shape shifting ability also allows her voice to change into another's, or in some cases an animals shriek or scream. She also has a small healing ability, along with years of training as an assassin. It is important to read about her because she is one of the few villains who change their views on the betrayals and loyalty of those around her. Those and a few other things cause her to change her outlook of her decisions. Although she changes her views she does not change the belief she has in herself and her abilities. = = = Deadpool: = Deadpool is a slightly insane villain who was placed in the Weapon X facility. He was injected with Wolverine's DNA. The scientists were trying to cure an illness he caught, but his body rejected the foreign DNA causing his skin to become disfigured. Because he was in a feverish state, constantly having hallucinations, and looking half dead the other inmates called him Deadpool. He was soon given a red and black suit that held many undetectable weapons. Deadpool is a comic relief character and often makes sharp or quick witted comments. Making a battle both funny and interesting. Deadpool also has a past with many characters such as Wolverine, Sabertooth, Lady Deathstrike, and much more. Causing his encounters to have some interesting little side stories. = Joker: = Joker is a criminal who has no real powers except that of his insanity, if that counts. There are many versions of how he came to be the way he is, and they all end with him falling into a vad of toxic waste, resulting in both a twisted mind and body.Joker blames Batman for his disfigurement. Joker is and is what most of us are scared of because he causes so many deaths and destruction. He kills with out thinking and teases Batman trying to get him to break his one rule. See if you can figure out what it is. = Gambit: = Gambit is a mutant who can cause anything he touches to explode. He carries a deck of cards around in his pocket, and occupationally throws them at things to make them explode. He is the favorite son of a crime lord in New Orleans. He is one of the few mutants who is not hated for what they can do. Gambit is confronted with a number of situations that in the end makes him a part of Professor Xavier's school of gifted youngsters (x-men) and ends up falling in love with Rogue. His journey from a villain to a hero is one that few take. = Carnage: = Carnage was once a serial killer who shared a cell in jail with Venom. Some of the symbote got inside of his blood stream and caused him to turn into a creature not unlike Venom. When Carnage breaks out of Ravencroft (a prison) both Venom and spider-man must team up to bring Carnage down. Carnage is also slightly insane, thats why when he teamed up with Shriek and went along with her insane family idea. (Shriek was the mother, Carnage the father, Demogoblin, and Carron as the children Dobbleganger as the creepy pet) Carnage's story shows how enemies can band together to bring a threat down. I'm referring to Spider-man and Venom. =Top 5 Heros =

=Batman:= Batman is not considered a Superhero by some because he has no real powers other than his intelligence and reservoir of money. He created the Batcave with the best technological equipment invented (no matter the cost) most of which was created at either wane industries or in the Batcave. Batmans butler Alfred is also his personal doctor and surgeon. Batman is a symbol of what we could be, what we could do with our lives when something bad happens. If not in exactly that same way of fighting crime dressed as a bat. = Wolverine: = Wolverine is a mutant with a healing property that is so powerful that he has outlived many centuries but is still in his prime.He was placed in the Weapon X facility and there all of his bones were infused with an unbreakable metal called Animantium. The procedure gave him retractable metal claws that can cut through anything. Wolverine can not remember his past due to some of the experimentation that went on in the Weapon X facility. So as he roams the world trying to gain those memories back he crosses paths with many people from his past.

= = = Wonder Woman: = Wonder Woman was given to the queen of the Amazons as a miracle from the gods. She was born from the sands of the paradise islands. She is incredibly strong and holds a golden lasso that if put around someone would make them speak only truth. She wears golden bracelets that can deflect any bullets and owns an invisible jet. Wonder woman teaches us of faith and magic. Along with this she revels that not everything is as it appears to be. = Moon Knight: = Moon knight is a avatar to the Egyptian good of the moon. His power depends on the moon. If it is full, so is his power. Moon knight holds many weapons including a animantium staff, throwing moons and spiked gauntlets. Moon knight also has a jet in the shape of a crescent moon to honor his god. Moon knight is not just the Avatar of the moon but a bringer of vengeance. A person dedicated to revenge. = Rogue: = Rogue is a mutant who can suck the life force out of others. But if you are a mutant she can also take that person special ability or abilities. She has had some problems with controlling random outbursts of other mutants power. Such as transporting like Night crawler. Rogue like all people has problems. But not all people are in danger of destroying th whole world.
