Thread 151204417

These are always fun. Take any Marvel or DC bad guy, C-Z lister, and rework them either visually or motivation wise for more widespread appeal/future story potential. Keep in mind that this doesn't necessarily mean a power boost or edginess, merely finding a interesting place in the fictional narrative. This could be relatable working class criminal or otherwise.

Iron Man's rogue's gallery seems like a great place to start, as his villains are somewhat less memorable than most Marvel heroes. Like take The Unicorn for example, what could we do with him?

Drop the weird third eye on a stalk, remember that he's actually a fairly formidable superhuman combatant without the suit, remember that he's also a former intelligence agent, revamp his costume. Personally I say crib from Metal Gear Solid and go with a high-tech, sexualized, tactical aesthetic.

I'm just gonna take a bunch of Spidey's Z-Listers and rework them for Miles

>Hypno Hustler
More or less the same powerset, but change his origin and motivation to just being an arrogant music snob who goes to the same school as Miles and brainwashes people with his music to trash any youtube singers or musicians that aren't him.

>Fifth Avenue Phantom (Or just the Phantom)
Make him Miles' main villain or at least a very prominent antagonist. His identity is a total mystery, but he somehow knows who Miles is and devotes a lot of his criminal connections to making Miles' life a living hell.

>Doctor Cool
Instead of a diamond smuggler with ice powers, make him a therapist with low grade psychic powers that he uses to fuck with his patients' minds in a way that makes them feel good and want more, so they're willing to steal stuff for him to get another fix. (Stuff like diamonds)

Hypno Hustler needs a redesign too.

>>151207303
His classic design can still work. Though I'd also be down for him having a more modern look to fit with what I suggested.

That's not even the original Unicorn, that's the second one, from the Soviet Super Soldiers comic. The even more psychotic than usual one.

There's also a third version of the Unicorn who was Australian.

>>151206641
The wierd eye on a silk is cool. Hes supposed to be unnerving and overpowered freak.

>>151206919
Nah, Miles just needs to continue getting his own rogues and using the new ones across multiple writers instead of taking Peter's.

Rabble, Assessor, and his uncle are a half way decent start with others who are kinda there but have potential if writers build on them.

First one got an eyestalk later on.

>>151207874
That's nice, but an eyestalk has nothing to do with his name or MO and isn't even an original feature.

I actually think Unicorn's costume design wise can work, but maybe some mild color palette tweaks. Perhaps he has an obsession with the rare, "unicorns" of the tech industry, basically hired to steal or destroy game changing tech that can dramatically alter the business. He's the status quo keeper of the tech world.

Though he could use an actual horn. A multitool that can be swapped or changes on the fly, commanded by his thoughts. The joke is that its hands free

>>151207993
He has a magic horn type thing sticking out of his forehead.
His destructive power thebequicaldmt of the magical unicorn hotn

>>151204417 (OP)
I liked what the animated adaptations have done with Unicorn

Really emphasizing the tech helmet and the Carol Danvers helmet hair suits the design pretty well too

>>151208171
Ah yes, the unicorn, known primarily for the fleshy tube ending with an eyeball coming from its forehead.

>>151207993
>First one got an eyestalk later on.
When did that happen? Did someone just get confused between different iterations of Unicorn?

>>151208171
This pic was definitely the second Unicorn.

>>151208307
Absolutely. I love the Armored Adventures design. It's kinda of Guyver-esque. Tony's villains should all be some kind of cybernetic-knight or tech dragon.

>>151208307
>>151208474
giving blizzard a sick catchphrase and a heavily armored cryogenic suit really turned him from B-lister to one of the coolest, no pun intended, bad guys

>>151208307

>>151208489
These designs are crap.

>>151208489
This just makes him look like discount Mr. Freeze. The Comic Sans doesn’t help.
