Hidden Villain: Difference between revisions

Line 35:

** In the iconic ''Amazing Spider-Man #50'', Spidey at first believes his foe - who has stolen medicine needed to cure Aunt May of radiation sickness - is "the Master Planner", a criminal mastermind who has been making a name for himself in New York; eventually, he learns that the Master Planner is none other than his old foe, Dr. Octopus.

** It is not revealed until the finale of the Clone Saga that the [[Big Bad]] behind it all is long-thought-dead villain [[Norman Osborn]].

* Back in ''[[The Golden Age of Comic Books]]'', [[Shazam|Captain Marvel's]] foe Mr. Mind was this in the storyline where he was introduced. For a full two years (real time) everyone believed this [[Evil Genius]] directing the actions of the Monster Society of Evil (and most of the Nazis, Adolf Hitler himself his [[Unwitting Pawn]]) was a human villain, when in fact, he was a super-intelligent alien worm. There's even one well-known hilarious scheme where the the hero shoos away a worm that landed on his shoulder, as it's distracting him from investigating the villain's scheme, not [[Beneath Notice|considering that the worm might be the villain himself.]]
