Magnificent Bastard/Comic Books: Difference between revisions

** To illustrate that point, during the [[Dark Reign]] storyline, Norman Osborn tried to turn Banner(who had been [[Brought Down to Badass]]) back into the Hulk, because he felt that Banner was more of a threat to his plans than the Hulk could ever be.

* A somewhat obscure one, but recurring Cenobite [[Faux Affably Evil|Hunger]] the ''[[Hellraiser]]'' comics by Epic.

** In issue #1 alone, he {{spoiler|comes back from the dead to mind-control two cops into shooting each other, beats [[Booster Gold]] half to death with a pipe, infuses himself with the blood of a small army of random extras, wipes the memory of his existence from the minds of *everyone in the entire world* (except our small band of plucky heroes)}}, and rounds it all off with a glass of claret and a cigar on the battlements of Checkmate HQ. Magnificent.

* [[Sin City]] is filled with manipulation but Dwight McCarthy is probably at the top of the heap. To give you an idea, in his first storyarc, he was on the run form the cops, severely wounded, had no place to go, and had the Old Town girls ready to kick him out of the neighborhood or be killed by Miho. After about one page of dialogue, he got Miho on his side and had the Old Town girls not only giving him shelter but helping him get revenge on the [[Big Bad]].
