Line 26:
** Also, most masterminds would consider the day they successfully conquered a planet as the crowning moment of their career. Doom calls it Thursday.
** Interestingly enough, the one main trait of a [[Magnificent Bastard]] that Doom subverts is a lack of pettiness. Doom's main purpose in life is his [[Disproportionate Retribution|completely]] [[Minor Injury Overreaction|petty]] [[Green-Eyed Monster|jealous]] [[Arch Enemy|grudge]] against Reed Richards; he just pursues it in such a grand-scale, [[Memetic Badass|badass]] and [[Large Ham|hammy]] manner that he appears to be the epitome of this trope. Ditto for Lex Luthor.
* The Kingpin, also part of the [[Marvel Comics|Marvel Universe]], until the "Last Rites" storyline. He was a major enemy of both [[Daredevil]] and [[Spider-Man]], yet for the most part avoided being shut down by either and when they do succeed in bringing him down, he always find a way to climb back to the top
** As of the end of the ''Shadowland'' arc he's returned to this status in a big way.
* [[Sub-Mariner|Namor]], the Marvel king of Atlantis and on again off again super villain can pull this off on occasion. Like when he joined the heroic "Illuminati" of Iron Man and Mr.Fantastic, and the villainous Illuminati of Doom and Norman Osborn immediately after.
