Two Ghost Riders vs. the coolest villain team of all time. And during their fight, Trull abandons his mighty steamshovel form to possess a giant chainsaw on wheels.

* ''[[Nick Fury]]'s Howling Commandos'' are a [[Monster Mash]] special forces team that has at one point or another included practically every monster in Marvel's publishing history; The team the miniseries revolves around includes Warwolf, N'Kantu the Living Mummy, a clone of the original Frankenstein's Monster (this is remarked on as making absolutely zero sense), the half-vampire half-werewolf debutante Vampire By Night, the mysterious and slow-witted zombie John Doe, swamp monster the Glob, Gorilla Man, and Brother Voodoo. Marvel's resident gillman, Manphibian was absent. This is being rectified in the Frankencastle arc of ''[[The Punisher]]'', where a [[Frankensteins Monster]] Punisher teams up with N'Kantu, Manphibian, Werewolf by Night, and Morbius to be cool.

It's been pointed out before that Nazi supervillains have been done, evil bees have been done, people ''made'' out of evil bees have been done - but somehow, ''a Nazi made of bees'' is more awesome than it has any right to be.
