Non-Action Big Bad: Difference between revisions

Line 40:

** [[Mad Scientist]] and underworld supplier the Tinkerer is an old man with no fighting skills. The same can be said for Jonas Harrow, who's a [[Dirty Coward]] on top of it. (Ironically, Harrow was a one-time suspect for the Hobgoblin's identity.)

** The Kingpin is interesting in that he is a very strong and skilled fighter but is usually in the mob boss role. In his earliest appearances, he had legitimate [[Super Strength]] and could fight guys like Spider-Man and even overpower them. Once he became a [[Daredevil]] villain, he was brought down a peg or two and less likely to fight Spider-Man. Instead, when he shows up in Spidey's books now, he is usually employing supervillains to do his dirty work for him.

** Fortunado is a crime boss who, at one time, filled the [[Evil Power Vacuum]] left by the Kingpin. While ~~portrayed~~ as a competent fighter in his youth, he's an old man at present whose physical skills have degenerated.

** Fortunado is a crime boss who, at one time, filled the [[Evil Power Vacuum]] left by the Kingpin. While [[flashback]] stories portray him as a competent fighter in his youth, he's an old man at present whose physical skills have degenerated.

** Silvermane is this when not a cyborg; usually he's running his criminal organization from a wheelchair, being a half-crippled. In one storyline he was even running his organization while bedridden.
