Evil Cripple: Difference between revisions
→Comic Books
Line 38:
* Professor Xavier from ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' when he goes evil.
** The X-Men have also faced a Japanese cripple mutated by the atomic bombings, who tried to take revenge on the team for not being freakish like him.
* [[Spider-Man]] villains:
** [[The Don| Elderly crime boss Silvermane]] is either wheelchair bound and often on some sort of life support, except the times he's a [[Cyborg]]. There was even a time when he was running his criminal organization while bedridden.
** [[Robot Master| Alistair Smythe]], one of many villains to build the Spider-Slayer robots, was originally unable to walk and wheelchair-bound. However, after enhancing himself with cybernetics to become the Ultimate Spider-Slayer, he became able to walk again, and became strong enough to be a match for Spider-Man on his own.
* And [[MODOK]] in most of his incarnations is in a powered wheelchair.
* Another [[Green Lantern]] foe, Baron Tyrano, is permantly confined to an iron lung.
Line 49 ⟶ 52:
** Another Superman villain, the Ultra-Humanite, is most commonly and most famously shown as an albino gorilla, but he actually began as a mad scientist in a wheelchair. He soon gained the ability to [[Body Swap]] with any person or animal he pleased, however, so he didn't stay crippled for long.
* X-Men villain Apocalypse employed a few of these within his Horsemen, artificially curing their condition as a sort of [[Deal with the Devil]]. The original Horsemen included War, a quadriplegic army veteran confined to an iron lung; Famine, an anorexic teenage girl whose body was morbidly withered by the disorder; and Death, the X-Man Angel who lost his wings.
