You can't have Galactus, Dark Phoenix, etc. A lot of villains are really just guys who NEED time to prepare or they are overpowered. I mean Lex Luthor? Does he get his armor? Arcade? Does he get a funhouse or is he fighting hand to hand (because that would be a waste of time)? It just makes little sense in the end and there's an even bigger gap in equality and different "forms," than there are in heroes.



I think there are a lot of usable villains, just a lot that aren't usable. Guys like Lex Luthor aren't viable in this type of tournament at one end of the spectrum and guys like Galactus or Thanos aren't viable at the other end of the spectrum. But there are plenty of General Zods, Magnetos, etc.


Marvel Villains like:

Magneto
Ultron
Onslaught
Abomination
Venom
Mystique
Sandman
Absorbing Man
Juggernaut
Dr. Doom
Loki
Emma Frost
Pyro
Zadkiel
Terrax the Tamer
Wendigo
Shiva
Master Pandemonium
Lady Mastermind
N'astirh
Living Monolith

Agree and disagree. For some of those guys it's like leaving Superman out. As much as we wanted to do it, it just didn't feel right (and same for Batman, for different reasons, but instead of leaving him out, we really rigged the tournament away from his strengths.).
