BYJESSE SCHEDEENThe Marvel Universe is home to some of the greatest heroes in pop

culture. Unfortunately for said heroes, it's also home to countless villains who crave power,

glory, money, and whatever else it is that gets a bad guy out of bed in the morning. And as

we've seen over the decades, some villains aren't content to work alone. nstead, they form

alliances and organi!ations dedicated to spreading their particular brand of evil across the

globe.

their inventions.

Mo#( Ev!l A,(' The worst of A..M.'s numerous creations is the #osmic #ube. This device

allows the wielder to make thoughts and wishes into reality, so long as it's charged up by

sacrificing living beings. The #ube's power has been regularly abused by villains like ed

Avengers, hardened villains dressed up in the costumes of famous heroes to make them

more marketable. n every incarnation, -.A.M.M.4.. is devoted to usurping power by

preying on the public's fears and mistrust.

Mo#( Ev!l A,('After consolidating his power during the course of the ark eign storyline,

&sborn manipulated his way into launching an all2out war against Asgard 7which at the time

was floating over a remote &klahoma town called Bro3ton9. The resulting battle left both

Asgard and Bro3ton in ruins. Men and gods alike were killed in the destruction, and the

;oid was unleashed upon the world. And even though &sborn was eventually discredited

and arrested, it wouldn't be the end of his -.A.M.M.4.. empire.

corrupted by supernatural forces and evolved into one of the most feared mercenary

groups in the Marvel Universe. The nin>a of the -and use their impressive fighting skills to

seek power and wealth for their organi!ation. Using their black magic, the -and can create

an almost limitless army of undead, brainwashed minions. Much like an actual hand, this

group has many fingers that often work independently of one another.

Mo#( Ev!l A,(' The -and is often a threat to heroes like aredevil, but it became a global

force of villainy under :orgon's leadership. After forming an alliance with -ydra, :orgon

began systematically killing heroes and resurrecting them as -and !ombies, including A2

most powerful individuals in the world. 5hile most -ellfire #lub members are content to live

hedonistic lifestyles, the #lub's nner #ircle are more ambitious in their pursuit of power and

wealth. amed after the pieces on a chess board, the nner #ircle, these mutant villains

think nothing of manipulating their own kind for personal gain.

Mo#( Ev!l A,(' 5hile the -ellfire #lub are never shy about selling out mutantkind for their

defend the planet from threats too large and grim for public superhero teams to manage.

#urrently, their overarching mission is to prevent the universe from being destroyed by the

phenomenon known as 5orld ncursions.

seen many incarnations over the years, their goal is always to overwhelm 4arth's Mightiest

can be when his strategic mind is put to use. -e and his minions systematically dismantled

the Avengers through a combination of physical and psychological attacks. Before the end,

the Masters managed to invade Avengers Mansion and even committed a ma>or fau3 pas

by torturing =arvis the butler. t was an attack that remains one of the Avengers' most

crushing defeats.
