*** Issues #34-37: [[AristocratsAreEvil Belaric Marcosa]] was a shockingly dark villain for even a 70s [[UsefulNotes/TheBronzeAgeOfComicBooks Bronze Age]] Marvel horror series. In life, Marcosa lured victims to his manor to use dark sorcery to drive them into "lewd depravity" before he sucked their lives and souls out before having them murder one another for his amusement. He then [[YourSoulIsMine kept their souls trapped in his manor]]. After his death, Marcosa had more victims lured to the manor so he could torture them as well, playing dark mind games and driving his victims to distrust and murder one another before revealing himself and attempting to add their souls to his collection.

Added DiffLines:

* DesignatedEvil: Dr. Kalbfleisch and the Babylon Group from the MAX series were presumably supposed to come off as wholly evil because of what they were doing to "inter-species" people, imprisoning them and placing some of them in medically-induced comas in order to contain them and also to study them for medical research, but the narrative shoots itself in the foot by having the only "inter-species" people (Jack, Jenny, and two unnamed ones) who are actual characters and not just set dressing be nigh-uncontrollable killing machines; Jack, despite being the hero, still murdered a bunch of people as a wolfman before building his own containment cell, and Jenny, despite being portrayed sympathetically, still slaughtered an entire town when her powers manifested for the first time in 1983. So the Babylon Group does not come off as extreme as it was probably intended to be due to the only "inter-species" people that it was shown dealing with being ones with little to no control over being ferocious [[OneManArmy One Man Armies]] who, when it came to Jenny and the vampire-looking man, were also cases of EatsBabies.


* AcceptableTargets:
** Hippies and longhairs. "Okay, buster – hands ''off'' him! Even if he ''is'' a hippie, I can't let you—" says the cop to the villain before he is swatted aside.
** Also, Sarnak and especially his henchman Tatterdemalion rely a lot on the idea that CrazyHomelessPeople are gross and dangerous.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodLineArt:
** The entirety of volume 1 has been reprinted as part of the ''Marvel Essentials'' line. These omnibuses are in black and white, and as such do not have the spotty, flat, and undetailed coloring of the 1970s. This gives the expressive and detailed linework, most notablity that of Mike Ploog and Yong Montaño, the chance to truly shine.
** Some re-released comics, such as ''[=WbN=]'' v1 #25 reprinted in ''Moon Knight'' v3 #30, are recolored digitally, in gaudy colors that appear to be chosen randomly: magenta skies, purple blood, blue palm trees and walls that change from purple to red to grey in a single page are everywhere.
