| 9 | !!! '''Notable Aliases:''' Lord of the Negative Zone, the Living Death that Walks, Ahmyor |
| 10 | !!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Fantastic Four Annual'' #6 (November 1968) |
| 11 | ->''"I am Annihilus... Lord of the Negative Zone! Annihilus the Living Death That Walks!"'' |
| 12 | |
| 13 | An aggressive, paranoid [[InsectoidAliens Insectoid Alien]] who is the ruler of an alternate dimension known as the Negative Zone. Annihilus is convinced that every other living thing is a potential threat to his life, and that the only way for him to be safe is [[OmnicidalManiac by being the only creature left alive]]. |
| 14 | ---- |
| 15 | * TheAgeless: Continuous exposure to the energies of his Cosmic Rod has slowed his aging, making him virtually immortal. |
| 16 | * AmnesiacDissonance: As an insect-like being, one of his life stages is an attractive human form with no memory (and in fact a righteous disdain towards) his real identity. When he matures into his adult form he shortly forgets that personality too (but not completely, the love he developed for Blink). |
| 17 | * AxCrazy: Extremely unstable, paranoid and aggressive, values his survival above everything else, and is unfortunately convinced everything alive is a danger to him. |
| 18 | * BadBoss: Most infamously in ''ComicBook/{{Annihilation}}'', where he slaughtered an entire part of his fleet because ''it took them too much time to conquer a planet''. |
| 19 | * BigBad: He's usually this when the story is set in the Negative Zone. |
| 20 | ** And, as ''Annihilation'' and the Thanos trilogy by Jim Starlin shows, even stories that aren't. |
| 21 | * BigCreepyCrawlies: He often leads an army of these-- and is an insectoid himself. |
| 22 | * TheConstant: The Negative Zone is a multiversal singularity, meaning all instances of it seen from alternate universes are the same one. Subsequently, this means all Annihilus seen in what-if stories are the same one. |
| 23 | * DependingOnTheWriter: His level of diction can fluctuate, sometimes being typical eloquent ranting, sometimes just hissing snake talk. |
| 24 | * EnemyCivilWar: His feud with fellow Negative Zone conqueror Blastaar. |
| 25 | * EnemyMine: With the Avengers and the Galactic Council during ''Infinity''. He's later forced to work with his rival Blastaar and enemy Nova during ''Annihilation: Scourge''. |
| 26 | * EnergyAbsorption: The Cosmic Control Rod allows Annihilus to drain the energy of others. |
| 27 | * EvilIsBigger: His ''Annihihulk'' form he gained after stealing the power of Hulk is even taller than Thanos. |
| 28 | * EvilOverlord: Of the Negative Zone. |
| 29 | * FantasticRacism: Towards mammals. |
| 30 | * FrickinLaserBeams: Annihilus can shoot destructive energy beams from the Cosmic Control Rod. |
| 31 | * GalacticConqueror: In ''Annihilation'', he decides he is done ruling on the Negative Zone only, and starts an invasion of the Universe. |
| 32 | * HeroKiller: He killed Wendell Vaughn in the opening act of ''Annihilation''. Wendell got better eventually, though. |
| 33 | * HumanoidAbomination: He looks vaguely humanoid, but is in fact an insectoid alien from the Negative Zone who has been made immortal by the powerful rod he is using as a weapon. |
| 34 | * InsectoidAliens: What he really is. |
| 35 | * ItsAllAboutMe: The very reason he is dangerous; Annihilus values his own survival above everything else, and his paranoia causes him to believe pretty much everything is a potential danger to his life. |
| 36 | * JokerImmunity: Has died multiple times, it never sticks. Whenever he is killed his hive just births a new one. |
| 37 | * LargeHam: Extremely loud and bombastic as one would be from the days of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. |
| 38 | * LaughablyEvil: Post ''Annihilation'' he's wavered between creepy and hilarious, partly because of his LargeHam tendencies, and partly because post ''Annihilation'' he's often been depicted as a lesser evil. However, as the TookALevelInBadass entry demonstrates, this does not change the fact that he is a) evil, b) capable of being utterly terrifying. |
| 39 | * LogicalWeakness: Annihilus has a tough outer shell. His organs, meanwhile, are as squishy and vulnerable as anyone else's. Of course, actually getting close enough to Annihilus in order to exploit this is... all but impossible. |
| 40 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Would you seriously like to stay in presence of a guy whose name is derived from the word ''annihilation''? |
| 41 | * NobleDemon: To an extent. He tends to remember his debts and obligations, resurrecting Richard Rider after he saved the Negative Zone from the Cancerverse. |
| 42 | * OmnicidalManiac: Out of paranoid fear that every other living thing is a danger to his life. In ''Annihilation'', his goal is to wipe out the entire universe and rule on the void that will remain. |
| 43 | * PowerGlows: With the Cosmic Control Rod. |
| 44 | * {{Retool}}: Jonathan Hickman's run changes him from an OmnicidalManiac driven by the fear of his death to someone stuck with CompleteImmortality. |
| 45 | * SecondaryColorNemesis: His body is mostly green with purple. |
| 46 | * SpikesOfVillainy: His attire is full of them. |
| 47 | * SuperStrength: Usually depicted as strong enough to knock the Thing around and punch holes in Sue's force fields. In the Annihihulk form in Jim Starlin's OGN trilogy, he gave ''Thanos'' a tough fight. |
| 48 | * TookALevelInBadass: When he adapted the Hulk's transformations, he rises to the level of a cosmic being and his Annihilation Wave became unstoppable. Thanos had to petition the One Above All to make an alternate Adam Warlock a new Living Tribunal to rewrite history so he never achieved such power. |
| 49 | * TheWorfEffect: After becoming ''Annihihulk'', he proceeded to prove his new enhanced strenght by beating the crap out Gladiator (Kallark). |
| 50 | * WingedHumanoid: Notably they're more like a bat's than an insect's. |
| 51 | * ZergRush: Thanos stated that Annihilus is an unskilled tactician, as he is always thinking that the usage of an "overwhelming force" like his Annihilation Wave could solve all of his problems. |

| 73 | |
| 74 | A denizen of the Negative Zone who battles Annihilus frequently and became the king of most of the territories of the Negative Zone. |
| 75 | ---- |
| 76 | * AlwaysSecondBest: In terms of threats from the Negative Zone, he's always going to be behind Annihilus, something he's aware of and just a little tetchy about. |
| 77 | * BadBoss: Blastaar is a ruthless tyrant who punishes dissenters and failure with execution. |
| 78 | * DimensionLord: He claims to be the ruler of the Negative Zone, and often clashes with Annihilus for the title. He also frequently seeks to conquer Earth. |
| 79 | * EnemyMine: Ends up having to work with Annihilus during ''Annihilation: Scourge'' against the Cancerverse. |
| 80 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Blastaar may be a ruthless tyrant, but he wants to ''conquer'' rather than destroy. When he makes the mistake of allying with ComicBook/{{Carnage}} in ''Webspinners: Tales of Spider-Man'', he is disgusted that Cletus would use him to gleefully slaughter trillions. |
| 81 | * HandBlast: His main power is the ability to fire beams of energy from his hands, hence his title: "The Living Bomb-Burst". |
| 82 | * InsistentTerminology: When made "king" of the Negative Zone, he's very fond of reminding everyone he runs into of that fact. |
| 83 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: In a confrontation with Nova, Rich quietly whispers to Blastaar that if he wants to stay king of the Negative Zone and the ceded territories in the main universe, he might want to remember what Rich did to the last person from the Negative Zone he fought (namely, ripped him inside out), then suggests a suitable way out that maintains his dignity and reputation. Blastaar quietly lets Rich go, playing it off as an act of kingly benevolence. |
| 84 | * TheRival: Of Annihilus, having clashed with him for the supremacy of the Negative Zone on several occasions. |
| 85 | * TheStarscream: After ''War of Kings'', he becomes the new ruler of the Negative Zone in Annihilus' and Ravenous' absence, working with the Inhumans. The minute Black Bolt goes missing, he betrays them and tries conquering Hala. He lasts five minutes before the Annihilators beat the stuffing out of him. |

| 95 | |
| 96 | A brilliant and ancient alchemist who was accidentally awoken by the Fantastic Four in their early days and has remained a nuisance ever since. |
| 97 | ---- |
| 98 | * TenMinuteRetirement: He'd decided he'd had enough of supervillainy when his old flame and fellow alchemist Gilded Lily recruited him to take revenge on Alpha Flight. He was [[AllMenArePerverts only motivated]] to help her when she revealed she wanted to [[BodySurf take over]] [[MostCommonSuperpower Aurora's body]]. |
| 99 | * AlchemyIsMagic: Sort of. His alchemy, which can transmute elements through means unknown to modern science, enables him to control his own physical body, the bodies of others, or inorganic matter. |
| 100 | * BadBoss: Not a pleasant guy to work under. |
| 101 | * BiblicalBadGuy: Technically named after the devil, though his actual demonic connotations beyond that are very few. |
| 102 | * CutLexLuthorACheck: Actually addressed in his first appearance: part of his plan involves making a fortune by selling his chemicals to the world. It works, and he becomes very wealthy; however, all of his alchemical compounds break down over time, either reverting their effects or causing something more disastrous to happen. As such, this trope can be considered justified in Diablo's case. |
| 103 | ** At one time he took over a Central American country by making [[{{Unobtanium}} vibranium]] for them, planning to cash in on its export. This actually drew the attention of the United Nations, who were willing to deal, but Canada dissented, and sent in ComicBook/AlphaFlight to stop Diablo and expose his scheme, which they did. |
| 104 | * DealWithTheDevil: Made a deal with Mephisto for [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld his elongated life]]. |
| 105 | * ManipulativeBastard: Underplayed compared to other FF villains, but he is quite the clever schemer, often working through manipulated proxies when he can. |
| 106 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He was born in 9th century Spain, and has used his alchemical skills to prolong his life. |
| 107 | * SecondaryColorNemesis: Diablo wears green-and-purple. He animated and commanded a synthetic lifeform called Dragon Man who is sometimes depicted gray with purple pants, and sometimes purple with brown pants. |

| 118 | |
| 119 | Reed Richards' RivalTurnedEvil, and the Fantastic Four's best-known ArchEnemy. Doom was introduced by Creator/StanLee and Creator/JackKirby in ''The Fantastic Four'' #5 (July, 1962) as the ArchEnemy of the ComicBook/FantasticFour. Doom was born in the FictionalCountry of [[{{Ruritania}} Latveria]], the son of UsefulNotes/{{Romani}} witch Cynthia Von Doom. When Cynthia was killed by the demons she had summoned to fight Latverian soldiers, Doom swore revenge. The death of his father, medicine man Werner, caused by the dictator of Latveria only known as the Baron, only added fuel to Doom's desire for revenge. |
| 120 | |
| 121 | After discovering his mother's occult instruments, Doom began to master both magic and technology to seek that revenge, amusing himself by leading the Latverian government on a merry chase while thwarting their attempts to stop him. When word of his exploits inevitably reached the United States, Doom gained the opportunity to study in America. There, Doom had a fateful meeting with Reed Richards, one of the few men on the planet whose intelligence could even approach Doom's, to whom he grew an immediate dislike. Wishing to resurrect his dead mother, Doom constructed a portal to Hell intended to communicate with the dead; however, Richards saw his calculations were slightly off and tried to warn him about the flaw in the machine, but Doom continued on with disastrous results: The device exploded and [[ScarsAreForever damaged his face]]. |
| 122 | |
| 123 | Expelled from the university after the accident, Doom traveled the world until he collapsed on a Tibetan mountainside. Rescued by monks from a mysterious order, Victor quickly mastered the monks' secret disciplines, as well as metallurgy. Doom then forged himself a suit of PoweredArmor, complete with a scowling mask, which he has used (with some modifications) since that day, and took the name Doctor Doom. He succeeded in taking over Latveria, and has since ruled it with an iron fist. Doom's path was soon to once again cross that of Richards, this time along with Richards' family, who became his sworn enemies, but he has also come into conflict with ComicBook/TheAvengers, the ComicBook/XMen, ComicBook/SpiderMan, the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]], ComicBook/IronMan, [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]], ComicBook/LukeCage, and more. |

| 201 | An enigmatic genius inventor who is obsessed with statistical probabilities, who originally supplied his inventions to criminal gangs before coming to the conclusion that he was more suited to TakeOverTheWorld. |
| 202 | ---- |
| 203 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: While no intuitive master manipulator, he can predict most people's actions quite well with sufficient observation and pattern recognition, [[BatmanGambit and act accordingly]]. His one constant foil is Reed Richards, who is not only as smart as himself, but, paradoxically, ''not quite as [[StrawVulcan "rational"]]'', which is why he keeps winning over him. Why, yes, an [[MenAreBetterThanWomen excitable woman]] like Sue Richards or an [[JustAKid immature hothead]] like Johnny Storm will of course act irrationally, that is easy to predict--but a genius like Mr. Fantastic ''must'' make the logical and rational choice in any situation, right? |
| 204 | * BerserkButton: Don't call him "The ''Mad'' Thinker" to his face; its just "The Thinker", thank you very much. Though, in [[WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes some continuities]], he embraces the name. |
| 205 | * ClockKing: His whole shtick. And he is quite good at it. |
| 206 | * CrazyPrepared: It's quite difficult to surprise him, since he plans for every eventuality. Including contingency plans to compensate for incomplete information. |
| 207 | -->'''Thinker:''' I always have a reserve plan, in case I should miscalculate. |
| 208 | * CreativeSterility: His Achilles' heel. He is one of the few geniuses in the Marvel universe brilliant enough to understand Reed Richards's works, and so he can reverse-engineer them with sufficient time and effort... but he cannot ''create'' anything of his own, only reproduce and recombine variants of other people's ideas. |
| 209 | * GadgeteerGenius: Amongst other things, he was the one who created the Awesome Android. |
| 210 | * MadMathematician: His other hat. He once managed to calculate how long it would take the Fantastic Four to invade an enemy fortress, take out the enemies, and escape, and had planted a bomb to go off exactly as they had left the building blowing up their mutual enemy but not the Four. How on Earth did he do that? 10 minutes to go in, factoring in the Human Torch's average temperature of 2000 celcius... carry the 2... divide by 5... leave 2 minutes for electric signals... |
| 211 | * MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll: He spent several years of real time in an ordinary prison cell, but his brain implant enabled him to project his mind into android duplicates, enabling him to enjoy life and go on the occasional crime spree. |
| 212 | * PrescienceByAnalysis: He is the trope image and this trope is one of the things that makes him so dangerous. You would swear that he could see the future with how well he can predict things. |
| 213 | * RobotMaster: What he is, the twist is while he’s a master he is not a maker of robots rather than using other designs and improving on them. |
| 214 | * SpannerInTheWorks: Most of his plans are short-circuited by these. Once, his whole scheme was foiled because he failed to take in account the Fantastic Four's ''mailman''. |
| 215 | * TheSpook: To this day, no-one is clear who exactly he was before he became a super-villain, or what his origins are. We have only his word on it, but apparently he used to work in a high-functioning job in the private sector. |

That plan failed because the Puppet Master turned on them. The remaining two villains went back to the drawing board, and the Wizard observed Franklin using his powers while watching security footage. Learning of Franklin's abilities led to the following exchange: |
| 219 | -->'''Wizard''': I'm certain we can exploit this knowledge, and use Richards' ''own son against him'' in our next attempt to destroy the Fantastic Four! |
| 220 | -->'''Thinker''': ''NO!'' According to my calculations, any such plan would have a 97% chance of resulting in the death of the child! |
| 221 | -->'''Wizard''': Why should that concern you? |
| 222 | -->'''Thinker''': I may have reason to hate the Fantastic Four, but that doesn't mean that I would willingly participate in the murder of an innocent child! |
| 223 | -->'''Wizard''': You're getting soft in your old age, Thinker! I don't care ''who'' has to die, as long as I get my revenge! |
| 224 | -->'''Thinker''': If that's your position, there is no longer any need to continue this conversation! Our partnership is concluded! Good day, sir! |

You can't even think of them as behaving human--that's thinking too small... They are larger than that, bigger than that... They exist above other men because they were born that way. Authority began at the cradle, you see. Their very idea of morality is different than what you are used to. The people--their people--expect them to do violence to ensure a certain amount of peace and prosperity. And like gods, they are also expected to commit murder... So the people can sleep at night knowing they are protected."'' |

| 255 | !!! '''Alter Ego:''' Harvey Rupert Elder |
| 256 | !!! '''Notable Aliases:''' Dr. Wrong |
| 257 | !!! '''First Appearance:''' ''[[ComicBook/FantasticFourNumber1 The Fantastic Four]]'' [[ComicBook/FantasticFourNumber1 #1]] (November 1961) |
| 258 | ->''"Soon... all of mankind shall be sightless... unable to stop the Mole Man from conquering the entire planet!"'' |
| 259 | |
| 260 | The very first supervillain that the Fantastic Four fought upon gaining their powers. Born a surface-dweller, Harvey Elder became obsessed with discovering a subterranean society. He found one in the Moloids, a slave race genetically engineered by the Deviants, the offshoot race of [[ComicBook/TheEternals Eternals]], and found the means to control many of the monstrous Deviant Mutates that also lived underground. But finding acceptance as the Moloids' leader was not enough for him, and he soon sought revenge against the surface world that shunned him. |
| 261 | ---- |
| 262 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Became bitter because people used to tease him about his ugly appearance. So bitter, in fact, he left civilisation itself to get away from the taunting. |
| 263 | * BadassBookworm: He is a former nuclear engineer, with genius-level intellect and knowledge of technology centuries beyond conventional science. Also happens to be a skilled hand-to-hand fighter when using a staff. |
| 264 | * DisabilitySuperpower: Toned down; he isn't technically blind, but his sight is still damaged, forcing him to wear a pair of special glasses to stand even normal illumination. As a compensation, all his other senses have heightened to nearly superhuman levels. |
| 265 | * TheEmperor: Evokes this during ''Rings of The Mandarin'', when he begins wearing a crown and wielding a scepter. |
| 266 | * GravityMaster: Had this power when he wielded the Mandarin's Daimonic ring. |
| 267 | * ForcedTransformation: Discovers an extract from the diamonds in the Valley of Diamonds that he believes transforms appearances to ones antithesis after an old women is turned beautiful and young. Turns out it [[KarmicTransformation changes your appearance to your character]] and when he falls into a vat of it he turns into an actual mole. It's temporary as he's back to normal by next appearance. |
| 268 | * HeelFaceTurn: Sort of; at some point, he reformed, tried assembling a sanctuary to help those rejected from the Surface World, and later allowed a super-hero team, the Infinity Watch, to use a castle located on his territory as a base. In later years, he started taking a villainous role again, but then his motives made him more of a WellIntentionedExtremist. |
| 269 | * AHeroToHisHometown: His constituents at least respect him, and willingly follow him in his attacks against the outside world, which they believe he leads for their own benefit. |
| 270 | * MoleMen: Ironically, he isn't one himself (just a disfigured old man), but his Moloids fit the trope like a glove. |
| 271 | * ParentalNeglect: Sired an actual mole man deemed Mole Monster with a Deviant woman he met in his early days underground. He also apparently immediately left them, which his son concedes isn't uncommon among Deviants anyway. |
| 272 | * PragmaticVillainy: Well, he technically was more or less reformed at that point, but his motives to provide a base for the Infinity Watch weren't entirely selfless; he was hoping their presence would protect him from any meddlers. Considering they indeed ended up doing so several times, including driving away an invasion from ''the United Nations'', and this led to the Avengers recognizing his rulership over Monster Island, it can be said he was right. |
| 273 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: During his time as leader of the Ten Rings (supervillains who wielded the Mandarin's newly sentient Makulan Power Rings), after watching his fellow Ringbearers fall in battle, he is told that he is now the [[YouAreInCommandNow primary heir to the Mandarin's legacy]]. He immediately ditches the ring and flees while Iron Man recovers it. |
| 274 | * ServantRace: His moloids. |
| 275 | * SuperSenses: At the very least has developed a radar sense similar to the Daredevil to compensate living underground. |
| 276 | * YouAreNumberSix: His Ten Rings designation is Mandarin Six. |

| 282 | !!! '''Alter Ego:''' Owen Reece |
| 283 | !!! '''Notable Aliases:''' |
| 284 | !!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Fantastic Four'' #20 (November 1963) |
| 285 | ->''"All the pieces are coming together. All the things we've built will son be crumbling down. Because they're out there... Waiting. The Ivory Kings. The Beyonders... And how can we defeat them? We cogs in their well-oiled apocalypse machine? For it takes a God to kill a God."'' |
| 286 | |
| 287 | A meek technician caught in a FreakLabAccident, giving him the power to manipulate the molecules of all non-living matter (later revealed to be ''all'' matter, yet placed mental blocks on himself). In his first appearance, he sought to take over the world, and easily defeated the Fantastic Four, yet was captured by Uatu and sent to another dimension so that he could never menace the world again. Later came back as a wand (his body had long expired in this dimension), possessing all those who held onto it, including at some point, Iron Man and Mr. Fantastic. Later regained a body, and took part in the ''ComicBook/{{Secret Wars|1984}}'', as Doctor Doom's right-hand man. When Doom absorbed the Beyonder's powers, he revealed the limitations he placed on himself, and removed them, giving the Molecule Man a new-found confidence, and he returned with all the supervillains back to Earth under his own power, later forgoing the life of a supervillain altogether to live with Marsha Rosenberg (aka Volcana) who he met during this time. When the Beyonder came to Earth in ''ComicBook/SecretWarsII'', he fought him off, but later merged with him before returning to Earth as himself. An on-and-off again supervillain, the Molecule Man is among the most powerful opponents the Four have ever faced. |
| 288 | ---- |
| 289 | * AddedAlliterativeAppeal: At one point admits the alliterative codename "Molecule Man" is just for fun and doesn't actually do his sheer power justice. "Atom Man" is a little more accurate, but it's boring and even then, it doesn't fully indicate his power. He then lists "Proton Man", Superstring Man", and even "Narrative Man" as names closest to describing his abilities. |
| 290 | * AffablyEvil: When he's on his good days, he's not such a bad guy. When [[Characters/MarvelComicsMilesMorales Miles Morales]] handed him [[ItMakesSenseInContext a (week-old) cheeseburger]] in ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'', he restored the multiverse...and revived his deceased mother in gratitude. Since then, he's more or less pulled a HeelFaceTurn - he's been largely retired, takes the time to warn Galactus of those out to get him, and is genuinely pleased to see the FF again when he returns from the NotQuiteDead. |
| 291 | * CharacterDeath: Killed by Griever at the End of All Things in the second issue of the 2018 series. It didn't stick, and he turned up near the end of the same series, having shrunk down into the Microverse to survive. |
| 292 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Particularly in recent times. |
| 293 | * TheConstant: The Beyonders placed an Owen Reece into every reality as a cascading detonation mechanism in their experiment to collapse the multiverse into a singularity. After the reconstruction, he duplicates himself into each newly created reality. |
| 294 | * ContinuitySnarl: When it came out that he and the Beyonder were actually living halves of a cosmic cube who then fused together into one that became its own being. Then they just... stopped being that and apparently the Beyonder is a mutant inhuman. Now he's a living failsafe installed in every universe by the Beyonder''s''. |
| 295 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Wasn't very competent at first, but this turned out to be because his deep-rooted self-esteem issues limited his power. Once he gains more confidence, his badass side comes out. How badass? He's one of the most powerful beings in the ''multiverse''. |
| 296 | * TheDreaded: Freaking ''Uatu the Watcher'' personally stepped in when the Molecule Man made his presence known for the first time, and locked him in a dimension that had [[YearInsideHourOutside time out of sync with ours]] because he was that much of a threat to the universe. None other than ''ComicBook/{{Galactus}}'', ascended to his Lifebringer self, said that if he ever felt like it, Reece could end him with a stray thought. Even Doom, who treats his fellow supervillains like crap and beneath, treats Owen with the appropriate amount of respect... sort of. |
| 297 | * FaceHeelRevolvingDoor: Currently on the Face side... sort of. |
| 298 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: One day, he wants to take over the world, yet feels insecure in front of guys like Norman Osborn and Doctor Doom. Men who, mind you, he could easily vaporize if he wanted to. |
| 299 | * LoveRedeems: His crush on Tigra, and relationship with Volcana made him a lot nicer as a person, to the point that he did away with supervillainy altogether for a time. |
| 300 | * NoNameGiven: In his first appearance, to emphasise the point of being a nobody who's become all-powerful. |
| 301 | * PetTheDog: Miles Morales gave him some food and as a reward Reece brought Miles' mom back from the dead. |
| 302 | * PhysicalGod: Fortunately, all those who realize it are safe in the knowledge that he ''doesn't''. Until he does. |
| 303 | * PowerfulButIncompetent: He has the power to transmutate anything into anything else and telepathically control his creations, and yet for much of his history he was only a minor ComicBook/FantasticFour villain because he lacked imagination, intelligence, and a killing instinct. If he was actually competent he'd be one of the biggest threats in the world. As it turns out, he's actually a universal, even multiversal, scale threat once he realises what he's truly capable of, one that a post-ascension Galactus treads ''very lightly'' around. |
| 304 | * PowerLimiter: His confidence issues are what holds back the Molecule Man's full potential, to the point that he at first, felt he needed a wand to focus his powers. Even though he grew out of it, it remained restricted to non-living matter. Even so, he could still erect barriers across all of New York City (Even the Invisible Woman strained when she erected one across Manhattan), and lift a ''150 billion ton mountain''. Without this block, he's easily among the most powerful beings among the Marvel Universe, with Galactus' internal monologue in ''ComicBook/TheUltimates2015'' noting that Reece could end him with a stray thought. |
| 305 | * RealityWarper: Notes in ''ComicBook/TheUltimates2015'' that his name isn't exactly accurate - he's gone from molecules, to atoms, to protons, quarks, quantum-strings, and now, perhaps, he's 'Narrative Man'. |
| 306 | * RetiredBadass: Post ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'', he's claimed that he's now retired. |
| 307 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: Became an enemy of Iron Man, and the Avengers in general. Honestly, with a bad guy this powerful, it's not surprising. |
| 308 | * SealedEvilInACan: When his consciousness was trapped in a wand. |
| 309 | * SecondaryColorNemesis: His default outfit is purple and green. |
| 310 | * StoryBreakerPower: If he ever got serious, and got over the issues he has, he could own even Galactus with a stray thought, and even take on the Celestials. This man, supervillain or hero, could pretty much end all conflict in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, and no-one (except maybe White Crown Phoenix) could stop him. It's quite fortunate that most of the time, he just wants to be left alone to kick back and relax. |
| 311 | * SuperLoser: Once fought with the Beyonder, in a clash that [[ApocalypseHow could've destroyed the universe]], because he blamed him ''for his relationship issues with his girlfriend''. |
| 312 | * TouchedByVorlons: His initial backstory was a FreakLabAccident opening a pinhole into the Beyonder's dimension and infusing him with the same omnipotent energy that goes into cosmic cubes. |
| 313 | * WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Downplayed. His issues were already there when he got his powers - they only magnified them. If anything, [[SanityHasAdvantages when he's more stable, he pulls off better feats]]. In ''[[ComicBook/TheAvengersJonathanHickman New Avengers]]'', it's revealed that this was deliberate on the part of the Beyonders - as Molecule Men across the multiverse would go insane eventually, and when detonate - annihilating their respective universes. |

| 323 | |
| 324 | Former chief scientist on Traan, a planet in the Microverse. He traveled to Earth to conquer the planet with his psycho ray. He remains a constant foe for the Fantastic Four. |
| 325 | ---- |
| 326 | * AliensAreBastards: He sees little wrong in using his emotion controlling powers on other beings and thinks little of others. |
| 327 | * AlienInvasion: His debut story has him wanting to conquer the Earth.He often uses his emotion controlling powers to get humans to work as his minions. So far he's never shown bringing an army with him, only providing weapons to humans who have sworn allegiance to him. |
| 328 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: He's the one who turned the then Invisible Girl into Malice and had her attack the rest of the Fantastic Four. She WAS NOT happy about this and the FF later went to confront him in the Microverse. See HoistByHisOwnPetard for the end results. |
| 329 | * CripplingOverspecialization: Invoked; while the Psycho-Man is very skilled at manipulating emotion, his knowledge of other sciences is relatively basic. This was most keenly shown when he tried to claim that he had manipulated the dimensional transference that allowed the FF to enter his universe so that they arrived smaller than usual; Reed compared his description of how he interfered with the transfer to the idea of claiming that it was possible to divert a plane flying overhead by building a brick wall underneath its flight path. |
| 330 | * EmotionControl: What he is mainly known for. He carries a control box that allows him to generate one of 3 emotions in other beings: Fear, Hate, or Doubt. He can control how much he creates in a lifeform, though usually enough to give them a hard time. He's powerful enough that the She-Hulk acted like a frightened little girl when under his power. |
| 331 | * EmperorScientist: He controls a portion of the Microverse as its ruler. He has access to wide variety of technology, from teleporters and robotics to giving ordinary humans small ray guns that can give even the Thing pause when caught off guard. |
| 332 | * HoistbyHisOwnPetard: Susan Storm WAS NOT happy he brainwashed her into becoming Malice. After she corners him, she turns his Control Box on him and turns on ALL THREE emotions at the same time. DependingOnTheWriter, he's never fully recovered from this moment. Susan then renames herself the Invisible Woman, no longer being the Invisible Girl any more. |
| 333 | * MobileSuitHuman: Rather than fully enlarge himself to full human size, he usually makes himself the same size as an insect on Earth and then builds a large exact replica of his body for him to pilot and interact with Earthlings. Should he be captured, he simply leaves the robot behind. |
| 334 | ** In the Malice story, he does this even in the Microverse, complete with a giant stage so he could trick the Fantastic Four into thinking they shrank themselves too much. Reed eventually figures it out and yanks him out of the robot. It only got worse for him from there. |
| 335 | * SizeShifter: He's actually from the Microverse, so he enlarges himself to interact with humans. And even then, he is still an insect-sized man in a human-sized robot that he pilots on Earth. |

| 345 | |
| 346 | Born in Transia and once childhood friends with [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Jessica Drew]], Phillip Masters became obsessed with making dolls of the clay he found near the base of Wundagore Mountain. Emigrating to America at a young age and subsequently placed in an orphanage, his obsession with his special (and radioactive) clay grew. An attempt to develop it for market backfired due to Phillip's jealousy toward his business partner, who would die in a lab explosion. Masters would then marry his partner's widow and adopt their daughter Alicia, who had been blinded by the same explosion. But the death of his wife proved to be the final straw for his sanity, and after securing more clay from his homeland he began his life of crime as the Puppet Master. |
| 347 | ---- |
| 348 | * BaldOfEvil: Just look at the pic. |
| 349 | * DoingInTheScientist: His puppets' powers were originally explained as being due to their [[RadiationInducedSuperpowers radioactivity]]. Apparently realizing how implausible that sounded, even by comic book logic, later stories attributed it to being [[LeakingCanOfEvil infused with magic from proximity]] to the base of Wundagore Mountain. |
| 350 | * DudeLooksLikeALady: At least, ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} thinks so. |
| 351 | * EvilParentsWantGoodKids: In Dan Slott's run, where Alicia picked up a bad habit of using his mind controlling puppets to smooth over conflict, he mind controls someone to warn her away from this path. |
| 352 | * KnightTemplarParent: Let's just say he ''really'' doesn't approve of his stepdaughter dating the Thing, though he seems to have become reconciled to it. |
| 353 | * MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: Alicia Masters is his daughter and has drawn many suitors. |
| 354 | * PeoplePuppets: His powers allow him to make puppets out of radioactive clay, which he can then use to control people. |

His first fight with the FF, which took place on the Moon, led to the introduction of Uatu the Watcher. |

| 370 | * EvilCounterpart: Red Ghost deliberately exposed himself and his Super Apes to cosmic rays to give them powers to rival the Fantastic Four. |
| 371 | * {{Intangibility}}: Red Ghost's super power. Through concentration, he can achieve different degrees of intangibility and can even become like a diffuse mist. He can become transparent or invisible when in intangible form, to the extent that sensitive equipment of Reed Richards was unable to detect him hiding over several days. The Red Ghost can alter the tangibility of parts of his body independently of each other. Thus he can hold a weapon in his hand while the rest of his body is intangible. While he is intangible, his body metabolism enables him to go without eating or without breathing for extended periods of time. |
