| 333 | * ClothesMakeTheSuperman: His suit uses gravity-pump circuitry to allow him to manipulate photons. |
| 334 | * HardLight: Lightmaster uses solid light to make hammers, sharp axes, and concussive bursts. He can also use it to fly. |
| 335 | * IBelieveICanFly: Flies by harnessing the energy of photons (somehow). |
| 336 | * LightEmUp: All of his powers derive from the manipulation of photons. |

| 339 | !!Multiversal Masters of Evil |
| 340 | [[folder:The team in general]] |
| 341 | |
| 342 | Since the dawn of life on Earth, the demon [[Characters/MarvelComicsDemons Mephisto]] has tried to claim the souls of humanity for his own dark realm. And time and time again, he has been thwarted by the bravest and most heroic souls our world has to offer -- his earliest foes being [[Characters/Avengers1000000BC the Avengers of 1,000,000 BC.]] But now, thanks to the power of the vast Multiverse, Mephisto has returned with his greatest scheme yet, assembling a dark cabal of variants of the Avengers' most dangerous and deadly foes in an attempt to wipe the heroes from the fabric of reality, rendering Earth defenseless against the forces of Hell. |
| 343 | ---- |
| 344 | * AllianceOfAlternates: A variation, the Multiversal Masters of Evil are an alliance between an alternate version of each particular member of the team. |
| 345 | * BigBad: This incarnation of the Masters of Evil is led by Mephisto, with an alternate version of Howard Stark as [[TheDragon his herald and personal aide.]] |
| 346 | * CardCarryingVillain: This is perhaps the most evil incarnation of the Masters of Evil yet, almost all of them are absolute monsters and the ones who aren't are still extremely evil |
| 347 | * GodzillaThreshold: The team was formed by Mephisto as a group with enough power to destroy the Prehistoric Avengers, who are easily one of the most powerful Avengers team to ever exist. Putting this team together is a risk as the members are capable of defying Mephisto and the leader Doom Supreme has his own agenda. |
| 348 | * OneExtraMember: The team actually has a few allies and cronies to top up their numbers (and it's a good thing as otherwise the Prehistoric Avengers would outnumber them). Dark Phoenix has a Thor and Wolverine under her control plus the team has some backing from Mephisto and Howard Stark. |
| 349 | * SerialKillingsSpecificTarget: Unknown to the contemporary Avengers, this team is specifically gunning for the Prehistoric Avengers-616. In the meantime, they're busy killing [[HarbingerOfImpendingDoom Deathloks to prevent warning]] as well as other Prehistoric Avengers teams, innocents caught in the crossfire and also attacking the mainline Avengers themselves. |
| 350 | * TooPowerfulToLive: This is a team of beings who have conquered or destroyed whole planets. Against them, the Avengers held almost nothing back -- including being willing to execute them. By the end, the Multiversal Masters had only one surviving member. |
| 351 | [[/folder]] |
| 352 | |
| 353 | [[folder:Doom Supreme]] |
| 354 | |
| 355 | The leader of the Multiversal Masters, Doom Supreme is a version of Victor Von Doom utterly devoid of his usual morality or honor. Having murdered the one person he cared about the most in his reality and used their flesh to augment his own armor, this Doom became the most powerful sorcerer in his own dimension, and now seeks to conquer the entire Multiverse. |
| 356 | ---- |
| 357 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Avenger Prime looks to be the superior Sorceror Supreme between the two of them. Besides Doom not ever doing anything that can match Loki's deed of killing everyone in his universe, Loki easily countered most of Doom's attacks despite Loki not using his full power while Doom went all out. Doom did get a few minor hits in but that's with Loki distracted by having to shield the other Avengers. |
| 358 | * TheArchmage: The most powerful sorcerer in his universe and its reigning Sorcerer Supreme, he uses magic so powerful that they're capable of killing a Celestial. |
| 359 | * BrownNoteBeing: This Doom's facial scars are so bad, they can mentally break people, including other Dooms, which is how he makes them his disciples. |
| 360 | * CallBack: Doom Supreme's magical skin-suit armor actually originates from the "Unforgivable" arc of [[Creator/MarkWaid Mark Waid's]] Fantastic Four, in which 616!Doom tried the exact same thing in order to defeat his hated enemy Reed Richards once and for all. However, while the main universe Doom considered this a MoralEventHorizon and hasn't done anything that heinous since out of regret for his actions, this version of Doom had no such reservations, and in fact only grew more vicious and depraved with time. |
| 361 | * CorruptedCharacterCopy: [[{{DownplayedTrope}} Downplayed,]] as he's a variant of Doctor Doom, a pretty well-known supervillain. However, Doom Supreme possesses none of 616!Doom's redeeming qualities, least of all that 616!Doom would never willingly serve Mephisto. |
| 362 | * EquivalentExchange: He defies the whole "magic comes with a price" by deferring its cost to involuntary debt-holders. Since his magic is both powerful and horrific in nature, the ones paying his price really get screwed over. |
| 363 | * HumanResources: He obtained his immense magical powers by sacrificing the one person he loved the most, and using her flayed skin to augment his armor. |
| 364 | * ImAHumanitarian: Victor has a penchant for eating body parts from people he's killed or captured. The Orb and Agamotto both had eyes go down Victor's belly. |
| 365 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Doom Supreme cares little for Mephisto's grand schemes, nor for his teammates' petty ambitions. All he cares about is conquering the Multiverse and proving himself as the one true Doctor Doom. |
| 366 | * MadScientist: Downplayed, while he still has his PoweredArmor -- he so far hasn't used any weapon system from it and all his actions so far have been sorcerous. The scientist role for this team instead goes to Young Thanos. |
| 367 | * PhlebotinumOverload: How Doom got doomed. Victor was going to absorb the energies from the God Quarry to become the Doom Above All and make a universe of only himself. He was doing this safely by only absorbing a small palm-sized amount at a time. Tony Stark (Ant-Man version) shot the energy with Pym particles that caused it to grow well beyond Victor's control. Victor was consumed [[TakenForGranite and petrified]] by it, with Tony then shrinking the statue to paper-weight size and pocketing it. |
| 368 | * ThePowerOfLove: One reason this Doom is so powerful is that he sacrificed the person he loves, which was Valeria. But with her death, he should have plateaued. There is one person he loves and that's himself. And with a near infinite number of versions of himself out there, that's a lot of self-love to sacrifice. |
| 369 | * ThereCanOnlyBeOne: This Victor refers to himself as Doom Supreme, not just because he's the Sorcerer Supreme of his alternate timeline, but also because he's been systematically defeating and killing other versions of himself as he can't stand the idea of there being "lesser" variants of himself. |
| 370 | [[/folder]] |
| 371 | |
| 372 | [[folder:Young Thanos]] |
| 373 | |
| 374 | A younger version of [[Characters/MarvelComicsThanos Thanos, the Mad Titan.]] Fresh from murdering his own mother and subsequently being exiled from Titan by his father, this version of Thanos travelled to a then-still-developing Earth to further quench his fascination with Death, only to be driven off-world by the Prehistoric Avengers. After being recruited by Mephisto and Doom Supreme, he gladly takes the opportunity to get his revenge. |
| 375 | ---- |
| 376 | * EnfantTerrible: Even as a child, Thanos is very much the same death-obsessed Mad Titan as ever. |
| 377 | * ItsAllAboutMe: While recounting his growing obsession with dissection, he states that he came to the conclusion that the Celestials had created "two-legged troglodytes" for ''him'' to take apart. |
| 378 | * ItsPersonal: Thanos has a particularly strong hatred for Odin for looking down on him during their first battle (even though the feeling is very much not mutual), and takes special pleasure in torturing and murdering every alternate version of the All-Father than he encounters. |
| 379 | * HoverBoard: He jets around on a hover board as a nod to his youth. |
| 380 | * KarmaHoudini: When the Multiversal Masters were defeated, Young Thanos only got a small beating then when the Avengers leave to go fight the Council of Red -- they ended up forgetting about him. Thanos happily picks up subject material for his next round of dissections before he returns to his own time-stream. |
| 381 | * MadScientist: Much of this Thanos's atrocities are done in the name of research. He also provides the team scientific genius as Doom is more concerned with magical matters while Killmonger focuses on battlefield tactics. |
| 382 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Naturally, being a half-Eternal, Thanos' longevity is much higher than you'd expect, even though he looks like he's fourteen years old. |
| 383 | * RayGun: This Thanos hasn't shown any use with the Eternals' Cosmic Power, instead he typically uses a ray gun in battle. |
| 384 | * SelfMadeOrphan: Much like 616!Thanos, this Thanos killed his mother when he was only a child, partially out of anger for her abandoning him as a boy, and partially to further satiate his fascination with death. |
| 385 | * UnknownRival: Odin has no idea that Young Thanos has so much hate for him, if Odin did know he'd likely be a lot less merciful in their first fight. |
| 386 | [[/folder]] |
| 387 | |
| 388 | [[folder:Dark Phoenix]] |
| 389 | |
| 390 | A mysterious masked woman who is the herald of the Phoenix Force of her reality. Her origins and identity are thus far unknown. |
| 391 | ---- |
| 392 | * BadassLongRobe: Wears a simple, hooded robe with phoenix designs on the sleeves. |
| 393 | * BaitAndSwitch: She wears a golden mask with blue clothing, which lead one to think she's a variant of Destiny.[[spoiler: She's actually a Mystique.]] |
| 394 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Her Beserkers are this -- corrupted versions of former heroes, such as Thor and Wolverine, who have been transformed into her mindless thralls. |
| 395 | * CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[spoiler: ComicBook/AvengersAssemble2022 reveals her to be an alternate-future version of Mystique.]] |
| 396 | * DisneyDeath: The two other Phoenix Force avatars, Echo and Firehair go and depower Mystique. This causes her to fall in the waters of entropy coming out of the broken God Quarry. |
| 397 | * EyeScream: Dark Phoenix controls her minions with thorns protruding out of their skin, including the eyes. |
| 398 | * MalevolentMaskedMen: This particular Dark Phoenix hides her identity with a sinister mask and dark robe. |
| 399 | * PlayingWithFire: Besides the Dark Phoenix's own pyrokinesis/Phoenix Flame, her minion/"son" Thor has accepted his Phoenix lineage and also can shoot fire. |
| 400 | [[/folder]] |
| 401 | |
| 402 | [[folder:King Killmonger]] |
| 403 | |
| 404 | A variant of Black Panther's archnemesis, Erik Killmonger. In the reality this version of Killmonger hails from, he successfully killed T'Challa and seized the throne of Wakanda, before going on to claim all the Nine Realms in the name of the new Wakandan Empire. |
| 405 | ---- |
| 406 | * TheBrute: With his Destroyer armor and vibranium battle-axe, he's the most overtly physical in combat and serves as the team's enforcer in battle. |
| 407 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: After Iron Man, Capt. Marvel, Thor and Odin pry open his Destroyer armor's vizor, Prehistoric Iron Fist goes after him. She decides that he can't commit any more genocides if he's too busy dying, so she uses the Iron Fist power and repeatedly punches him until he finally topples in a [[OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank massive pool of blood]]. |
| 408 | * PoweredArmor: King Killmonger wears the Asgard's Destroyer armor and gladly makes use of its destructive power. |
| 409 | * RageAgainstTheHeavens: Went to war with Asgard after conquering Wakanda. |
| 410 | [[/folder]] |
| 411 | |
| 412 | [[folder:Ghost Goblin]] |
| 413 | |
| 414 | A version of the Goblin where Norman Osborn not only has the Goblin serum running through his veins, but he's possessed by the Spirit of Vengeance as well. |
| 415 | ---- |
| 416 | * AxCrazy: Would he really be a version of Green Goblin if he wasn't this? His bombs are the decapitated skulls of Ghost Riders across the Multiverse and he brags about how many Deathloks he has killed. He even happily tosses his entire bag on the Avengers at one point, since it means he will get to harvest more. |
| 417 | * BattleTrophy: Norman takes the skulls of slain Ghost Riders which he uses as thrown bombs. |
| 418 | * BroughtDownToNormal: Prehistoric Ghost Rider is the first Spirit of Vengeance and by far one of the most powerful. He nullifies Norman's Ghost Rider power. |
| 419 | * Fiction500: He claims to be so rich that he's got Elder Gods on his payroll, which is how he became a Ghost Rider. |
| 420 | * {{Hellfire}}: As the Spirit of Vengeance, he has the power to generate hellfire. |
| 421 | * HunterOfHisOwnKind: He's a Spirit of Vengeance hunting down others who have the same spirit possessing them. |
| 422 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: After Norman loses his powers, he loses his life as Prehistoric Ghost Rider rams a sharp stone through his back and out the front of his chest. |
| 423 | * MadBomber: He's still crazy ol' Norman Osborn and really loves blowing stuff up though it's no longer with pumpkin bombs. |
| 424 | * TechnicolorFire: His hellfire is vivid green. |
| 425 | [[/folder]] |
| 426 | |
| 427 | [[folder:Black Skull]] |
| 428 | |
| 429 | An alternate version of Johann Schmidt, the Red Skull, who has gained the power of a symbiote. With a legion of War Machines at his command, this version of Schmidt is a sadistic tyrant ruling over a barren wasteland -- a world where Earth's Mightiest Heroes never had the chance to form... |
| 430 | ---- |
| 431 | * AndIMustScream: After Robbie Reyes and the newly formed Avengers of Earth 818 defeated him, he's been shackled nearly naked in the wasteland and his [[EyeScream eyes have been cursed]] to be perpetually on fire and suffering the effects of the Penance Stare. |
| 432 | * ColdBloodedTorture: Johann has Robbie Reyes and Deathlok brutally tortured while the pair were in captivity. |
| 433 | * CrapsackWorld: It's a world ruled by the Red Skull with a symbiote, so the Third Reich never fell. |
| 434 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: The current one's ultimate fate is to be dissected alive by Young Thanos. Though considering he's just as vile as other versions of Schmidt, [[AssholeVictim it's hard to feel sorry for him]]. |
| 435 | * ForScience: The Avengers actually go easy on this latest version of him, they just remove his symbiote and chain him up. Unfortunately once they leave, Young Thanos takes him and will be dissecting him as one of the Mad Titan's science projects. |
| 436 | * HeavilyArmoredMook: His loyal legions of War Machines certainly count as this. |
| 437 | * NoSell: He's so evil, Robbie Reyes' Penance Stare does nothing to him, as he joyfully basks in the suffering of those he has oppressed. At least, not until Reyes [[TookALevelInBadass takes a few levels in badassery.]] |
| 438 | * TakeOverTheWorld: He's easily done that as in his particular time stream, he's had no opposition whether it's the Avengers or [[ComicBook/HeroesReborn2021 Nighthawk]]. |
| 439 | * UnknownRival: Unknown to the Black Skull, an Avengers team who are out to get him is being formed while he's busy torturing Robbie. |
| 440 | * WeHaveReserves: It's shown through him that even if they take out one Master, they have variants lined up to replace them. |
| 441 | * TheWorfEffect: {{Inverted|Trope}} -- the Black Skull made his first appearance in the pages of ''ComicBook/HeroesReborn2021'', where he was merely an illusory construct like everything else in that world, and his panel time was ultimately just as cannon fodder for Nighthawk. However, the version of him that appears in ''ComicBook/AvengersForever2021'' is far more powerful, having successfully conquered his own dimension and easily defeated the likes of Deathlok and Ghost Rider. |
