[[quoteright:406:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/323e586de1bfe32a66e3bbd56e5d5043.jpg]]

!!! '''Notable Aliases:''' Lord of the Negative Zone, the Living Death that Walks, Ahmyor
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Fantastic Four Annual'' #6 (November 1968)

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]].
----
* TheAgeless: Continuous exposure to the energies of his Cosmic Rod has retarded his aging, making him virtually immortal.
* 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).
* AxCrazy: Extremely unstable, paranoid and aggressive, values his survival above everything else, and is unfortunately convinced everything alive is a danger to him.
* 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''.
* BigBad: He's usually this when the story is set in the Negative Zone.
** And, as ''Annihilation'' and the Thanos trilogy by Jim Starlin shows, even stories that aren't.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: He often leads an army of these-- and is an insectoid himself.
* 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.
* 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''.
* EvilOverlord: Of the Negative Zone.
* FantasticRacism: Towards mammals.
* GalacticConqueror: In ''Annihilation'', he decides he is done ruling on the Negative Zone only, and starts an invasion of the Universe.
* HeroKiller: He killed Wendell Vaughn in the opening act of ''Annihilation''. Wendell got better eventually, though.
* 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.
* InsectoidAliens: What he really is.
* 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.
* JokerImmunity: Has died multiple times, it never sticks. Whenever he is killed his hive just births a new one.
* LargeHam: Extremely loud and bombastic as one would be from the days of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
* 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.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Would you seriously like to stay in presence of a guy whose name is derived from the word ''annihilation''?
* 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.
* PowerGlows: With the Cosmic Control Rod.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: His body is mostly green with purple.
* SpikesOfVillainy: His attire is full of them.
* 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.
* WingedHumanoid: Notably they're more like a bat's than an insect's.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2750666_blastaar__2.jpg]]

!!! '''Notable Aliases:''' Living Bomb-Burst, Blasstaar, King Blastaar
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Fantastic Four'' #62 (May 1967)

A denizen of the Negative Zone who battles Annihilus frequently and became the king of most of the territories of the Negative Zone.
----
* 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.
* BadBoss: Blastaar is a ruthless tyrant who punishes dissenters and failure with execution.
* 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.
* EnemyMine: Ends up having to work with Annihilus during ''Annihilation: Scourge'' against the Cancerverse.
* 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.
* HandBlast: His main power is the ability to fire beams of energy from his hands, hence his title: "The Living Bomb-Burst".
* InsistentTerminology: When made "king" of the Negative Zone, he's very fond of reminding everyone he runs into of that fact.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: In a confrontation with Nova, Rich quietly whispers to Blastaar that if he wants to stay king of the Negative Zone, he might want to remember what Rich did to the last person from the Negative Zone he fought (namely, ripped him inside out). Blastaar quietly lets Rich go, playing it off as an act of kingly benevolence.
* TheRival: Of Annihilus, having clashed with him for the supremacy of the Negative Zone on several occasions.
* 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.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/964490_ff_570_0023.jpg]]

A gathering of alternate versions of Reed Richards from across the multiverse.
----
* AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: A deconstruction. Yes, they ''are'' awesome, and not [[ReedRichardsIsUseless useless]]... because they've given up on the things Reed considers important, like his wife, friends and kids. They're also lacking in the empathy department.
* AmbitionIsEvil: "Doom" Reed, whose ambitions, funnily enough, started up after he thought it was a good idea to put a bit of Victor Von Doom's brain in his. He then tried to take over the world.
* BaldOfEvil: Some of them, such as the "Professor" Reed and "Doom" Reed, don't have hair.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Two of the last Reeds are abducted by Ronan the Accuser, and used as material to create the new Supreme Intelligence. They die screaming in horror.
* DidntSeeThatComing: "Professor R" was sent to negotiate with the Universal Inhumans so they could get access to a doomsday weapon. He didn't know they had a LivingLieDetector who saw right through his lies.
* DisappearedDad: The one common link they all have, regardless of universe, is that their father disappeared on them one day and never came back.
* DwindlingParty: Between the Mad Celestials, abandonment, and unforeseen circumstances, by the end of Hickman's run they're all dead. By the time of ComicBook/DonnyCatesVenom, however, they're back in business.
* FatalFlaw: Arrogance, all the way. They're so hell-bent on fixing problems their way they refuse to consider better, less destructive alternatives, such as legitimately asking for help from the heroes, instead manipulating villains and aliens into a war that would've ended up with Celestials destroying Earth.
* InSpiteOfANail: Most of them generally look like our Reed, despite the different circumstances in their lives.
* KickTheSonOfABitch:
** "Doom" Reed's plotting caused the death of his reality's Hitler, followed shortly thereafter by the entirety of the German government, and that reality's Sue and Johnny Storm, who were psychopaths.
** One of their standard operating procedures - find each reality's Doctor Doom and brain-fry him. Reed is appalled, but they justify it on the grounds that Doom, any Doom, is too dangerous to leave running around.
* LackOfEmpathy: One of their major failings. They're willing to annihilate whole planets to save more, or murder alternate Galactuses rather than find alternate solutions.
* LoveIsAWeakness: None of them seem to get why abandoning their families might be wrong.
* MadScientist: "Doom" Reed, of the "completely nuts" variety. Putting a bit of someone else's brain in yours doesn't give you their intelligence. But then, in a world run by Nazis, basic scientific logic was going to be dead in the water anyhow.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: In-between the dodgy actions, some of them have done impressive things, such as killing a Beyonder, or gather their reality's Infinity Gauntlet.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Some of the Reeds ran for it when the Mad Celestials attacked, and didn't come back. It's implied the Council went after them in revenge.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: They want to "solve everything". It's just their definition of "solve" can be pretty damned destructive, especially when they get desperate.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: For the ones who actually stuck around long enough to start families. They were so busy not being useless that their relationships with the other Fantastic Four grew strained, usually ending with Sue taking the kids (if any) and leaving. Our Reed is horrified to hear this, since he does genuinely love his family.
* TheWorfEffect: One Reed has the powers of the Starbrand, designed to defend planets. He's frazzled by the Mad Celestials in one shot.

!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Esteban Corazón de Ablo
!!! '''Notable Aliases:'''
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Fantastic Four'' #30 (September 1964)

A brilliant and ancient alchemist who was accidentally awoken by the Fantastic Four in their early days and has remained a nuisance ever since.
----
* 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]].
* 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.
* BadBoss: Not a pleasant guy to work under.
* BiblicalBadGuy: Technically named after the devil, though his actual demonic connotations beyond that are very few.
* 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.
** 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.
* DealWithTheDevil: Made a deal with Mephisto for [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld his elongated life]].
* ManipulativeBastard: Underplayed compared to other FF villains, but he is quite the clever schemer, often working through manipulated proxies when he can.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He was born in 9th century Spain, and has used his alchemical skills to prolong his life.
* 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.
* ThisCannotBe: Almost every time he's defeated, he reacts with sheer disbelief.

!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Victor Von Doom
!!! '''Notable Aliases:''' King Boss, Doombot, Rabum Alal, Infamous Iron Man
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Fantastic Four'' #5 (July 1962)

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.

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]].

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, Franchise/SpiderMan, the ComicBook/IncredibleHulk, ComicBook/IronMan, [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]], ComicBook/{{Luke Cage|HeroForHire}}, and more.

See [[ComicBook/DoctorDoom his own page]] for the tropes associated with him. There are plenty.

The Doombots are robots created by Doctor Doom (above). Usually show up singly to impersonate Doom but are sometimes used in multiple numbers as armies for Doom.
----
* ActuallyADoombot: TropeNamer, of course.
* ConfusionGambit: Doom is well aware of the confusion that the previous trope causes in his enemies, and encourages it. It's a handy way to cover any of his actual defeats, for one thing.
-->'''Doom:''' My robots often confuse my foes - I may be a robot now, speaking these words. How would you know? How would ''I''?
* CrazyPrepared: Fun fact - Doom has prepared it so that if, by some unthinkable circumstance he should actually die for real ([[JokerImmunity bah!]]), his Doombots are programmed to carry on in his stead.
* LargeHam: They're programmed with copies of Doom's inimitable personality, bombast included.
* {{Mooks}}: Often, they'll serve as Doom's soldiers.
* {{Retcon}}: They have traditionally been used as a retroactive escape clause for some of Doctor Doom's more humiliating defeats. Or just appearances that an author disagrees with (for example, the fight between Chris Claremont and John Byrne over whether Arcade really got away with lighting a match on Doom's armor, or it was a Doombot.

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Fantastic Four'' #359 (December, 1991)

An amorphous black symbiotic alien and member of a warlike empire, held captive by Devos the Devastator. Unwittingly freed by the Fantastic Four, it took over a gorilla to attack the Thing and Human Torch; briefly taking over the former before jumping to the latter. It was dubbed Dreadface by the Thing, and seemingly killed when it was tricked into blowing up the Fantastic Four's crashed ship's fuel tank.
----
* TheConqueror: Dreadface is a warrior of a spacefaring empire of similar creatures whose MO is to bond to the greatest warriors on a planet and use them to conquer the populace, turning them into chattel for the rest of its species.

* NotQuiteDead: In its first appearance it was seemingly killed when the Thing tricked it into blowing up a fuel tank, and in its second appearance when its island base exploded. Each time, however, it managed to make a comeback until in its final appearance it was banished back to the depths of space.
* TheSymbiote: Dreadface is an amorphous creature made of living darkness, bonds to a host it can dominate at-will and drain of vitality, and even calls itself a symbiote. Despite this, its databook entry says there's no evidence it's a member of the same species as ComicBook/{{Venom}}.

Hate Monger is the name adopted by Adolf Hitler's consciousness throughout multiple cloned bodies. Armed with a gun that controls hatred, he wishes to plunge the world into racial purging. Hate-Monger has died several times, but his consciousness has always transferred itself to other bodies, prolonging his existence.
----
* TheKlan: His hood is obviously based on the Klu Klux Klan.
* HatePlague: His original M.O. was to spread bigotry and aggression with his "Hate Ray" and would usually direct people's hatred towards minorities. He eventually turns himself into an ethereal hate plague to spread his evil ideals.
* ObviouslyEvil: Even for a literal clone of Adolf freakin' Hitler, calling yourself the Hate-Monger is pretty gauche.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: Although originally a Fantastic Four foe, Hate-Monger inevitably crossed paths with ComicBook/CaptainAmerica and has become more associated with him due to their clashing ideals. Even if it's just a clone, you can't expect to keep Steve Rogers' fist away from Hitler's face for long.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: His well known clan-like outfit is purple.
* VillainousLegacy: Hate-Monger is more of a symbol than a character. Many other individuals have taken up his moniker and purple hood to spread racism, bigotry and hatred, proving that anyone can become a mouthpiece for hate.

He gathered a group of heroes who overthrew Latveria's government, Lucia among them.

!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Julius (Last name unknown)
!!! '''Notable Aliases:''' Dr. José Santini, The Thinker
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Fantastic Four'' #15 (Jun 1963)

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.
----
* 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?
* BerserkButton: Don't call him "The ''Mad'' Thinker" to his face; its just "The Thinker", thank you very much.
* ClockKing: His whole shtick. And he is quite good at it.
* CrazyPrepared: It's quite difficult to surprise him, since he plans for every eventuality. Including contingency plans to compensate for incomplete information.
-->'''Thinker:''' I always have a reserve plan, in case I should miscalculate.
* 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.
* GadgeteerGenius: Amongst other things, he was the one who created the Awesome Android.
* 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...
* 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.
* 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.
* 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''.
* 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.
* TalkativeLoon: When written by Jonathan Hickman, he gibbers to himself out loud all the time.
* WarriorTherapist: At times. DependingOnTheWriter.
* WouldNotHurtAChild: During a team-up with the Wizard, the Mad Thinker found out after they'd kidnapped Franklin Richards that the Wizard planned to kill and autopsy the boy to learn the secret of his powers. Completely disgusted, he immediately abandoned the Wizard and found Ben Grimm, leading him to where the Wizard had the boy hidden.

!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Harvey Rupert Elder
!!! '''Notable Aliases:''' Dr. Wrong
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Fantastic Four'' #1 (November 1961)

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.
----
* 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.
* 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.
* BalefulPolymorph: 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.
* 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.
* TheEmperor: Evokes this during ''Rings of The Mandarin'', when he begins wearing a crown and wielding a scepter.
* GravityMaster: Had this power when he wielded the Mandarin's Daimonic ring.
* 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.
* 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.
* MoleMen: Ironically, he isn't one himself (just a disfigured old man), but his Moloids fit the trope like a glove.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* ServantRace: His moloids.
* SuperSenses: At the very least has developed a radar sense similar to the Daredevil to compensate living underground.
* YouAreNumberSix: His Ten Rings designation is Mandarin Six.

!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Owen Reece
!!! '''Notable Aliases:'''
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Fantastic Four'' #20 (November 1963)

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.
----
* AffablyEvil: When he's on his good days, he's not such a bad guy. When ComicBook/MilesMorales 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 been largely retired and takes the time to warn Galactus of those out to get him.
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Killed by Griever at the End of All Things in the second issue of the 2018 series]].
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Particularly in recent times.
* 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.
* 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''.
* 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}}'' himself said that if he got serious, he couldn't hope to challenge him, that 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.
* FaceHeelRevolvingDoor: Currently on the Face side... sort of.
* 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.
* 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.
* NoNameGiven: In his first appearance, to emphasise the point of being a nobody who's become all-powerful.
* PhysicalGod: Fortunately, all those who realize it are safe in the knowledge that he ''doesn't''.
* 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.
* 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'.
* RetiredBadass: Post ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'', he's claimed that he's now retired.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: Became an enemy of Iron Man, and the Avengers in general. Honestly, with a bad guy this powerful, it's not surprising.
* SealedEvilInACan: When his consciousness was trapped in a wand.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: His default outfit is purple and green.
* 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.
* 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''.
* 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.
* 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]]. [[spoiler:In ''[[ComicBook/JonathanHickmansAvengers 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]].

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.
----
* AliensAreBastards: He sees little wrong in using his emotion controlling powers on other beings and thinks little of others.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
** 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.
* 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.

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Fantastic Four'' Vol 5 #5 (July, 2014)

A villain introduced in Frank Robinson’s run on the comics in 2015, ‘the Quiet Man’ is revealed to have been the mastermind behind the team’s recent misfortunes (Ben being framed for murder, Johnny losing his powers, Reed and Sue losing custody of their children) and claims to have been indirectly attacking the team for years… all because he had a crush on Sue years ago and Reed talked to Sue first.
----
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Admittedly, the first time Reed and Sue spoke to each other was probably important to them anyway, but they couldn’t have known that it also marked the start of the Quiet Man’s hatred of them.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: Basically defied; according to the Quiet Man, he owns everything from corner shops to Fortune 500 companies, and he still blames Reed for the fact that he’s miserable.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: The main reason the Quiet Man’s plan fails in the end; as Reed observes, [[spoiler:trusting a villain who proudly proclaims himself to be ‘the Psycho Man’ to keep his word and abandon power over two Earths was a very stupid move]].
* DisproportionateRetribution: The Quiet Man is attacking the team to the extent of framing Reed for causing an invasion from an alternate Earth just because Reed talked to Sue before he could, even though neither Reed or Sue had any idea the man even existed.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The villain introduces himself as ‘the Quiet Man’ and explains that he has developed so many other aliases over the years that he doesn’t even remember his original name.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Part of the reason the Quiet Man failed was that he underestimated the better nature of some of the villains he’d recruited to assist him, [[spoiler:such as the Wizard sparing his clone, Bentley, whom he acknowledges as a son]].
* EvilIsPetty: The Quiet Man claims that he developed a cure for cancer and decided to destroy it because there were too many people anyway and he saw no point in letting them be happy when he couldn’t be.
* HiddenVillain: The Quiet Man only reveals himself half-way through Robinson’s run.
* ManBehindTheMan: The Quiet Man has claimed to be this to some of the team’s other villains over the years, although it’s hard to be sure how seriously this claim should be taken.
* MasterOfDisguise: Uses holograms and other advanced technology to disguise himself, to the extent that he can’t remember what he originally looked like.
* PsychopathicManchild: Downplayed, but despite being high-functioning enough to make a fortune and become a VillainWithGoodPublicity, his motivations for targeting the Fantastic Four (and if his claims are true, orchestrating the rise of several other villains that have antagonised the Four over the years) shows that he’s still ultimately an entitled, resentful brat at heart.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Even if the Quiet Man is exaggerating the scale of his influence on the FF’s history, he definitely goes to ridiculous lengths to destroy the team when they never deliberately did anything to hurt him in the first place.

While he is intangible, his body metabolism enables him to go without eating or without breathing for extended periods of time.

* MadScientist: "Doom" Reed, of the "completely nuts" variety. Putting a bit of someone else's brain in yours doesn't give you their intelligence. But then, a world run by Nazis, basic scientific logic was going to be dead in the water anyhow.
