The stupidest supervillain plots in comic book history. Enjoy. www.cracked.com/article_18943_the-6-most-pointless-supervillain-schemes-ever-hatched_p2.htmlThe Daredevil one is just spectacularly moronic. Isn't Doom supposed to be the most brilliant villain in the Marvel universe? What a 'tard. Gobbie cloning Peter Parker just to psych him out a little at the expense of having to deal with TWO Amazing Spider-Men is just too funny. God, comic writers can be dumb. |

OK, we seriously need to find different websites to hang out in. I had already put this article on Facebook (for, ooooh, the hundreds of people I know who will know what the hell I'm on about) and I had planned to put in here today.
The clone saga, I will admit, is one of my top five favourite ever storylines in Spider-Man. Hell, in comics. Every month I was glued to that shit, I loved it. The Jackal was hilarious (you see him singing "and I feel fine.." walking past a city of poisoned people), and he even laughed - laughed! - in the face of Carnage!
Yeah, they totally blew it with the end reveal, but up until then I just thought it was engrossing. It was all "and someone is lurking in the corner" and surprise revelations and... oh man. Fucking YES.

Nonetheless, from the Goblin's end, it was a pretty stupid move. Also, dig the Olsen Beard saga. Holy crap, that was dumb.
But yeah, the Clone Saga was a great concept in that it showed why cloning will be a problem in the future that may well replace racism and homophobia. So what if Parker was a clone? He would still be the same person, right? Why does it matter if he wasn't born naturally? I think that's the brilliance of the concept.
Deadpool actually had a storyline where it was discovered he wasn't actually Wade Wilson, but he had actually stolen that identity from a victim of his and then forgot. This has also been reversed and discussed to the point where Wade eventually told an inquiring questioner that his real identity depends on who's writing him.
