[@MerryMarvelite]

Hey, heroes! I'm going to be streaming again on Twitch this weekend! On Saturday I'm playing Final Fantasy IV for the PSP and on Sunday it's Yakuza Zero substories! www.twitch.tv/merrymarvelite

[@billygarcia9885]

It’s been five minutes since I saw the name “Turner D. Century”, and I’m still chuckling.

[@Supremmo]

He was resurrected awhile back. I’m surprised nothing further was done with him because you could get a lot of mileage from his niche alone.

[@nooctip]

More a Spiderwoman villian, but these days a spider villian is a spider villian.

[@Yacovo]

Dying in an offscreen skiing accident has to be the most ignoble end for a villian. Rest in piece Cyclone number whatever. Thanks for the video.

[@SamuelAna4Ever]

I love Marvel C List and D List villains! So many great ones from the 70's and 80's!

[@CxMHaze]

“An unrelated skiing accident” 😂

[@Xaviernisan]

I dub thee the 'Sonny Bono end'

[@Kamenriderdecade105]

I would LOVE to see more obscure Marvel Villains!

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Excellent job. The kooky sometimes irrelevant super villains done in the 70's are some of the most wild, ridiculous designs. But some of them like whiplash make very good background stories 😂❤

[@KGBookkeeping]

This was outstanding! More please! Should call this series the C-list or D-list!!! Haha

[@mediabaron2416]

Please do more of these. I love learning about obscure Marvel villains. I had never even heard of W.H.O. before this.

[@FanboyimusPrime]

i would love to see another video on various C list Spider-Man foes. Master of Vengeance is a favorite of mine in that category.

[@Hulkzilla0]

This was fun! My favorite from this set is Paper Doll. Very unique and creepy.

[@Supremmo]

I was hoping you would include the Lobo Brothers, Scorcher, Phreak and the Living Brain.

[@Atlasbr001]

PaperDoll looks pretty cool, her powers are fun

[@gerdmatt7]

Yes! More of this. One of my favorite things are the obscure villains faced by heroes. With more than 60 years' worth of stories there are so many weird and wonderful villains that only appeared a handful of times. Great video, as always!

[@juliiju0484]

When I found myself pointing at the screen after I recognized Typeface in his Across the Spider-Verse cameo, I realized I had become a fan with a lot of knowledage of Obscure characters

[@petrenicolae3282]

You became Leonardo DiCaprio

[@rubensalvador9422]

I always liked Humbug and Slyde. Also during MacFarlane era, a duo I think were called Styx and Stone.

[@Firebrand128]

One of these days, you should do a video on the Scourge of the Underworld. He comes up a lot in these videos and we should have the full story.

[@christopherulichney]

This was fun. The c and d tier villains deserved some love. Not everyone can be Dr Doom, but all these characters added to the rich tapestry of the Marvel Universe. I think that most of the 90s Fantastic Four villains would fit into this category. My suggestion for a future video is the Alpha Flight member SASQUATCH. As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!

[@johnlawful2272]

Like the bike dude from one punch man

[@AshtonRogers-se1zj]

I saw the title of this video,and immediately thought about Alex Webb's video about The Wall. The obscure Spider-Man villain,not the album by Pink Floyd. Anyone who hasn't seen it should watch it,because that video really takes you on a journey. ...and THEN go listen to the Pink Floyd album. For it too is amazing.

[@trexadvent4726]

If we got Sandman, Hydro Man and Molten Man in all the animated Spider-Man series, How come Marvel did not do the same with Cyclone?

[@Supremmo]

I guess he was considered too obscure and not as interesting as the villains they ultimately went with.

[@Joseph_Drew_III]

Well, he’s probably the Air Elemental in Far From Home. Too bad he didn’t feature enough to get a set.

[@javinbieganski9698]

no the real question is why we have not gotten an interpretation of skin head the white redeamer

[@Wilko4real]

Cyclone Man?

[@ryanspengler4877]

I always liked that dude from Tangled Web 1-3 who ate the radioactive spider and went crazy. That was an underrated series and issue 4's Severance Package with Kingpin was a favorite...

[@Joseph_Drew_III]

Thousand? He could probably be in one of these, yeah.

[@comicbookshopofdoom8160]

Do a part two! I love the Kangaroo and Slyde. Tons of villains to expose to a wider audience.

[@rayiskoala]

Always love weird and obscure characters.

[@jasonic-ks2tm]

Love to see you cover the shroud

[@Insane-Howl-Cowl]

Always love to hear about these C listers.

[@MattRNewcomb]

Hope you get to cover Slapstick someday. Great video btw! 😊

[@TheMule47]

wow, these are obscure! i'd not heard of several of them! i love it, i'd love to see more D-List Villains!

[@dreamdiver4125]

Great video ! Obscure D list villains are my favorite, I'm down for an other video!

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of the Beyonder, Crossfire, Living Laser, Iron Monger, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Whiplash, Ultimo, Darkhawk, Union Jack, Psycho-Man, the Badoon and the Broods?

[@ThayneGill]

You should do another video on more obscure spider-man villains.

[@robertrowley4929]

I have the feeling that W.H.O would’ve made an excellent New Warriors foe. It has that 90’s vibe that those stories were known for.

[@trexadvent4726]

Since you did the History of the Mandarin and Fin_Fang_Foom, Can you do history of Ultimo as well as the Shang-Chi villain known as the Death_Dealer?

[@pinkdevil019]

You tell, me, Spidey got more than hundreds upon hundreds of enemies in and out of continuity.

[@dallasmartinfark]

More, please; this was very entertaining

[@moonprincesst.s.h.4ever115]

Thanks for the amazing video!

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video? Just like Steel Spider, Can you do history of the Wraith, the Slingers, Brooklyn Avengers, Solo, Nightwatch, El-Muerto, Bluebird, S.H.O.C and Cardiac?

[@i.n.o.productionscompany9699]

Let's go !!! this is going to be interesting. Wow that was wow

[@williamdaviddiazcuchimaque7511]

Espero que varios de ellos aparezcan en spiderman 4 de Holland y los vuelvan geniales

[@DPLEET]

I love this. Thank you.

[@johnpittsii7524]

Thanks for the amazing video

[@CHARLESJOHNSON-gv7zy]

THIS CHANNEL IS 'EXCELSIOR' 👍 ..

[@eerieeric834]

I feel like this is a topic that can go on forever

[@marciawilliams2499]

PART 2 PLEASE

[@bradystardust7708]

I'd like another one of these, or a video about all the villains killed by Scourge

[@mikeymccann3074]

I want a whole series on wired and unsecure marvel villens

[@dannyman1943]

Dude....Mr. MerryMarvelite....just one word....Mojo!

[@AgentNevets]

Only you could make me care and enjoy a video about Spider-man villains.

[@radrno7]

We need a video on Scourge because I never heard about another vigilante killing Spider-Man villains beyond Punisher.

[@ForceTahd]

Great stuff!

[@dfailsthemost]

I kind of like cyclone. Neat idea.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of the A-Force, U-Foes, Excalibur team, the Ultimates team, Starjammers, Alpha Flight, the Annihilators, the Invaders, the Squadron Supreme, Doom Maidens, the Midnight_Sons, Young Avengers, Dark Avengers, Masters of Evil, the Thunderbolts and the Champions?

[@NintendoFreakX]

Please do Rocket Racer someday 🙏, He looks interesting to me.

[@ecayari]

I once had a comic where Spider-Man fought Mirage. If there are more of these villians. Pls intoduce them.

[@robertrowley4929]

I think Typeface would make an excellent Flash Thompson/Agent Anti-Venom enemy. Both are veterans from Vietnam who understand the struggle soldiers go through upon discharge. It would make an excellent commentary on how our country treats its armed forces.

[@PoffinFresh]

Typeface and his sidekick Premium Font battle Spellcheck and Clippy.

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do origin of the Grim Reaper, Quicksilver, Devondra, Sentry, Mr Immortal, Captain Universe, Dreadknight, Deathcry, Blizzard, Starhawk, Flerken, Whirlwind, Chemistro, Whiplash, Ronan the Accuser, Ego the Living Planet, the Living Tribunal and Palibok the Power Skrull along with Avenger-X and the Protector?

[@trembledust6819]

More pls. Thanx.

[@pierrebuieii3908]

Great more spider man villains must be the the underrated ones even Batman fought more than his rogue gallery

[@eerieeric834]

I feel like you can do this type of video with several different superheroes

[@JulianTruscott]

Honestly these villains are pretty creative, even if their names are just buzzwords. But their powers & how they got them🤯

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do origin of the Brood, the Gladiator, Hyperion, Star-Splendor, Havok, Vulcan, Jackal, Stingray, Avril Kincaid Quasar, Orb, Squirrel_Girl, Ultimus, Kly'bn, Kitty Pryde, Yotat, Dr.Faustus, Enigma and Tryco Slatterus the Champion of the Universe?

[@joshuataylor7443]

I do like Pepper Doll I feel like she has a lot of potential.

[@Joseph_Drew_III]

16:48 Absolutely. In fact, the two you have on screen right now look rather interesting. Edit: My favorite minor villains are Styx and Stone

[@johnquiett1085]

This would make a great series. You don't have to focus in Spider-Man. I'd watch any interesting ones.

[@craigh5236]

'Spellcheck', 'Typeface', and the one above all them Clippy. That guy is evil.

[@mitchtaylor545]

More c and d list villains please.

[@sixmillionisimpossible]

This is like something out of a parody of marvel comics, a majority of them were simply wronged in the lives by something and instead of getting a satisfying "book end" conclusion or redemption, they die unceremoniously, and this was the early 80s when that Scourge vigilante arc happened. Honestly I'm suprised nobody's taken the idea of "C-list heroes and villains you don't hear about" and made that into a comic universe. Lmao at that captain marvel run, did you know it flopped?

[@jussieb7244]

All these characters worthy of a good campy movie, but we get Madame Web

[@jwappel3068]

More please 🙏

[@aidanhever3369]

How about Webman ? A Spiderman mirror clone who was created by Dr. Doom ?

[@rodneyhaney3157]

Bring them all on.

[@PocketC00KIE]

Gotta love Big Wheel and Paste Pot Pete

[@Ghostrider8004]

Sony execs are probably gonna refer to this video to figure out what movie to make next

[@docessex943]

Haven’t even watched yet but you said c-list villain and showed hypno hustler. Come on bro. It’s true but we don’t gotta say it

[@quentinfogger5755]

Just like Big Wheel and Rocket Racer, What would have happened if we saw all of these villains in the 90s Spider-Man series? What would happen if Rocket Racer helped Spider-Man stop these villains?

[@bigfootmenaceormisundersto1479]

More, please!

[@JusticeOutlaw]

Sure this is very interesting

[@DonaldJBethel]

Gotta say the C s are my favorite Marvel Legends

[@vincentfranklin17]

I want to see Hypno Hustler in a live -action film!

[@commonsense5199]

Aw man, Peter had Music based Villain? I thought Miles Morales was the 1st spider man to have a Music Villain. The Villain from Miles’ Rogue Gallery name is Earworm. He makes rock music that create shockwaves and mind control people. Earworm making shockwaves is one thing differentiating him from Hypno Hustler. Miles beats Earworm with power of Salsa music. Yup. And he punch him.

[@minhthuan5762]

More please

[@quentinfogger5755]

How long till you finish doing White Tiger: legacy of the Tiger by doing the history of Ava Ayala White Tiger who's the daughter of Hector Ayala White Tiger? Can you do history of Intelligencia in honor of the She-Hulk Disney Plus show?

[@luke2max]

PLEASE DO MORE PLEASE PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE

[@KGBookkeeping]

You should reach-out to The King of the Omnis, Uncanny Omar @ Near Mint Condition and do a collaboration with ‘em!!! Maybe an X-men related character! Lol; could bring some great exposure to both channels, synergy!!! Haha

[@quentinfogger5755]

If Sony uses these villains, Could they use them as main Villains for all the Spider-Man Anti-hero who got their own movie like how Loxias_Crown AKA Hunger is the villain of the Morbius movie?

[@davedavidson8208]

....died in an unrelated skiing accident... whoever woulda thought.. tragic...

[@trexadvent4726]

What would happen if we saw these Spider-Man villains on the Big Screen or TV Shows? What would happen if they were villains for other Superheroes?

[@jjayflash]

Please do another one

[@DonaldJBethel]

Please give us more

[@uxm4life94]

Kangaroo needs his own video

[@trexadvent4726]

What would have happened if we saw F.A.C.A.D.E in the MCU for Spider-Man as the Iron-Spider and Iron Man teaming up against this armored villain? What would happen if Lance Bannon was F.A.C.A.D.E if he wasn't killed? 10:52

[@williamhopkins343]

😐 these are without a doubt not just the wiredest villians in Marvel but the wiredest villians in any comics ever!

[@ericpalermo3855]

more!

[@jasonic-ks2tm]

Definitely gotta be spymaster

[@29holden]

11:00 So, are we ignoring the fact that a pharmaceutical company hired someone to build them a battle suit? What? To fight cancer?!?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Which one of these villains do you think is the best as well as the most powerful and would win against each other?

[@tdon39]

Skinhead? That has got to be the worst one yet!

[@believein1]

No, YOU’RE weird and obscure ❤

[@Chalwa]

Penny Anteeeeeee Brigade. Ya hafta say the E.

[@kevinboutwell]

aw yeah
