9th Villain

Now the ninth villain is:

















Bane

Points: 53

# of voter: 5

Range: 15th - 4th place

Now those who saw the George Clooney’s batman movie “Batman & Robin” might be wondering why Bane would even be considered to be on the list. And right they would be, if they only saw that movie. There, he was only a muscled henchman who didn’t even have the capability of speech and served no purpose to the plot of that already horrible movie.

With that said, I’d like to note that Bane in the comics and Cartoon shows was a much, much (infinitely much) better villain. Because he was in his best in the comics I will be referring to that Bane.

Bane is a DC Comic villain and one of Batman’s greatest foe. Bane spent most of his life in a foreign (to America) prison. There he spent his time building his strength and mind. He built up his body to become beyond normal strength. He learned to fight from the best teachers the prison had to offer and from spending his life constantly defending himself. So he’s a tough guy, but what most people don’t know is that his greatest weapon is really his mind. He spent most of his time reading anything he could get his hands on and learning about the world and about crime from the other inmates. He soon became ‘king’ of the prison. The guards noted that Bane was running the inmates and tried to get rid of him be forcing him to be a test subject for scientific research. Injecting something called Venom into his system, Bane almost died. Yet he survived what killed everyone else exposed to it. The Venom increased his already powered strength giving him superb muscle power. The Venom needed to be injected every day to keep him alive so he made a mask and had tube to go the back of his head to continually inject the Venom.

Bane escaped the prison with his newfound power and set his sights on ruling Gotham’s underground crime. With his strength and brain he could easily do it but there was one thing in his way, Batman. Now this is what Bane is most famous for, defeating Batman. Now Bane’s strong but Batman took on strong people before, here’s where Bane’s genus comes in. He figured out who Batman was (which is an accomplishment in the DC world). Then Bane destroyed Arkham Asylum’s walls releasing the cities worse criminals. It took Batman three months to recapture them all, making him completely exhausted. After Batman finished cleaning Bane’s mess, Batman returned to his Batcave to find Bane waiting for him. In his beat up, tired form, Batman was no match for Bane and Bane broke Batman’s back, taking him out of the crime fighting business. Bane ruled the city until a new Batman defeated him. Don’t worry kids, the old Batman was back on his feet eventually.

From then on, Bane was referred to as the man who beat the Batman. Whenever DC needed to great enemy in Gotham, he was the horrible force they could use. Whenever he showed up, things were at their worst.

There you have it. Why Bane is on the list. Anyone with a win over Batman is a good villain.

10th Hero

Now to start the top ten for the Heroes. This first one I’m excited about.

And the 10th Hero goes to:



















James Bond

Points: 60

# of voters: 6

range: 16th - 8th place

Bond. James Bond. Agent 007. British’s most famous fictional secret agent. Mr. Bond works for British’s secret agency MI6 (aka S.I.S.), his rank is double 0 ( 00 ), the highest spy rank given the most important and most dangerous missions. Whenever Britain needs to save the world they call on their man, James Bond. Or whenever they need someone taken out.

James Bond was the son of a Scottish man and a Swiss woman. His parents died in a mountain accident when he was just eleven. From then on he traveled from school to school and even country to country learning all he could. He learned all he could about the world, government, military, business, and several languages which include Danish, Japanese, German, Russian, and French. He lied about his age and entered the British army prematurely and then he rose through the ranks to commander. Then he joined the British Navy which he also rose to commander. It is unclear when he became a MI6 agent but it was sometime after he left the Navy.

James Bond started as a character in books in 1953. His first author was Ian Fleming but dozens of other authors have written about 007 afterwards. James fame really grew once his character 1962 and starred Swas put on film. His movies became huge and are still being made today. His first movie was Sean Connery. Connery made five more movies before retiring his part in the role. Since then others have filled the part of Bond including George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and most recently Daniel Craig. Twenty movies have been made altogether (note: Craig’s newest movie “Bond 22” is said to come out sometime 2008 making 21 movies). He also is a popular videogame character.

Bond’s the name and espionage is his game. And James knows how to play it. James is the best at everything a spy needs. He can blend in and sneak around any city in the world and Sneak or talk his way into any facility. He is very charming and sly. He can become your best friend and spy on you at the same time (then kill you). James can charm any woman we wants or needs to charm to complete the mission. He isn’t tied or slowed down by them either, the mission is first and he can let go of them at any time (except the time in the movies where he was married). I mean, in one movie he was with four different woman at different times. FOUR!

And when spying isn’t enough, James can fight his way out of any situation. He can box and fight like the best of them but his true skill is his gunmanship. James Bond is alone most of the time and can still shoot his way out even when highly outnumbered. Bond is also known to drive like no one else on earth, which is good because he can get into a lot of car chases. Furthermore, he’s been known to drive tanks, helicopters, planes, and wield a number of secret agent gadgets.

Other reasons Bond is cool? Well, I guess he’s another definition of cool. This suit wearing agent carries himself with style and class like you won’t believe. He’s cool and cleaver under the harshest situations. And he’s always in the harshest situations. No one can spy, kill, drink, and save Britain and look as cool and James Bond 007.

“Vodka Martini, shaken, not stirred.”

10th villain

Yay! Half done!

Now it comes down to the top ten. The first to be revealed on the top ten will be the 10th villain

and the 10th villain goes to:















Cobra Commander

Points: 52

# of voters: 4

Range: 20th - 1st place

The Cobra Commander, one of the main villains of the G. I. Joe universe. He is the ruthless leader of a terrorist military group called Cobra. With Cobra as his weapon and with connections all over the world, Cobra Commander aims to take the whole world. Yup, he aims pretty high. The Commander is the main opponent of the American army unit G. I. Joe. He started, like most from the G. I Joes, as a doll (Action Figure! Action Figure! That’s what I said) but later took the staring villain place in the G. I. Joe comic books and cartoon shows.

Cobra Commander wears a blue military uniform with either a blue helmet with its face guard all the way down or a full mask (save for two eye holes). Either way, his face is always hidden, even from his own men. He goes throughout the world causing havoc and chaos. He has been the man behind many country’s uprising and government takeovers. Cobra Commander is ruthlessly known for kidnapping scientist and forcing then to create his doomsday weapons (as all good villains should) and making alliances with terrorist cells and weapons dealers.

The Commander is a tactical genus. He expects perfect loyalty from his men and treats them as though they are all expendable. Cobra Commander doesn’t disguise his villainess, he knows he’s evil, and he uses that image. He does whatever it take to get what he wants without any thought about anyone else’s wellbeing. All these things make him a great villain.

Character flaws? In the animated series he seemed like a stupid villain. He just did dumb things, only knew how to yell, and didn’t seem menacing at all. Or is it that we love him because of the dumb voice of his? Also, it might could as a flaw that his origins is that he was once a car salesman, now that’s evil. But that too is impressive, going from car salesman to most ruthless terrorist in the world.

11th Hero

And the 11th Hero goes to the mighty...



















Aslan

points: 54

# of voters: 3

Range: 7th to 1st place

“Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.”
--Mr. Beaver about Aslan in “The Loin, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.” by C. S. Lewis

Aslan is definitely worthy of being a top hero. He is a mystical Lion king in C. S. Lewis’s children’s book series “The Chronicles of Naria”. Naria is a magical land where talking animals, dwarves, gnomes, and fauns, and men live in peace, for the most part. Aslan is a god like creator-lion that created their world (he sang it into existence, also in the series he created all other worlds including Earth but he used other names in these other worlds), and he watches over the world. When it is in danger, he summons children from our world to aid it. He helps the children on their quest but for the most part he just guides the world along from his home in another world.

Aslan is described as a large lion. He is so powerful that his very presence is filled with majesty. The books say that if one would just look at him that being would be filled with fear, awe, and joy. Unless you’er evil, then his presence would fill you with ultimate dread and horror. But if you stuck around long enough to befriend him, then you see him as the most wonderful thing in the world and a good friend, though he can still a roaring lion.

He is all-powerful and untamed. He goes and does as he pleases, which, fortunately for us, is for the good of the world. He could solve all Naria’s problems in an instant but he prefers just to aid them in helping themselves. He is bound only by one thing, his father (a being referred to as the Empire-Over-The-Sea) and his father’s laws.

Which brings me to my next point. Aslan is heroic. Once when a boy from our world belonged to the enemy due to the law of Aslan’s father. So the only thing Aslan could do is offer his own life to spare the boy. But being the powerful beast he is, he simply rose himself back to life (now that‘s power), played with some kids, then killed his enemy by mauling (ouch). Heroic is hardly does him justice. He is noble, kind, and good. He is the king.

Aslan has every attribute of being a hero. He is honorable, loving, and self-sacrificing. His power and might is literally unmatched. This mighty lion is at home on this list of heroes.

11th villain

And the 11th villain is:











Agent Smith

Points: 51

# of voters: 3

range: 8th to 2nd place

“There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure.”
- Agent Smith in “The Matrix”

You think this is the year 2007 (or + # of years past this post). You think you are looking at a monitor reading one of the greatest blogs of all time. The truth? This is indeed a great blog but you are really hooked up to a machine which is sending signals to your brain telling you your in this world. You and the entire human race hooked up to this one world. That’s right, the future internet (I wonder if my blog is still around?). You are hooked up to a faked world so that robots can use your body as a battery. That’s right, the largest MMO of all time. The Matrix.

Which make me wonder, why didn’t the Machines in the movie the Matrix just tell us the truth and give the matrix a level up system

“Welcome! By now you’ve noticed that this is a fake world. Now you can leave to the outside world which is a dark, cold, barren wasteland that you human’s created. Or you can stay here and you can buy swords and other weapons and fight monsters outside the city’s limits. A new magic system is being created and will be installed soon.”

I digress.

Back to the eleventh villain.

Agent Smith is the main villain of the series the matrix and main nemesis of Neo. In the first movie, he was an agent of the matrix. An agent's mission is to delete (that’s means kill, kids) people that are unplugged from the matrix as well as delete rogue programs that have broken away from the main matrix system. Smith was one of the leaders of these agents. He even seemed to have the authority to order sentinel robots (killer robots. He gave the order to attack in the first movie.) in the real world.

Smith is as cold as one could get. He is only a computer program but he is still evil. Incapable of any form of kindness or mercy, an agent will watch, pursue, and kill someone with precision and cold blood. Yet Smith was colder and more evil than the rest. He hated humans, he hated their matrix prison, and he even hated his own existence as a program to take care of their prison. He could quickly lose his temper and act out of a rage. Yet he was for the most part self controlled and unemotional, Though at times he can be sly and overly cocky.

In the second two movies he became a exile program though that was just a title, he never really ran from anyone, it was the other way around. After being defeated by Neo, he became a computer virus rather than a program. He could copy himself on anything linked to the Matrix, making more and more of himself all over the Matrix. He also became more and more powerful making, thought their were thousands of himself, one Smith as powerful as Neo. He threatened not only the lives of every human and program in the Matrix but every human and machine in the world. He was motivated by one sinister goal. To destroy everything.

“The Purpose of life is to end.”
-Agent Smith “The Matrix revolution”

I think I said enough. His nature, his attitude, his power, his mission all make him a great villain.

12th Hero

For those how care I am getting better. But that just meas I no longer have an excuse.

And the 12th Hero goes to:












The Flash

Points: 54

# of voters: 5

Range: 19th to 2nd place

That’s right, the Flash. The Flash is a name carried by a DC Comics superhero that has super speed as a power. There have been four superheroes that have held the name of the Flash; Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, Wally West, and Bart Allen. Each had their own different origin, Jay breathing in chemicals, Barry and Wally were exposed to chemicals that were hit by lighting, and Bart was born with the powers. Yet they all have the relative same powers, they can move, think, and react at super speed.

The Flashes speed surpasses even Superman and they can do odd things with their speed. They can walk on water, vibrate their bodies to walk through solid objects, and create tornadoes. Barry, the fastest flash, traveled so fast that he became pure energy, traveled back in time, saved the day, and died in the process. Bart could not only read at super speed, he could remember everything he reads.

So why did the Flash make 12th place? Well first off he is very well known throughout the DC Comics. His power are awesome, come on, you know you would love to have that power. Each one had his own attitude; other than the usual here to save the day boy scout, most of the flashes had a punch line while they fought. Also they were considered one of the most powerful forces in the Justice League. And finally, he was the favorite character in the Justice League animated series. There he was the comic relief of the show making him a favorite of some of my friends. In fact, while I was asking someone about why the Flash was high on her list she simple replied that in the show he could make tornadoes. Even with all the other reason, apparently making tornadoes was a good to make the list.
