Masterman. Unstoppable Nazi super-soldier possessed by an unkillable multi-dimensional Lovecraftian god-thing. What's not to like? |

Have to agree on Taskmaster, and follow up with Absorbing Man. |
| Pictors Studio | 04 Mar 2011 10:39 a.m. PST |
The Nasal Python. He didn't last long but he put up a helluva fight. But I did like the Wrecking Crew too. They seemed to be pretty good generic guys to throw in there when you needed your heroes to beat someone up without involving too much in the smarts department. |

Right on John…
Beagle Boys were great!

I was going to say Stilt-Man, but I was beaten to it. So, I will go with Captain America villain: Batroc the Leaper. |
| jpattern2 | 04 Mar 2011 11:31 a.m. PST |
Leap-Frog, mostly associated with Daredevil: link
For some reason he appealed to me from his very first appearance. |

Here's another vote for Stilt Man, the guy was constantly getting his butt kicked. picture |

Baron Von Unterbeit
Monstroso
Phantom Limb
Henry Killenger (and his Magical Murder Bag)
Manotaur & Scaramantula tied for Dishonorable Mention. I always wondered if Stilt-Man's creators turned him out on a drunken dare*. Did Scourge ever off him, or was he not worth his time? (*Like Angar the Screamer and Squirrel Girl, or something like that) The Beagle Boys are like, unionized henchmen! |

Stiltman, The Leap Frog, and The Gladiator. All opponents of Daredevil when I was buying them off the newstand as a youngster. Spiderman was too powerful to have very many good second raters: at least that I remember. |
| Battle Works Studios | 05 Mar 2011 6:24 a.m. PST |
The Elf With A Gun. Doctor Bong. |
| Norman D Landings | 05 Mar 2011 12:26 p.m. PST |
Gladiator was priceless! "I've strapped two circular saws to my wrists… what're you gonna do about THAT, eh?" "I'm gonna wait until you need the bathroom. Then I'm gonna break out the popcorn and enjoy the show." I remember him getting beaten like a red-headed stepchild by Man-Thing…. always a reliable indicator of second-rate status. |
| Space Monkey | 05 Mar 2011 1:44 p.m. PST |
Dr. Forklift and his 'Hamsters of Doom' from Plastic Man #11 |
| Muah ha ha | 05 Mar 2011 2:38 p.m. PST |
Seems to me that Captain Marvel (the DC one) had some really goofy enemies, but I can't remember a single one. |

Flag-Smasher! What a star! When you need a villain-of-the-week to whale on for a couple of pages with no consequences and no complicated tie-ins or crossovers, that's when he pops up! "Why…? Why are you doing this?" "Do you come from a country? Any country? With, like, a government and politics and stuff?" "Well… yeah…" "Good enough for me!" Probably busy in the Middle East right now, though. |

Spider-Man has the best second raters in his Rogue's Gallery…followed closely by the Flash. My faves:
Shocker
Mysterio
Captain Cold
Captain Boomerang And quite possibly the silliest Spider-man villian ever: The Hypno Hustler and the Mercy Killers, from Spectacular Spider Man #24. From Wikipedia:
"The Hypno-Hustler can perform hypnosis with the aid of his guitar, and when teamed with his backup band, The Mercy Killers, can perform mass hypnosis. His boots can emit knockout gas on demand, and have retractable knives in the soles." Yeah, that about covers it. |
