<![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/il.jpg" align=right hspace=4 vspace=4>The only thing scarier than a weapon of mass destruction is the person willing to use it. And that would make Kim Jong Il the scariest mofo on the planet. The North Korean dictator has assembled a secret cache of WMDs and has been organizing terrorists around the world to unleash them upon the planet at the same time, thereby knocking the United States down to the same level as everyone else in the world. And we can't have that...</p>

<p>The heroic Team America is dispatched to fight the terrorists off and discover who is behind this devious plan. They draft Gary, a Broadway actor, to pose as a Middle Eastern terrorist and infiltrate the bad guys. Team America has a habit of shooting first and asking questions later, though, and their trail of bullets, dead bodies, and desecrated national monuments eventually leads them into a trap. Kim Jong Il captures the team and only Gary can save them. In the end, Team America must pull together to defeat Alec Baldwin's gang of peacenik glitterati.</p>

<p>As for Kim Jong Il, at every turn, he shows how eccentric a character he is while simultaneously showing no mercy for those in his way. Not long after firing a bullet through the head of his interpreter for a complete misunderstanding, his terrorist associates bow to his wishes, afraid of <i>him</i>. Only a complete maniac would terrorize <i>other</i> terrorists! Also, he shows no respect for the United Nations or what they stand for when he feeds Hans Blix to his pet sharks. It's no wonder Il finds himself so "ronery."</p>

<p>Ultimately, Team America foils Il's plan and discovers the ugly truth behind Kim Jong Il's identity. Suffice it to say: he is a puppet, like many of the politicians and celebrities in the world, but when freedom is in danger, you can count on Team America being there to cut the strings, bitch.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p><b>INTELLIGENCE - 7</b>: This South Korean leader has drawn up a plan to turn the entire planet into Third World countries. He is smart and very dangerous.</p>

<p><b>POWER - 3</b>: Kim Jong Il lets his Hollywood comrades and hired guns work for him. And he's a puppet; he can't do shit.</p>

<p><b>VILENESS - 9</b>: What kind of maniac would subject Hans Blix to the wrath of angry nurse sharks?</p>

<p><b>SWAY - 7</b>: Although some people have trouble understanding him, he did execute his last translator, so you'd better try hard to listen.</p>

<p><b>PURITY - 10</b>: The entire world is on the brink of disaster because of this psychopath!</p>

<p><b>PHYSICAL - 2</b>: Not only is he a little dude with big goofy glasses, but he's also 10 inches tall. With strings.</p>

<![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/zorin.jpg" align=right hspace=4 vspace=4>Greedy businessmen are always looking for a way to gain a monopoly on their own particular market. In the case of Max Zorin (Christopher Walken) and Zorin Industries, it's computer microchips. And what better way to eliminate your competition - namely, California's Silicon Valley - than to arrange things so the Earth will swallow them whole? If it's good enough for Lex Luthor, I'd say it's good enough for Max Zorin.</p>

<p>Project Main Strike is a little idea concocted by Zorin to initiate earthquakes along major fault lines, resulting in devastation for Zorin competitors and an incredible market share for Zorin Industries. Well, if there's one man in the world who can save these United States companies from doom, it's... a British Secret Agent. James Bond (Roger Moore) is on the case, tracking Zorin and his associates, like the heart attack on two legs, May Day (Grace Jones). Bond is discovered and while Zorin orders numerous attacks on his life, Bond survives nonetheless.</p>

<p>Eventually, Agent 007 finds himself facing a decision: go after the bomb, or Zorin. May Day tragically changes sides too late - "And I thought that creep loved me!" - sacrificing herself to move the bomb away from the target area and dying in the resulting blast. Already making his getaway, Zorin takes flight in his own blimp, heading toward San Francisco Bay. Bond naturally finds a way to tag along, and before you know it, he's duking it out with Zorin on top of the Golden Gate Bridge. In the end, a French Industrialist is no match for a British Secret Agent (no matter how old both of them are) and Zorin perishes after a long fall.</p>

<p>Max Zorin is actually the product of bad genetic engineering, the result of Nazi experiments to make highly intelligent babies. The side effects, however, made them psychotic as well. Zorin has parlayed those smarts into creating an internationally successful business, but his psychotic side pushes his greed to far. Zorin goes so far as to kill competitors rather than subvert them through honorable ways, and as long as his actions make him another dollar, the ends will always justify the means.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p><b>INTELLIGENCE - 8</b>: Superintelligent yet psychotic; his strategies are powerful but usually morally wrong and/or illegal.</p>

<p><b>POWER - 4</b>: Physically, he is an average older man. Those Nazi experiments didn't give him superstrength too.</p>

<p><b>VILENESS - 10</b>: Every Bond villain has got to have great bodyguards to do the killin', but Zorin sure does enjoy killing people too.</p>

<p><b>SWAY - 9</b>: He is eccentric, highly confident, and prepared for anything. Difficult to intimidate.</p>

<p><b>PURITY - 10</b>: The bottom line is what's important, and no one - not even dear May Day - is worth more than that.</p>

<p><b>PHYSICAL - 4</b>: The high life affords Zorin the opportunity to dress extremely well. But he wouldn't want to get his suit dirty.</p>

<![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/knox.jpg" align=right hspace=4 vspace=4>Eric Knox (Sam Rockwell), is a brilliant young scientist and the founder of Knox Industries. His expertise is in voice recognition software and his signiture product will allow computer systems to map a voice to a person like a fingerprint. When Knox is kidnapped and his software is stolen, an elite team of three female private investigators are called in to work on the case: <i>Charlie's Angels</i>.</p>

<p>Knox Industries president Vivian Wood (Kelly Lynch) hires Charles Townsend and his girls to find Knox and bring back the software and she points them to the man who tried to buy Knox Industries and was recently spurned, Roger Corwin (Tim Curry), owner of Red Star Systems. His company specializes in satellite tracking and Knox's software would undoubtedly allow him to find anyone in the world just by the sound of their voice.</p>

<p>The girls infiltrate Red Star and steal Corwin's system software to locate the stolen Knox software. In the meantime, Knox beds one of the Angels, Dylan (Drew Barrymore), and gains her trust. Before they realize what's happening however, Knox turns on Dylan, revealing that the kidnapping was a setup and that Red Star was nothing but a red herring. In fact, the girls were used to steal Red Star's software for Knox to use, and he will use it to settle a personal vendetta against the girls' boss. Knox claims that Charlie killed his father when they were in Army Intelligence together. He facts are wrong, but try telling that to a vengeful son.</p>

<p>Ultimately, all of Knox's smarts and charm can't save him from the relentless Angels, intent on saving their boss and mentor. Knox eventually flies a helicopter to Charlie's remote beach house and readies a heatseeker. The Angels miraculously turn the missle against the chopper, and Knox perishes in a huge fireball over the ocean. His attempt at revenge was all in vain, and it proved to be a terrible waste of a creative, talented mind.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p><b>INTELLIGENCE - 8</b>: An innovative genius in his field, Knox brings plenty of smarts to the table as a villain.</p>

<p><b>POWER - 5</b>: Not much of a fighter, but he can use a gun, a helicopter, and - most importantly - a computer.</p>

<p><b>VILENESS - 9</b>: He's devious, merciless, and full of himself, a bad combo for the good guys (or gals).</p>

<p><b>SWAY - 5</b>: Too unsure of himself to be forceful, but Knox does a fair job of lulling victims into thinking he's an innocent.</p>

<p><b>PURITY - 10</b>: Exacting revenge for his late dad will send any son to the edge, and Knox uses his intellect to go well beyond.</p>

<p><b>PHYSICAL - 4</b>: Knox plays the nerdy enigma role for a while before adpoting his sex-machine-wannabe guise.</p>

<![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/qualen.jpg" align=right hspace=4 vspace=4>Eric Qualen (John Lithgow) is an international terrorist with the ability to move large amounts of US currency around the world. Hence his plan to hijack a Treasury plane transporting $100 million with a specially-trained gang and a daring plan involving a plane-to-plane heist. When the heist is foiled by an FBI agent, the planes crash and the three cases containing all the money are lost in the Colorado Rockies. So, his gang poses as stranded hikers and calls for help from the local Colorado Mountain Rescue, who sends Gabe Walker (Sylvester Stallone) and Hal Tucker (Michael Rooker). They are forced to help the gang find the cases through the dangerous terrain.</p>

<p>Upon finding the first case, Walker is able to escape and destroys the case in the process. This sets off a race between Walker and the gang to see who can find the cases first, and who will be able to survive the mountains. Qualen has to continually yell with his extreme accent to keep his gang under control, but he does lead them. Even when the dirty Treasury officer who helped pull the inside job tries to make a power play, Qualen mercilessly executes the only other helicopter pilot (and his love interest) to ensure his own survival. In the end, Qualen does an awful lot of snarling and cussing, but not enough to pull off his mission.</p>

<p>It's kind of interesting: Qualen seems to be in charge, but very often relies on others to get things done. The whole plan on making millions is dependent on his ability to move the large US currency in those cases to clients around the world, but he also needed the Treasury agent in the first place, as well as the muscle to pull it off. In the Rockies, Qualen is out of his element, relying on Hal Tucker to lead him and the gang to the cases, but of course, Tucker will slow him down on purpose to allow Gabe to get the drop on them. You could say that as soon as the planes crashed, this operation should have been scrapped, but give the guy some credit for at least trying to cash in on $100 million, even if the chances of succeeding were slim to none.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p><b>INTELLIGENCE - 6</b>: Qualen has put together a pretty ballsy plan to rob the US Treasury, and if not for the FBI's intrusion, might have pulled it off. His helicopter piloting skills also come in handy.</p>

<p><b>POWER - 5</b>: He is capable with the gun and can even put up a fight with Sly Stallone, but only for a little while.</p>

<p><b>VILENESS - 10</b>: Expendable gangs are only part of a mastermind's plans. Extreme determination and mercilessness is another part.</p>

<p><b>SWAY - 8</b>: Besides the over-the-top accent and a few bipolar moments, Qualen was pretty intimidating and always in command of things.</p>

<p><b>PURITY - 9</b>: Seems to be driven to a fault, but then again, you could say he's willing to go the extra mile to succeed in his evil plans.</p>

<p><b>PHYSICAL - 5</b>: Is it possible to look greasy on the coldest mountaintop? Yes, it is.</p>

<![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/kurgan.jpg" align=right hspace=4 vspace=4>Big, ugly, powerful, rude, scary, and damn good with a sword: this describes the Kurgan (Clancy Brown) fairly well, but the only way to get a feel for what this guy can do is to see him in action. Watch as he slaughters and tortures the poor mortals who have no chance in a fight against him. Witness the annihilation be brings upon everyone in his path. Merciless and arrogant, The Kurgan rides through time on the strength of those other immortals he has killed, beheading them and swallowing their power with the goal of being the last immortal left as the ultimate Prize to be won. But, there are other immortals out there...</p>

<p>Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) is a Scottish Highlander growing up in the early 16th century. He has been blessed (or cursed) with the powers of the Quickening as well, and once he realizes his capabilities as a warrior, he sets out to protect his own head before The Kurgan can add it to his collection. Over hundreds of years, the battle rages across the world between immortals until, finally, in 1985, The Kurgan and MacLeod cross paths again in New York City. Given the setting, some war techniques will have to change to ensure these two can battle to the death without seeing such nuisances as the cops getting involved. In the meantime, MacLeod gets "distracted" by a love interest whom is soon kidnapped by the Kurgan. Forced to fight for the Prize at last, MacLeod accepts the challenge from the Kurgan and the war is on.</p>

<p>Regardless of the country or time, however, the Kurgan is relentless in his quest for the Prize. He viciously runs over people in his path, but not before having fun and taunting them incessantly. His looks range from medieval maniac to goth nightmare, but he remains large and in charge wherever he roams. In the case of MacLeod however, he knows the Kurgan can be wounded. His teacher, Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez (Sean Connery) left the giant with a large gash in his neck, nearly beheading him. But the wound didn't save MacLeod's mentor from being killed in the end. Nor did it save MacLeod's first love from being raped by the maniac. In the end, MacLeod does avenge both Ramirez and his love, decapitating the Kurgan atop a New York City rooftop. The world may have been given a reprieve from an evil and powerful immortal lurking about, but for now MacLeod can take pride in the fact he took down one of the scariest dudes ever to walk the Earth.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p><b>INTELLIGENCE - 6</b>: He's no supervillain, but the Kurgan is smart enough to work his way through his fellow immortals.</p>

<p><b>POWER - 8</b>: His supernatural powers and strength give him the edge over any mortal, and make for incredible battles with Connor MacLeod.</p>

<p><b>VILENESS - 10</b>: For everything this guy's done in the past <i>few millenia</i>, his score should probably be a <i>20</i>.</p>

<p><b>SWAY - 9</b>: One of the darkest voices in history is complemented with a wicked sense of humor, usually leading to sheer terror.</p>

<p><b>PURITY - 9</b>: The Kurgan is absolutely consumed by the quest for immortality, destroying anything in his way with an evil sneer. But not in a church.</p>

<p><b>PHYSICAL - 10</b>: This is what Darth Vader <i>should have</i> looked like underneath the helmet.</p>

<![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/luthor.jpg" align=right hspace=4 vspace=4>Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) is so dangerous and filled with evil that it's hard to imagine the world being able to stop him without Superman (Christopher Reeve) on its side. This self-proclaimed "greatest criminal mind" certainly earns respect with numerous attacks on the planet, not to mention the entire state of California. Lex found an enemy in the Man of Steel, and with the discovery of kryptonite, was able to exploit one of Supes' very few weak spots.</p>

<p>Luthor's first plan was to sink California into the Pacific Ocean by blasting the San Andreas Fault with giant missles. When that failed, he joined forces with General Zod, hoping his association with a guy with the same Kryptonian powers Superman possessed would help his own cause. Luckily, Luthor was out of action for <i>Superman III</i>, but he would return with another devious plan: create a nemesis out of Superman's DNA. Nuclear Man was born, but soon fell to the Last Son of Krypton, as did Luthor's dreams of ruling the world... again.</p>

<p>Lex is 100% criminal. He loves living the high life and stepping on the little people, intent on asserting his will on those who oppose him. He formed a unique connection with Superman, for as noble and courageous as the Man of Steel was, Luthor would counter by being just as nefarious and vile. Eventually, Luthor would be caught, and only the righteousness of Superman would save the supervillain from being pummelled into powder for his evil deeds. The question at this point: will we ever see Superman battle Lex Luthor on the big screen again? There seems to be no prison that can hold gool old' Lex, except for the one that's keeping a new <i>Superman</i> series in pre-production hell.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p><b>INTELLIGENCE - 9</b>: He is a genius, no doubt, but what the hell is he doing with Otis for a right-hand man?</p>

<p><b>POWER - 4</b>: Weak, and a bit scared when it comes to physical altercations.</p>

<p><b>VILENESS - 10</b>: Millions of lives are at stake whenever this guy puts another plan into action.</p>

<p><b>SWAY - 9</b>: Lex loves to talk, and hear himself talk, and can match wits with anyone. Extra points for being able to make Superman <i>mad</i>.</p>

<p><b>PURITY - 10</b>: Power has absolutely corrupted Luthor. He won't stop and will gleefully hurt more people in the process.</p>

<p><b>PHYSICAL - 4</b>: He's got an interesting wardrobe; not as wild as The Joker, but still unique.</p>

<![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/twoface.jpg" align=right hspace=4 vspace=4>Gotham's District Attorney Harvey Dent (Tommy Lee Jones, not Billy Dee Williams) was merely doing his job when the mobster he was quentioning in court threw a container of acid in his face. Batman (Val Kilmer) was too late to save Dent from the horrific effects the mixture had on his face and, even worse, his mind. Dent emerged from it still alive, but half of him had completely changed. He was now of two minds on every decision, and the ghastly half of his body earned him the moniker of Two-Face.</p>

<p>Two-Face trashed the city wherever he went, including an elaborate bank robbery that left the Statue of Liberty - and Batman - in shambles. He would also attack during the Circus, threatening the VIP's and every citizen inside with an explosive death. The Flying Graysons would save the day, but all but one would pay with their lives. Dick Grayson (Chris O'Donnell) would survive and vow revenge against the two-faced gangster.</p>

<p>Soon, Two-Face would encounter <a href="/mofos/archives/000244.shtml">The Riddler</a> (Jim Carrey), a fellow no-goodnik with plans to rob Gotham and take down the city's Dark Knight. And Grayson would team up with Bruce Wayne to form the dynamic duo of Batman & Robin. The tag teams would do battle, leading to a big fight at Riddler's Techno Hideout of Death. Batman would dispatch the man in green, but Two-Face would be there ready for the kill. Batman outwitted Two-Face, using his lucky coin against him. Tossing the coin to decide Batman's fate, Two-Face would be surprised by a dozen other coins getting thrown by Batman into the mix. Two-Face would plunge to his death, bound to fate by his own scales of justice.</p>

<p>Intelligent and swift in his judgments, Two-Face sought revenge and riches using the methods many of the defendants in his trials had used. Dent went well beyond the law and was finally taken down by those who uphold it.</p>]]>

<p><b>VILENESS - 9</b>: He terrorized Gotham, threatening everyone in his path.</p>

<p><b>SWAY - 7</b>: Two-Face loved to talk, probably a side effect of his former occupation.</p>

<![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/xanderdrax.jpg" align=right hspace=4 vspace=4>Not long before the Nazis hit it big, the world was threatened by Xander Drax (Treat Williams), an eccentric madman obsessed with capturing the Skulls of Touganda, three artifacts that supposedly possess incredible power. Drax and his goons scour the planet looking for the skulls and, in the process, become enemies with the do-gooder Phantom (Billy Zane). This hero in a purple suit seems to have been defending justice in the Bengalla woods for hundreds of years, and one of Drax's goons even claims to have killed the Phantom at one point.</p>

<p>Drax is being investigated by a newspaper publisher back in New York City, and soon takes his daughter, Diana (Kristy Swanson), hostage. Diana's old flame Kit Walker is actually the alter ego of the Phantom, so the Ghost Who Walks conveniently shows up to try and rescue the damsel in distress. Eventually, Drax and his goons are too much for the Phantom, and the entire crew finds itself headed to the friendly-sounding Devil's Vortex to locate the final skull. They run into the Singh Brotherhood, protectors of the skull and sworn enemy of the Phantom. Drax captures the third skull and witnesses the incredible power of the skulls, much too late to realize he cannot control it.</p>

<p>Xander Drax is enigmatic and larger than life, with an ego unmatched by any man. He seems to take great joy in his wicked deeds, including hiding a pair of razor blades for a scientist in his microscope. Drax has no allegiances, always watching out for number one, but you have to think he was too naive to think he could control a power so legendary as the Skulls of Touganda.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p><b>INTELLIGENCE - 6</b>: Xander Drax is bold and smart, certainly smarter than the thugs on his payroll.</p>

<p><b>POWER - 4</b>: Drax has surrounded himself with vicious bruisers more than capable of doing the physical stuff for him.</p>

<p><b>VILENESS - 8</b>: He'll sacrifice his right hand man to get what he wants, not to mention any innocents who get in the way.</p>

<![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/poisonivy.jpg" align=right hspace=4 vspace=4>Dr. Pamela Isley (Uma Thurman) was a shy, skittish genius with a love for plants and a true concern for their fate, given the increasing industrialization of the world and the threat on rainforests. With so many toxins in the atmosphere, Mother Earth was certainly at risk and there wasn't much Mother Nature could do about it. That is, not until Dr. Isley stumbled upon a vile experiment which bastardized her research into a way to mutate human strength. Dr. Isley was supposedly killed by Dr. Woodrue, the greedy scientist behind the serum which turned serial killer Antonio Diego into the monstrous Bane. Instead, Dr. Woodrue would inadvertantly turn Dr. Isely into a more powerful being as well: Poison Ivy.</p>

<p>The serum - mixed with Dr. Isley's research matierials - would have a unique effect on her body. With her blood replaced with aloe and chlorophyll skin, Poison Ivy walks into Gotham City in search of the man who could bring about real change because of his money and power: Bruce Wayne (George Clooney). After Wayne shoots down Dr. Isley's demands to deindustrialize the planet, Poison Ivy set about to bring Gotham to its knees. She attempts to steal a priceless set of Wayne diamonds during a charity ball. This is where she first encounters Gotham's protectors, Batman & Robin. However, while the beautiful and exotic villain hypnotizing pheremones easily seduce everyone in the room, they are no match for the other bad guy that shows up looking for the diamonds: <a href="/mofos/archives/000677.shtml">Mr. Freeze</a> (Arnold Schwarzenegger). Outmanned and outgunned, Ivy hands the ice over to the Iceman, but she recognizes he could be an eventual ally.</p>

<p>Sure enough, Freeze finds himself in Arkham Asylum after being captured by Batman. Poison Ivy brings along Bane to bash down the door, and Ivy provides Freeze with his coveted cold suit. Now, together, the two villains devise a plan: freeze the entire planet, allowing Mother Nature to reclaim what is rightfully hers. Ivy helps Freeze recover his freezing equipment, but mercilessly does in the only person Freeze ever cared about: his wife, lying in cryostasis, waiting for a cure to her disease. This enrages Freeze, but he takes it all out on Batman, whom Poison Ivy blamed Mrs. Freeze's death on.</p>

<p>Eventually, Batman & Robin find their way to Poison Ivy's lair, and after battling Bane, Ivy is not much of a challenge. In fact, she's done in by newcomer Batgirl (Alicia Silverstone), who succeeds in getting Ivy caught in her own flytrap. Arkham Asylym would welcome Poison Ivy as its guest this time, but she would be reunited with an old friend when Mr. Freeze returns. He discovered the truth about Ivy unpluging his wife's statis unit, and his wife was saved by Batman. And now Poison Ivy is in for a big slice of revenge, best served cold, from Mr. Freeze.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p><b>INTELLIGENCE - 8</b>: Dr. Isley's research was meant for good, but abused for evil purposes - eventually, her own.</p>

<p><b>POWER - 4</b>: Not counting her poisonous lips, Ivy wasn't much of a physical danger to anyone.</p>

<p><b>VILENESS - 7</b>: She cares little for the "mammals" of Gotham, and is all too willing to unplug Mrs. Fries' statis chamber.</p>

<p><b>SWAY - 6</b>: Indeed, she could ensnare men even without the pheremones. But they helped a lot.</p>

<p><b>PURITY - 8</b>: Ivy maintains that Mother Nature should retake control of the planet, but her goals are far too radical to be embraced.</p>

<p><b>PHYSICAL - 8</b>: The mousy scientist becomes a bombshell, with the sexy walk and talk to match.</p>

<![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/freeze.jpg" align=right hspace=4 vspace=4>Dr. Victor Fries (Arnold Schwarzenegger) was working on a cure for his wife's disease (MacGregor Syndrome) when he fell into a giant vat of liquid nitrogen. The accident rendered him unable to live in the normal world, but being the genius he was, he designed a cold suit that would allow him to continue living and working for a cure. However, his ice machines would require diamonds to run, and the man they call Mr. Freeze would soon enter a world of crime, stealing diamonds to keep his dreams of finding a cure - and himself - alive.</p>

<p>Gotham City, a home for many wealthy and influential citizens, has proven to be a good source of diamonds for Freeze. And when a charity ball announces it will feature the Wayne diamonds, Freeze crashes the party. Already in attendance, it turns out, are Gotham's own Batman & Robin, there to protect the jewels. They are distracted by Freeze's goons and by a stranger in town, the beautiful and exotic <a href="/mofos/archives/000678.shtml">Poison Ivy</a> (Uma Thurman). Freeze finds her holding the diamonds and she hands them over after discovering her pheremone dust is no match for Freeze's cold blood.</p>

<p>Freeze would meet Ivy again at Arkham Asylym after being locked up by Batman. However, Ivy was there to break Freeze out. She wanted to form a pact with the scientist to strike back at Gotham once and for all. By utilizing the new Gotham telescope and Freeze's own ice gun, the duo set out to freeze the entire planet, bringing an end to man's arrogance and beginning a new era led by Mr. Freeze himself. Poison Ivy, of course, was interested in seeing man destroyed and Mother Nature returning to power.</p>

<p>Things would take a terrible turn, however, when during a fight with Batman, Freeze's wife's statis chamber would be deactivated. Ivy reports this news to Freeze, who blows his top. He shows no mercy on his way to the Gotham Observatory, and immediately sets out to freeze the world. Batman would arrive, of course, and stop Freeze, but not before he revealed the truth to the scientist: Ivy unplugged his wife's chamber herself. Freeze was headed back to the cooler, but Batman promised he could continue his work on finding a cure for MacGregor Syndrome. Both men understand the importance of family, as Batman needed Freeze's work to cure his butler Alfred and Freeze was more than happy to try to save his wife. Meanwhile, he would also have the chance to exact a little revenge on his new cell mate at Arkham Asylum: Poison Ivy. Mother Nature is in for a long sentence.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p><b>INTELLIGENCE - 8</b>: The doctor is well-read, highly-skilled, and resourceful - a good match for Batman.</p>

<p><b>POWER - 7</b>: Has incredible size and strength, but relies heavily on his cold suit, which needs constant diamond recharging.</p>

<p><b>VILENESS - 8</b>: Willing to freeze anyone, giving them about 14 minutes to thaw out or die.</p>

<p><b>SWAY - 5</b>: Unleashes terrible puns with a thick accent, but no one can doubt his sincerity.</p>

<p><b>PURITY - 6</b>: Out of love, Freeze will resort to any means to accomplish his ultimate goal, which is to find a cure for his wife's disease. All this for a <i>good</i> cause.</p>

<p><b>PHYSICAL - 8</b>: Looks like a frozen RoboCop, but that's still scary enough to send most running the other way.</p>

<![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/kingpin.jpg" align=right hspace=4 vspace=4>Wilson Fisk (Michael Clarke Duncan) is a powerful and corrupt businessman. He has many associates willing to do whatever he says, and when he needs special jobs taken care of, Fisk often hires outside help in the form of murderers and assassins. He is a businessman, and he only settles for the best. He's been burned before, like years ago when a palooka named Jack Murdock was supposed to throw a fight for him but didn't. Murdock's blind kid listened as the fighter was pummelled to death outside the arena, and the mysterious figure known as the Kingpin left his calling card - a rose on the dead body.</p>

<p>Wilson Fisk is the Kingpin, although the cops and the media have been trying to prove the true identity of the gangster for years. And Jack Murdock's blind kid just so happened to grow up and become a superhero. Daredevil (Ben Affleck) has been patrolling the streets of the city for years, and during the day Matt Murdock has been working as a lawyer. When the law doesn't work for him, he takes it into his own hands, and he's been doing it for years, on the trail of the man who murdered his father.</p>

<p>When one of Fisk's associates, Nikolas Natchios, asks to leave the business, Fisk seems to agree that it's time for him to go, but behind his back, he hires an assassin to take Natchios out. In turn, Fisk plans to pin evidence on Natchios to make him look like the long-rumored "Kingpin." <a href="/mofos/archives/000672.shtml">Bullseye</a> arrives in town and promptly kills Natchios, and even pins the crime on Daredevil. The superhero arrived in time to make Bullseye miss once, but Bullseye turned the hero's weapon on Natchios. Now Natchios' daughter blames Daredevil - as do the authorities - and the Kingpin has only one loose end to tie up: kill Daredevil. Bullseye volunteers for the job, but eventually fails. And Daredevil is coming for the Kingpin.</p>

<p>Fisk is a massive man with giant muscles, and when the Man Without Fear decides to fight the Kingpin one on one, you have to wonder why Fisk hires outside help. He pummells Daredevil, tossing him around his plush office like a rag doll. Eventually, he unmasks the hero to find the blind lawyer Matt Murdock underneath, and he laughs. Ironic, yes, that a blind man is able to be so well-skilled as a fighter, but when he tells Matt that it was he who killed his father all those years ago, irony turns to revenge. Daredevil fights back and has Kingpin set up for the kill, and finally relents. He lets Fisk live because he can show mercy, and because he is the good guy, unlike the Kingpin. The gangster lives with the knowledge that a blind man knows his secret, but Daredevil knows that Fisk knows his as well.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p><b>INTELLIGENCE - 6</b>: This mobster is a shrewd businessman who has kept his true identity hidden for many years.</p>

<p><b>POWER - 7</b>: He is big and superstrong, but he's not too fast.</p>

<p><b>VILENESS - 9</b>: Think his enemies should worry? Fisk's business associates seem to die just as often.</p>

<p><b>SWAY - 7</b>: Fisk is smooth and puts on a good face for the public. No wonder nobody could figure out he was the Kingpin.</p>

<p><b>PURITY - 8</b>: Money and power drive this giant gangster, and he believes the town belongs to him.</p>

<p><b>PHYSICAL - 6</b>: Fisk is built like a sequoia, and even his smile seems to be menacing.</p>

<![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/bullseye.jpg" align=right hspace=4 vspace=4>When the Kingpin has a problem, the Kingpin calls his problem solver. Bullseye (Colin Farrell) is an intense Irish assassin with a target permanently affixed to his forehead. He's hired for the toughest jobs because he is the best. He takes his targets seriously, so much so that he never misses. Not once. That is, not until Daredevil (Ben Affleck) makes him miss.</p>

<p><a href="/mofos/archives/000673.shtml">Kingpin</a> - real name, Wilson Fisk (Michael Clarke Duncan) - hires Bullseye to take out one of his top associates, Nikolas Natchios. It seems Natchios wants out of the crime business, but for Fisk, he only knows of one way to get out, and it ain't alive. So Bullseye is brought in to finish him off. Meanwhile, Daredevil has been searching for the Kingpin for years, and when he sees Natchios is in danger, he tags along. He arrives just in time to meet Bullseye, who tries to get rid of the blind superhero before he takes care of Natchios. But Daredevil avoids Bullseye's darts. Bullseye MISSES. "I never miss!"</p>

<p>He does eventually accomplish his mission, and even manages to make it look like Daredevil killed Natchios. But Bullseye is enraged by the Man Without Fear. Kingpin is happy with his work, but realizes Daredevil will remain a problem. Bullseye volunteers for the job of killing the hero, free of charge. All because Daredevil made him miss. But while Bullseye is on the trail of Daredevil, so is Elektra, Natchios' daughter.</p>

<p>Believing Daredevil to be her father's killer, Elektra confronts Daredevil. Unbeknownst to her, the man behind the mask is Matt Murdock, the man she has fallen in love with. Elektra gets the upper hand on Daredevil and unmasks him, sending her reeling with emotion. And then Bullseye arrives. Elektra is a well-trained fighter, but she's not much of a match for Bullseye. He stabs her through the chest and leaves her for dead. Daredevil watches as Elektra slips away, and soon he's off to find Bullseye. They end up fighting in a local church, and Bullseye uses the giant organ's pipes to his advantage, deafening Daredevil's powerful ears. But the blind man soon stages a comeback, making Bullseye miss many more times and ultimately kicking him through a stained-glass window high above the street to his (supposed) death. He lands on the car of reporter Ben Urich, the man who has been tracking the Daredevil story. Bullseye, indeed.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p><b>INTELLIGENCE - 5</b>: Bullseye is the muscle for the Kingpin; he's not behind any master plans of his own.</p>

<p><b>POWER - 8</b>: His fighting skills are good, but his throwing skills are amazing. Hence the name.</p>

<p><b>VILENESS - 9</b>: Nobody is safe near this guy, even if you're in a bar or a church.</p>

<p><b>SWAY - 7</b>: His intense stare is enough to intimidate most people, probably moreso than his Irish accent.</p>

<p><b>PURITY - 10</b>: He's an assassin paid to do what he's told, but when Daredevil makes him miss, Bullseye makes the job very personal.</p>

<p><b>PHYSICAL - 7</b>: Seems like your average psychopath until he reveals the bullseye cut into his head.</p>

<![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/octavius.jpg" align=right hspace=4 vspace=4>Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina) is a genius in the field of fusion, and lucky for him, his experiments are being funded by Oscorp's current CEO Harry Osborne (James Franco), who took over for his <a href="/mofos/archives/000198.shtml">late father</a>. Harry's best buddy Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is there to witness the unveiling of Octavius' latest venture, an elaborate fusion experiment undertaken with the hopes of providing an infinite supply of cheap energy for everyone. However, the demonstration turns into a disaster when the technology backfires on Octavius, killing his wife and causing four large impenetrable mechanical arms to be permanently attached to his body. The artificial intelligence used to operate the arms soon take over Octavius' own mind, turning him from a philanthropic visionary into an evil and powerful supervillain.</p>

<p>And of course, Spider-Man is there to take on the man dubbed "Doctor Octopus" by the local paper. Octavius disappears from sight after his fateful experiment, but he passes the time in hiding by assembling the machinery and technology to rebuild the same fusion device, this time much bigger. There is still one piece missing, though, and Octavius can only get it from Oscorp, and specifically, Harry Osborn. Harry may be physically threatened when Octavius climbs up the side of a building to Harry's penthouse to confront him, but since Spider-Man is still on the loose, Harry is willing to make a deal with Octavius: bring him Spider-Man, he'll give him whatever he needs. The first step is to find Peter Parker, who takes the webslinger's pictures.</p>

<p>"Doc Ock" does find Parker together with Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), and Octavius takes M.J. hostage, telling Parker to deliver Spider-Man or else. When Spidey does arrive, he and Ock rumble throughout the city. Octavius puts all kinds of civilians at risk, especially a subway car full of people. Spidey miraculously saves them, but at great physical expense. Octavius easily captures him and takes him to Harry. Once Spider-Man is delivered to Harry, Octavius runs off with his winnings. In the meantime, Harry discovers the incredible truth about Spider-Man's true identity: he is Peter Parker, his best friend.</p>

<p>Soon enough, Spider-Man is back on his feet, off to battle Octavius. In an abandoned building, the doctor has his new fusion experiment in high gear when Spidey arrives. Octavius is intent on developing the means to generate incredible power, but Spider-Man is trying to prevent the city from being destroyed should that power become unstable, as it did in Octavius' original experiment. Another battle begins, and Spider-Man finds a way to electrocute Octavius, disrupting the AI's control over the scientist and allowing the good doctor to return to his senses. Octavius realizes the mechanical arms have been controlling him, and the only way to save the city from certain destruction - and to save his soul - is to collapse the entire building into the bay. Octavius caves in everything by using the arms to rip apart his experiment, and he sinks into the ocean with his creation. With the arms still attached to his body, one cannot be certain if the man will ever be separated from the machine.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p><b>INTELLIGENCE - 8</b>: Octavius is a great scientist, and his brain was entirely at the disposal of the AI to build another powerful and destructive force.</p>

<p><b>POWER - 9</b>: His mechanical arms are impervious to just about everything, and boy can they move fast to Octavius' commands.</p>

<p><b>VILENESS - 8</b>: What's worse than dangling poor old Aunt May from the rooftops? Not a whole lot.</p>

<p><b>SWAY - 7</b>: He is especially vicious and focused, especially while trading barbs with Spider-Man in the midst of endangering numerous civilians.</p>

<p><b>PURITY - 5</b>: The AI running the mechanical arms did enough to put the city in great danger, but Octavius was finally able to overcome it.</p>

<p><b>PHYSICAL - 9</b>: The arms just about cover up the fact Octavius is a chubby older scientist.</p>

<![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/saddam.jpg" align=right hspace=4 vspace=4>Saddam Hussein (voiced by Matt Stone) isn't the leader of Iraq anymore. No, not after a pack of wild dogs (or Canadians) ripped him limb from limb. Now he resides in Hell, but what is not quite as expected is his ability to use his scheming ways <i>down there</i> as well. Sure enough, that sandy little butthole Saddam has gotten his claws into Satan (voiced by Trey Parker) and the two now represent a truly unholy alliance which could bring about the end of the world as we know it.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, up in South Park, the citizens are doing a good enough job of their own raising Hell on Earth. The parents of the town have struck up a movement to eliminate the two people they believe are most responsible for the filth and depravity their children have been exposed to: Terrance and Philip. These two legendary Canadian entertainers are set to be martyred by the South Park parents' coalition. Deep in Hell, Satan is planning his attack while Saddam is encouraging him, not to mention engaging in all matter of strange sexual acts with the giant red demon. Saddam insults and orders Satan around, and Satan takes it, just like a little bitch.</p>

<p>Kenny McCormick, one of South Park's unluckiest little citizens, dies and finds himself on Satan's doorstep. He sees that Saddam is taking advantage of the situation and of his giant horned lover. Satan, being the sensitive harbinger of evil he is, feels conflicted between his desire for the evil Saddam and his will to stand on his own two, umm, <i>cloven hooves</i>. Kenny tries to advise Satan on what to do, but while Saddam professes his willingness to change, Satan is not so sure. In the end, the demon is willing to give things with his lover another shot.</p>

<p>Soon enough, the blood of Terrance and Philip are spilled on American soil, and Satan soon ascends to the surface of Earth, Saddam in tow. Satan announces that because of mankind's foolishness, he is now able to take over the entire world. Saddam, on the other hand, believes this is his chance to regain some kind of power, and commands mankind to bow to him. Satan is taken aback by this brazen abuse of power. Kenny tells Satan that he has to stand up for himself (at least, I think Kenny said that). Satan finally does, and lets Saddam know exactly what he thinks. Saddam continues to call him name, showing no sensitivity for what Satan has gone through, so Satan rids mankind of Saddam by casting him down back into Hell, where he is impaled and (hopefully) dies. Again.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p><b>INTELLIGENCE - 6</b>: This former military leader is ready and willing to take power as soon as he can.</p>

<p><b>POWER - 2</b>: Saddam can't do anything without Satan. That much is obvious.</p>

<p><b>VILENESS - 10</b>: Not only does he like to bang Satan, but I bet the Skeet Ulrich poster was his idea too. Chilling.</p>

<p><b>SWAY - 7</b>: His psychological warfare works for a long time on Satan until the Red Beast finally grows a set.</p>

<p><b>PURITY - 10</b>: The former Iraqi ruler is focused on regaining power at any cost, even by getting in bed (literally) with the Ruler of All That Is Evil.</p>

<p><b>PHYSICAL - 3</b>: Between Satan and Saddam, I think we can see exactly who the little bitch is.</p>

<![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/unicron.jpg" align=right hspace=4 vspace=4>A giant planet moves through our universe, eating everything in its way. This destructive force is not just a planet, however: it is a Transformer. The mighty Unicron (voiced by Orson Welles) slowly works its way through powerless planets, eating everything without pity. It fears no power except for one: the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. The symbol of leadership for the valiant do-good Transformers rests inside the steel housing of Optimus Prime, the courageous captain of the Autobots. Therefore, Optimus Price becomes a target.</p>

<p>Another being hoping to destroy Prime is long-time Decepticon leader, Megatron. Together with his troops, he decides to take out the Autobots once and for all, taking over a shuttle on the home planet of Cybertron bound for Earth. The Autobots expect this shuttle to be carrying their friends, but instead it carries a sneak attack. Autobot City comes under attack and eventually Prime saves the day. The attack ends when Prime finally puts Megatron down, but not before being fatally injured. The Deceptacons retreat, but Prime is done for. He passes on the Matrix of Leadership to his top soldier, Ultra Magnus, and shuts down. In the process, the young upstrart Autobot known as Hot Rod gets involved when the Matrix falls into his hands before it gets to Magnus. (I wonder what that means...)</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the Deceptacons are also "welcoming" a new leader: the self-appointed Emperor, Starscream. His coronation - and reign - is interrupted, however, by a group of unfamiliar Transformers, led by someone called Galvatron. Turns out when the Deceptacons retreated, they threw their injured comrades into deep space. Unicron drifted into the same space and gobbled them up, but not before realizing that these Deceptacons had some use. He reenergized their bodies with new form, and dubbed Megatron with the new name: Galvatron. His mission: destroy the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, or die. Galvatron accepts, and upon locating the rest of the Deceptacons, destroys Starscream. He takes control of the group and leads them to destroy the Autobots.</p>

<p>The battle between the Autobots and Deceptacons rages on, from Earth to space to the far reaches of the planet Junk. Eventually, the bad guys catch up with the good guys, and Ultra Magnus finds himself unable to use the power of the Matrix to lead the Autobots to victory. He is blown apart and Galvatron grabs the Matrix, heading back to Unicron. Hot Rod takes command and goes after the Deceptacons. Ultimately, Unicron becomes a common enemy of all Transformers when he decides to eat Cybertron, the Transformers' home planet. Deep inside the bowels of Unicron, Hot Rod and Galvatron fight to the death, and when Hot Rod gets his hands on the Matrix, he is able to unleash its power. He transforms into Rodimus Prime and kicks Galvatron's ass, and the Matrix ignites an explosive chain reaction inside Unicron. He explodes, sending his giant head into orbit of Cybertron.</p>]]>

<p><b>PHYSICAL - 10</b>: If something <i>that big</i> was coming, you'd run too.</p>
