Now That The First Inductees Have Been Announced...

The pre-selection portion of the second round of inductees is open!

To nominate a villian, several factors MUST be true.

This is a populist blog feature, meaning that nominees should be recognizable to a reasonable portion of the general public. What's meant be this is that there must be a reasonable chance that average joe blog reader would have ever heard of the villain you're nominating. One of The Flash's rogues gallery villains like "Mirror Master" is acceptable since despite being obscure, he's been in the live action Flash series and the animated Justice League Unlimited. A villain like "Razorback" who menaced Spiderman once in a single issue of the comic and turned out to be kind of a good guy would never be considered,



but "Electro" or "The Vulture" who have yet to make a movie appearance would be an acceptable nominee since they've been in the classic Spiderman cartoon and had innumerable appearances in the comics.

Another factor is that they must be DOMINANT. Just like sports halls of fame, The Supervillain Hall of Fame inductees must be dominant against one or more superheroes. It's no good nominating a villain that is nothing more than comic relief, trashed by the hero repeatedly and with ease.

Finally, with the possible exception of Lex Luthor and The Kingpin, The Supervillain Hall of Fame prefers to see colourful costomed villains rather than evil businessmen.

So please enter your nominees in the comments section and keep checking to see what's new here at The Supervillain Hall of Fame!
