I think this was Sabertooth's main problem. He was a menacing and often times scary X-Villain in the beginning and as Wolverine became more popular they had to tone down how much he struggled for a victory against Creed. To the point that everyone is like "Oh, Sabertooth again. Hey Wolverine can you punch this guy once and we can all go home..."

The Wolverine/Sabretooth healing factor also got majorly out of hand, and there were no longer any stakes in their fights. I miss the days when a six times lethal for a bull elephant dose of poison would knock Wolverine out for a couple hours. Heck, I just read an old Claremont/Davis issue where Wolvie was drunk!

Seeing "FF" and "Yu" on the same promo art made my brain think Marvel was giving me the finger for about a quarter of a second.

@MyraMyraMyra: I've got some thoughts on the topic of Apocalypse that might make another blog post. As for the villains changing sides, I agree that some of them have made for great stories or even better versions of the characters. My main concern is that the villain pool is being drained faster than it can be properly filled. When your new ideas are "a new Brotherhood... but they're all girls!" and "a new Hellfire Club... but they're all nine!" it may be better to rely on the classics, at least until you can create a few more baddies on par with Cassandra Nova.

@daak1212: That's exactly what happened to her. The psychological strain was what caused her to quit the Brotherhood and join the X-men, and since Ms. Marvel spent a lot of time with the X-Men between losing her powers and memories and becoming Binary, the X-Men weren't exactly thrilled to take on Rogue.

Why are you including Juggs on this list? He's still clearly a villain.

I included several characters who have since gone back to their villainous ways. This was more a rundown of villains who spent a significant amount of time on the heroic side, whether they stayed there or not. Juggernaut has been flip-flopping a lot lately. He went from X-men (and ExCalibur) back to villainy and then became a Thunderbolt, and only in Fear Itself did he fully return again to villainy.

Wasn't expecting a nod to Julie Newmar's costume from the Adam West series, but no complaints here. I still suspect this is another prototype, though. The mask looks a little rough (Although that could be the quality of the camera.) Hathaway did imply that the Cat Suit would be a work in progress throughout the film.
