Masters of Evil

Let's do something different. Let's do evil.

There's a need for villainy after the mutant criminals left for Krakoa. There have been attempts, but nobody can form the Masters of Evil... until now.

Pick as many villains as you want to be members of this new version of the Masters, but you can't pick any mutants. Don't go overboard, cosmic abstracts won't have any motive to join the team. Above all else, have fun!

Anyone Enjoy Making Dream Teams? Aka making up Teams you think are interesting? Doesn't matter if the members are dead, doesn't matter if you use teams/members others use.. really curious what other people think up!

My first one is:

The New Masters of Evil:

• Hydra Supreme / Steven Rogers (Earth-61311)

• Iron Man 2020 / Arno Stark (Earth-616)

• Maestro / Bruce Banner (Earth-9200)

• The God of Lies / Donald Blake (Earth-616)

• Ultron Pym / Ultron (Earth-616)

• Vespine / Maria Trovaya (Earth-616)

I was inspired by Avengers Under Siege. With the Masters of Evil just destroying Avengers & Avengers mansion. Leaving the team physically and mentally scarred. Thinking of who could nowadays fill that role. And I wanted to play into the OG Avengers lineup + Cap (who is sometimes given honorable founding status). Each one of these is a threat of their own... But together could pose a threat the Avengers might not easily defeat. That can physically and strategically take the team on.

Maria Trovaya's death has been retconned thanks to Nadia's origin. Instead of being killed, she was kidnapped and so couldn't have been the body Hank was informed was found dead. Her kidnapping and death doesn't allow for Nadia to be born. So as far as we know, Alive until proven otherwise. So With This:: Maria like the Winter Soldier was kidnapped & experimented on. Being infused with Russia's take on the Pym Particles. Maria is sent to the Microverse. Much like MCU's Janet, she did not return... until recently. Maria rejoins the Red Room and has hidden agendas atop of hidden agendas.
