	"just wann know how the snake girl eats and dresses herself with snake heads instead of hands." One of these seems pretty obvious! (Reply to this) (Thread)

These guys are so weird. I never quite understood them as villains, it's like someone said "Hey, what sort of evil team should the FF fight? Well, they're champions of science, why not make these guys magic? And our heroes have an alliterative numerical team name, we should do that. How about Frightful Four? No? Taken? Five's boring. Ok, what about Sinister Six? ALSO taken!? Huh. Alright, what's goes with Seven..."

	I have heard that they appeared in that God awful FF cartoon a few years back. Anyone ? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I love how EVERY SINGLE ONE of these characters has a little... pause right before they say their name. It's like there's supposed to be a bit of ominous music right there, or a cymbal crash. 'Your limitless strength is useless against... (dan-DAHHH!) ...VAKUME!' Also, I kinda like Gazelle's look. She's something like a caucasian-skinned Nightcrawler without the tail.

And though this is Old Marvel where time stops in a fight just so those involved can deliver several pages of dialogue, I gotta say: if I was any of the FF, I'd be pounding them when they were only a couple of words into their introductions.

But this was in one of the more forgettable periods of the FF, where any given page of the book looked like this.

And their one weakness was "Artificial means?" So...they didn't do their research and didn't find out that's kind of what Reed does when he's not stretching? He invents sixteen of those before lunch.

	The impression I got was that they actually delivered these speeches just AFTER they'd released their powers. (Except in the case of Vakume, of course, who's just standing there.) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You left out THORNN, the extra "N" adds more evil !!!! Bwah-ha-ha... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, that's pretty stupid, all right. I mean, how would you pronounce it? 'Thorn'? 'Thorn-nnn?' 'Thor-n'nn?' (Reply to this) (Parent)

	But in keeping with the long-standing tradition of nonsensical magical prohibitions like "doesn't work against wood" or "never feed him after midnight!" (Reply to this) (Parent)
