3. The Hood
The Hood is an undeniable badass, a criminal kingpin who, during Norman Osborn’s reign, was the most powerful crime leader on Earth, and a member of the Cabal, Osborn’s secret group of masterminds that controlled the world, also consisting of Osborn himself, Loki, Doctor Doom, Emma Frost, Namor and Taskmaster.
The Hood, real name Parker Robbins, first appeared in his own self titled mini-series in 2002, published by Marvel’s adults-only MAX imprint. After briefly abandoning his villainous ways, he returned to life of crime, and became such a powerful crime lord that he overcame even the Kingpin.
Using a cloak that grants him invisibility, boots that enable him to fly, and a bond with the powerful demon Dormannu, the Hood is a force to be reckoned with. He even has the ability to resurrect the dead, and he famously resurrected the Punisher’s family, driving Frank Castle into a rage like no other.
He has yet to appear in any media outside comic books, but come on Joss Whedon, seeing as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be about agents trying to stop criminals, why not have Marvel’s signature crime lord (sorry Kingpin) as the one pulling the strings?
