Best Supervillain Poems
The cruelest of all villains lives on Mount Crumpit
for when it comes to Christmas, he says, "Dump it!"
He keeps trying to "Pooh pooh" that sacred holiday,
but so far everyone's efforts have kept him at bay.
Oh, he's a real mean one, that monster, Mr. Grinch
A devilish fiend that I would love to catch and lynch
I'd gladly dump his body in a cactus patch or ditch
if someone would tell me where he is. It's ok to snitch.
To celebrate Christmas, he has never been willin'
to let children enjoy the day. He needs to be chillin'
and stop trying to ruin the holiday when Santa comes,
and if he's a good grinch, he might get a set of drums.
He's big and he's a beast, bad-tempered to say the least
so, he's never been invited to join in a Christmas feast.
Oh, he's a vile one, that Mr. Grinch with flesh of green,
a supervillain without a heart, meanest of the mean!
He's such a grouch, wanting to commit the dirty deed
of stealing Christmas and that makes him a bad seed.
What an evil wretch to kidnap Santa and children's toys.
That's one of his sinister schemes and dastardly ploys.
If I can catch him sleeping before December rolls around,
I'll find a way to bring that thieving horrible creature down.
Oh, he's a mean one with a twisted soul, that Mr. Grinch.
Will you help me rid the world of him if I get into a pinch?

More than a superhero, certainly surpassing the best conquering knight
JESUS CHRIST*, my SAVIOR LORD is beyond utmost to highlight
Without HIM, I am nothing; yet He enhances me as struggling neophyte
HE completes my functionality's fullest by His eternal foresight!
Joy-Source midst salvation’s delight
Eternal life’s Lamp, always bright
Strength for great faith’s heavenly height
Upholder during divine fight
Soul’s fortress-Guard … all day and night.
Carrier of sins’ grievous blight
Hope-Giver along prayer-plight
Resurrection against death’s might
Imparter of pure wisdom’s light
Sanctifier with pardon-white
Teacher-Mentor of truth and right.
Sustainer of spiritual sight
Assurance-Granter against fright
Vanquishes Devil’s fatal bite
Instructs toward service aright
Omnipotent; acts great to cite
Redeemer: Scriptures did indite.
Leader, exemplary upright
Omniscient, showing guilt’s termite
Restorer; His heart does invite
Driver toward holiness’ flight!
The more that I draw nigh to HIM sweetly, sans guilt spite
I'm sufficed and satisfied triumphantly by His love, never finite
With gratefulness' praise, I worship Him gloriously with heart contrite
Serving Him while ministering to others earnestly... as I work and write.
*John 14:6 Jesus saith…, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
A Dramatic Monologue Incorporating the forms Acrostic, Name and Monorhyme.

'Why so serious?'
He would say as he started to walk my way.
He wears a purple over coat,
His face as white as a ghost.
Always has a smile beaming from ear to ear
Laughing like a maniac till his eyes are full of tears
Who is this mad man with hair of green
he is the creepiest thing I've ever seen
He always seems to have a trick up his sleeve
Along with many different weapons' like you wouldn't believe
Spreading uncontrollable chaos trying to put on a show
Committing crimes where ever he goes
How did this criminal mastermind come to be?
What drove him mad to reach the point of insanity?
Some say he fell into a tank of chemicals that drove him insane
Others say it was the loss of his wife and unborn child
Whatever it was it caused him a lot of pain
It seems like he was already unsteady
Close to that breaking point, slightly losing his mind already
Maybe he was never really okay
All it took was a little push over the edge
And we got the Joker we have today

Placement: 3rd
Born to be a woman apart,
the daughter of an Amazon Paradise Island Queen
they called her the warrior princess Diana
a baby formed from clay for the childless Queen
and given magical powers and super strength
or so the legend says . . .
Diana is treated like an outsider and outcast
but for the human world she becomes the super heroine
known as Wonder Woman
far from her Amazon Island of women only
the Gods of Olympus are always playing dark games
like the prodigal sun Apollo seeking
Zeus's throne in a vengeful battle
any other evil, and nasty things
and humans are caught in the line of fire
Wonder Woman must help so she leaves the Amazon
and while helping she discovers a secret
the truth of her origin . . .
not made of clay but the biological
daughter of Zeus and the Amazon Queen
of course the story changes
over the years about her beginnings
but her code is to help any in need always
using her super human powers and magical gifts
like her Lasso of Truth, a tiara projectile
she wears a pair of indestructible bracelets
and many more gifts on her array of enemies in battle
she has super force, strength and power
but also compassion and seeks peace
DC comics decided to make her beautiful . . .
so she takes on many roles in "mans" world
from nurse, to curator of a museum
and many, many more, blending in
so the stories say . . .

Fifth Place
In the depths of hellfire, his spirit ablaze,
Johnny Blaze rides out, the Ghost Rider's craze.
His penance, to serve vengeance on the guilty,
Flaming skull, chain whip, his methods filthy.
His roar echoes, through the night,
Burning sinners, till they're out of sight.
A force of reckoning, he leaves no trace,
The Ghost Rider's fury, you can't replace.
Beware his wrath, if you're a wrongdoer,
For he'll leave you, with your soul in the sewer.
A Marvel hero, with a demonic twist,
Ghost Rider's tale, can never be missed.

Wonder Woman, a beauty to behold
Her adventures something to be extolled
In a world where mostly men are superheroes
Like Jack Reacher and the Robert De Niros
Comes a woman who stands straight and tall
For right and justice and never takes a fall
So, I want to give her a place among the best
Since she’s head and shoulders above the rest.

Thanos wanted to bring
chaos to the world
He thought if he could
wipe out half of everything
it would bring balance
Thor tried to make sure
that Thanos didn’t get
the stone within the
tesseract but Loki
gave it right into his
hands and he snapped
his neck in the process
The Avengers tried every
way possible to keep
Thanos from getting the
Infinity stones
Thanos was always a step
ahead of the game
So many of the Avengers
lost to Thanos when
he snapped his fingers
with the Infinity gauntlet on
For 5 years they were
snapped out of existence
Thanos had gotten what
he wanted but was it
all it was cracked up to be
Thanos hid out on a planet
for 5 years after the snap
Eventually Thor, Ironman, Black Widow
and a few others caught up
With him
The Infinity gauntlet was permanently
fused to his hand and didn’t work
anymore. So Thor decided to cut
Thanos arm to get the gauntlet
so Tony Stark could find a way
to restore it
Then Thor beheaded Thanos.
That was not his end though.
That was not Thanos
end game yet
It happens most nights
When evil is near
Something takes over
And I’m not here
Everything goes dark
And I lose my human desire
I turn to bone
I’m engulfed in fire
With my steel chain
And my Penance stare
The demons I’m hunting
Had better beware
The Devil cursed me
With a blood sealed stain
To vanquish the demons
And cause me pain
I’m the peacemaker
The evil decider
I walk this Earth
As the Ghost Rider
If you cross my path
And have done wrong
I will send you to Hell
Where you belong

And yet Affleck’s Bruce Wayne is an arrogant bully whose disturbing sexual comments towards Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman mark him out as a man with a problematic moral compass. And did you swallow the bit where his realisation of a human connection with Superman (their mothers both share the Christian name Martha) saw Batman instantly switch from readying himself to kill Kal-El to heading off to save his opponent’s mum from certain death? And can we forgive him for nearly offing the greatest superhero in comics in time for a double whammy of Snyder-directed Justice League movies in 2017 and 2018?
Jeremy Irons: ‘I have the natural tendency of a benign dictator’
Jesse Eisenberg’s wacky weirdo Lex Luthor
Jesse Eisenberg’s Luthor is a bizarrely unhinged creature, fascinating to watch and with some splendid, operatic lines of dialogue. But what is the motivation for his hatred of Superman and apparent obsession with other superhumans? I’ve read suggestions that Luthor’s determination to kill off the man of steel stems from a sense of youthful victimhood at the hands of his overbearing father. But even that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
Was Eisenberg hoping to achieve the kind of radical reinvention of a classic DC supervillain that saw Heath Ledger win a posthumous Oscar for his turn as the Joker? If so, he had Batman v Superman’s screenwriters as willing accomplices to the crime.
It now seems a big ask for Eisenluthor to become the DC Comics universe’s big, bad-guy puppet master. Yet the movie’s final scenes suggest that was the fast-crumbling plan.
'There’s a lot to be worried about': a comics geek's verdict on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Ben Affleck is great and Wonder Woman nearly steals the show, but there’s plenty in Zack Snyder’s mash-up to make superfans fret. Including, film-maker’s Kryptonite!: very bad writing

During WW II from a frozen aircraft in the Arctic sea
The Nazi General, Schmidt, named as Red Skull sneaky
Stole Tessaract, the eerie relic of godly power untold
He wanted to channel to have the world under his fold.
He was one of the main Marvel universe antagonists
Ensured that Super Soldier Serum in him would exist
For his involvement with Hitler’s covert terrorist regime
Magneto buried him alive, but Crossbones rescued him.
To be a soldier, Steve Rogers, a commoner, aspired often
After a few discouraging initial failures he could get chosen
For the super soldier unique experiment in the US military
Serum injection made him Captain America extraordinary.
Rogers performed astonishing acts of exemplary gallantry
Like when all the prisoners of war he could alone free
Stealthily infiltrating into the fortified Nazi stronghold
Notorious Red Skull constructed in the Hydra base old.
Lest Schmidt used mass destruction weapons with delight
Superhero Rogers attacked him in his aircraft in flight
Fearing disgraceful defeat, and not capable to even retract
Supervillain Red Skull used mysteriously powerful Tesseract.
The mystic force of the contraption opened a wormhole
Sucked into it the Nazi General’s wounded body whole
The aircraft disappeared in the Arctic sea without trace
Rogers remained unlocated, Red Skull vanished in space.

I’m the pair of fists belonging to Danny Rand’s identity
Along the ranks of Marvel’s super hero-integrity…
“Iron Fist” is my label against cowardice-instability
Powered to advance justice verity
Making my owner an incredible fighter, so mighty
Being a master of K'un-Lun's martial arts with brave superiority.
Having providing my handler a living weapon of excellent utility
I won over the dragon, Shou-Lao for victorious majesty…
Plunging into the fiery substance toward firm capability
I’m harnessed to channel chi energy’s responsibility
Toward amplified force, sans breakability
Willing to fight terrors of cruelty.
Here am I, helping my possessor for heroic functionality
Immune to pain and injury along hurt’s sensitivity
Always ready to rescue for the sake of good humanity
By healing others with my glowing powerful formidability…
Yet, in reality, I admit my non-existence in the eyes of GOD Almighty*.
Who deserves thanks, praises, glory and exaltation for HIS Sovereignty.
*1Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Hallowed win is never impossible
When wrought by God’s might that does enable
He makes all evil spirits to tremble
Vanquishing ill feelings so terrible!
Midst frightening night’s schemes of lurking trick
Truth’s light brightly radiates with divine click
Devoid of deceit’s twist and scam’s fake flick
Smashing demonic spells that make souls sick.
The Lord’s triumph* is great treat from heaven
His love covers sins, truly forgiven
Thru full trust in the Saviour, it’s surely given
Conquering hell’s damnation; faith-driven!
Such is what I learned in my mortal existence
Though called the "Ancient One"* in my fictional essence
To God, "the Ancient of Days"** I bow down, trembling in His presence
Aware of His omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence.
*The Ancient One possessed the ability to manipulate the forces of magic for a vast number of effects and was able to tap into extra-dimensional energy by invoking entities or objects of power, existing in dimensions tangential to those of the Earth, through the recitation of spells. The Ancient One was capable of astral projection, levitation, interdimensional teleportation, and a large number of other effects. However, in his extreme old age, the Ancient One was unable to perform any major feats of sorcery without placing great physical strain upon himself.
**Daniel 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, [one] like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

Steve Rogers wanted to be a soldier,
and after initial failure got selected
for super soldier experiment in US military,
Vita-ray dosing made him muscular.
During WW II he toured the country
in colorful costumes in fund raising campaigns.
For his patriotic endeavor in national exigency,
he was designated as Captain America.
He proved his worth with amazing bravery,
when he could alone free the war prisoners
from the fortified fortress of the Hydra base
of the Nazi General Schmidt, the Red Skull.
The Captain’s mettle made him a superhero,
but he needed a strong shield
for protection against the enemy attacks,
and he used a triangular one for a long time.
He replaced the over-used old shield,
getting from President Roosevelt a circular one,
made of an alien inflexible metal vibranium,
given by the King of Wakanda.
The disc-shaped shield was indestructible,
it had unique vibration absorption property,
saved the Captain from life-threatening attacks,
helped him to incapacitate the Red Skull.
Lest he used the weapons of mass destruction,
Rogers confronted Schmidt inside his aircraft
that crashed in the icy Arctic sea.
Schmidt vanished in space, Rogers disappeared.
After seventy years of suspended animation,
the Captain woke up in an old style hospital bed,
imbibed the singular trait of unique avenger,
befitting the extraordinary role of a superhero.
