This February 14th we celebrate Valentines Day,a day of Romance and Chocolates. Well,That's not how We are gonna be celebrating that day. Nope,here at Retro Resistance, Feb 14th is Villain-tines Day,a day for Bad Guy Love.

With that Said,Retro Resistance presents the Master List of Greatest Fictional Villains...according to Me,that is. This list will not only contain Cartoon and Anime Villains,but also Video Game and Live-Action Baddies as well.
---------------------

Don Turtelli (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles '87) - Turtelli was a crime boss from the 80's Ninja Turtles show who had a fun way of getting info from his victims - tickling their feet. His most famous victim being April O'Neil. Overall,Turtelli was a fun idea for a Villain.

Tron Bonne (Mega Man Legends) - This Pirate Princess isn't a Villain,per se,but still a very memorable and fun Antagonist. Her family theme song is also fun and memorable.

Dr. Robotnik (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog) - This version of Dr.Eggman is one of the most memorable and entertaining Game to To characterizations ever. This is mostly thanks to his starring role in various Youtube Poop videos. He's biggest mission is to either capture or destroy,his ultimate nemesis,Sonic The Hedgehog,so that he can rule Mobius.

Darth Vader (Star Wars) - The Mega Iconic Villain formerly known as Anikin Skywalker. His theme,the Imperial March,is also Iconic.

The Joker (Batman) - The Joker has always been the antithesis of Batman and it's because of this,he's not only the most memorable member of Batman's Rogues Gallery,but also a Definitive one. You just can't have a proper Batman series without The Joker. There have been many many versions of the character,but the best and most iconic version is the Joker from the 90's Animated Series (voiced by Luke Skywalker himself,Mark Hamil). He was really fun to watch,Hamil's Joker is just Legendary. And how about that iconic laugh of his?

Shao Khan (Mortal Kombat) - "You Will Die,Mortal!" Those are the Immortal Words of The Mighty Emperor of Outworld. For most fans of Mortal Kombat, Shao Khan was their first taste of a Big Bad in the Series. Khan has a very cool and very iconic look,which is a mix between Skeletor and a Samurai. Khan was the most powerful boss in the 2D Mortal Kombat games,decimating everyone in just a few hits. If you were an arcade-goer,this lead to a lot of Quarters being spent...and I do mean A Lot.

Dr.Doom (Marvel) - He was the 1st Real Big Bad of the Marvel Multiverse and is still a big deal today. That metal mask and green hooded cape of his are simply unforgettable. And while there are more powerful Villains in the Marvel Multiverse,Dr.Doom remains the most iconic and memorable.

The Shredder (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) - There have been many versions of The Shredder,and each of them memorable in their own way. But the '87 Animated version of the Turtles' Chief Nemesis is special. See,The Shredder was only the main villain for a short while in the Original Mirage Comic,who soon became an afterthought after he was killed. The '87 version expanded the characters roll in the franchise and eventually made the character popular. He soon became the Turtles' #1 Villain thoughout the franchise. Despite their differences,all Shredders have the same goal: World Domination.

Skeletor (Masters of the Universe) - He-Man and Eternia's #1 Nemesis. Skeletor covets the secrets of Castle Greyskull so that he can rule the Galaxy. Like with Shredder and Joker,there are multiple versions of Skeletor,But none so iconic or memorable as the Filmation version. Yeah,that version of Skeletor was the most fun to watch...especially when he does that iconic evil laugh of his.

Megatron (Transformers) - The Definitive Leader of The Decepticons believes in Peace though Tyranny and will stop at nothing to rule the Universe and rob it of it's Energon. Like with other Baddies on tbis list,there are multiple versions of this guy,but the G1 Version will always be the most iconic and memorable.

Cobra Commander (G.I. Joe) - There are multiple versions of this dude too and they are all Megalomaniacs who lead Cobra,a ruthless organization hellbent on dominating the world. The Real American Hero Cobra Commander is the one everyone best remembers...complete with raspy voice. Cooobraaaaa!!!

Mumm-Ra (Thundercats) - An ancient evil of Third Earth,who calls upon the powers of The Ancient Spirits of Evil to become Mumm-Ra,the Ever-Living. He was the biggest threat to the Thundercats and almost succeeded in destroying them a few times. 80's Mumm-Ra was the best version.

Giovanni (Pokemon) - The leader of Team Rocket,a ruthless mafia-like organization who use Pokemon for their criminal activities. One of the most memorable things (if not the most memorable thing) about Giovanni is when he revealed himself to be the mysterious Veridian City Gym Leader way back in Generation 1. There were many other Evil Teams and Bossess after him,but Giovanni and Team Rocket remain the most memorable and most iconic.

Dr. Eggman (Sonic the Hedgehog) - A man shaped like an egg and has an I.Q. over 300. Eggman's goal is to conquer the world with his Deadly Machines. He would've succeeded too if not for his arch-nemesis,Sonic the Hedgehog. Eggman battles Sonic in a variety of Vehicles and Mechs,some of which were iconic. Dr.Eggman is a classic Video Game Baddie and Tbe Sonic Series wouldn't be the same without him.

Bowser Koopa (Super Mario) - He's big,strong,has a fiery temper,and Loves to kidnap Princessess. He's King Bowser Koopa,the biggest threat to the Mushroom Kingdom and the very first boss most NES players have ever encountered. It's one of the reasons why Bowser is so memorable. Fun fact: Shigeru Miyamoto initially based Bowser on the Ox Demon King from Journey to the West,that's why he has ox-like features. Bowser was given some turtle-like features as well,to make him realated to the Koopa's,who were turtles.

Dr.Wily (Mega Man) - Ex-friend and Rival of Dr. Light. Dr.Wily wants to dominate the the world and force it to recognize him as the Ultimate Robitics Genius. For us Mega Man fans,Dr.Wily is fondly remembered as the OG Mega Man Villain and to this day remains one of the most iconic Baddies in All of Video Games.

Sigma (Mega Man X) - Sigma,aka the greatest Mega Man Villain,was originally a Maverick Hunter turned evil by a Virus. Ever since his 1st defeat at the hands of X,Sigma now lives on as a living digital entity that's part computer virus. There have been,and there will be,many more X-Series villains,but Sigma will Always remain Lord Of The Mavericks!

Ganon/Ganondorf (Legend of Zelda) -
Ganondorf is a Gerudo who is the reincarnation of the Demon Lord Demise,and it's because of this,Ganondorf is the emodiment of evil. He aims to dominate Hyrule and rid it of it's Legendary Hero,Link and it's Princess,Zelda. In many continuities,Ganondorf controls the Triforce of Power.He also has a Demon Boar form simply called,Ganon. There were many Villains in the Zelda Franchise,but Ganondorf will always remain the most iconic.

M.Bison (Street Fighter) - The OG Street Fighter Baddie is Still the best. Energized with Psycho Power,M.Bison is one of the franchises most powerful villains. He is the leader of Shadaloo,an underground terrorist organization. Out of all the Street Fighter villains,M.Bison remains the most memorable.

Sephiroth (Final Fantasy 7) - The King of All Final Fantasy Villains. With his cool look and Awesome Sword (the masamune),Sephiroth instantly became a fan favorite. Sephiroth's goal in the original game was to become one with the planet by striking it with Meteor (look up the FF7 story for yourselves guys,cuz I ain't gonna explain how sephy's plan is supposed to work). Sephiroth remains the face of all Final Fantasy Villains,he's just that iconic.

Queen Beryl (Sailor Moon) - Galaxia's the most powerful,Nehelenia is the sexiest,Pharaoh 90's the biggest,and Death/Doom Phantom is the scariest. But Beryl will alway be the most Iconic and memorable Villain in the Sailor Moon franchise. After all,she was the first major villain we Sailor Moon fans were exposed to. Beryl herself was the ruler of the Dark Kingdom,an ancient evil group who,along with their mistress Metalia,decimated the Silver Milenium. They were later reborn on Earth after their first total defeat by Queen Serenity. On Earth, they seek the Silver Crystal,the only thing that will restore Metalia to form.

Sailor Galaxia (Sailor Moon) - Before this Golden Armored beauty was stopped by Eternal Sailor Moon, she conquered and decimated over half the Galaxy with a Golden Fist. Sailor Galaxia was the final Villainess (so far?) and the Strongest one in the Sailor Moon Franchise. 

Frieza (Dragon Ball Z) - Intergalactic Tyrant Frieza is the most recognizable villain in all of Dragon Ball. We first meet him in the Namek Saga of Z,where he was after the Namekian Dragon Balls to wish for immortality. The tyrant almost succeded,but was thwarted by his lack of understanding the Namekian Language. He later met his first true defeat at the hands of Super Saiyan Goku. Since then,Frieza has made many many more appearances through out the franchise,including having a major roll in Dragon Ball Super. He's a true Anime icon.

Cell (Dragon Ball Z) - The Masterpiece of Dr. Gero. Cell is an Evil Bio-Android with a fetish for destruction and fighting. Thanks to being made up of Cells from Goku, Piccolo, Frieza, King Cold, and Vegeta, Cell exhibits all of their traits and abilities. He can regenerate his body like Piccolo, can get a power boost after injery like Goku and Vegeta, and can move around and breath in deep space like Frieza and King Cold. Cell is the total package  He met his end at the hands of Super Saiyan 2 Gohan.   

Omega Shenron (Dragon Ball GT) - The Coolest Looking Villain in the Dragon Ball Franchise. Omega Shenron came into being when Shadow Dragon, Syn Shenron, fused with the Dragon Balls to become the Demonic Super Shadow Dragon and the most Powerful Bad Guy in the Franchise. It took a Universal Spirit Bomb to finally destroy him. 

Devimon (Digimon) - Devimon was the very first villain the Digidestened crossed paths with. His voice and look make him one of the most memorable anime villains of all time. His Touch of Evil and Black Gears can corrupt any Digimon. Devimon is a great villian and one of the most memorable in the Digimon Franchise.

Myotismon (Digimon) - Myotismon was the second Major threat that the Digidestined has faced. He wanted total domination of both the Real and Digital Worlds,but first he had to find the 8th Digidestined and destroy her. Because he knows that once the 8 Digidestined Children are united,he'd be in serious trouble. Anyway,Myotismon had a very cool look,he was like a masked vampire-lord. Liked his voice too,very menacing. Myotismon will always be remembered fondly by Digimon fans and Anime fans alike.

Dr. Claw (Inspector Gadget) - Dr. Claw,leader of the criminal organization known as M.A.D. This dude is an 80's cartoon icon and it's due to his deep menacing voice and overall presentation (only his arms were shown to the viewer).

Mojo Jojo (The Powerpuff Girls) - There's just something memorable and entertaining about an evil,somewhat-goofy,fast-talking chimp with a super-brain. His laugh is fun too.

Mandark (Dexter's Laboratory) - Mandark is Dexter's greatest rival and evil scientist in-training. He was an entertaining villain. His laugh was the most memorable thing about him.

Maleficent (Disney Animated Canon) - The Mistress of All Evil. There have been various versions of the character,but the OG Maleficent will always be the best and most iconic. No words can describe the awesomeness that is the DAC Maleficent.

Emperor Palpentine (Star Wars) - This Satan-Archtype is the greatest evil the Galaxy Far Far Away has ever seen. Without him manipulating things, The Star Wars would've never happened. Palpentine was the one to turn Anikin Skywalker to the Dark Side to become Darth Vader. He acts like a nice and wise old-man in public, which allows him to deceive the public and manipulate them. Pure Evil.   

Gul Dukat (Star Trek: Deep Space 9) - A Former Cardassian General and Dictator. Dukat may have charismatic charm, but that hides more devious motives. After many failures he went mad, but still sane enough to be a competent and dangerous antagonist. Later, Dukat decided to embrace his role as the villain of the little narrative he cooked up in his own head. Dukat's cruel, sadistic, bigoted, and arrogant  BTW, for those Non-Trek Fans, Gul is a title, not His first name. Gul is Cardassian equivalent to Earth's Captain/Colonel rank.

The Borg (Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager) - They Are Borg! Prepare Tor Assimilation! Resistance Is Futile! These no-hearted Space Cyborgs assimilate innocent people into their Collective after attacking and abducting them. As Borg, the converted loose all sense of Individuality and follow the Collective with Zero Hesitation. Their goal is to rule the Universe by turning all life into mindless drones dedicated to the Collective and it's Evil Queen. Collectivism is truly Evil and The Borg prove it. 

The Green Goblin (Spider-Man) - A hardcore Businessman turned Evil. Norman Osborn went crazy and became one of Spider-Man's Greatest Foes, The Green Goblin. There have been many different versions of The Green Goblin over the years, but for the most part he's remained consistent personality wise - Evil, Psychotic, and Homicidal. The Green Goblin is the Spider-Man equivalent to Batman's Joker.

John Kreese (The Karate Kid) - The Ultimate 80s Evil Martial Arts Master. He is the Sensei of the Cobra Kai Dojo and mentor to Johnny Lawrence and his friends. Kreese formed the Cobra Kai's motto - "Strike Fast, Strike Hard, No Mercy!" A total jerk. He even assaulted Johnny when he lost the tournament in The Karate Kid II. If it wasn't for Mr. Miagi stepping in, Kreese would've killed Johnny.

George Washington Duke (Rocky V) - A sleezy Fight Manager/Promoter who does whatever it takes for fame and fortune. He tried to get Rocky to fight for his title, despite him being forced into retirement due to injuries sustained by The Powerful Ivan Drago. He then manipulated Rocky's Protege, Tommy "The Machine" Gunn, into Ditching Balboa to come under His own wing. The result was heavy friction between Rocky and Gunn. Duke got what was coming to him at the end of the Movie, When Rocky knocked him down with a power punch. 

Rita Repulsa (Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers) - Not the Best Bad Lady in all of fiction, but defiantly an entertaining one. She's also on this list for being the very first Power Ranger Villain in the Whole Damn Franchise.  

Lord Zedd (Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers) - Rita's successor. This evil, yet cool looking, dude is notable for being the Power Ranger Franchise's Very First Original Villain (ie. not from sentai). Zedd got nerfed later on due to Parents complaining on how scary he was for kids. 

Ivan Ooze (Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie) -  Ivan Ooze was a villain created soley for the Move. Even though he wasn't canon, Ivan Ooze was still a good bad guy. He had a cool look, he was competent, and he was entertaining as hell. Ivan Ooze was a truly unforgettable.

Zarkan (Voltron: Defender of the Universe) - The Ruler of Planet Doom. An evil tyrant who aims to take over the Universe. He captures slaves for labor and as opponents/victims for his Robeasts, Mutants with Cybernetic implants.  

Prince Lothor (Voltron: Defender of the Universe) - The Son of Zarkon is even more ruthless than his Father. He's also smarter and a better fighter. If it wasn't for his obsession with Princess Allura, he would be unbeatable.

Hordak (She-Ra: Princess of Power) - Hordak had many incarnations, as well. But the version on this list is the Classic Filmation Version, as this 80s Toon Incarnation is what most people are familiar with. Hordak is the leader of the Evil Hoard. They took over Etheria with an iron fist after dominating the Population with greater technology. The Great Rebellion, led by Princess Adora/She-Ra, are their heroic arch foes. 

Hera (Hercules: The Legendary Journeys) - Hercules' Wicked Step-Mother. She killed Herc's family out of spite for the Hero. Her attitude and lore is based on how she was in Greek Mythology (unlike, Disney's Version). She never appears in person, until the Final Season, where she seemingly turned good. Though out the Series, Hera constantly targets Hercules in her mission of hatred and revenge. But, Herc always comes out on top. 

Ares (Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess) - The God of War and Hercules' Evil Half-Brother. He's Herc's #2 Enemy, behind Hera. He's also Xena's former Mentor, before the Warrior Princess Turned Good. Ares is cool, dark, and sinister,the perfect counterpart to the Heroic Hercules. In Xena: Warrior Princess, he's always trying, and failing, to bring Xena back to the Darkside. He is one of Xena's Greatest Foes

Callisto (Xena: Warrior Princess) - My Favorite Xena Villain!!! Callisto is one of Xena's Greatest Foes and Her Greatest Rival. Callisto is so fun to watch, She's psychotic, athletic, and a great fighter. But, underneath all of that lays a tragic backstory. Back when Xena was Evil, she ransacked a town called Cira. There she killed all of the men, as she raided the town. She also killed Callisto's Parents. Callisto, being one of the few survivors became consumed with vengeance and carried that into adulthood, which turned her Evil. To this day, Callisto is Still The Best Xena Villain, and My personal favorite.

Zarm (Captain Planet) - An Ex-Spirit of Earth, who used his powers for evil. He was banished from Earth, but returned to cause havoc a few times. Zarm is the most dangerous villain the Planeteers have ever fought.

Captain Pollution (Captain Planet) - This guy is fun. Captain Pollution is an evil copy of Captain Planet created from evil versions of the Planeteer's Rings. He's a crazy pollution powered bad dude with surfer speak. His over the top personality make Captain Pollution a hoot. 

Lex Luthor (Superman) - Superman's #1 Enemy. This dude has many many incarnations too. This Legendary Bald Bad Guy has been a Criminal Genius, A Super Villain,and a Corrupt Corporate Executive with Great Publicity. No matter which version of Luthor you prefer, this dude is a Master Villain in Any Universe.

Magneto (X-Men) - Another Character with various incarnations. He is one of the X-Men's Greatest Arch-Foes and sworn Enemy and Rival of Professor Charles Xavier, Mentor of the X-Men. He won't rest until All Humankind is either dead or enslaved by Mutantkind.

The Kingpin (Marvel) - Wilson Fisk is New York City's Criminal Master.He has been the Arch Foe of Spier-Man, Daredevil, And The Punisher. The Kingpin is a Big Dude, all that "fat" is actually muscle. So, not only is he smart, he's strong too. A very dangerous guy.    

Kefka (Final Fantasy VI) - This Psycho is Final Fantasy's answer to Batman's Joker. Kefka is not only psychotic, but an evil genius. He rose though the ranks of The Gesthal Empire, manipulating Emperor Gesthal. He enslaved Terra, betrayed Gesthal, and, later, destroyed the World and took it over. Damn.   

Ultimacia (Final Fantasy VII) - The Sorceress who wants to Dominate a Time Compressed World. Fun fact about her - Our Heroes Never get to meet her until The Final Battle With Her. Yeah, though out the game she uses proxies, instead of appearing in person. Still, she Is very strong and a tough final boss. She has a Guardian Force, a Summon Monster, called Griever. 

Dr. Weil (Mega Man Zero) - Dr. Weil is basically Dr. Wily, but Worse. Dr. Weil was responsible in turning Zero's body into the Genocidal Killing Robot, Omega. Because of this Zero's consciousness was transferred into a copy body. Dr. Weil was made into a Cyborg as punishment for starting the Elf Wars (why? don't ask me, it's Capcom's convoluted story, not mine). Weil manipulated things from behind the scenes and eventually took over the World. His reign ended, thanks to Zero.   

Count Dracula (Castlevania) - A Classic Vampire Villain, though I'm only gonna be talking about the Dracula from the Castlevania Series. This version of Dracula is a terror who keeps on coming back from the dead, no matter how many times the Belmonts kill him. Dracula's turned to evil came as a result of him losing of his wife to a riotous mob. He sold his soul to Satan for supernatural powers, which includes the ability to control armies of Monsters and The Undead. 

Captain Syrup (Wario Land) - Hot Pirate Queen who is the Arch-Rival and Nemesis to Wario. She's even more greedy than Wario and more devious. She commands the Brown Sugar Pirates, who aim to be the richest, most powerful, gang in the Mushroom World (the world of super mario bros, where the wario land games take place.). She may or may not be the "Warui" Counterpart of Pauline.

King K. Rool (The Donkey Kong Country Trilogy, Donkey Kong 64, and Donkey Kong Bananza) - Ruler of the Kremlings and The Kong Family's Greatest Enemy. King K. Rool and his Kremlings made their debut in Donkey Kong Country 1 by terrorizing Kong Island and stealing Donkey Kong's sacred Banana Hoard. And since then, King K Rool has become one of Nintendo's most popular villains.  

King Koopa (The Super Mario Bros Super Show, Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario World) - This version of Bower is almost as iconic as his Prime Counterpart. King Koopa is a fusion of Bowser and Wart, which is appropriate as The Super Mario Bros. Super Show takes inspiration from the 1st 2 Super Mario Games. King Koopa is constantly scheming for money and power, but is constantly foiled by The Super Mario Bros, Toad, and Princess Toadstool. Personality-wise, he's the most over-the-top version of Bowser....and I love it.King Koopa is such a fun bad guy.     

Ganon (Legend of Zelda, the '89 Animated Series) - This Version of Ganon may look and act different from his Nintendoverse Counterpart, but that doesn't mean that he's bad..far from it. This Ganon is entertaining and dangerous in his own right. He has ownership of the Triforce of Power, which the Heroes,Link and Zelda, need to defeat him and restore peace to Hyrule.  

Mother Brain (Captain N: The Game Master) - She's over-the-top, egotistical, narcissistic, and just plain evil....Saturday Morning Cartoon Evil, but still evil. Her looks and Personality are very different from the Metroid Games, where she was a demonic brain who controlled the various creatures of the Galaxy...especially the Metroids. Here, she's just a fun to watch Over-the-Top, Saturday Morning Cartoon Villian.

Dr. Julian Robotnik (Sonic The Hedgehog aka Sonic SatAM) - A more serious and dark take on Dr. Eggman. This version of Robotnik has managed to take over parts of the Planet Mobius. He has captured Mobotropolus and turned it into Robotropolus, his dark mechanical haven. And he plans on doing the same to the rest of the Planet. He captures innocent Mobians and robotisizes  them. He even banished the King to a another dimention. The Freedom Fighters,led by Sonic the Hedgehog, always manage to stop his expansion plans. 

Yosemite Sam (Looney Tunes) - The bad tempered, gun slingin' enemy of Bugs Bunny, A classic Looney Tunes Antagonist. 'Nuff Said.

Grimlord (V.R. Troopers) - Karl Ziktor is a corrupt businessman who becomes the Evil Interdimentional Warlord, Grimlord. The V.R. Troopers are always there to stop his plans to take over their World.

Firelord Ozai (Avatar: The Last Airbender) - The Leader of the Fire Nation with ambitions to conquer the World and force his will upon the People. He came close to total domination, very very close. But, thanks to Avatar Aang, his goal was cut short.

Darkseid (DC) - Ruler of Apokolyps and One of the deadlest foes of Superman and the Juatice League. 

Red Skull (Marvel) - A Nazi Survivor and #1 foe of Captaon America. He's also been a threat to the Avengers, as well. Red Skull won't rest until the World is Nazi Dominated.

Thanos (Marvel) - Thanos is best known as The Mad Titan who terrorised the Universe with the Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity Gems. He's one of the Avengers greatest foes. 

Dr. Drakken (Kim Possible) - aka Drew Theodore P. Lipsky. This impatient, persistent, and slightly immature scientist is Kim Possible's #1 Foe. He's plans for World Domination always fail or backfire, thanks to either Kim Possible or by his own arrogance. He has a slightly more competent sidekick in Shego. Drakken is yet another bad guy who I find entertaining.

Shego (Kim Possible) - Kim Possible's greatest Rival. She may be Dr. Drakken's Sidekick, but she's both smarter and stronger...Plus, she's got Super Powers and a whole lot of attitude. I Love Shego.

Chernabog (Disney Animated Canon) - The Devil of Disney. First seen in the Fantasia Short, "Night on Bald Moubtain", Chernabog has since been featured in many different Disney media.

Pete (Mickey Mouse and Friends) - Mickey Mouse's "frenemy" and Disney's first Bad Guy. Pete has been in many things Disney, as both an Antagonist and a Villain.  

Dr. Facilier (Disney Aninated Canon) - One of my all time favorite Disney Villains. He's a charasmatic Voodoo Master, also known as "The Shadow Man". He's also got one of the best Villain Songs in All of Disney Aninated Canon.

Hades (Disney Animated Canon) - Charasmatic, manipulative, dark, yet humorous. This is Disney's Hades. His goal is to take over Olympus with the Titans and overthrow his Brother Zeus. He's stopped everytime by Hercules. He has 2 minions, incompetent imps, Pain and Panic. Despite being very inaccurate to the Myths, I really enjoy watching this version of Hades.

Judge Claude Frollo (Disney Animated Canon) - A fanatic who wants to keep Paris Gypsy free. He is the adopted father of Quasimodo, and an oppressive one. He has one of the most Epic Disney Villain Songs ever. 

Syndrome (The Incredibles) - A charasmatic and sinister super Genius. He was once a Big Fan of Mr. Incredible, before turning into his Nemesis, thanks to being rejected by his hero. So he got rich designing gadgets and became a Super Villain. He's also managed to kill a few Superheroes before he fought Mr. Incredible.

Lotso Huggin' Bear (Toy Story 3) - Turned evil by an accidental abandonment by  his owner. Lotso runs Sunny Side daycare like a corrupt Prison Warden. Sure he may come off as a nice guy, but he's anything but.

Dr. Heinz Doofenshmertz (Phineas and Ferb) - Doofensmirtz is a bad scientist in every sence of the word, he's bumbling and a decent guy. Though, he's persistent and that's part of why he's a fan favorite. His goal is to either Totally humiliate his Brother, Mayor Roger Doofensmirtz, or to Take over the Tri-State Area. It all depends on his mood. He is thwarted by his own buffoonery or by his Nemesis/Frenemy, Perry the Platypus aka Agent P.

Negaduck (Darkwing Duck) - Negaduck is Darkwing Duck's evil Double from a Mirror Universe. He's brutal, cruel, psychotic, and has a bad temper. He's also a capable advasery for Darkwing Duck.

David Xanatos (Gargoyles) - David Xanatos is a billionaire and CEO of Xanatos Enterprises. He broke the spell that imprisoned the gargoyles by having the castle placed on his building and frequently attempted to manipulate or control them. He is amoral, manipulative, and brilliant. He rarely takes setbacks personally, and regards seeking revenge as foolish. 

Demona (Gargoyles) - Demona is the main antagonist of the series, driven by a hatred of humanity. She is Goliath's ex-mate and Angela's biological mother; who is no longer frozen in stone by daylight like the others, thanks to Puck's pre-Gathering intervention. She hates Humanity and is an enemy of Goliath's Clan. As for Demoner herself, she was a fun Villainess. Cool, complex and badass.  

Gargamel (The Smurfs) - Gargamel is an Evil, yet unlucky and impoverished Wizard who wants to either kill the Smurfs, Eat Them, or Turn them into Gold. It all depends on the plot of the Episode. He's another Saturday Morning Cartoon Villaon with a Legendary Status

Dick Dastardly (Hannah-Batbera) - One of American Animations Most Legendary Villains. Along with his sidekick, Muttley, Dastardly finds ways to cause trouble in the World of Hannah-Barbera...and fails in a funny way every time. Dastardly and Muttley, an entertaining Duo. 

Mr. C. Montgomery Burns (The Simpsons) - An on again/off again Villian, depending on the Episode. Even when he's Not in "Villain Mode", Burns is still a jerk and a meiser. When Mr. Burns is at his worst, he's at his best.

Sideshow Bob (The Simpsons) - The articulate Sideshow Bob is an Evil Genius with an obsession with Killing Bart Simpson for always foiling him. SIdeshow Bob was once Keusty the Clown's sidekick, before he got sick of it and framed Krusty for armed robbery. Sideshow Bob is my favorite Simpson Villain.

Magica De Spell (Ducktales) - An Evil Witch who wants great power, but to get it she needs Scrooge McDuck's #1 Dime. So, no matter how much she schemes, she's always foiled by Scrooge McDuck and his Family.

A Personal Nostalgia On The Internet

Today I'm gonna post something totally random and something that I've always wanted to do. A post dedicated to Personal Internet Nostalgia..namely My Own. 

My First experience with the Net was with AOL in 1997 when my family got our first computer for XMas of that year. And starting in 2001,I was able to get my own personal PC. Now then,let's take a trip back into time and feel the Nostalgia Vibes.

Our first stop will be to a site that's MEGA Awesome. The Oldest Surviving Mega Man site,The Mega Man Home Page. http://www.mmhp.net

I used to love visiting here in my younger days. Don't forget to check the Links section for some more cool Mega Man sites,both new And old. Another Mega Man site that I loved way back in the day was Rockman's World,my very first glimpse into the Japanese side of the Franchise. So be a Cool Frood and have a look: https://maelgrim.tripod.com/Rockman.html

Moving ahead. Remember Geocities? It was one of the most popular hosting networks on the Net back in the late-90's and Early 2000's. The network is gone now,but thankfully,most of their sites have been archived. http://www.oocities.org/#gsc.tab=0

Sweet,huh? all you have to do is type in the kind of site you wanna see in the search bar and you're there. I used to love browsing the various Geocities pages back in the day. Anglefire, Dragonfire, and Tripod/Lycos were also cool networks. Wonder what happened to them? I'll check things out later. 

In the meantime,let's continue this trip,shall we. 

Next up is something from my teen years. It may not have much relevance to you,but it has some sentimental value to me. Back in the day,where I'm from,there was a Public Access channel called CTV,the shows were hit and miss,but it had a cool thing called CTV-i,an interactive information service. The service was discontinued in 2001,due to the growing popularity of the Internet. 

CTV-i was Staten Island's Pre-Internet go to place for fun and information. I'll talk more about This information service some time,but for now,enjoy the old CTV site (what's left of it anyway) https://web.archive.org/web/19980415063853/http://www.sictv.org/special.html

Yeah,it's not much,but... Anyway,let's move on to 3 Power Ranger based sites,I used to frequent back in the early-mid 2000's. http://rangercentral.com/  https://www.grnrngr.com/ https://www.rovang.org/

Granted these sites had been though some major changes since then,but I still highly recommend them to All Power Rangers fan. The next leg of our tour brings us to a sjte that holds lots of nostalgic value to me. One of the very first Sailor Moon sites I've ever visited. It's Hitoshi Doi's Sailor Moon Encyclopedia. http://www.usagi.org/doi/smoon/

So many memories. While we're still on tbe subject of Sailor Moon. Here's a site that I discovered in the Mid-2000's. it's grown a great deal since then,but it remains a fun site for All Sailor Moon fans. Plus,it's run by a seriously cool dude. http://www.sailorenergy.net/TheRealm.html

As you can tell,besides being an awesome guy,J.A. is also an awesome artist. Now the final Sailor Moon Site is a divisive one,but I have some fun memories on it. It's S.O.S. (unrelated to Kofi Kingston's old WWE theme). http://www.saveoursailors.org

Now,for some Sonic Love. Y'know, the Hedgehog's Still going strong after 30+ years,so it'd be appropriate to revisit this site. http://sost.emulationzone.org/

Back in the day I was huge on Emulation,so I frequented this site often. http://www.emulationzone.org/

Another emulation site that I visited often was Zopher's Domain. https://www.zophar.net/

They also had/have Video Game music,ripped from the games themselves. Speaking of Video Game Music. Here's a blast from our past. https://www.vgmusic.com/

Midi music can be such a nostalgic experience. But hold on to your hats,we ain't done yet. Super Mario Franchise is one of my all-time faves and I've always loved this site sites https://themushroomkingdom.net/ 

How about some general Nintendo sites. http://www.world-of-nintendo.com/ http://atarihq.com/tsr/ http://www.videogamesprites.net/ 

Now let's visit some Captain N fansites of the past. First we have Mark Moore's (in)famous site,with reviews of Every episode https://ldloveszh.tripod.com/reviews.html and The Captain N Homepage http://captainn.net/main.html

We are now in the final leg of our Time Trip. We'll start with 2 classic Final Fantasy sites The FF7 Citadel and FF Origins. http://www.ff7citadel.com/ http://www.fforigins.com/

Here's a general RPG site I visited too. This place has lots of helpful walkthroughs. http://alexandria.rpgclassics.com/ 

Another game site I used to love back in the day was GameFAQs. Anyway,we're now gonna take a trip to a memorable fighting game/beat em-up fansite that originated in the mid-2000's. http://scrollboss.illmosis.net/mainmenu.php

This is the very site that got me into M.U.G.E.N. Anywhoo,for our final destination is not something from my past,but can take me to it. In fact,it can take anyone back. It's the Internet Wayback Machine. http://web.archive.org/

All you have to do is type in the Web Address and you're there. You can even see what an existing site looked like decades ago. Speaking Searching and Web Addresses,AOL and Yahoo had pretty great search engines. Of course this was before they were made obsolete by Google many years later.

Next up on out Nostalgia Tour is another very cool site. Ever wanted to travel back to the 90's and Early 2000's and experience the Internet of Those Era's? Well, Now You Can!!!

Introducing The Old Net! A place that can take you to the Past,like the Internet Way-Back Machine. Except The Old Net has some extra stuff such as a Guest Book,Links,a Chat Room,and More. 

So check out The Old Net and have a Blast from the Past https://theoldnet.com/

Like with the Wayback Machine, this isn't something from my past, but it Does personify Internet Nostalgia for the Web Surfers of the 90s and Early 2000s (like me).

Anyway, Before we return to the present,there's one more Nostalgia trip I wanna share with you. It's The Realm of everyones favorite Mega Man 3-based team,The Mechanical Maniacs http://themechanicalmaniacs.com/

Well that was a fun trip back into my personal internet past,huh? Hope everyone enjoyed it.  Until next time,Punch Nazis, Kick Commies, Resist Modern Attitudes, and Stay Gold!

Master List - Every Nintendo 64 Game I've Played.

Get 'N' Or Get Out!!!!!

As a Stop gap until my next Big Post, I'm gonna list of N64 Games That I've Played. This List will be the same as the previous ones in this series,except with Nintendo 64 Games. Also,like with the Playstation,since I've never played the N64 on Emulation,that part of the list will be omitted.  

Ok. Now let's gen 'N' to it!  

Nintendo 64 (N64) - My Final Retro System. I received my N64 for X-Mas......of 2001! Yup,got the system at the very end of it's life cycle. The N64 I own is used. This wouldn't be the 1st time I received a used console,my Playstation 2 was also used. Most of my N64 Library consists of games I got for X-Mas of 2001,the year I got the system itself. Also,due to getting this system at the end of it's life,my N64 Library is kinda small.

Super Mario 64 - Got this game,among many other games on X-Mas of 2001. As everyone knows,Super Mario 64 was The "Killer App" of the N64 and Nintendo's first foray into true 3D Gaming. Super Mario 64 is a great game,hard,but very fun.

Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time - The 2nd Game I got on X-Mas of 2001. My first experience with a 3D Zelda title. Still haven't beaten this game,due to it's high difficulty (and my ineptness with 3D platforming). Still,Ocarina of Time is a great game,but nowhere near as great as A Link to the Past.  

Mario Kart 64 - The 3rd N64 Game of Christmas 2001. I played the Original Mario Kart and had fun,so when I got this game,I knew I'd have fun playing it as well. And I was right. In fact,I can confidently say that Mario Kart 64 is Superior to Super Mario Kart in all aspects. 

Ready 2 Rumble Boxing - Round 2 - X-Mas 2001 N64 Game #4. I wanted the original,but got the sequel instead. Regardless,I had fun playing this one.   

Pokemon Stadium 2 - The 5th N64 game I got on X-Mas of 2001. I was a big fan of Pokemon back then and I wanted to experience Pokemon Battles in 3D. I still dig this game. Fun fact,if you have the Transfer Pack,you can play Pokemon Red,Blue,Yellow,Gold,and Silver on your TV though this game. Not only that,but you could also transfer your Pokemon into this game. Cool,huh? 

Pokemon Snap - Like with the others,I got this game on X-Mas of 2001. As I stated moments ago,I was a big Pokemon fan and wanted to try this game out. I had fun and it's kinda challenging to get perfect shots of the various Pokemon.

Donkey Kong 64 - Yet another 2001 X-Mas gift. I loved Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Country 2 on the SNES,so I needed to check this game out. While I did enjoy playing DK64,I still prefer the DKC Trilogy. One thing to note is that this game came with the N64 Expansion Pack,which was needed to beat the game. This Pack added more power to the N64.

Bomberman Hero - Another 2001 X-Mas gift. I originally wanted Bomberman 64,but got this instead. I had fun playing this and enjoyed the music too.  

Super Smash Bros. - The next-to-last Game I would get for X-Mas of 2001. This is first game of a Legendary Franchise. I love the Super Smash Bros series a lot and still play the games to this day. The 1st game in the series isn't perfect and quite limited compared to it's sequels. It's still fun,though,and will have you coming back for more.  

Mega Man 64 The Final game I would get for X-Mas of 2001. This is a port of Mega Man Legends for the PS1. It's just as good as it's PS1 original,despite it's limitations.   

Pokemon Stadium - Bought this at Gamestop in early 2002. I had the 2nd game in the series,so I wanted to get this. It's just as fun as it's sequel And is also compatible with the N64 Transfer Pack. 

Bomberman 64 - Another game I'd pick up at Gamestop in 2002. I wanted this game from the get-go,but ended up getting Bomberman Hero instead. Well,in the spring of 2002,I finally got my hands on it. Hard as all hell,but still enjoyable and has a great soundtrack to boot.

WCW vs nWo - World Tour - My final Gamestop buy of 2002. This game is basically the N64's answer to the PS1's WCW vs. The World. But, that's why I like it.  It was kinda dumb that Randy "Macho Man" Savage and Diamond Dallas Page needed to be unlocked to be playable.  

Mario Party, Mario Party 2, and Mario Party 3 - The N64 Mario Party Trilogy were the Final 3 games I would get for my N64. Bought these at Gamestop in 2003. Fun games overall.

Honorable Mention - Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - I played this via the Zelda Collection on Gamecube. I got lost really easily and I highly recommend you guys Never play this game without a Guide.

And that concludes the journey. Hope you enjoyed this and look forward to future installments of Gaming in the 80's and 90's".

Until next time,Punch Nazis, Kick Commies, Resist Modern Attitudes, and Stay Gold!

A Wrestle Fest Presentation - What If Bret Hart Stayed With the WWF in 1997?

Bret "The Hitman" Hart, a man who exemplified excellence. One of the greatest Wrestlers to ever step goot in the Squared Circle. His super technical style and cool attitude made him a hit with the fans. He's a multi-time champion and has main-evented WrestleMania 3x., was the Leader of WWF's the New Generation, Was crowned King of the Ring Twice, and ihad some of the best feuds in Wrestling.

Sadly, due to early injuries, Bret was forced to retire in 2002.    

Now, as we all know, Bret Hart jumped ship to WCW in November of 1997, due to a failed contract re-negotiations with the WWF. 

But..what if Hart and McMahon came to an agreement. What if The Hitman Didn't jump ship to the competition. What would Bret Hart's career be like had he stayed with the WWF? Well... let's find out. This is MY Personal take on the What-If Scenario of Bret Hart in the World Wrestling Federation past 1997. 

Disclaimer/Note: The Majority of Angles and Feuds in WWF that happened in Our Reality, still happen in this Alternate One.,except now, Bret Hart, The British Bulldog, and later, Owen Hart. are involved. Now that we cleared That up, let's get started. 

Chapter 1 - The Alternate Course

In late-spring of 1997, due to financial issues, The Federation couldn't honor the big pay in Bret Hart's contract. So, it was agreed that he would go to WCW to make more money. Bret never really wanted to go and even wanted to renegotiate his contract with the WWF, but Vince McMahon wouldn't budge and Bret was forced to sign with WCW.   

Well..in This New Reality, Vince McMahon allows Bret to renegotiate his contract and they make a deal. Because of this, The Hitman never signs with WCW and remains in the WWF. 

For the most part everything in 1997 goes on as as normal,even the Montreal Screwjob. That's right, despite Bret remaining with the WWF, the Infamous event Does still happen. Only in This reality, it's part of a feud He'll have with Vince McMahon.   

As you're all well aware that in Our Reality, at the Survivor Series, the initial plan for the WWF Championship match was that Bret was gonna win the match by DQ via a run-in, but Shawn Michaels forced McMahon to change things behind the Hitman's back, thus The Montreal Screwjob.

Well, that all happens in This Alt-Reality, except it's all part of a big work to re-ignite the feud between Bret Hart and Vince McMahon. and Bret is informed about the changed finish at the last minute, but is promised that he'll get the title back before WrestleMania 14, the next year. 

Bret doesn't like it and is furious with McMahon for not telling him earlier, but agrees to go though with it.   

Note: With Bret Hart remaining with the WWF, The British Bulldog and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart do to. So, they never go to WCW and get wasted...and in The Bulldog's case, badly injured. Plus, Owen Hart never becomes the "Black Hart" OR Joins the Nation of Domination.

The Montreal Screwjob happens and Bret resumes his feud with Vince McMahon. The next night, Bret takes aim at Corporate America, while praising Corporate Canada for having more oversight and limitations than their American Counterparts. He also blames Corporate America for the Country's moral decay and declares War on it. He then promises to eradicate that "Rotten Corporate Scumbag" Vince McMahon, owner of the WWF.

While, The Hitman reaffirmed his hatred Corporate America, Vince McMahon defends it. He also defends his actions at the Survivor Series, stating that he didn't think Bret was worthy or fit to represent the WWF in the New Era. 

This all leads to a backstage altercation between The Hitman and The WWF's Head Hancho. After heated words, Hart beats up McMahon,which leads to him getting suspended for a month. 

Other than this, November and December go on as it was in Our Reality.

At In Your House: D-Generation-X, Own Hart and The British Bulldog face the New Age Outlaws for the WWF Tag Team Championships, along with the Legion of Doom and The Godwinns, making the match a Fatal 4-Way.  Other than this change, the event goes on as normal.

Note: In Our Reality it was just the Outlaws and LOD. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 2 - Into the Sunset.  

January '98 goes on as normal, except for the Hart / McMahon feud and the Royal Rumble. 

At the Royal Rumble in This Alt-Reality, The British Bulldog is in the Royal Rumble match, replacing Tom Brandi. And Bret Hart fights Vince McMahon's hand picked fighter, Tiger Ali Singh at the event, replacing the Mini Wrestlers on the card, which is moved to the next night on RAW.

The feud between Hart and McMahon ends with the Hitman winning. 

As part of a stipulation from his match with Tiger Ali Singh at the Royal Rumble, Bret Hart is granted a WWF Title Shot against Shawn Michaels on the first RAW in February. During that episode, Hart challenges Michaels to a Quebec Rules Match.  BTW, had Bret lost his match at the Rumble, he would've been forced to retire.

Note: For those Not in the know a Quebec Rules wrestling match, popularized by WWF's The Quebecers in 1993, are unique stipulations where the championship can change hands on a disqualification or count-out, and specific high-risk moves like piledrivers, top-rope attacks, and throwing opponents over the top rope are illegal, leading to a DQ or title loss. 

Anyway, thanks to Chyna, Bret wins the match by DQ and the Hart Foundation keeps D-X at bay, Bret is now a WWF Champ for the 6th Time.  

Note: This was the Only type of match Michaels would allow Bret to beat him in. Also, He was suffering from back problems, so this match not only protected his mega ego, but also his back. It's also worth noting that Michaels took a big bribe to let Hart win. McMahon offered Half of his Own Weekly Salary as a Bonus...for a Whole Month.   

In Your House: No Way Out of Texas goes on as normal, except there are 2 changes. 1 - Bret defends his title successfully against Goldust. And The British Bulldog and Jim "Anvil" Neidhart battling Jose Estrada Jr. and Miguel Perez of Los Boricuas.

Note: In this Alt-Reality, The Bret / Goldust Match replaces Taka Michinoku / Pantera and The Buldog and Anvil / Los Boricuas Match replaces The Godwinns / Quebecers.     

Anyway, The Build for WrestleMania XIV is different in this Alt-Reality too, with Bret Hart, as the Champion renewing his rivalry with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Mike Tyson is thrown into the mix, whom Bret dislikes as a person and whom Stone Cold just hates for invading the Wrestling World.

Plus, Shawn Michaels and the British Bulldog restart their feud.

At this Alt-Reality version of WrestleMania XIV, it's a Double Main Event. First it's "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith taking on Shawn Michaels in a grudge match. Then in Main Event #2 it's "Stone Cold" Steve Austin taking on Bret "Hitman" Hart for the World Wrestling Federation Championship. With "Iron" Mike Tyson being the Special Enforcer.

Shawn Michaels defeats the Bulldog and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin defeats Bret Hart in a clean finish and becomes the WWF Champion.  Bret shows some post-match sportsmanship by handing the belt over to Austin and then applauding him as he leaves the ring.

At a Post-WrestleMania press event, Bret decides to take a hiatus from Wrestling to rest and be with his family. He then officially passes the torch to Austin, as the new face of the Company.  

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 3 - Meanwhile, Back in Dubya-Cee-Dubya!!

Without Bret Hart, the WCW signs on a Hot New Talent from the WCW PowerPlant (remember that?). Replacing Jim Neidhart and The British Bulldog is a fresh New Tag Team (again, straight from the powerplant.).

The Names of these 3 men are unimportant,but in This Alt-Reality,they'll be filling the same rolls as Bret, Jim, and Davy did.

The 3 Talents would have varying success in the Company,with the Tag Team becoming jobbers in late-98. Plus, one of.the Tag Team Members gets a bad back injury at Fall Brawl '98, when he was slammed on the Warrior's Trap Door....Just like how The Bulldog was in This Reality.

The Singles Dude wins the TV Title, the US Title, The Tag Team Titles (with Goldberg) and The WCW Championship. Sadly, like with Bret in This Reality, suffers a near-career ending injury at the hands of Goldberg at Starrcade '99 in a match for the WCW Championship.

Unlike Bret, though, The Singles Dude sticks around until the Summer of 2000, where he was fired due to budget cuts and inability to preform. 

WCW Still goes under in March of 2001, so that hasn't changed.          

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 4 - Hart Family Fortunes 

After WrestleMania XIV things go on as it was in This Reality, except The British Bulldog is still working for the Company and is an occasional Tag Partner for Owen Hart, replacing Jeff Jarrett,who was Owen's partner in Our Reality.

Owen Never becomes the Black Hart or joins the Nation of Domination in This Alt-Reality, as stated earlier. As for Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, he became a commentator for the Weekend Shows, like Heat and Shotgun Saturday Night. Owen and and the Bulldog resume their Anti-American shtick, this time against American Culture and how perverted it has become. They eventually form an alliance with Right to Censor in Late-1999.

Also, due Bret being there, Owen and the Bulldog were allowed to renegotiate Their contracts for a bit more creative freedom with their characters and booking...which They get. This allows Owen to opt out of doing that infamous stunt at the 1999 Over The Edge PPV, which resulted in his death.  

So, Owen lives. He Also becomes the 1999 King of the Ring in This Alt-Reality, replacing Billy Gunn, who won the Crown in Ours. 

Also, with Bret and Bulldog in the WWF, they never sustain Their respective severe injuries they got in WCW, so It's all good.

Bret would make speratic apprentices throughout '98, '99, and 2000, including at SummerSlam '99, where he served as the Special Referee in the WWF Title match between Mankind, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and Triple H, replacing Jessie "the Body" Ventura in this Alt-Universe.

Sometime in 2000, Owen's contract was coming up, and after serious thought and consolation with his Family, He decided not to renew it. Once his contract expired, Owen left Wrestling to pursue a career as a Fireman, a dream he had since he was a boy. 

In This Alt-Reality, Owen Hart gets the Happy Ending he deserved.  

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 5 - The Hitman Joins the War

Bret Hart returned on an October 2001 edition of RAW, right in the middle of the the Invasion. In his promo, Bret talks about his career, blasts the entire McMahon Family, but re-affirms his loyalty to the WWF. He then offers to Coach Team WWF to prep them for the high stakes Survivor Series Match. 

Vince McMahon confronts Bret, and after some words, agrees to let him Coach the WWF Team. Meanwhile, Shane McMahon elects himself as the Coach of the WCW/ECW Alliance Team. And because of that, he can't participate in the match itself, so in his place he selects Tommy Dreamer of ECW.

Note: In Our Reality, Shane was part of the Alliance Team as a Wrestler, In this Alt-Reality, however, He's just the Coach and in his spot - Tommy Dreamer. 

Anyway, as part of the Training, Bret takes Team WWF into the Legendary Hart Dungeon. This brings out the potential in each of the Superstars.

Note: The WWF Team is Still made up of The Rock, The Undertaker, Kane, Chris Jericho, and The Big Show. So, no change there. 

At The 2001 Survivor Series, Bret and Shane get into an altercation during the Match, so both men are ejected from Ringside. Other than this, all goes as it did in This Reality.

After the Survivor Series, Bret Hart begins a feud with Shane McMahon, who he fights at Vengeance in December....and Wins.  

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 6 - Hitman 2k

At the 2002 Royal Rumble, Bret Hart enteres the Match itself as a surprise entrant, but fails to win it. Soon after, Bret announces his Full-Time return as an active wrestler. 

From there, Bret's career would begin to revitalize, thanks to great matches with Kurt Angle, The Undertaker, Kane, Triple H, Chris Jericho, and The Rock. And in both 2003 and 2004, He battles the Ruthless Aggression's Main Players - Batista, Edge, Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, And John Cena. 

Also in 2004, Bret renews his rivalry with Hulk Hogan and in 2005, his rivalry with Shawn Michaels. In Late 2005, Bret sustains a near-career ending injury at the hands of Brock Lesnar. Thanks to this, Bret is forced to take a long hiatus from Wrestling. 

In 2006, Bret is inducted into the WWF (Now WWE) Hall of Fame. In Early-2007, Bret returns to the Company, but announces that, thanks to the lasting effects of the injuries he sustained by Brock Lesnar, he is forced to into being a Part-Timer.. Later in the Year, he reconciles with Shawn Michaels in 2007...Years Earlier than he did in Our Reality.

Even as a Part-Timer, Bret continued to have good matches, including ones with The Miz, William Regal, and The Big Show. He even becomes U.S. Champion during that time (Twice!!).

He even helps guide the Carrers of His Niece Natalya, as well as Tyson Kidd.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 7 - The Living Legend. 

Still unable to fully recover from his injuries, Bret Hart announces his retirement in Late-2010, but wants one more match before he "Rides off into The Sunset". He chooses John Cena as his Final Opponent.

The 2 meet at TLC in the Main Event, with Cena winning. After the match, Cena and Hart shake hands and bro-hug. 

Note: In Our Reality, The Main Event at TLC was a Chairs Match between John Cena and Wade Barret. 

The next night on Raw is a celebration of Bret Hart and his career. Bret gives his farewell speech and leaves the arena to a thunderous pop. 

After all of the ceremony and pomp, Bret returns to Calgary to enjoy the rest of his life, alongside his family...including His Brother, Owen and Brother-in-Law, "British Bulldog" Davey Smith, who in This Alt-Reality, are still alive and well. 

And the Wrestling World will Always remember Bret "Hitman" Hart as a True Living Legend. 

================================================================ 

Well, This took me longer than expected, but it's Finally done. This has been My Personal Scenario of what it would've been like if Bret Stayed with the WWF, instead of jumping ship to WCW. What a difference, huh?

So, Until Next Time, Punch Nazis, Kick Commies, Resist Modern Attitudes, and Stay Gold.

Top 15 Best Toylines of the 80s and 90s

And now For something a bit different. I've talked about a lot of things on this blog, but there's one part of Geekdom that I Haven't talked much about yet - Toylines. And since we are so close to Christmas, I figured now would be an appropriate time.

This is the Top 15 Best Toylines of the 80's and 90's!!!

Okay, Before I Begin, I'm gonna be clear about something. I'm Only gonna be listing the Boys Toylines. Yeah, 'cuz let's face it, Boys had the Best Toys. Period.

Also, this is a repost from my old blog.

Anyway, let's get to it.   

15 - Super Soaker - Ok, who played with these when they were a Kid? I had to borrow from my cousin, since, I never owned Any of the Super Soakers. Anyway, whether you owned one or not, the Super Soaker Series made 90's Summers more fun.

14 - LJN WWF Wrestling Superstars - The Federation's First Figures. These big rubber guys were static and had permanent poses. But, thanks to being made of tough rubber, you can bash and slam them to your hearts content. This legendary line from LJN lasted from 1984 to 1989.

13 - M.U.S.C.L.E. - Aka Kinikuman. This Wrestling-based toyline was produced in Japan and imported over to America as M.U.S.C.L.E. Now M.U.S.C.L.E stands for Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere. Appropriate, since this toyline is made up of a buncha Weird characters. The other thing to note is that other than being made of a tougher rubber than LJN's WWF Figures, in America they only came in flesh tone, while in Japan they came in a few other colors. They also had a Championship Belt that doubled as a Ring Playset. Cool, huh?      

12 - Monster in My Pocket - An Awesome Mini-Fig line based around various Ghouls, Ghosts, Goblins, Witches, Monsters and Other Horrors. Unlike M.U.S.C.L.E, these things were made with a more softer, more pliable rubber. They also came in a variety of colors. I actually had a few of these when I was a kid. Sadly they got thrown out decades ago. 

11 - Voltron: Defender of the Universe - Voltron was Power Rangers Before Power Rangers (though super sentai existed before voltron). Anyway, The Main concept of this toyline was combining Lions (or Vehicles) to form a powerful robot. So, this was also before Transformers Combiners. I personalty never owned Any of the Voltrons (Lion or Vehicle), but I wanted too. 

10 - Micro Machines - These Legendary Micro-Cars gave Hot Wheels a run for it's money back in the 90s. They came in a variety of vehicles and even had some playsets too. Later in the Toyline's run, gimmicks were introduced, such as light up lights and color change. I had a bunch of these when I was a kid, though I forgot which ones.  

09 - Gobots - In the Early 80s Tonka brought over a fun and inexpensive little transforming robot toyline from Japan, similar to what Hasbro would do a year later with Transformers. Gobots had initial success, but was decimated by Transformers a year later, when That legendary toyline debut. Despite this, however, Gobots had 2 things that made it stand out from Transformers - A Playset and Affordability. 

08 - Thundercats - Thundercats Ho!! This LJN produced toyline had a lot of fun characters, most of which had action features (including glowing eyes). One thing to note about this line is that it was mostly comprised of Bag Guys. Still, it was a cool line and I actually had some of the figures, though none of the playsets or vehicles, sadly.  

07 - The Real Ghostbusters - Based on the Animated Series. Each Ghostbuster came with a Proton Pack (with movable streams) and a translucent little Ghost to bust. Besides the figures there were Deluxe Ghosts and Monsters, many different Vehicles, including The Ecto-1, The Firehouse Playset, and Roleplay Items like the Proton Pack and Ghost Trap. I had some of these when I was a kid too. I even had some of the Roleplay items, the Ecto-1, And the Firehouse Playset.     

06 - Hasbro WWF Figures - One of My favorite Toylines. After LJN went out of business in 1989, the WWF license went to Hasbro. The line lasted from 1990 to 1994 and each Superstar had their own action feature. Believe it or not, I still have my figures, though never owned any of the Rings and I don't have all of the figures. Still love this toyline, regardless.  

05 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Ninja Turtles was one of Thee 80s Toylines. I had a bunch of these when I was younger. I even had some of the Playsets and Vehicles too. Hey, I admit, I was Big into Ninja Turtles at the time. TurtleMania was running wild from 1988 to 1993, when it was overthrown by Power Rangers.

04 - He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - The 1st Great 80s Toyline. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe arrived on the scene in 1981 and was a hit with many young boys. For a good while, The He-Man Was America's #1 Boys Toyline, but in 1988, was quickly usurped by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and TurtleMania. And, Yes, I had some of the figures, though none of the Vehicles or Playsets.   

03 - G.I Joe : Real American Hero - A fan favorite line from the 80s and early 90s. G.I. Joe was one of 2 of Hasbro's Main Toylines, along with Transformers. These figures were very articulated for the time, so articulated they an preform Wrestling moves. Anyway, The Toyline, of course, also had a a lot of unique Vehicles and Playsets. I personally only had a handful of Figures and the Skystriker. After Real American Hero, G.I. Joe would begin to fall off the map and eventually die thanks to 2 failed (financially) follow-ups, Sgt. Savage and the Screaming Eagles in 1994 and G.I. Joe Extreme in 1996.  It would eventually be revived in the Early 2000s with what I call the "Valor vs. Venom" series.  

02 - Power Rangers (Mighty Morphin' to Lost Galaxy) - The Phenomenon that Beat the Ninja Turtles and Dominated Toy Shelves. Martial Arts Super Heroes in Color Costumes and Cool Transforming Mecha that could combine into an Awesome Robot were this Toylines main selling points. Power Rangers would remain dominate until 1998, when Pokemon became the Newest Craze.  

01 - Transformers (G1, G2, and Beast Wars) - Transforming Robots will Always be cool. Imported from Japan and given personalities by Hasbro, Transformers Became an instant hit when it first debut in 1984 and would remain popular until 1990. In 1991, Hasbro would try to revive the brand with Generation 2, but it failed. Hasbro Then tried again in 1995 with Beast Wars and, with help from the Animated Series, succeeded. Today, the brand is still going strong as a Toyline and has become Hasbro's Cash Cow.  And Yes, I Had some of these too.

Special Mention  - Mega Man - Just thought I'd mention this line. Based on the Ruby Spears TV Series, these figures had very low articulation, but came with Special Weapons that could plug into Mega Man and Protoman's Busters in an attempt to mimic the Weapon Copy the characters had in the Cartoon and the Games. PVC figures were also made.

Note: The Reason Why Lego and Hot Wheels aren't on this list is because they were created in the 40's and 60's respectively, and this list is Only for Toylines that originated in the 80's and 90's.

As you can see I've decided to talk about something a little different. Nice change of pace,huh? I may do Board Games or Table Top Games next, who the hell knows?

Well, that's it for now. Until then, Punch Nazis, Kick Commies, Resist Modern Attitudes, and Stay Gold!
