Julian McMahon
Goodness, let’s all enjoy the Hotness that is Hot Bad Guy Julian McMahon! Sure, he played a demon in Charmed and an amoral plastic surgeon in Nip/Tuck, but it was his flair as Super Villain Victor Von Doom in Fantastic Four that really cemented his place in the Hot Bad Pantheon.
So, let’s all imagine that Victor Von Doom is dating Reed Richards’ ex-girlfriend. He’s super-smart, but Reed is even smarter. Although Mr. Von Doom (and if that isn’t a fantastic villainous name, I don’t know what is) is incredibly rich. Reed is forced to go to Victor to ask for funding. Of course, the little trip doesn’t go all that well and the five stars end up with superpowers. (Not really a Bad Thing, er, except for The Thing, but that’s a different homage.) Victor, like so many are prone to do, decides to use his powers for Evil, a position I think we can all get behind. His first goal is to destroy the Fantastic Four. After that, um… Yeah. No idea. That seems to be his only agenda. Maybe he intends to capture them and force them into becoming his own form of sick personal entertainment. He’ll watch them cavort on strange metal sculptures while he drinks sherry and sits on his inexplicably large chairs and laughs. Or maybe he’ll go on to rule the world. He could go either way here.
Regardless, he’s a Bad Guy. I mean, look what he did to Wanna Be Hot Bad Guy Ioan Gruffudd! Not that I mind him being forced into dark blue spandex, but really! And the best part of the whole thing is that there’s a clear opening for a sequel with more Doctor Doom. Maybe next time, he’ll even lose the mask so we can all more truly appreciate his hotness.
loses a point for including a mask in his Villainous Wardrobe
not that destroying the Fantastic Four isn’t an admirable goal, but he could do so much more
we all saw those spandex suits you designed, Victor
