The Melanoma
Striking fear in those of us who have enough sense to use Sunscreen.

I sort of picture The Melanoma as a supervillian rather than a superhero. Years of poor skin care has left him (or her) a leathery visage whose body is covered with moles, blemishes, pustules and other skin conditions too horrible to mention. Unfortunately, for the public at large, The Melanoma perpetrates all of their dastardly deeds in the nude.

Annotation:







       Since melanomae? change shape and appearance rapidly it might be difficult to pin down exactly whether it was him you were up against. Just don't let him into your house. Without urgent treatment a melanoma invariably kills its host.

       Mephista, your annotation made me realize something startling: Supervillains almost never have trusty sidekicks, but superheroes often do. Why is that? Do we need a National Supervillain Sidekick Board to advertise (as in "Got Milk") and promote awareness of this pressing need?

       Supervillains just can't stand the competition. The only one I can think of is The Claw from Inspector Gadget, and his sycophantic cat.

       What about Dr. Evil and Mini-Me? And I think The Claw's cat was more of a sympathizer and source of comfort than a sidekick (did it actually ever do anything? I forget?)

       No sidekicks. That's why we have...   

       The Henchman.   

       As for a national supervillian... hmmmm.. maybe Al Gore?
