Peg People Wave 14

The joys of the rotating magic box (or bag) from George of G.I. Jigsaw. Today's wave has a mix of the old and the new, male and female. It's eclectic and fun! There's a lot of them, which is fine with me, but let's get into them all!

The mutant, Mindworm, made his first appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man 138, and was killed decades later in the 2004 volume two of Spectacular Spider-Man 22. He made a handful of appearances in the pages of Spider-Man in the 70's and 80's, but really didn't get utilized all that much.

Morlun may look like your average vampire, but don't be fooled. He and his family are some of the deadliest enemies to Spider-Man across the multiverse. They're hunters, and Spider-Man is the prey, and their food source. For a brutal read, and first appearance of many Spider-Man iterations, including Spider Punk, check out the 2014 Spider-Verse storyline in the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man.

Gibbon's story is kind of tragic. He didn't actually start out as a bad guy. Rather, he was an orphan, who after coming of age without being adopted, joined a circus. Throughout his whole life he was picked on, and when this continued at his new job, he quit. Seeing Spider-Man one day, he decided to approach the hero to engage him about becoming partners, to which the hero laughed in the man's face. This set in motion a fight, which was witnessed by Kraven the Hunter, who convinced Gibbon to join him in his quest to defeat the wallcrawler.

What type of woman could love Cletus Kasady, AKA Carnage? Answer - Shriek. Her characteristics include being criminally insane, an ability to manipulate sound, and she often goes on killing sprees. Wow, what a catch! Her biggest story arc to date came in the form of the Maximum Carnage crossover event.

George went with the red dress version of Delilah as seen in the first page of her first appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man 414. When not undercover or in disguise, this assassin strikes in a very skimpy pink skintight outfit, rocking a long ponytail, because she was, after all, created in the 90's. An era of well endowed women in scant clothing.

One of the siblings of Venom, Scream was created in a lab by M.A.D. after kid knapping Eddie Brock, and extracting five symbiote seeds from him. These were then merged with humans, each creating its own violent form. Among the brothers and sisters are Lasher, Phage, Agony, and Riot.

In an era of social media, and the many people addicted to it, it only makes sense that a Marvel character would eventually come about. Enter Screwball, the first live streaming villain. Her sole goal is to commit crimes while streaming to increase views.

Amidst an era of clones was born the Grey Goblin. A clone created by Harry Osborn spliced together with DNA of Norman Osborn and Gwen Stacy. Though they died, Mephisto would reincarnate them again and again, with the sole purpose to use them to get Spider-Man's soul. Gabriel would eventually become the Grey Goblin. That's as un-convoluted as I can explain it, but there's more...So much more.

When George created this one, the thought it was Richard Fisk he was checking off the checklist. He wasn't wrong. Technically, The Schemer was Richard in disguise. However, when in this garb, he's known as his alter ego, The Schemer.

Gotta love those 80's created villains! Slyde created a chemical compound which would stick to anything. However, after being fired by his employer, crime was naturally the next step. He created a suit coated in the substance, and found he could use it to slide across floors, and stick to anything.

Regent has the ability to abstract the powers from other heroes, and I suppose villains, and transfer them to his specially built suit. With the powers, he uses them to wage ware against super heroes, angry with them for the death of his family, who were lost during a battle between the Avengers and Masters of Evil. Revenge is a dish best served tacos! I like tacos.

Wrestler turned villain, turned member of Spider-Man's Revenge squad, better known as The Legion of Losers. Sometimes a villain can't even be taken serious to villain.

The early 70's of The Amazing Spider-Man have a very specific look to them. The covers look like the generic movie posters of the era, and during these years, many a doom and gloom villain came to be. Enter Gog, an alien creature, found by Kraven the Hunter as a small child after crash landing on Earth. Kraven would do what Kraven does, and manipulate the creature into becoming evil, only to use him for his plans.

If anyone could control the Kingpin, Wilson Fisk, that would be his wife, Vanessa. With one word she could silence the man, stave his anger, and even stop him right in the moment he would have killed Spider-Man.

Panda-Mania is a relatively new villain to the Spider-Man universe, and one who was part of White Rabbit's team, The Menagerie. She didn't last long as a criminal, being arrested after an early heist, and being behind bars in the newly built Ravencroft Institute ever since.

Shathra is motivated by nothing short of jealousy for her sister who created the Great Web, which would become the Web of Life and Destiny, aka the portal to all worlds of the Spider-Verse. This was a result of her sister finding fault with Shathra's own Great Nest. Her hatred for her sister led her to want to destroy all Spider-Men in existence, and do away with her sister's creation, and have her own take its place.

There are three versions of the Human Fly, and this one just so happens to be the villain and nemesis of Spider-Man. Don't panic, George, this is the one I was referencing when I made the checklist. But, do feel free to make the other two!

And that wraps up wave 14. George told me he actually ran out of male pegs, thus the heavy influx of female characters this time around. That's not an issue, as far as I'm concerned. These are all great additions to the ever grow cast of characters he's created to date. Speaking of which, check out the updated checklist!

There was no mystery figure this time around, but that's cool. Seventeen is more than enough to receive in one fell swoop. I'm just super happy that George is still all in, and keeps cranking these out.
