The time has finally come to dig into one of the most labyrinthine elements of mainstream comics- Weapon X.  In reality it’s actually just a smaller component of the much larger and even more complex labyrinth that is X-Men continuity, but I’m not ready to take on that behemoth yet.  While the codename o Weapon X is somewhat hard to pin down, the concept of Weapon X as a secret program to enhance mutant ability first entered Marvel continuity in 1991.  

Despite how recent that is, Weapon X has forever been the subject of countless revisions, retcons, and reboots during the near 30 years of origin exploring Wolverine’s gotten up to.  In that time, the program has changed name, expanded, contracted, and added a slew of other characters as part of its vast roster and today I’m giving the full list of Weapon X’s various members. 

Comics Rainbow - Daredevil Villains

This Friday will see the premiere of Marvel and Netflix’s second collaborative streaming show Jessica Jones, based on the comic series Alias.  The show is the next installment in the lead up the streaming crossover series Defenders after Daredevil earlier this year and will feature the second Daredevil villain brought to life in the form of David Tennant’s Purple Man.  It’s been no secret that the Marvel cinematic universe has been lacking for interesting bad guys since day one and a big part of that has been that all the cool bad guys are part of franchises Marvel doesn’t own the rights to like Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, or the X-Men.  However, it’s not at all surprising that Marvel is on the cusp of scoring two big villain wins this year with Kingpin and Purple Man, two Daredevil bad guys.  Daredevil has always had one of the more interesting rogues galleries among heroes, usually counted alongside Flash, Batman, and Spider-man as one of the best in the genre so it’s about time Marvel dove into that toy box of madness for inspiration.  So, that’s what we’re going to look at today, the full spectrum look at the many foes of Daredevil; shades, shames, successes and all.
