POLL: Who Should Join the BIZARRO BAD GUYS?

For the past couple of years, I've staged voting campaigns to form Bizarro versions of DC's Justice League and Marvel's Avengers. Both campaigns were a great deal of fun (for both readers and myself), so let's continue the tradition...though not with Bizarro superheroes, but Bizarro supervillains! 

Here's the deal:  I've mined various internet photo sites to dredge up some of the world's weirdest, goofiest, or just plain worst-looking supervillain costumes...which, to use the twisted logic of Superman's imperfect double, qualifies them for membership to the Bizarro Bad Guys!

Every four or five days through October, you'll get to vote on a different character category, picking who you believe deserves to be a member of:

The contestant in each character group who gets the highest number of votes by Wednesday, October 29th will make the cut....and join the final line-up of the Bizarro Bad Guys on Halloween Day!

Which villainous characters will you be voting for?  Well, to kick things off, you'll be casting your ballot for Bizarro Dr. Doom!  First, take a look at the four Dr. Doom contestants in the gallery below (if you dare).

Next, click on your choice for your least favorite costume.  

Or your favorite if you're using Bizarro-logic!

As for the other villains...stay tuned!

Oops! When deleting a spam message, I accidentally deleted a comment from "MW". Sorry about that! Anyway, here's MW's question:

"Did you consider using title "Bring on the Bizarro Bad Guys" in homage to the classic Marvel trade paperback?"

Not for this feature, but I have done an homage to that famous title with a recurring Cover to Cover feature. "Bring on the (Really Bad) Bad Guys" is my continuing series of posts that feature some of the worst supervillains ever created. In fact, part four will be coming up some time next week!

Please, please, please let there be some A.I.M guys on the ballot! It's a long shot, I know, but a guy can dream!

Though I can see he isn't as popular, probably because we can't see the rest of him, I felt it necessary to vote #3 -- moaning doom. The best part here is that there is just hair where there should be a mouth. Truly horrifying!

I actually think #2 looks kinda neat. I think one key to making a Doom costume work is making the epaulette-thingies real, or at least vaguely realistic. When they're obviously just painted cardboard, that's somehow even worse for me than the ostensibly more important *mask* being obviously just painted cardboard.

It's clearly a cropped picture, but the background in #2 makes me think the guy is at a Renaissance Faire or something.

Actually, #2 is walking down a city street with a bunch of other costumed folks. In fact, the guy in the yellow and green next to "Doom" is a pretty goofy-looking version of The Vision.
