What comic villains would you want to see star in a dystopian story like The Dark Knight Returns?
I’d like to see a story about an older Bullseye trying to survive in a post apocalyptic wasteland and satisfy his desire to kill people in extravagant ways. A similar story about Sabretooth or Carnage would be great too. Even better if they’re trying to avoid capture and death on the orders of a powerful villain (Dr. Doom, Red Skull, Leader etc.) that managed to build an empire in the ruins.

![r/Spiderman - [Sinister War (2021) #4] "So take a bow... As we close the curtain of the saga of Spider-Man." Spider-Man fighting almost forty enemies at the same time (including Juggernaut and fucking Morlun), refuses to give up.](https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/M4_MOxk2Yl8Hc0mZQPXv7LGaun7A8QXtuQDznndP75s.jpg)
Kraven, in a climate change wasteland, could be good.
There’s a post-apocalyptic Bullseye in the Old Man Hawkeye series, so you should check it out and see if it’s similar to what you’re hoping for.
Big Wheel: Fury Road. Or alternatively, I’d love to see Electro in a post-apocalyptic world where electricity is scarce, having to get by as an ordinary human except for rare instances where he can get some juice in him
Awesome stuff
Electro walks around with a ben Franklin kite.
That’d be sick
There's a couple villains that I would want to se in a dystopian story. Either Hobgoblin (Phil Urich or Roderick Kingsley) would work in a dystopian story. Or possibly a Demogoblin if the "They're a demon" part is downplayed.
I wonder how someone like Doctor Octopus would survive in a dystopian or post-apocalyptic.
Loved to see an old and grizzled Taskmaster coming out of retirement.
The Wrecking Crew in a post apocalypse setting would be cool.
Ra’s, Vandal Savage, and Etrigan make sense for a wasteland thing.
mysterio, uses his holographic tech to make everything pretty, uses his tech to act like he beat spider-man and is a good looking guy....but in truth it's all a lie. Story been done a million times but still could be cool
