What comic companies are missing is the simple thing that made comic villains great: The fact that their civilian names left them with no choice but to become super villains. Examples:
Edward Nigma: The Riddler
Otto Octavius: Dr. Octopus
Pamela Isley: Poison Ivy
Victor Von Doom: Doctor Doom
Roy G. Bivalo: Rainbow Raider (my personal favorite)
So I ask that all the comic book companies out there start creating brand new villains whose civilian identities reflect their super villain alter egos.
I'm still intrigued by this Roy G. Bivalo. That was genius!
