Welcome back to DEATHFAME, the series in which we spend more time releasing supplementary material than proper chapters themselves!

More seriously, I was (and am still) working on Chapter 4 of the main plot proper but not only classes resumed (and my computer, when it comes to Wi-Fi, is kinda crap and I can't do much), I also caught COVID for the first time since it started! All those 3 years of escaping it reduced to zero! Well, not really but... it stinks. And it slows me down. And it provokes awful coughing fits that I hate. And it makes me sweat.

In the meantime, since I read New Discoveries, by Movie-Brat & Ben2Dartmouth, I had the idea of making the full list of the most dangerous threats currently in the IC Multiverse. Brat & Ben already showed the first twenty (as well as the picks #21, #23, #25, #27 & #29), so I filled it with my own ideas, ran it by both of them to have their suggestions, made some changes according to their suggestions et voila!

Beyond all the pics already showed in New Discoveries, the spots #26, #32, #34, #45, #50, #54, #59, #60, #73 & #83 are direct suggestions by Ben2Dartmouth, the spots #57, #65 & #66 are direct suggestions by Movie-Brat and all the rest is my own ideas. Also, I have to warn you that this list might have... surprising placements to you and I want you to remember that this is not necessarily about doing a popularity contest about who's the most threatening, it's about showing us who the relevant (at least, in our opinion) villains are and, maybe, inspiring you to write about them!

But I've talked enough for now. Enjoy the interlude.

To those it may concern,

If you are reading this message, you are either from the Council or are in a high-enough rank and standing among the Citadel that we judged you trustworthy enough to know what you're about to read. With a little bit of help, the mailing system will also manage to work without problem and no leaks will occur. I would like to avoid a new occurrence of the Foregate Incident, just because we have no monetary problems doesn't mean we can allow ourselves to waste it all just to cover up the idiocy of some Pigheads here.

It took us a little bit of time, but our best hackers finally managed to infiltrate the computers of the Earth-030122 Illuminati and to get a hold of several of their documents. The most important is the one that you will find just below : their list of the 100 greatest current threats to the Multiverse. You are required to read this with great attention, as those people/beings/races have already proven themselves to be among the most wretched and reckless scum you will ever have to fight. The Database has individual files on each and every single one of them, you are also required to familiarize yourself with them and their actions in order to combat them the best way possible.

I don't doubt that maybe, some questions have been raised inside your mind now. It has been the same for me and my fellow Council members. That's why we decided to held a meeting in two weeks in order to discuss the List, the threats concerned and the course of action to take going forward. Don't expect us to pronounce a clause of non-interference, this would be anthetical to our purpose and a grave risk towards the security of the Citadel on the long-term.

Every person who received the present message and is able to join us this day is invited. Snacks and drinks will be provided.

For the rest, I will need to take some tranquilizers because, believe me, despite the usefulness of those informations, I would rather deal with something much more peaceful and less worrying in implications than that. Gygax & Arneson help us all.

Thank you,
Earth-1 Pighead

Some notes before I go. For starters, yes, this list has dozens of villains who appeared in previous installments of Infinity Crisis and it was deliberate, it gave me a good base to do this list. The rest were villains that I considered as the type of people who would be willing to conquer more than one universe and I'm not displeased at all by the final result. To go a bit beyond and talk about those who hasn't appeared or need a little intro:

- The Deadites come from the Evil Dead series. The Tethered come from Jordan Peele' second movie, Us. The Carnivore Sheep are from a 2007 New Zealand horror/comedy film named Black Sheep. The Beldam is from Coraline. The Krites are from a quadrilogy of sci-fi/horror-ish movies that started in the mid-80s, named Critters. The Friends on the Other Side are the antagonists of The Princess and the Frog. The Lord of the Locusts is from the comic-book Bone. Auntie' House comes from the cult classic surrealist Japanese horror film Hausu. Lord Chaos is from Dissidia Final Fantasy. The Idea of Evil is from Berserk.

- Bastion is the main antagonist of the 2010 storyline X-Men : Second Coming. Knull is a Marvel villain, the deity that created all symbiotes and a prominent Venom rogue in the comics in recent years. The Kanamits are from The Twilight Zone. Amatsu-Mikaboshi is the Japanese God of Evil. The One Below All is the main antagonist of Immortal Hulk. Baba Yaga is, of course, a character who comes from folk tales and legends. Deus Ex Machina is from Matrix. Malphas comes from the show Dead of Summer. Faction Paradox is a weird splinter from the Doctor Who franchise who later separated from the franchise completely (and is just plain bizarre in general, from what I gathered). Loptr is one of the antagonists from Bayonetta 2. Holda the Witch comes from the 2020 Hansel & Gretel movie. The Entity is from Dead by Daylight. Finally, Mundus comes from Devil May Cry.

- I didn't have to make a lot of changes to the list but, however, there's some I wrote off the list because I feel that other villains (those who were suggested) were better, because I had other plans for them or just because I didn't felt them in general. The villains that were originally planned to have their names on that list before being cut are: the Joker, the Earth-99 Batman, Skeletor & Hordak (yep, both in the same placement in reference to their team-up), the Psycho-Pirate, the Derichets, Nyx, Doctor Sheng, the Ultra-Humanite, Lord Frieza, Super Buu, the Batman Who Laughs, John Sublime, Tenebrae & Handsome Jack.

- Also, Jack Spicer was very close from being written off, but Movie-Brat objected, he wanted me to keep him on the list, which is why Super Buu (and the BWL, a little bit) were cut.

- Shout-out, once again, to Movie-Brat & Ben2Dartmouth for the suggestions made and helping me a bit with the list (and giving me their respective confirmations that the version that you're reading currently was good to go)!

And that's all I wrote.
