 Kragoff or Red Ghost and his merry band of simians. What motivates a villain to train monkeys then take them to outer space to expose them to cosmic radiation? Who else would come up with such a ridiculous plan? 10/10 points for scheming, got to hand it to him it's a good idea. 1/10 for villain nastiness, why monkeys couldn't he have gone with panthers or sharks? Any way this from Chris at the Rapsheet
Ivan Kragoff, a scientist working for the Soviet government, had distinguished himself among party leaders with his advanced theories on cosmic radiation and its mutagenic effects. These theories were based in large part upon his observation and study from afar of America's Fantastic Four, who had gained their superhuman powers from exposure to cosmic rays. Kragoff calculated that the circumstances that caused the high radiation levels that gave the Fantastic Four their superhuman powers were about to be repeated. He proposed to party leaders that he and a team of trained simians be sent in a spaceship into Earth orbit to be exposed to cosmic radiation in the hopes that they too would develop superhuman abilities.
Unknown to Soviet officials, however, Kragoff timed his launch to coincide with a mission that the Fantastic Four's leader Reed Richards, alias Mister Fantastic, had planned to the mysterious Blue Area of the moon. Kragoff intended to journey there himself and use whatever superhuman powers he might develop to defeat the American scientist, whom he fiercely envied. Kragoff launched his spaceship, and during a cosmic ray storm he gained the ability to make himself intangible at will. His three trained simians--a gorilla, an orangutan, and a baboon--gained super simian abilities at the same time. Kragoff dubbed himself the Red Ghost. |

 Grinhilda played by a sexy Angelina Jolie in the recent Beowulf. Beowulf is an old story from British mythology. Angelina does amazing role as this temptatious villain. Although hey body plays an important role one site clams she's not 'featured' in the vioce actors creadits; What not being featured mean I'm not sure. I haven't double checked for myself  but it sounds like someone elses voice was used..... shame! Any way she's still a choice actress and Grinhilda is still an amazing villainess (yeah I just made that word up). She's seems evil, yet you can still sympathsize with her for the loss of her son. Although she is ment to eat people, we don't see a lot of that in the film; A lot of suduction does go down. The heroes villains of this film are of epic proportions (as one would expect from any story re-told as many as this one). Much like the ring in Lord Of The Rings, Grinhilda is a source of desire and who's true nature or hidden power is of ill intent. |

" In addition to his cue, 8-Ball has used floating spy cameras shaped like pool balls and two vehicles apparently based on the same hover-technology. The first was the Hover-Rack, a four-man craft in the form of a pool-ball rack, while the second was a large (approximately 8' diameter) 8-ball. The means by which 8-Ball was able to stand on a smooth flying sphere are unrevealed, but it is likely his boots may be magnetized." marvunapp.com |
