VICTIMS OF THE SCOURGE OF THE UNDERWORLD: Scourge's Kill List

A mystery man (or was it a woman?) had been killing their way through some of the worst villains in the Marvel Universe for a full year before Captain America learned that it was all part of a larger plan. I didn't start regularly reading comics until a few years after that and first saw mention of the Scourge in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe trade paperbacks which included an entry on the Scourge's victims. I was fascinated by the array of bizarre-looking villains I thought I'd never get to read about as I didn't have access to back-issues at the time! Though, that would obviously change.

Below is a list of the Scourge's victims in the build-up to the SCOURGE OF THE UNDERWORLD storyline, along with every appearance up until their demise. While characters sometimes returned from the dead, they tended not to do that as much back in those days. However, many of the Scourge's victims have since returned, so I've also included the issue that featured their comeback. All characters are listed in the order that Scourge killed them!
