And I'm taking Poison Ivy off the table. Too easy. I think I'd go with The Penguin, mostly cause that just seems like normal crimes.

Poison Ivy does environmental aid and is therefore just generally good and catwoman generally just robs rich people. I'm trying to avoid the easy picks of non evil villains and a lot of woman villains fo fall into that category, gotta admit. Women tend to get the sympathetic/misled villains thing cause comics.

Magneto is sympathetic too tho and we’re allowing him but not Catwoman?

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

In this specific case cause I was distracted from that by my post about how I don't think he's sympathetic cause fuck mutants. Magneto has gotten up to some planet destroying shit tho. Catwoman hasn't really ever done anything all that villainous thst I'm aware of and is an anti hero at her most evil as far as I'm aware. And if there's an easy answer to latch onto in a thread like this everyone else just goes with that instead of thinking of something for themselves. She's unambiguously cool and ambiguous good. Anyway, it doesn't really matter cause it's an intentionally silly question.
