Nearly 50 years ago, Marvel published one of its first collected editions in 1976's Bring on the Bad Guys, a now classic tome that brings together the origin stories of some of Marvel's best known and most dangerous villains with new introductions from Stan Lee, some of which established apocryphal stories about the real world origins of the characters that have since become comic industry legend.
Now, in 2025, writer Marc Guggenheim is leading the charge for a new Bring on the Bad Guys comic event which puts those same characters - Doctor Doom, Green Goblin, Abomination, Loki, Red Skull, Dormammu, and Mephisto - in the spotlight for a series of seven one-shots that feature each of those classic villains in the lead of their own one-shots.
