He had his own goals that he believed in, and he was willing to get his hands messy to achieve them, but he wasn't bad just for the sake of being bad. His goals and methods were just counter to the Valiant heroes goals and methods, and that's where he got into conflicts. He was really machiavellian, which I can understand and appreciate.
Just a thought: Everyone keeps mentioning how Erica was gone after Unity, but that was the Erica from 4001. If DNV starts up in the modern age continuing from the old Valiant continuity, or post-Unity continuity, whatever, The Erica of 2007 will be alive and well, in hiding with Albert. She could easily be a covert villain in DNV.
Just when I thought no one would mention this little detail. Good oberservation!

Erica is easily the most important "villain". She was after all, present from the beginning as Phil's first adversary. Her action against him was the catalyst for the end of A&O.

Re: Who's the most important villian in the Valiant universe
The most important is Erica, simply because of Unity. But the villains that were the continual thorn in the heroes side were Harada and Darque.comicmark wrote:Just wondering who people think is the most important Valiant villian: Harada, Master D'arque, or someone else?

Some people spend their whole lives believing in fairy tales, usually because they don't want to give up the fabulous prizes.

Don't speak too soon. I'm not saying he is part of DNV, but he has been seen with one of the owners. Now, to what value we should place on just seeing the two of them together is up to our own judgement and deductive reasoning.comicmark wrote:Fortunately, Massarsky is gone from Valiant for good,Second_Death wrote:![]()
Discussion is now over. We have our answer.so he's not eligible for a vote.

Wow. Did not know that.
Not the first time I've spoken too soon, if indeed I did.

And with the wispy clothes she liked to wear, you wouldn't have to pull the pants down to spank her.Chiclo wrote:I'd spank her. Particularly with her hair grown out like in 4001.*SQUEE* wrote:She turned up to get spanked in Deathmate.But she was a good villian.
I would anyway, but one wouldn't have to.....

One thing I liked about the early Valaints was that most of our "heroes" had enough problems with out major villians messing up their game.
Aric = adjusting to the modern world
Solar = to what he had done and what he had become
Jack = what was happening to him at night
Harby kids = just trying to be kids
But as for the question.... Harada most important, Darque, much more cooler!

Leon - IMO, the sighting of Massarsky and J. Kothari in NYC together was probably just that. Massarsky is a lawyer, and he could have been using that angle to help DNV get along, but (again, IMO) there is no direct involvement, i.e., S.M. having a position in DNV.
