10 Weird Marvel Villains You Won't Believe Exist

Master Pandemonium Baby Arms

In the 70's, Steve Rogers quit as Captain America and began fighting crime as the awfully costumed Nomad. Luckily, he had enemies like Gamecock to make him look good.

Carlos Cabrera was a gang leader and an experienced martial artist who was hired to track down Nomad's partner Falcon. This doesn't explain why he decided to do it while dressed as a giant chicken.

While tracking down Falcon, Carlos and his gang (a group of people who willingly followed a man who, again, dressed like a giant chicken) came across Nomad and fought him. They did not win.

He later tried to take his girlfriend hostage during a standoff with the police, but was easily taken down by Captain America's friend Asp.

Gamecock's only real accomplishment was that he was one of the few villains able to survive an encounter with Scourge, an identity taken up a group of assassins who went around killing D-list criminals. Red Skull hired a Scourge to kill Gamecock, but he managed to escape. When Red Skull found out, he killed the assassin (whose life really wasn't worth living now anyway).

After seemingly dying in an underground fighting tournament, Gamecock reappeared in Power Man and Iron Fist. He retired from crime to raise his daughter.
