10 Most Unexpectedly Powerful Marvel Villains

6. Bessie The Hell Cow

Stilt-Man Punisher
Marvel

Bessie had always been a special cow. Even when she was living an ordinary life on an ordinary dairy farm three hundred years ago, she was still producing much more milk than the average cow.

She would soon become famous for something much more horrific, after she was bitten by Count Dracula himself and transformed into Hell Cow.

Bessie the Hell Cow may be one of Marvel's lesser known femme fatales, but she is certainly one of the most powerful. Many people have attempted to murder the beast over the three hundred years of her undead career, and all have failed.

Even when she was beheaded and had her body mulched up for burger meat, she was able to possess another cow and continue her lifestyle of sucking blood and producing vampiric milk. She also possesses superbovine strength and agility, the power of flight in her half-bat/half-cow form, and the ability to transform her entire body into a cloud of gas.

Although she is literally a vampire in the form of a 1600 pound horned animal, Hell Cow is not without her supporters. Within the Marvel Universe, a society for the protection of undead animals uses Bessie as their spokesperson, while both Deadpool and the Chameleon have hired her to work as an arms dealer and an informant, respectively.

She also wears a red and black cape and occasionally uses a robot exo-skeleton to walk around upright. She is the best.
