10 Obscure Marvel And DC Villains You Won’t Believe Exist
7. The Cavalier
The Cavalier is literally just a guy who likes swords and crime, and speaks like some aristocrat from the 13th century. Combine this with a fashion sense somewhere between Robin Hood and the Three Musketeers, and you have a delightfully strange villain.
This is amped up to eleven by his motivation for doing crime, which is to expand his collection for his private museum, because look at him! Of course it’s for something crazy like that.
It’s been mostly retconned now, but in the old comics, Batman did struggle with the “mystery” of who The Cavalier was. This would be understandable – only, he was one of Bruce Wayne’s friends, and didn’t wear a mask, so it wasn’t perhaps as great a puzzle as it was made out to be.
Some would argue villains need more substance than that – but nay, we say.
