The X-Men have faced Magneto, Apocalypse, and even the Dark Phoenix… but what about the other guys? In this episode of our comic book podcast, Corey, Dylan, and Jon take a hilarious yet informative deep dive into four of the strangest and most underrated villains in X-Men history: The Blob, Toad, Vanisher, and Mastermind.

From their bizarre backstories and odd powers to their biggest appearances in comics, cartoons, and movies, we spotlight how these classic villains shaped mutant history—even if they’ve been overshadowed by bigger names. Expect deep cuts, funny commentary, and plenty of love for these misfit Marvel bad guys.

If you’re an X-Men fan, a comic book history buff, or just someone who loves hearing about the weirdest parts of superhero lore, this episode is for you.
