3. Eternity Mind. Blown. A guy made of the universe? With a typically Ditkoesque mantle with an elaborate collar? They don't come half as awesome as Eternity. I knew you were going to pick this character |

 ah, Victor Von Doom a.k.a. Dr Doom Probably my favorite Marvel character, but that's not why he made this list. Just look at him. First of all, the armor; think The Man in the Mask in the whole body armor.  and that regal green cape and even the pistol on his side Love the look of Doom |

#3- POISON IVYSince her debut in 1966, Poison Ivy was one of the characters that should've just come and gone as another villain in the Batman Universe, but has held her ground and is one of the most popular baddies in comics. Her original look is pretty much the same: green leotard leggings, and a leafy bodice, just a few things changed here and there, depending on the artist and era, but the main aspects of the costume still are the same. Thanks to Neil Gaiman, who gave her new life after Crisis, and re-giggered her origin but the costume stayed the same. But what put her in the stratosphere is Bruce Timm's look of Poison Ivy in the Batman Animated series. A popular costume for cosplay, she's a delight....  Nice set of flowers... |

# 3 Alvit
Hawkman #13, 1966 Art by Murphy Anderson, Story by Gardner Fox I read this story a loooonnnng time ago thanks to my cousins (they had a massive collection of Silver Age DCs). I remember being enchanted by Alvit, who looks like a Valkyrie but is really from the farflung future. The story contained several Norse mythological references. I was probably already aware of Greek and Roman mythology/gods, etc., but she was my introduction to Norse mythology (I started watching the Thor cartoons came a bit later). Anyway I loved her look: the winged helmet; the gauzy cape and sarong; the green bodysuit; the flowing hair--no one has ever inked hair texture better than Anderson IMO.  ETA: How do you like that "Scooter will send you" blurb in the third panel--DC, how could you?!?   Now I hadn't seen the Hawkman issue in decades but thanks to the TwoMorrows Murphy Anderson book that I bought a few years ago, which contains the image below, I was able to determine which issue this story appeared in.

Hawkman #13, 1966 Art by Murphy Anderson, Story by Gardner Fox I read this story a loooonnnng time ago thanks to my cousins (they had a massive collection of Silver Age DCs). I remember being enchanted by Alvit, who looks like a Valykrie but is really from the farflung future. The story contained several Norse mythological references. I was probably already aware of Greek and Roman mythology/gods, etc., but she was my introduction to Norse mythology (I started watching the Thor cartoons came a bit later). Anyway I loved her look: the winged helmet; the gauzy cape and sarong; the green bodysuit; the flowing hair--no one has ever inked hair texture better than Anderson IMO. That's picture is incredibly well drawn and gorgeous everything ... I'm dumbfounded why I miss her! ... I read many issues of Hawkman in the Silver Age and how I've missed this! Great Pick!!! ... Murphy Anderson in his very best here!!! |

Farrar, I thought I had sent this post earlier, so forgive me if I did, but that Hawkman art looks like Murphy Anderson channeling Hal Foster. Beautifully, meticulously illustrated. (Can't call it "drawn.") Excellent choice!

Another counting screw-up... leaving me one short again... In the jungle, the mighty jungle... Day Ten - Kraven the Hunter by Ditko and Lee  Surprised that he hasn't turned up more on the list... all oranges and greens with the big cool lion's head, big bad mustache and slicked back black hair...  (and cool extra with a really great look himself, The Chameleon!) |

(and cool extra with a really great look himself, The Chameleon!) Another late drop from my list might go through the entire 12 Days without seeing Kraven. So glad that turned out not to be the case. the only thing that bugs me about Kraven's costume is those spikes on his belt. Not terribly practical unless you are planning to hug your foes to death. |
