Where exactly would a man made out of bees buy a purple cloaked hood and gauntlets? Or where would he ever get the idea to do put them on in the first place? I mean he's made of bees! Why would bees want to wear a cape? The bees under the cape and gloves would be getting squished and killed.

Thankyou Bill for summing up what I've been trying to tell people for years.

Hes a Nazi.
Made of Bees.
The villain potential is simply mind boggling.

Hmm, many of you have vastly different taste than I do.
I have PPSSM 36 & 37, and I would have no trouble parting with them.

"I wish somebody would put that show out on DVD."
Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends is the only obscure TV show I've ever loved enough to buy a bootleg copy of, and yes, it's just as awesome as I remembered it. The Swarm episode was classic. Now if only someone would release it legally...
There was a Sensational Spider-Man issue with Swarm in it during the Ben Reilly era, and man, clone or no clone, that was a good comic.

[...] I’ve always had a soft spot for the Vulture– he’s my favorite Spidey baddie (not counting Swarm, who, let’s face it, is everyone’s enemy). It’s probably because I have the mentality of a 90-year-old man. Many think Vultch is lame because of his old age, but c’mon! Super-villains don’t practice ageism. Even if he’s on Medicare and collecting social security and eats nothing but applesauce and kidney mush, the Vulture is still a formidable opponent to that blasted webslinging wallcrawler. I believe he’s loaded with potential, most of which remains untapped. [...]

No, that's Norm.

22718, he COULD be great, but he lacks get up and go, ya know?

Wrong. Most would agree that itâ€™s Drone #22718. Heâ€™s a total lame-ass.

I stand corrected. Is he the one who always shows up to work drunk?

Welcome back, Bill! I love how he thinks the 'Los Angelinos' are fleeing in terror on that one page. Going by their expressions, it's more like 'Hey, a guy going for that Guinness record! Neat! Better get out of the way now...'

Hmm, so heâ€™s kind of like a Borg collective unto himself?

Well, yeah, except assimilation is kind of tricky...the trouble is, I suppose, that bees leave their stingers in their victims, not the other way around. Now, a collective of sentient mosquitoes, there'd be a concept in a million...Lord, somebody stop me before I hurt myself.

At the comic store today I had Essential Spec. Spiderman vol.2 in hand saying to myself Nazi bees, Nazi bees, Nazi bees. Luckly cooler heads prevailed and I picked up Showcase Superman Family instead.

Did anyone else ever wonder why the dozens of Marvel Nazi Super-Villains never got together to really take another shot at the ruling the world thing.

You've got Strucker, Baron Blood, Arnim Zola, Swarm, the Red Skull and countless others but the never sat down and said, "hey guys... you know what?" That would make for a really cool story.

"I think the lamest part of Swarm is the gloves and hood. "

Wrong. Most would agree that it's Drone #22718. He's a total lame-ass.

Anyway, I thought this entry was the bee's knees

For a future villain, I'd like to see an entry on Psycho Man. I mean, the name alone makes him a classic. If a guy calls himself Psycho Man, you just know he's not the type to take in homeless puppies and help little old ladies across the street.

Seems like a Nazi made out of bees wouldnâ€™t pass the partyâ€™s own racial purity standards.

Yeah, well, would you want to be the goosestepper to take that up with him?

Generic Nazi: Herr Swarm, I regret to inform you that you haff been determined to be an impure, non-Aryan specimen. Therefore ve vill haff to-- Ouch! Aagh! It hurts! The stinging, it hurts! Mein Gott, keep them away from me!
