Well, Chameleon would have made sense. But Hobgoblin would have been ideal, for his constantly shifting secret identity…

“Because Mantlo missed out on the opportunity, I am now leaving it to you folks – what would be the most awesome villain for Man-Beast to tear off his mask and reveal that he secretly was at some point in #15?”

Why, Psycho-Man, of course!

Razorback makes me wonder how the Rhino became such a badass Spidey villain when guys like Grizzly and the Gibbon couldn’t cut the mustard.

It’s also amusing how DC never bothered to sue over the “Brother Power” moniker being swiped after Joe Simon’s creation fizzled right out of the gate. I tell ya, good buddies… that raggedy dude gets no respect.

The Hypno Hustler!

PS so did Flash know Spidey’s identity? Or was he all ” you’ll never guess what happened to me?” when he met Pete.

Judging by this episode he has seen more action than some Avengers reservists.

what would be the most awesome villain for Man-Beast to tear off his mask and reveal that he secretly was at some point in #15?

J. Jonah Jameson!
And it would be sweet at some point if JJJ said “I would’ve gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for you meddling kids!”

“Hate-monger” and “Man-beast” are certainly fine, traditional supervillain names (also suitable for heavy metal bands), but “Man-monger” and “Hate-beast” would have been even better.

Fancy Dan

I remember this story fondly. I must have been nine or ten when it was published, and it was one of the first Marvel “sagas” where I owned all the installments. I still think Razorback is pretty cool. He showed up in some issues of John Byrne’s She-Hulk series, if memory serves.

Not another mask, but it turns out Doc Ock swapped minds with the Man Beast, and is now in his body for the next 2 years or so…

Haven’t read this but I remember Razorback from his appearance in She-Hulk, which is of course a stamp of awesomeness.
For some reason Hatemonger never made the cut in that book…

Not only did Byrne bring back Razorback in She-Hulk, but he had him team up with the cast of US1! In outer space! I… I think I may have just spoiled a future installment of “I Love Ya But You’re Strange”. (Or suggested one. Either way.)

And the greatest part of it all? Razorback is also a MUTANT, with the super-power of being able to drive any vehicle like an expert. That’s how they get into space in She-Hulk…they hijack a space shuttle, which Buford can totally drive, y’all.

一直以来，开裆裤是低龄儿童的必备服装。开始穿开档裤的年龄一般都是出生后不久，可是停止穿开裆裤的年龄却存在巨大的差异。有些孩子一会走路家长就不给穿开档裤了，取而代之的是训练大小便；而有的孩子四、五岁了还穿开档裤。总的来说，我感觉（仅仅是感觉，没有统计过）一般女孩比男孩停止穿开裆裤的年龄要小，城市里的孩子比农村的孩子停止穿开裆裤的年龄要小。印象中开裆裤给孩子的父母和爷爷奶奶带来的总是方便，要说有什么不好的地方，一般也就是年龄大一点不太雅观之类的。可是较少有人意识到开裆裤给孩子带来的潜在危险。一般说来，裆部也算是人的薄弱和重要部位，理应受到一定的安全注意。有些家长做的比较好，比如不让穿开裆裤的孩子坐地上以避免污染“裆部”、每天给孩子洗洗“裆部”以保持清洁等&middot,海神礼包,ANXDJX.NET/;····。可就是这样，临床工作中还是能见到一些和穿开裆裤有关的疾病，比如会阴部感染、会阴部外伤等等。临床上常见的是会阴部的感染，虽然不能说都和开档裤有关，但至少有一部分可能是有关的；还有就是蛲虫感染，这是比较明确的和穿开裆裤有较大关系的疾病；另外还有外伤，我见过穿开裆裤造成的生殖器的严重冻伤，也见过不少的开放外伤病例。我个人认为，孩子2岁以上就要尽量不要穿开裆裤了，即使家长非要给孩子穿，也要尽量的注意避免由于开裆裤给孩子带来的潜在危险。我最近就遇到了一个这样的病例，孩子大约3岁了，穿开裆裤，一天出门玩，不慎向后坐倒，然后就是嚎啕大哭。家长赶忙过去查看，结果发现孩子一侧阴囊裂了个大口子。原来孩子坐倒处正好有一个树枝，就是它把孩子毫无保护的阴囊刺出了个大伤口。后来辗转来到我们医院。检查发现右侧阴囊皮肤不规则撕裂伤，阴囊肉膜外露。幸运的是睾丸、阴茎、尿道都没有受伤。手术比较简单，就是清创缝合，恢复的很好。右侧阴囊皮肤不规则撕裂伤，睾丸肉膜外露。幸运的是睾丸、阴茎、尿道都没有受伤。清创缝合后

Why do you think Sha Shan being part of a cult is so dumb. Not disagreeing with you necessarily, just curious about your logic. I mean it is ridiculously coincidental but with all the weird coincidences inherent to Spider-Man comics it seems like a relatively minor offender. For example Peter Parker’s classmate just happens to be te son of his archenemy? And how many villains have turned out to be Peter’s coworkers or real life acquaintances?

I think it would have been cool if Man Beast took off his mask and turned out to be Adolf Hitler. Like a curveball that throws in an extra twist by turning out to be the easy expected solution after all.

Man Beast tears off his mask to reveal that he is actually… The Tetrarchs of Entropy!!!

Man-Beast should have removed his mask to reveal…. Flash Thompson!

Under the mask, Man-Beast shoud have been a coyote — or maybe a sheepdog… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EEORunLi78&feature=player_embedded#! (start at 5:00)

Man-Beast rips away his face to reveal that he is Doctor Bong!!!!

in a rare twist man beast removes his mask and reveals he is actully master mind from the x-men only to then once again remove another mask and reveal its been an early version of the hobgoblin.

plus kind of expected razor back to windup say ten four good buddy for with his ride he seemed to have the ole trucker thing going

I have loved Razorback ever since I read Adam-Troy Castro’s “The Gathering of the Sinister Six.” (If you haven’t read Castro’s Spidey novels, by the way, you’re missing out on some damn good stuff.) In fact, Razorback was my short-lived Epic pitch back in 2002. I never found an artist before the line was abruptly flushed away in the wake of Jemas’s fall from grace, but the basic concept would have been a 21st century Smokey and the Bandit, with Razorback hauling cargo that, unbeknownst to him, is wanted by every secret organization on the planet, from SHIELD to AIM to Hydra to ULTIMATUM to Black Air to the Masters of Evil to, if we could get permission, SMERSH and Fearless Leader. It also would have featured the 616 version of Switchback, a character from Warren Ellis’s Age of Apocalypse issues of Excalibur.

I’ve never forgiven Marvel for de-powering him in the Decimation.

Man Beast removes his mask to reveal… Richard Nixon!

Man-beast rips off his mask to be none other than …. THE GIBBON!!!
but during the fight Spidey grabs the Gibbon’s face and it is another mask and The true villian is the KANGAROO!!
The Kangaroo takes off his mask and he is none other than IRVING FURBUSH!!!
Then he takes off his mask and It is revealed that it is not Irving Furbush but he is actually a Broom.

Laugh if you want, but personally, I think having “the mutant ability to drive any vehicle” would be pretty awesome!

Not kidding, I JUST read the Razorback story from Sensational She-Hulk about six hours before this column went up.

Also, the Man-Beast is clearly Fin Fang Foom, who later pulls off THAT disguise to reveal he’s Jormungandr, and then he eats Razorback who breaks out through his teeth… I’ve been reading way too much 80s Marvel lately.

How is it that nobody’s said anything about “Brother Power?” This was several years after Joe Simon’s infamous Geek.

Let’s think the way Marvel did at the time. Man Beast last appeared as the bad guy in Warlock before Starlin took over, so he HAS to be The Magus! Yep, Warlock’s sacrifice in issue 12 (and Two in One annual 2) didn’t change anything, since he didn’t stay dead…..

What if Spidey pulled off HIS mask to reveal he’s Skull the Slayer!

Everybody who keeps mentioning the Hobgoblin? Way too early for that. Razorback debuted something five years before the first Hobgoblin. Just saying.

@mdk: A mutant driving ability can assure you work in this difficult economy. Need a trucker, a bus driver, a guy to drive a woman tied up in the back of a sedan? Razorback’s your guy. I wonder if he gets a special “Class R” driver’s license.

There was a bit in the Ren & Stimpy comic where Ren & Stimpy on one side, and their enemies, on another, keep doing pull-the-face-off revelations until the bad guys pull their skins off their skulls and say, “Huh. I guess we really were those last guys.”

I had this storyline, too. I bet I read them 50 times. And I was incredibly happy when Razorback showed up in She-Hulk.

Man-beast pulls off his mask to reveal his is actually… Man-beast!! And like a Russian nesting doll, he’s actually wearing about thirty masks because he has a really tiny head.

there has to be a way to incluse the Dennis Hopper movie Space Truckers in here…..
http://youtu.be/2UqSsvCynYc

Man-Beast was meant to be Daredevil, but readers worked it out, so when he tears off his mask he’s actually Echo.

Man-beast pulls of his mask and reveals he is actually Bill Mantlo

Man-Beast pulls off his mask to reveal a chimpanzee face. That mask is ripped off to reveal the face of Number 6.

Either the Rocket Racer or Big Wheel.

Hmm, Google Translate says that Chinese post begins:
“Has been pants is essential clothing for young children. Age age began to wear open file pants are generally born shortly after, but stop wearing pants but there is a huge difference.”

Anyway, he rips off his mask to reveal….Ultron! It makes no sense other than Ultron could easily fit a hood over a mask on his head.

Didn’t Chris Claremont give Razorback a cameo somewhere? I also can’t remember how Man-Beast got from Counter-Earth to the real one.

@Mike Blake: he took the place of one of their astronauts and somehow directed the rocket.

Not a very reasonable or believable story, but that was what he told Spidey, Flash and Razorback in #15.

Man-Beast reveals himself to be… Captain Atom! Wait, no, someone else.

I can think of another reason for it to be Ultron, if you remember that Masters of Evil story in the Avengers (the first post-Zemo MoE).

First their leader, the Crimson Cowl, rips off his hood to reveal…Jarvis the Butler!

But later on he pulls off his cowl to reveal…it’s really Ultron!

Man-Beast pulls off his mask to reveal… Aunt May!

Man Beast rips his mask off to reveal Paris from Mission:Impossible.
Or he rips his mask off to reveal Tom Cruise from the Mission:Impossible movies after which he gets shot by the Punisher who rips his mask off to reveal Jim Phelps from the M:I tv series who rips his mask off to reveal Katie Holmes who rips her mask off to reveal Leslie Nielsen as Dr Rumack from Airplane eho says “I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley” who then……..
Or he rips his mak off to.reveal Jimmie Waker from Good Times! Dyno-Mite!

@ The Mutt – “Richard Nixon”! Bwahahaha! Would Peter then have forsaken his Spidey persona and called himself Nomad?!

What I would like to know is – Who would win a coolness-duel between Fancy Dan and Razorback? Or in a fight between Razorback and the giant Psycho-Pig from the horror mpvie of the same name? !

That should be “mask off” not “mak off”. The Love Boat it’s exciting and new…

What I would like to know is – Who would win a coolness-duel between Fancy Dan and Razorback?

Fancy Dan, of course. He’s Fancy freakin’ Dan!!!

“He’s Fancy Freakin’ Dan…”, I can’t argue with that, Brian!

@mdk
Yeah, mutant ability to drive any vehicle would be a nice ability to have in the real world, it would beat shooting beams out of your eyes any day.

杜甫，字子美，唐代诗人。杜甫的诗内容广阔深刻，感情真挚浓郁，集古典诗歌之大成，给后世以广泛的影响，被后人尊为诗圣。　　关于诗圣杜甫的死因，史家说是“大啖牛炙白酒而卒”。郭沫若据此认为杜甫是因“天热肉腐”，食物中毒致死（见《李白与杜甫》）。而我们认为杜甫之死与糖尿病有密切关系，这从杜甫的诗句中可以找到证据。　　糖尿病在中国古代叫做“消渴”。诗圣至少在两首诗中显露自己患有消渴。其一是《客堂》：“栖泊云安县，中消内相毒”；其二为《同元使君春陵行》：“我多长卿病，日久思朝廷。肺枯渴太甚，漂泊公孙城”。这里提到的“长卿病”是什么呢？其实就是消渴。大家知道司马相如（字长卿）与卓文君的爱情故事，司马相如是汉代著名文人，只因他嗜酒如命，饮食不节，患有消渴。因而古代诗文中常用”长卿病“指代消渴。司马相如是四川成都人，由于他曾在四川临邛做过官，故又有人把此病称做”临邛渴”。例如诗人孪商隐患有糖尿病，他在诗中就有：“嗟子久抱临邛渴，便欲因君问钓矶”之句。　　糖尿病的病因复杂，但一般认为与过分忧劳、饮食不当及饮酒有密切关系。这也与杜有的生活经历颇为相符。　　杜甫曾困守长安十年，“朝叩富儿门，暮随肥马尘。残杯与冷炙，到处潜悲辛”。说明其生计艰难，到处碰壁，报国有心，请缨无门。“安史之乱”时，杜甫面对山河破碎的八年战祸，加之妻离子散，官场受排挤。家事国事天下事，像一座座大山，压在他的心上，使他焦虑无穷，夜不能寐，这使病情加重。糖尿病患者因营养不能有效吸收，易导致消瘦，面对自己骨瘦如柴的躯体，他曾自嘲是：”心微傍鱼鸟，肉瘦怯豺狼”。嗜酒更易导致糖尿病加重，杜甫这方面恰恰很不注意。别人宴请，他总是欣然从命，自己还常“借酒、乞酒、赊酒”，甚至不惜竭囊而沽，处处欠下“酒债”。　　糖尿病虽无法治愈，但限食、戒酒无疑是缓解症状的正确方法。杜甫本人不知酒的危害，其结局是狂饮伤身，直到暮年自觉不行了，才“潦倒新停浊酒杯”，但病情已经不可逆转了。　　杜甫不节食不说，还对自己吃得多而欣喜，“加餐可扶老，仓廪慰飘蓬”。当他把亲自栽种收获的稻米做成米饭时，顿觉胃口甚佳，不惜“多病久加饭，衰容新授衣”。这样可能使刚刚稳定一点的血糖又突然上升。　　大吃蔗糖无疑是对糖尿病火上浇油，但杜甫却喜欢把甘蔗汁当作饮料。“茗饮蔗浆携所有，瓷璎（小口大肚的瓶子）无谢玉为缸”。出游时，为解口渴，杜甫竟带着大瓶大瓶的甘蔗汁不时饮用。这足以使现代医生们大惊失色，大呼不可。　　久患糖尿病者会出现体质衰弱、两腿乏力、眼花目暗以及皮肤瘙痒等症状，这些在杜甫的诗歌中都反映出来了。“力稀经树歇，老困拨书眠”，说明他常感腿脚无力，走路已离不开藜杖支撑，并且精力明显不济；“春水船如天上坐，老年花似雾中看”，暗示血糖很高，可能已出现眼底病变；“金篦空刮眼，镜象未离铨”，似乎是因白内障做过治疗，但效果并不好；“令儿快搔背，脱我头上簪”，糖尿病严重时会出现皮肤奇痒难禁，可是一旦抓破皮肤，高血糖会使伤口难以愈合。　　杜甫晚年已表现出明显的肝肾亏损，面对耳聋、齿落、眼花、乏力、头痛、失眠以及肺部疾病等，他的家人忧心忡忡，“老妻忧坐痹，幼女问头风”，但都不知病根何在。<DIV class=hzh_botleft 　　由于长期饮食不节，久病体虚，又未得到药物治疗，加之精神郁郁，当杜甫到了长沙往岳阳途中已是“伏枕书怀”，行动艰难，甚至出现了昏迷。现在推测这与糖尿病酮痹有关。尽管史书中只说杜甫之死是因为吃了烤牛肉和饮酒所致。但笔者认为,海神,jsysc/，糖尿病并发的酮症酸中毒或心、脑血管病急性发作，才是杜甫死亡的真正原因。　　编者按：2型糖尿病的危害严重，而且历史久远。如蒲教授所分析的那样，唐代大诗人杜甫在苦难的生活和对医学知识的缺乏中患病并日益加重，不知道应该怎样应对糖尿病，在对疾病的无可奈何之中，用酒精来缓解内心的痛苦，用糖浆和食物填饱病态的食欲，却日益消瘦，形同枯搞，在痛苦中思考和写作，最后死于糖尿病并发症，终年58岁。

Man-Beast, of course, is Ben Reilly.

Man-BEast removes his mask to reveal… just some random guy named Bob Hendersen. But then Bob puts on a hood and becomes the new Hate-Monger!

Following Benn’s allusion (the finale of “The Prisoner”) Man-Beast is Peter Parker. Loved these comics actually. Reminds me of Butcher Baker Righteous Maker too

Man-Beast rips off his mask to reveal he’s…actually the Hate-Monger all along!
And Razorback rips off his mask to reveal he’s…Man-Beast!
Spidey rip off HIS mask to reveal he’s…Flash Thompson!

And “Flash” rips off HIS mask to reveal he’s…The HAT-monger, Sartorial Sultan of Cerebral Excellence, maker and blocker of fine hats, wigs and masks, there to stop the Hate-Monger from sullying the good name of H-based-”mongers” everywhere!

If I remember correctly, the cult is a meant to be parody of The Unification Church, this being around the time the church was under investigation in the US.

All the jokes remind me of GK Chesteron’s “The Man Who Was Thursday” in which the inner circle of a revolutionary society all turn out to be government agents infiltrating it.
I don’t see the problem with Sha-Shan either. It wasn’t like she was part of the cult all along–she jointed it after she and Flash met as an agent of her father (who’s some kind of high-powered Eastern mystic).
I do think “10-7′d Spiderman permanently is an odd phrase” –who the heck says “I’m going to kill you permanently?” Okay, that threat actually makes sense in the MU or DCU, but still.

Apparently Man Beast pulls this move a lot http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bBK-EaujZtQ/UGjAygZc4AI/AAAAAAAAAeo/slHQm6bU5T8/s1600/man+beast.jpg

I didn’t think of Brother Power the Geek, but I am amused to see a Flash and a Kobra running around Marvel’s NYC.

He rips off his mask and reveals himself as Martin Landau. (yes, I was alive in the 60′s).

The Man-Beast pretends to be someone else quite a lot.

On Counter-Earth he first pretended to be the Prophet (as T. pointed out) and then he possessed “US President Rex Carpenter” and played Pontius Pilate to Adam Warlock’s Counter-Earth Jesus.

Then came this “Hate-Monger” story.

In “Warlock and the Infinity Watch” he was first “Omega” and captured the Watch. Then later he pretended to be “US Senator Kyle Munson” and had the UN invade Monster Island.

He might have done this to Thor as well. It’s kind of his thing.

Man-Beast pulls off his other mask to reveal — Fang from the Shi’ar Imperial Guard (who looks almost exactly the same but is FROM SPACE!!!)!

“I’ve never forgiven Marvel for de-powering him in the Decimation.”

Well… it takes all kinds, I guess.

Have a good day.

He pulls off the mask to reveal he’s Hitler.

Under the mask he is actually an LMD of Gwen Stacy’s clone with the mind of Doc Ock and a symbiote

This is even funnier when you imagine Razorback’s voice as Jim Stafford’s (MST3K fans will understand).

@MDK Good point, just like Cypher his powers might not have been taken to their full potential.

This was in the ‘Spider-Man is a bit of a weak idiot’ era. His spider-sense tells him to punch Razorback when Razorback wasn’t threatening but couldn’t warn him that the costume was electrified? The real suspension of disbelief required in the 70s must have been why the heck Spider-Man wasn’t killed every other issue.

He pulls off the mask to reveal he’s Hitler.

I thought the Hate-Monger was a reincarnated (or cloned?) Hitler? So it would be Hitler pretending to be Man-Beast pretending to be Hitler as Hate-Monger?

My brain just exploded.

The original Hate-Monger and the most recent (I think) incarnation were Hitler in a cloned body (courtesy of Arnim Zola) In between Man-Beast, Arisen Turk (I think) and then an android run by Psycho-Man (but without the hood and the costume).

…pulls off his mask as the clone (because you have to have clones) of Razorback!!! His new arch nemesis. (Or Bobby Petrino).

I like the caption that says “name his first and last appearance.” Back then there were few enough comics that you might have a shot at doing it. I would remember where characters last appeared better than the editors sometimes. Now I have no clue what the characters were doing before they’re written again.

Being an Arkansas native, I thought having our own superhero was pretty cool, even if he didn’t talk like a real Arkie (of course, Texarkana is half-in, half-out of the state). WOO, PIG! SOOIE!
