>villain's identity is revealed posthumously
>>154324021random bullshit power that is only used once and could infinitely be used to solve every other problem but never does
>>154324021I hate when the traitor in a group looks obviously evil, because it gives the impression the good guys are either blind or retarded.
>>154324021Has that even happened often enough to be trope? The Hobgoblin mystery was a pretty unique series of behind the scenes debacles where by that issue, Peter David was just trying to make the best out of the hand he'd been dealt. When has this ever happened again with another significant mystery box villain?Some D-tier villains whose real identity never mattered dying and then a Handbook making up real names for them isn't the same and doesn't count.
