Top 10 Pokémon Heroes and Villains

1 Punishu: (Punisher + Pikachu) Having witnessed the slaying of his family during a botched mob hit, Punishu was transformed into a living tool of revenge, casting a dark shadow of unforgiving retribution over a fearful underworld. Even the most hardened thugs and vicious skels feel their courage melt into their shoes when Punishu's battle cry of "Pika pika!" rings in the air. "He can't be real!" they cry as they run from a hail of bullets and Punishu's whirlwind of two-fisted blows. Oh, he's real all right, you pathetic, weak-willed dill-weeds---as real as the pee running down your lily-livered leg.

2 Spider-Meowth: (Spider-Man + Meowth) Bitten by a radioactive arachnid, Spider-Meowth soon learned he had the strength of a dozen Pokemon, could cling to walls and even spin webs--any size! Spider-Meowth quickly did what anyone in his position would do, and cashed in on his abnormality by appearing on "Montel Williams." But when he arrived home that night, he found his uncle slain by Montel Williams himself! With great power comes great responsibility--a bitter lesson Spider-Meowth will never forget.

3 Wolvernine: (Wolverine + Arcanine) Wolvernine is the best there is at what he does--and what he does isn't very nice. He takes great pleasure in turning his opponents into steaming piles of wet hamburger with the aid of his unbreakable adamantium-laced claws. His only memories are of a top-secret government laboratory located in the wilds of Canada which turned him into the ice-cold killing machine he is today. He's a half-man, half-bestial creature with no remorse whatsoever. He konws absolutely no fear. And if you pet him, he'll wag his furry tail.

4 Bulba Fett: (Boba Fett + Bulbasaur) Bulba Fet was more than just cool-looking Mandoloriam armor--he was also the most feared bounty hunter in all the Imperial Empire. He also collected cold, hard scratch on some of the most notorious bounties in the sector, securing prisoners for Darth Vadoer and the legendary crime lord, Jabba the Hutt. But Bulba's glory came to an abrupt end in the belly of the Sarlacc pit. When he attempted to fly out with his trusty rocket pack, Bulba discovered toy executives had replaced it with a plastic duplicate, glued in place! Oops!

5 Iron Mankey: (Iron Man + Mankey) Sure, Iron Mankey's armor is so advanced that you could stick just about anyone in there and they'd be a formidable man-o-war (even that wacky Urkell guy). But Iron Mankey has one advantage others don't: his prehensile tail! With an added appendage, Iron Mankey has even keener control over his armor's weaponry. But mostly he just uses his tail to snag another Meister Brau out of the cooler.

6 Alashazam: (Shazam + Alakazam) Chosen by the ancient Greek gods to be a defender of the Earth, young Alashazam was granted superhuman strength, flight and a knack for card tricks, all of which he uses to protect mankind from otherworldly threats. Fortunately, he can assume his superheroic identity in flash during emergencies by uttering a single word-- "Alsashazam!" Unfortunately, that's the only word he knows.

7 Cobra Commander: (Cobra Commander + Charmander) Cobra--a vast international organization hellbent on ruling the world through violence, namely by undermining truth, justice and the American way. Their titular head? The enigmantic Cobra Charmander, a wanted filon known by security agencies primarily for his cute, squeaky voice. Cobra Charmander hides his visage behind a mask, fearing that no one would take a fuzzy orange dictator seriously. But nonetheless, crossing him means orange death!

8 Venom-Moth: (Venom + Venomoth) After being spurned by Spider-Meowth, the mysterious alien symbiote costume needed a new host--one that it found in the unlikeliest of places. Emerging from the dark recesses of Spider-Meowth's closet came Venom-moth, a deadly creature whose hunger for human brains is surpassed only by a taste for gaudy '70s leisure suits! Beware his acid drool!

9 Kraven the Haunter: (Kraven the Hunter + Haunter) Renowed as the greatest big game hunter on the planet, Kraven eventually sought the greatest of prizes: the pelt of Spider-Meowth. While pursuing his enemy, Kraven made a fatal error, meeting his untimely demise in a meat grinder, but becoming a tasty hamburger. After wolfing down the Kraven-burger, Spider-Meowth produced an ominous gas cloud--Kraven was reborn, now a ghostly menace that haunts his every waking moment with an ungodly stench!

10 Teenage Mutant Ninja Squirtle: (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles + Squirtle) Squirtle was content working his afterschool job taking out garbage at the local McDonald's until one fateful night, when he enountered a glowing green sludge seeping from the dumpster. Mistaking it for special sauce, he consumed it, unaware that it would transform him into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Squirtle! Now unable to control the growing ooze within him, he squirtle it from his pores to combat evil!

MORT OF THE MONTH Marrowak: (Marrow + Marowak) Marrowak was once a member of the Morlocks, a group of society's castoffs living in the grimy sewers of Pallet Town. Now, if you've ever been to Pallet Town, you'd know they're awfully irresponsible about what they flush down the toilet--the sewers are filled with everything from alligators to radioactive isotopes. As a result, not only did Marrowak have to grow up in a stinkin' sewer, she also has bones growing out of her forehead, torso and other, nastier places! Not only does she have to sleep standing up, she's constantly chased by ravenous cucarachas. But Marrowak was able to overcome her obstacles and join other castoffs called the X-Men. But now the X-Men have problems: They want to ralf up their bologna sandwiches every time they look at her.
