I haven't carefully searched the 62 comments, but I believe we are shy one important sports supervillian. The comic book like appearance of this sporting figure makes me wonder if perhaps he was too obvious, but his image is a standing symbol of evil, greed, and corruption. Surprizingly, or perhaps not, he has somehow evaded prosecution with the exception of one four year stint in the penitentiary for stomping to death and employee who owed him a whopping $600. I've seen two sporting events he's been present at during the last year and the cameras did everything they could to avoid showing his image on the screen. Every time he entered the frame the shot cut to a new angle because fans of the sport are so repulsed by his mug. Whom do I speak of.....
Do you recognize his mugshot for second degree murder? No, well he is none other than.......
That's right, Don King. King also promoted one of the final fights of Ali's career against Larry Holmes. It was revealed after the fight that Ali had been examined at the Mayo Clinic, and the results were shocking. He had admitted to tingling in his hands and slurring of his speech. The exam revealed he actually had a hole in the membrane of his brain. However, Don King knowingly withheld this report, and allowed Ali to be pummeled in order to guarantee a King payday. This guy is evil and looks like a supervillian - he must have a important seat in the Sports Legion of Doom.

stomping to death?!? holy fuck. this is the guy running around on my TV when i'm playing Grand theft auto.
Bravo muumuuman. I'm glad you are on the team. Surely the Detroit Lions front office could benefit from such a clever lad. Anyone watch the fudgefest that was the Lions losing to the Packers? Me neither.
Withholding the name until part way down (rhyming Homer with homer)? Brilliant!
I was getting a little preachy with my new bad guy every day but I agree whole-hog that King needs to be there.
Thanks for the kudos - and one more thing - can you imagine being the relative of the guy King stomped to death?
"Yeah, and my uncle died when I was a kid."
"Oh that's horrible, how did he die?"
"He was trampled to death."
"Oh, was he on Safari? Or was he an elephant trainer or something?"
"No, Don King trampled him over $600 dollars..."
"Oh, that's horrible. This Don King must be in jail."
"No, he was convicted of murder and given a life sentence, but during an ex parte meeting between the judge and Kings attorney, the sentence was reduced to manslaughter, he served four years..."
