>> Only a few series have even had the SAME villain for more than one segment recently, which is just plain SAD. <<

It used to be that a great rogues gallery was the sign of a great hero. Now villains are treated like kleenex, take one and pass the box. >_<

Of course, I have a different problem with villain decay, especially in Terramagne. So many of mine wind up sliding toward good! And the real whackjobs tend to get themselves killed.
