Fantastic Four #153 Fantastic Four #153

Excerpt from the Greater Guide to Galactic Travel, banned in thirty-six separate time continuums and declared contraband by the Time Variance Authority:

Visit the glorious planet Machus during the reign of the great Mahkizmo! Visit the palace court, where you will be forced to wear a collar and dine on a fine meal of raw beef. For the men, we have a wonderful sporting event where you are able to fight for your very life against Mahkizmo's fiercest warriors! The women are allowed a private tour of Mahkizmo's personal chambers (although this has proven to be optional with the proper resistance). Witness his efficient method of government as taxes are brutally beaten out of lesser men and women. Have a problem with a local merchant? Forget the Better Business Bureau, grab an ax and beat the daylights out of the fool. If you prove to be stronger than he, what was his is yours by right anyway. In fact, this vacation can turn into your own opportunity for a glorious rule over the entire planet as you are probably going to have to defeat everyone on it in order to leave alive anyway.

Feeble Four Nominee: Mahkizmo

Okay, okay, I know everyone knows this Mahkizmo guy is lame. John Byrne actually resurrected him during his second run of She-Hulk just to show how lame he was. Mahkizmo, the Nuclear Man. The point to him is he generally doesn't like girls. They had some trouble over in Alpha Flight with Northstar over that sort of thing, too.

Mahkizmo is big, hairy, and stupid. He comes from the male dominated world of Machus, where they basically beat the women into submission. (Fear not, gentle politcally correct reader, for Machus existed side by side with the planet Femizona, wherein the dominant females had beat the men into submission. Who says this isn't the Marvel Age of Equal Opportunity?) For all his bluster, a punch by this guy really hurt, although the Fantastic Four were mostly kept at bay by a will draining device that kept them from fighting him during this encounter. The FF and Thundra managed to beat him, of course, but in the process Thundra's world merged with that of Machus. Tremble before the Freudian implications, true believers.
