i noted that you mentioned that you really liked a villain named Khatz. is that the guy from courage the cowardly dog?

Greetings and thanks for asking!

Aw, shucks! I thought I had fixed my typo. I even checked the database to see if I had spelled their name correctly, it turns out I just thought I fixed it haha. That’s on me, I’m so sorry.

I meant “Khats”, a cat-like demon that appears in v2 and Strange Tales v2. He nearly defeated Stephen with words, pretty similar to Ebony Maw.

But yeah! I also know Katz from Courage the cowardly dog! It’s one of my favorite cartoons from my childhood, and if I’m not mistaken, he also spreads chaos through words, right? Another great villain! Honestly, that tv show is so good and so mature for children. Thank you for addressing it!

And sorry again for my typo!

I’m not gonna even make a list of wasted potential in Infinity Wars/Endgame, but if there’s a thing I’ll never forgive about those movies is the lack of dynamics between Ebony Maw and Stephen.

During Hickman’s Infinity, Maw used Stephen emotionally instead of causing him physical torture, which, in my opinion, is so much better when it comes to narrative resources. Maw’s powers are based on words, and he knows Stephen’s deepest fears and insecurities. That’s how he manages to twist his mind and bend him to do Maw’s will. He really reminds me of Khats, another villain that I simply adore.

Listen. What makes him my favorite member of the Black Order is his vile strategy based on words. He’s such a good villain, he even made the whole Black Order think he betrayed them in Landy’s run. It was all part of his plan, of course. I mean, seriously, that’s Loki level of potential we’re talking about.

But, well, that’s on me. At this point, I shouldn’t expect deep villains in the MCU (not saying they don’t exist, although they’re pretty rare).

That said... Nightmare, please... Be this trope of villain... Please... I cannot bear another hallow villain... You’re my favorite in Doctor Strange’s lore...

Pardon me but what issue is that black furry monster with all the teeth tormenting Stephen from?

Oh, he’s called Khats. He’s from a race of cat-like demons that mostly feed upon emotions. He nearly defeated Stephen with mere words, but Stephen does know his limitations as a human being and overcame the demon by admitting his flaws. You can check this story in Dr Strange - Master of the Mystic Arts #77 (1986). He appears in other issues, but I think this is the most iconic.
