Here comes part 13 of the KCW list. Let's hope that THIS 13 ends up being a lucky number, shall we?Ultraman Belial: Richard Epcar (Myotismon from "Digimon Adventures 1 & 2") - This one was actually alot harder to decide than i imagined, for some reason. No matter how hard i thought, i couldn't think of anyone who could best portray the sadistic, destructive, sociopathic, but also cunning, diabolical, and boastful Ultraman Belial. Until finally, i thought of someone who i felt would be perfect as a representation: Richard Epcar. Probably known well today for his roles as Lord Raiden, and as the new staple voice for Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. But for me, and i'm sure alot of people, he is well known for his role as the third antagonist of Digimon Adventure 01, Myotismon. And let's just say he's every bit as maniacal, and devious as Belial is. Like belial, Myotismon views himself with great power, and demands respect from all around him. He is a cruel, uncaring sadist who makes everyone suffer, often before he ends their lives. He is quite cunning, and manipulative, as he's the one who set up the events of Adventure 02 from behind the scenes. He enslaves others, murders innocents, and destroys everyone's lives for his own benefit.....or even amusement. All with a devious smile, and a sadistic laugh. An epitome of classic, yet effective villainy. And Belial is also quite similar in such regards. Neither one ever strike me as the type who truly serves another, and WILL work on a way to rise on top of the pinnacle of power. And as with the others beforehand, Richard Epcar brought out quite the wonderfully evil performance as the undead vampire lord. And i have no doubt he'd do the same for the evil Ultra Warrior.
Legion: Kathleen Barr (Roodaka from "Bionicle: Web of Shadows") - I almost feel like i ended up making Legion a wasted potential. But to be frank, there really isn't anything else i could do with her - outside of featuring her in backstory episodes concerning the Shadow of Evil's rise to power. But anyway, that's not what we're here for. We're here to discuss why Kathleen Barr would make an excellent candidate for voicing the Queen of the Symbiotic Legion. Simple: because of her stellar role as the Viscorak queen, Roodaka. A terrifying seductress who held every under her thumb without some even realizing it. She is a powerful vicious, evil, ruthless tyrant whose low, hissing voice instills fear, and inspires respect, authority and even temptation. Not to mention her level of manipulation is on parr with even Makuta Teridax: turning Vakama over to her side, constantly manipulating the placebo king Siddorak throughout the events of the story, and tricking the Toa Metru into freeing Makuta himself from his prison. While she isn't quite as intelligently cunning, Legion does have many of the other qualities down. A vile, planet-slaying queen who holds no regard for the lives of others around her, and proving to be a powerhouse in the process. Kathleen Barr knows how to use a sinister performance to make her most villainous roles truly perfect. And odds are, it would as well for our dear Queen, Legion, too.
Tyrant: Lance Henrikson (Grim Reaper from "Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes") - Avengers EMH certainly had alot going for it, didn't it? Great characters, a solid story, superb acting, and a basic revival of the animated superhero genre. One of my favorite aspects of the show was its villains. Among them was the best interpretation of Grim Reaper i have ever seen. All courtesy of Lance Henrikson who some will know from the Alien movies. But here, he's played as a truly sinister villain. Though this wasn't his first time playing as a blade-handed supervillain who acts as a mercenary. But by the time he got to THIS role, he'd perfected the oily, cold, deathly voice befitting of an assassin who works for an organization which is the censored version of the Nazi's. Someone who enjoys cutting down anyone who gets in his way, and will remain reserved as he takes pleasure in it. The same goes for my series version of the Ultra-kaiju, Tyrant. Here, he's a mercenary and/or bounty hunter whose specialty is hunting down kaiju, and taking only the best parts of them to upgrade himself. Though for him it's only business, he takes alot of enjoyment from the process of doing it. He's cold, vile, sadistic, brutal, and is a formidable adversary to handle. Lance Henrikson already made it work twice: so third time's definitely the charm.
Geronimon: Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (Shang Tsung from "Mortal Kombat" the movie.) - I don't think there's any doubt in my mind that the best representation of the MK villain, Shang Tsung, was from the motion picture, portrayed by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. On screen, he was able to capture all of the elements which makes Shang Tsung such a vile, treacherous demon who uses others for his own benefit, and enslaves the literal souls of his victims to use as an energy source, or to use as his weapons. In the youtube series, Godzilla and his Amazing Friends, Geronimon was exactly the same. In fact, i've read it said that Geronimon was depicted AS the kaiju equivalent of Shang Tsung. And with all of his actions in the series, it's easy to see how that could be. And that's why i decided to have him included in my series as the same thing. CHT would be what he would sound like in animated form. And if anyone has any objections...........well, let's hope you enjoyed having a soul for as long as you did - odds are you'll never see it again after this.XD

Likewise. And the kind of villainy he portrayed seemed to remind me of how Belial himself works. I might not have seen ALL of his episodes, but i do know Belial has cemented himself as a main villain of the series since he debuted.
