It's time to remember the lamest group of villain ever:
Seriously.
Electro apparently decided that since the Sinister Six worked so well, he should try to form a similar group of foes to take out Daredevil (because Spider-Man was too tough for poor Max Dillon).
And oh, what a collection of lame-os this was.
They started by having their meeting outside--in an alley--where Daredevil could just swing by and overhear their plans (and no, they're not deliberately trying to let hornhead eavesdrop as a trap...they're just stupid):
The Matador?? Snort.
I don't think that Electro understands what "invincible" means...
Meanwhile...
OK, I guess Gladiator can be kinda tough.
But wait--there's more!!
Oh, yes...Stilt-Man!! This gets more and more deadly every second!
And the final member of the Emissaries Of Evil?
Holy schneikes! Electro, Gladiator, Matador (snort), Stilt-Man (chortle) and Leap-Frog (guffaw) are "five of the mightiest emissaries of evil ever assembled?" It took you months to put together this collection of losers, Max?!?
Not to worry--Daredevil took them out pretty easily:
Unlike the Sinister Six, the Emissaries Of Evil Must have realized how lame they were, because they never got together again (although a couple of other evil groups adopted the name over the years).
Mark Waid, if you don't bring these guys back before you end your run, I just might cry...
Or maybe Nick Spencer could do a Superior Foes Of Daredevil series. That would be cool...

Yes, they are pathetic...and yet...and yet.
I love ridiculous villains, I really do. Stilt-Man holds a certain place in my heart.
I think a good general rule when recruiting super-villains should be: if you need to fish them out of the river, maybe (just maybe) they're not the most competent person to join your team.
(Of course, Stilt-Man once went up against Thor, which is probably more ridiculous than this team could ever be...)
