Thanos

Thanos is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character initially appeared in Iron Man #55 (February 1973), created by writer-editor Stan Lee, scripter Larry Lieber, and penciller Don Heck.

Thanos first appears in Avengers Annual #7 and became more prominent when he began starring in Silver Surfer vol 3 from 1990 to 1992 as well as several miniseries. 

He was also featured in solo adventures throughout the 1990s until 2003 when he returned as a villain for the Annihilation story arc.

Tinky Winky

Tinky Winky is a purple Teletubby who lives in Teletubbyland with his friends. He is the first of the main four to be introduced and has been on television since 1997. 

Tinky Winky is unique because he does not have an antenna on his head, but instead has a triangle antenna.

While this may seem like it would make him stand out from the other Teletubbies, Tinky Winky actually shares some similarities with them: he likes to eat food, play games and dance around with his friends. 

Mad Madam Mim

Mad Madam Mim is a villain from the movie The Sword in the Stone. She is a witch who uses magic to try to defeat Merlin, but this only causes trouble for herself and others.

Mad Madam Mim is voiced by actress Margaret Hamilton, who also played the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz.

Ursul

Ursula is a sea witch and the main antagonist in Disney's 1989 animated feature film The Little Mermaid. 

She is voiced by Pat Carroll, who also voiced Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty, Elastigirl/Helen Parr in The Incredibles and its sequel, Mother Gothel in Tangled, Granny Relda in Sofia the First and Mrs. Potts in Beauty & the Beast: Enchanted Christmas.

She appears as a large purple octopus-like creature with long tentacles wrapped around her body like hair or clothes; she has a long nose that resembles an elephant's trunk at the bottom of her face (which you can see if you look closely). 

Twilight Sparkle

Twilight Sparkle is a female unicorn pony from the show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. She is one of the main characters in the series and one of Princess Celestia's most promising students. Twilight is also the leader of the Mane Six, as well as their representative to Princess Celestia.

Twilight has purple hair that reaches down past her shoulders, with two strands sticking out on either side above her eyes, along with a purple coat and tail. 

The only exception to this are her muzzle and lower legs which are pink, though this may be due to not being an earth pony like Applejack (who shares these features).

Dizzy Devil 

Dizzy Devil is an orange cartoon character from the cartoon series Tiny Toon Adventures and The Looney Tunes Show. Dizzy Devil is a member of the Flock of Seagulls, a group of misfit birds who live on Wackyland. He is voiced by Jim Cummings.

Bing Bong 

Bing Bong is a character in the 2015 Disney/Pixar film Inside Out. He is Joy's imaginary friend, who is a smiling cloud with eyes and a mouth. 

As an imaginary friend, he has no physical form (although it can be assumed that he does have some kind of body because he used to ride on top of Joy's wagon), but when he was alive as Riley's imaginary friend, Bing Bong had defined arms and legs, his arms being able to stretch out infinitely.

In the film, Bing Bong was voiced by Richard Kind.

Dino

Dino is a funny little purple dinosaur with an adorable pug nose. He's the pet of Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble. 

Dino is a very good pet: he does not bite, he doesn't scratch, and he can be house trained for the most part. Dino loves to play ball with his friends and listen to their problems—he's very supportive!

She's a redhead, with an uncanny resemblance to Velma Dinkley - the only member of the gang who does not have a nickname. Her full name is Daphne Blake and she was born on April 11th, 1966.

Daphne has had several relationships throughout her life, including:

• Fred Jones (husband)
• Shaggy Rogers (ex-boyfriend)

He has since become one of the most popular and recognizable characters from the series. Waluigi is an evil, sneaky, and cunning villain who appears to be Luigi's arch-rival. 

He was created by Shigeru Miyamoto as Wario's partner to counterbalance Wario's pure evil nature with some mischief instead. Waluigi is also a playable character in Super Smash Bros for Wii U & 3DS (2014), marking his first appearance as a main protagonist in a game outside of Mario spinoff titles.

Frieza
