Swarm is undoubtedly THE greatest villain. I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking “didn’t he foolishly try to attack the X-Men and get pounded by their sentient plot of land?” If that’s what you’re thinking, then YOU are the fool. As the last panel on the page clearly demonstrates, Swarm tricked those foolish X-Men with promises of all the honey in the world! One can only presume that off-panel Swarm only dished out the sweet nectar of PAIN in a scene too gruesome to show explicitly.

BEES!! BEES!! Your weapons are useless against them!!
Well, except for grass.
Only a few. But all have been issued Lugers.
This page could have only been better if one of the mutants being attacked by the Nazi bees had said “Ow! OW! They’re defending themselves somehow!”
So do all the bees have little moustaches?
That’s got to be the worst kind of bee. A Nazi bee.
It’s hilarious how the dialogue implies that the bees themselves are Nazis.
He’s so unique. No one else uses Nazi bees. Every other villain involved in weaponized bees just uses the boring non-Nazi species.
I wish all villains had motivations as compelling as “reveal to me your secrets!”
Punish the Grass! The insolent, foolish GRASS!!
