Veiled Supervillains

I didn’t realize this until very recently but some of most heinous supervillains from my childhood actually wore burkas. Or more precisely: hijab. So let me present to you…

    Cool.

    Maldivian men who are so vocal about the burka actually should wear them because they speak so passionately about it.

    good observation. but its not super villains, most of the super heroes do cover their face and if observed most of the super heroes have their hair covered and face partially covered, as a mean of protection from enemies.

    In other words, anything Islamic is worthy of ridicule eh? Such open minded creatures we are!

    al,

    What has Islam got to do with burka?

    I think you'll be ridiculed if someone batted an eyelid. Geez!
