I've always thought it was a really odd choice. Not to mention one that was asking for a trademark infringement suit.

They could claim it's parody and probably got away with it. Plus one large corporation usually doesn't sue another if they have the option of a peaceful solution.
 
I imagine it was originally riffing off the Greek word for "lizard", as seen in the word "dinosaur" and approximately 99% of specific species. That it happens to be the name of a Middle-Earth villain was probably a coincidence.

Amusingly, one of Tolkien's published letters was a response to a well-meaning reader who was asking if Middle-Earth's Sauron was named with the Greek word in mind. You can tell that Tolkien is barely managing to keep himself polite. :gunslinger:

Given his crazy storylines, I wish they'd do one where he was fighting against a C&D
 
I think Spider-man told him he could use his genius to cure cancer, and he said he didn't want to cure cancer he wanted to turn people into dinosaurs (which is a really big motive change from his origin.) He was just fine with mind-controlled mammals and draining life energy to feed on before--not even killing them until he found if he ate mutant energy he turned into a giant pterodactyl man of EEEVIIL, because Lykos himself tried to do a good many times (and he did as Sauron team up with Stegron once, but they ended up fighting one another, apparently. Link for some strange weirdness here: https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Karl_Lykos_(Earth-616)

That panel is literally on the last page...
 
If memory serves, back in the 70s there was a story where they fought because NYC wasn’t big enough fir two dinosaur-themed villains.
If that's not the perfect reason for a Dino battle, I don't know what is.
 
Doctor Dinosaur is truly the greatest nemesis. Who else would become a cordon bleu chef just to bait a trap with a 3-course meal of mammal food?
Well, Microchip and Punisher once were wedding chefs and server, respectively to get at a target.

Scandalously, Microchip used imitation crab meat.

i miss ‘90s Punisher stories.
 
Hehe, I remember that panel. It made quite an impression of me as a kid, even though it does do much and remained a pretty obscure villain. As such I found his appearances in the MCU oddly satisfying.
 
I never cared for Nanny as a character. But having her as a foil for Mr. Sinister? Oh fuck yeah.

This was a wasted opportunity for Sinister to come back with “Did the child-stealing psycho who trained a kid she stole to murder parents so technically she was taking in orphans judge my morality?” followed by them fighting while the Avengers watched.
