VillainsPub

The Villain Pub is a secret establishment run by Emperor Palpatine, where villains hang out and mope about their losses. It first appeared in How Thor The Dark World Should Have Ended. It is a place for villains to relax, drink, and talk with each other. Certain villains serve as staff, while others are common patrons. It was founded by Emperor Palpatine, most likely in 1983 after the release of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. The pub quickly expanded to include many villains. Over time and into the 2010s, the Villain Pub became a popular hangout for villains from film, television, comics, books, etc. However, they had strict rules, including "boss battles only" and "real villains only", the latter caused a number of villainous characters that were either lame, redeemed, or anti-heroic to be excluded.

After the events of 2016's Suicide Squad, Batman ended up finding the pub and proceeded to fight all of the villains inside. Though he beat most of them, he let his guard down around the female villains, allowing the villains to overpower him and try to feed him to Jaws, but he was saved by Dr. Strange. The pub remains in operation, with Batman saying he'll need backup for the "next time".

Later, before the release of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Avengers: Infinity War, the villains throw a party wishing Thanos luck and hosting a dead pool on who they think Thanos will kill. After all of the villains place their bets, Thanos heads off and cryptically bids them farewell, as he knows that his plan will result in around half of them dying.

After Infinity War's release, HISHE did their own version where Thanos was defeated and Thor stole the Infinity Gauntlet from him. However, he accidentally snaps his fingers, resulting in all of the villains in the Pub dying, including Thanos. Before he turns to ash, Palpatine pulls out a communicator and rings for Deadpool. The only surviving villain, Loki, arrives to find the Pub in shambles and all his friends gone.

After the release of Deadpool 2, Deadpool receives Palpatine's communication and uses Cable's time travel device to go back in time and steal the Infinity Gauntlet for himself before Thor can get it, saving the pub. Deadpool is allowed in to tell his story, though none of the other villains believe him. They request he leave the Gauntlet there, but he refuses and leaves with it, leaving the pub in operation once more.

History[]

The pub was founded by Emperor Palpatine, most likely in 1983 after the release of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. The pub quickly expanded to include many villains. Over time and into the 2010s, the Villain Pub became a popular hangout for villains from film, television, comics, books, etc. However, they had strict rules, including "boss battles only" and "real villains only", the latter caused a number of villainous characters that were either lame, redeemed, or anti-heroic to be excluded.

How Thor The Dark World Should Have Ended[]

Loki was at the Villain Pub moping his loss of how his trickery was discovered and he was forced to assist Thor in defeating the Malekith and was forced back to his cell in Asgard which he then escaped using magic. Malekith arrives and complains to Loki that he stole his spotlight to which Loki simply describes Malekith's embarrassing defeat at the hands of 'two human scientists and two brainless interns' and calls him an amateur; Malekith then leaves. Zod jokes to Loki that, if he had been a good child Odin probably would have just handed him the throne since Thor no longer wants it, to which Loki jokingly retorts that if Zod had colonized Mars he could have saved his entire race. Loki then notes that he likes the pub and enquires as to its name. The Villain Pub's name is then revealed for the first time.

How Suicide Squad Should Have Ended[]

After saving the world and killing Amanda Waller, the Suicide Squad go to the Pub to tell their story to Palpatine, but he and Voldemort get annoyed by the fact that they saved the world since heroes are the ones who do that. When Deadshot tries to explain how they are villains (with the only exceptions of Katana and Colonel Rick Flag), Joker comes with the theory that Waller would be the real villain of the story instead of either Enchantress or himself, as he was briefly in the story. Tired of the Suicide Squad, Palpatine calls Bowser to kick the Suicide Squad out of the Pub, with Voldemort laughing at them and yelling at them to "come back when they do something evil".

Villain Pub - The Boss Battle[]

After the events of 2016's Suicide Squad, Batman ended up finding the Pub and proceeded to fight all of the villains inside.

How Deadpool 2 Should Have Ended[]

Deadpool discovers the call sent by Emperor Palpatine, and, grabs the Infinity Gauntlet following the events of Infinity War's HISHE. He uses it to gain more chicken in the Pub, and scolds Thanos for trying to wipe out half the universe when he could just double the resources and leaves. Then in the same fashion as in the Infinity War HISHE, Loki comes back and tells the other villains how he faked his own death again and says that Thanos knows, because "he was there".
