At first glance, the Zaniac of the comics doesnt seem much more impressive.
However, he finds himself becoming one with his character, the furry and green-skinned Zaniac.

The multiversal cataclysm would occur if Zaniac killedJane Foster.
And why would he kill Jane Foster, you ask?
Just because shes a woman.
And why does Zaniac hate women, you ask?
Because hes Jack the Ripper.
