Arkon, the ruler of the other-dimensional world of Polemachus
has had contact with earthlings on several occasions.  He was
first seen attempting to start a nuclear war on earth, hoping
that the energy released would rekindle the dying energy bands
that provide light and heat on Polemachus.  He was stopped by
the Avengers.  He clashed with the Avengers again when he manipulated
by the Enchantress.  He fought the Fantastic Four when he 
hatched an amusingly complicated plan to set three worlds at
war with each other.  He kidnapped the X-Men hoping that Storm
would be able to power up the energy bands and later went to
the X-Men and the FF for help when Polemachus was invaded by 
the Badoon.  In these later appearences he is portrayed as
a reasonably nice guy, apparently he has been forgiven for trying
to initiate thermonuclear holocaust in the past (I guess it 
was just a difficult stage he was going through).

The Armadillo was created by Dr Karl Malus, who promised to cure
Antonio's sick wife in exchange for service.  On his first mission
he was defeated by Captain America who took pity on the guy and
helped him go straight and join the Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation.
Unfortunately, Mark Gruenwald forgot all about this guy when Cap
thought he was dying and despaired because he had never succeeded 
in reforming any of his foes.
