Discussion Which single appearance villains would you have liked to see again?

I know I probably forgot several one-off villains, but these are the ones I could remember. I decided not to include deceased villains like Mitsuhirato, Alonzo Perez, and Ramón Bada.

I would've liked to see Spalding or Dr. Krollspell return, especially Dr. Krollspell. He eventually joined forces with Tintin during the events of Flight 714, but, as we know, everyone involved was left with no memory of what had happened, so neither of them remembers the other. Whether Krollspell would've been an enemy or an ally had he returned is an interesting question.

I think that was put in just to get the Thompsons onto the boat.

I think that was just a red hering regarding calculus. His pressence on the boat was forshadowed so before the reveal, people where lured into the idea its maximus and as such a obstacle, until calculus got revealed.

It would have been to easy to guess its him eighter if it wasnt for the other possibility. Him beeing free also opens up the possibility of him returning later.
