As the MCU's Phase 5 continues with Loki Season 2's debut, and the DCU reboots itself under James Gunn, it's important to remember that they didn't always hold a monopoly on superhero movies. Or even comic book movies. But as any fan can tell you, the best superhero movies always have a great supervillain. So we figured it was time to look at the best superhero movie villains ever.
Actor: Matthew Goode
Movie: Watchmen (2009)
The modern age tradition of "hey, that villain was actually more right than wrong" was popularized in a big way with Alan Moore's revolutionary Watchmen comic series from the late '80s and the arch-villain Ozymandias, a "hero" with his 4D chess eyes on the greater good and the actual saving of humanity. Like an A.I. programmed to predict the best overall outcome for a hypothetical armageddon, Ozymandias, played by Matthew Goode in Zack Snyder's film adaptation, sacrificed millions of lives in order to bring the nuclear doomsday clock to a stop. And the best part, of course, was the subversion of the cliched villain monologue. Instead of being his undoing, providing a window for the heroes to stop him, it was simply an explanation after the fact.
