With a name like Apocalypse, you know he’s not going to fall into the ‘cute and cuddly’ category of comic book characters. Often erroneously referred to as the first mutant (that's actually Selene) En Sabah Nur was born in ancient Egypt at the time of the Great Pyramids construction. His tribe believed him to be a freak due to his facial markings a...
At first glance, Bane is a muscle-guy in a ridiculous mask. But he’s so much more. He’s one of the few villains to do the unthinkable; he completely and utterly defeated the Batman. It wasn’t just through use of brawn either, he studied his prey, watching for weaknesses, until he set up a series of events which caused Batman to run around Gotham un...
While there have been several incarnations of Zod over the years, much remains consistent. Unlike Superman’s father, Jor El, Zod was a warrior not a scientist. He believed that Krypton should pursue a military course of action to survive and was eventually banished to the phantom zone. Blaming Jor El for his exile, when he is freed he is dismayed t...
Despite being the villain most in need of a makeover (the bowl-cut and pot-belly aren’t cool) Doctor Otto Octavius is one of Spider-Man’s greatest foes and one who has done what few others have even gotten close to doing, he defeated Spider-Man. And not a temporary defeat either, he killed him and took his body, and both aspects of his life, for a ...
Wilson Fisk may not have any superpowers, but he’s still risen to the top of the criminal underworld and taken on Spider-Man, Daredevil, and many others. Often, he’s mistaken for a mere obese man, but this is just a façade. His massive frame belies a fierce fighter, well-versed in sumo and other martial arts. For years, Fisk maintained his cover as...
There will be those that say Catwoman has no place on this list due to her moral ambiguity and semi-regular team-ups with Batman. But, she’s got enough of a criminal history to give her a place here, especially as she has been a foil for the caped crusader over the years. As one of the few foes of Batmanwho can match him both physically and mentall...
While Jean Grey is the heart and soul of the X-Men and one of the sweetest people in the Marvel universe, the Dark Phoenix is one of the gravest threats ever faced by the X-Men and their allies. Due to numerous retcons, The Phoenix is either a cosmic being that impersonated Jean while Jean’s body was in a hibernation cocoon and is capable of posses...
While Mystique doesn’t have the physical power to bring down mountains, she can use her skills, cunning, and shape-shifting power to bring down governments. Having lived for well over a hundred years, Mystique is one of the oldest mutants in the Marvel Universe. Due to her power, her DNA doesn’t age as it constantly reconfigures itself. As such, sh...
Brainiac is one of Superman's oldest and most dangerous enemies. A sometimes techno-organic, sometimes fully synthetic being with a twelfth-level intellect he travels the multiverse seeking unique civilizations to shrink, which he then adds to his collection. His sole purpose is to find that which is unique, catalogue a sample, and destroy the orig...
Ra’s Al Ghul doesn’t see himself as a villain at all (the best never do, do they?) he simply seeks a better world, one which exists in peace and balance. His methods are the very definition of “Ends justify the means” however and he is prepared to kill a massive portion of the world in order to bring the population under control. He has lived for c...
