The Joker is a fictional super villain created by Bill Finger, Bob Kane, and Jerry Robinson who first appeared in the debut issue of the comic book Batman (April 25, 1940) published by DC Comics. Credit for the Joker's creation is disputed; Kane and Robinson claimed responsibility for the Joker's design,... read more The Joker is definitely the greatest superhero villain of all time. I first realized this from The Dark Knight film, where the Joker causes complete chaos and proves to everyone that, no matter who you are, we all have the capability to do wrong. I believe this gives us a broad understanding of mortality.
I believe that's why he's so wild because he knows the world is crazy like he is. His personality represents humanity, and he just wants everyone to smile more.
A psychotic genius, Joker really hit the spotlight in The Killing Joke.
The Scarecrow is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly as an adversary of the superhero Batman. Scarecrow should be number 1. He is the master of fear, and he is up there with The Joker as one of the best supervillains of all time.
He believes fear is the way to gain people's respect, and he does gain it from many other villains.
Professor Pyg is a fictional supervillain appearing in comic books published DC Comics, commonly as an adversary of the superhero Batman. Melts people's faces to make them perfect. What more can I say?
Clayface is an alias used by several fictional supervillains appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. There's actually a villain named Clayface? Dang, and that picture looks pretty intimidating!
An actor full of jealousy turns into a clay man through a series of events I'm not explaining.
Venom, or the Venom Symbiote, is an alias used by several fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly in association with Spider-Man. Venom is definitely Spider-Man's best villain. He is also Marvel's 5th best villain.
A symbiote who takes over people's minds. He has an offspring...
Carnage (Cletus Kassidy) is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually as an enemy of Spider-Man. He appeared for the first time in The Amazing Spider-Man #361. Carnage is a sociopathic serial killer given the powers of Spider-Man on steroids. He should be second after Scarecrow.
Carnage! Exactly as the name says, he kills all in his path and is a son of Venom.
Thanos is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Jim Starlin and Mike Friedrich. The character first appeared in Iron Man #55 and has been portrayed by actors Damion Poitier and Josh Brolin in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Thanos once killed half of everyone in the universe to please Death. Plus, he routinely takes on every Avenger at the same time and comes out on top. The only times he's really ever lost is when his arrogance gets the best of him.
A god who owns many Infinity Stones and is practically Marvel's Darkseid.
Bizarro is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by writer Otto Binder and artist George Papp as a "mirror image" of Superman and first appeared in Superboy #68. A second Superman attempt by Lex Luthor who went mad. Bizarro is probably one of the most bizarre villains of all time.
Syndrome (born as Buddy Pine) is the primary antagonist in The Incredibles. He wanted to be super like the others, even though he had no powers. He was Mr. Incredible's #1 fan, and dubbed himself "Incrediboy," but he was rejected by Mr. Incredible. Angered after being refused, he developed an evil plan... read more Syndrome is funny. "I'm Incrediboy." I also really love Harley Quinn. This guy is hilarious.
Be honest, if Syndrome were real, you'd be scared. Who wouldn't?
Loki Laufeyson, or Loki Odinson, is a fictional character appearing in the American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is the adoptive brother and archenemy of Thor, and is known as the "God of Mischief". In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the character has been portrayed by Tom Hiddleston. Loki is by far the best villain here. He can turn all these villains into his minions. He is also really hard to kill. So far, he is in the lead for most Infinity Stones at a time. In The Avengers, he had his staff and the Tesseract, which both contain Infinity Stones.
He's a master of sorcery, awesome at strategy, and nearly defeated the Avengers! Come on, he's great!
Loki should at least be in the top ten. He is Marvel's best and most feared villain.
