Top 10 Most Violent Comic Book Characters
With bad blood on them, they commit crimes and killings, but some did good or become good later in their stories. Here's a list of violent comic characters.
Wolverine is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly associated with the X-Men. His powers and abilities include a healing factor and his signature adamantium claws and adamantium skeleton. Although he has healing factors and adamantium bones, Wolvie can be pretty violent when he comes across his enemies in brutal fights... Even harder fights with Sabretooth.
The Punisher is a fictional antihero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer Gerry Conway and artist John Romita, Sr., with publisher Stan Lee green-lighting the name. How the hell is he not in top 3?! He has kill count in thousands!
The punisher can easily pass everyone on this list!
Why he's no there number 1 will forever baffle me.
Should easily be number 1.
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, while acknowledging Finger's writing contribution. Although the Joker was planned to be killed off during his initial appearance, he was spared by editorial intervention, allowing the character to endure as the archenemy of the superhero Batman. The Joker has also been included in many other platforms such as the Arkham game series, the DC animated universe, Young Justice, graphic novels, and ...read more. Totally insane psychopath that terrorizes Gotham to hell with his wicked ways. He was also the one who killed Jason Todd and paralyzed Barbara Gordon. Even though he's the most dangerous beings in Gotham, he's our favorite psychopath in DC today.
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. Cletus Kasady was once a serial killer, now he's much dangerous when he's infected by Symbiote and becomes Carnage.
If you think the Joker ain't enough for much violence, think about Image Comics' Invincible for example. A superhero fought his enemies in a glory, gritty and "hard to watch" scenes. We've seen arms torn off, intestines exploding, face pounded, be-heading and horrifying bone-breaking moments through his story. Read this series and you'll see how bad and violent it gets.
I'm surprised you mentioned this because I did read those series, only parts of the issues gets violent as the fight goes on. I think the battle between Invincible and Conquest was the goriest, painful and gruesome fight ever in the series.
Rorschach is a fictional anti-hero who appears in American comic books published by DC Comics. He first debuted in the graphic novel Watchmen, published from 1986-1987. Rorschach was created by writer Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. He split a guys head with a meat cleaver in the watchmen movie...
One of the coolest anti-heroes, and one of the most brutal!
Spawn is a fictional character, an antihero and hellish Superhero that appears in a monthly comic book of the same name published by American company Image Comics.
Negan is a fictional character from the comic book series The Walking Dead and is portrayed by Jeffrey Dean Morgan in the American television series of the same name. The Governor wasn't that much violent in The Walking Dead comic series, but Negan's psychotic ways made him the dangerous character ever. He even kills Glen with the barb-wired baseball bat.
I can't wait for him to get killed. And I hope he suffers after everything he's done and all the innocent people he's murdered. This man has no soul.
Laura Kinney, originally known as X-23 and later the second known Wolverine, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, most commonly in association with the X-Men. Laura Kinney maybe one of the attractive mutants in X-Men, but despite being created as a living weapon by Weapon X she gets herself in a deadly situation when she claws her enemies to death. She even had her arm cut off, burned to death and legs mangled in those series, but she does have a healing factor like Wolverine.
Deadpool is a fictional antihero created by Marvel who appears in their comics. Deadpool's first appearance was in New Mutants #98 by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza in February of 1991. His powers include self-healing and super strength. He is regarded as one of the funniest characters in comics due to his tendency to break the fourth wall.From the series Hack/Slash, Cassie's violent tales leads her to fight the evil slashers along with her hulking partner, Vlad. There's much brutality in this comic series if you read them.
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. He eats brains

Lobo is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by DC Comics. The Lobo character was created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen, and first appeared in Omega Men #3. Lobo is an alien born on the utopian planet of Czarnia, and works as an interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter. One of the most violent characters around. Not many characters are even close to this guy other than The Punisher who I would consider the most violent of them all.
