What are the top 5 Villains in super hero comics?

112 posts in this topic

Without looking I can already guess there will be a Marvel vs DC bias.

 

Here is the top 5 list that comes to mind:

 

Loki

Dr. Doom

The Joker

Magneto

Lex Luthor

 

Marvel Only would add:

 

Sub-Mariner

Green goblin

 

DC Only would add:

 

Catwoman

Sinestro

Cheetah

What is your list?

 

And what number do you think IGN has Thanos at? (guess before you look..)

Wherever Thanos is on the list he had better be BEHIND Captain Cold, Shredder and Harley Quinn. :sumo:

Just looked at the list.

 

Loki got jobbed at # 8. They formed the Avengers just to stop him.

 

I could see how the top four are worthy but 5-7 puh-lease.

 

Also, while it is interesting that Cheetah drew # 69, she is Wonder Woman's arch enemy. Wonder Woman is part of the big three along with Superman and Batman in the DC universe. How is her arch enemy not even in the top 20? The whole list is gender biased.

When we had a Marvel supervillain survivor series contest here a few years ago, I'm pretty sure that Doc Doom won with Magneto second. I voted for Magneto to win.

Based on a secret formula that includes pop culture noteriety, longevity, relationship to major superhero, and coolness of appearance.

 

Joker

Green Goblin

Doctor Doom

Lex Luthor

Red Skull

 

I might have made room for Catwoman, but she's more than villain.
