Villainy

Villainy is one of those subject that gets radical opinions. But from a Christian perspective, most people declare those who go against the laws of the bible as villains, which, while that makes us sinners, I’m not sure that’s what constitutes as villainy, though it’s a good start; so far I’ve yet to have seen a villain who was without sin…. That would be the weirdest and most difficult idea for a villain ever.

Ok back on my trail of thought: Villains spark some kind of emotion, a villain can not be really a villain without sparking an idea that what they are doing is wrong; or can they? Some of the greatest villains in real life were people who were originally thought to be heroes, look at Hitler, the man was pretty much worshiped in Germany.

So, what is a villain? That’s my problem that I’ve been dealing with lately, Sometimes those who are portrayed as heroes really are villains, and quit often it works the other way too, so I started anylizing villainy not at the black and white obvious, but the grey, who are the souls who lie in between the war of good and evil.

The Anti-hero, and the sympathetic villain. These are both loved in modern story telling as it is more dimensional than: “I’m evil, I wear Red, FEAR ME!!!!” Not that having a 2dimensional villain is always bad, it just isn’t as thought provoking as a three dimensional one. Same goes for heroes, if they all are just “Good good blabbity blabbity get the girl kill the bad dude….” See my point? People like deep stuff…

Problem is, anti-hero and sympathetic villain can be interchangeable. I will take Doc Ock for example. He’s a sympathetic villain who’s lost his wife, and balmes spiderman, so he goes out to…. Kidnap Mary Jane, and rebuild the machine so that mankind can have free energy….

Ok kidnapping bad, he robs a bank, bad….. this si getting really hard here people, in return he’s gonna give us unlimited energy, world peace, and oh right, those really cool arm things could help the disabled.

Oh wait the machine goes wrong, his calculations wer a little off HE WAS SO CLOSE!!!! Seriously, had spider-man came up to him and went: “Hey dude, I had an idea, the generators failed last time, so I was thinking, lets make the reaction smaller, and the field bigger….”

….

….

….

Oops, yeah… villain gone, hero born.

Lets look at the flipside.

Wolverine tormented as a child, loses his family, tortured by his arch nemesis Sabertooth forever, and um loses his memory….

So in return he puts his dark side behind and goes around saving people in bad situation right?

No that’s the 80s incredible hulk.

This is wolverine, keep it straight.

Wolverine goes around killing people who tormented him, or maiming them, or threatening to kill them, then years later killing them. He’s gained loyal family, but um, ditched them in favor of random killing sprees and anger management issues.

(Ok he’s helped out people in bad situations too, and he’s even taken care of others, but without fail he’ll be on the road fighting some blood bath soon enough)

ARGH!!! It doesn’t make sense, Wolverine’s an anti hero, Doc Ock’s a sympathetic villain, but on the surface they should be opposites!

So….

Ugh.

Ok this is hard, no one knows where the grey line is, so here, I’ll define it FOR everyone.

Villains are those who do wrong, and continue to do wrong, it’s not that they can’t escape their one mistake, it’s that they choose to live in it, and continue it. They become the antagonist, and drive forward into further sin and chaos

Hero’s are those who rise above their possible darkness, and even if they start out bad, they WILL stand for what is right. They will not let themselves fail time and time again

My point behind this? Well honestly but I’ve had a villain for a while, and I’ve not known what to do with him.

The truth is: he’s my oldest villain, in every sense. He was derived from a villain I made when I was four, and the guy is 4,000 years old. He’s evil, and charming, and has light blue eyes, and long blond hair. He looks like an angel, but oh my goodness is he evil. He starts his story by killing his family, removing the protection from his kingdom, and starting his own kingdom. He has his people worship him, perform human sacrifices before him, he kills when he feels like it, but you never know when he’s gonna feel like it, he might kill 12 guards in one week during a time of peace, but when they are losing a war, he’ll be calm, almost kind to his guards.

Figured it out? He’s Devioun. And he was derived from a very early creation of mine. I consider him my most evil character besides possibly Sinner, but whereas Sinner is focused on one man, Devioun is concentrated on everyone. He’s studied witchcraft of all forms, but has never been satisfied, he’s a scientist, but uses his devices and creations to control others. He darks to the dark Spirits, and is even allies with a few, and he has the largest country under his thumb.

Sounds like I’ve got him down pat right? Wrong. Truth is, he’s always been stable in who he is, it’s his position in the hierarchy that is out of whack. In the early pre Devioun days he had a witch who was ugly and cast spells for him, and he was the science guy. Well I gave him her powers, and so he became a sole leader.

Then I brought in the Dark Spirits to the world, it gave a truly gritty and believable edge to his magic, but it also was a threat to him, someone who held his puppet strings. His greatest Ally: Skorpukeil, who in all honesty was supposed to be both a replacement for the witch, and the Devil himself. Bad move as Devioun’s threat goes right out the door when someone bigger and badder than him is in charge, so I made Skorpukeil weak, but that brought in the question: Who WAS in charge?

I created Sklurn, new Satan, and he was a lot better at it, but here’s the catch: Sklurn was again too good, taking away from Devioun, and hampering the story.

So what do I do? I’ve done every rebalancing I can think of, and still I am stuck nowhere.

I came up with another idea, Devioun was supposed to be the main bad guy, and he’s an ultimate evil, why is he not the devil of their universe? Sklurn is so OBVIOUS and cliché it’s not funny, and Skorpukeil is a laughable puppetmaster, so why not Devioun being the real leader. They all thought he was their puppet, but he had some trick up his sleeve, that made him the master of all evil?

Suddenly the doors open up. What if someone took the idea of man being the highest creation of all, both physical and spiritual, and suddenly twist it, He’s taken over everything, and he abuses all power. He controls the Dark Spirits, giving them but the illusion of power and freedom, but he’s more like a controlling master. Then with his people and animals he uses his dark arts to make them worship him, and give themselves for him./

It’s to me, perfect, really, what if Satan was a man, and used every element of his being to destroy all creation? Would he be worse, or Better than a Spiritual Satan?

That is why DEVIOUN will be the new master of all evil. Sklurn was bad to the bone, but he was not a good villain, Skorpukeil acts more like an angry secretary than plot master, and Devioun is a cunning methodical planner with a creative sense of destruction and horror. 

Greatest VIllains of all time

Um wow, what happened? I posted this and I just now found out the thing never posted, so here I am writing it again.

5. Doctor Doom

Doctor Doom has to be on this list just because he’s so good at what he does. Most supervillains have tried to take over the world, and then um, well, usually they either A, Die, or B, get thrown in jail.

Doctor Doom not so much, he’s the most successful of his kind, and that’s about it. He’s taken over a country turned it into a futuristic military powerhouse, and can bend other countries to his will by blowing them off the map. The only problem he has is that he’s frequently stopped by a bowl of jello, a pile of rocks, an imaginary friend, and a candle.

Defining moment: Taking over his home country and ruling it. Not only is he successful, but they see him as a super-hero, THAT’S success.

4. Two Face

Harvey Dent, shining hero of Gotham, and only man who will do what’s right no matter what happens to himself. Pour gasoline on half of his body light a match, add a crazy split personality, and you’ve got a great Super Villain.

Two face has two signature traits: Half his face is burned away or scarred up, depends on the artist, and he’s got a two headed coin with one side being damaged, and the other being perfect.

Two face flips this coin to decide someone’s fate. Frequently though; Havey’s psycho alter ego will twist his will on fate to kill someone. Like one time the coin didn’t land the way he wanted it to, so the guy got to not receive  bullet in his head, Harvey then flips again, and shoots a crate suspended by rope down on him. Two Face feeds off of chaos, and sees chance as being our only judge in life. Combine that with his obviously creepy looks, and you’ve got one scary villain.

Defining moment: Harvey fighting two face off to not kill Batman, Two face tried to find some way using the coin, but time and time again, it landed on good heads until he finally broke down and ran away.

3. Iron Monger

Iron man’s best and shortest lived villain. The Iron Monger was made by Obadiah Stane, which actually is the climax of their little battle. Leading up to that Obadiah Stane tried to perform a hostile takeover of Stark Industries, which was at the time fairly easy because Stark had gone just about mad drinking all the time, and had given up being Iron Man.

Obadiah nearly succeeded, but there was one thing he learned that made him even greedier, he found out Iron Man was Tony Stark, so he with the help of a few others, set out to steal the Iron Man tech. He did so successfully, and proceeded to make a giant super weapon version of Iron Man, he literally became a tank on legs. When Tony Stark was facing death, he put back on the suit that he had given up, and the two wound up fighting in a confrontation on Stane Industries’ rooftop. In a lucky Blow Iron Man kills Iron Monger.

Defining Moment: The Entire Story Arc was epic, but unlike other super villains who get an epic first  story and then fade, Obediah didn’t have that opportunity, when they killed him, they killed him for good, though his psychotic cyborg son does later vow revenge, and continues the Stark-Stane war. So sadly his defining moment was his death.

2. Bane

ok first, let me tell all you who saw Batman and Robin: THAT WAS NOT BANE!

Ok, I’m calm now. Most people who saw the infamous Batman & Robin Movie would think that Bane is a professional wrestler who has Kool-aid pumped into his brain, and runs around grunting while smashing things that most of us could do anyway. Bane was unimpressive and well, lame.

Bane of the Comic who’s name they tried so hard to tarnish, however stand out as one of Batman’s greatest enemies, and responsible for his greatest story arc: Knightfall

Basically the story boils down to: Bane was a child serving his father’s prison sentence because ehis father either escaped, or died, or both, can’t remember, but basically Bane was born and raised in a prison. That’s just for starters, but this really doesn’t ruin Bane as much as we would think, one would think he would become a psycho, but really he becomes quite intelligent, he taught himself how to read, and he could figure out most problems, one would think he was a nerd, but again he actually built up his body so he was the strongest man there; I know what you are all thinking: so this guy is a jerk right? He’s totally evil right? NO, he’s polite, has a sense of honor, and prefers a fair fight to a one sided match.

Well fast forward to modern times, secret super soldier formula being tested, and Bane is selected because he was seen as expendable. He survives, but the Super Soldier formula known as Venom is required to constantly be feed into his body, he’s extremely addicted, but it gets worse, he’s now freakishly strong. It’s essentially a steraroid though, and it only amplifies his tremendous streangth, it doesn’t turn him into say: the Hulk.

They put Metal plates under his skin, and so by making him bullet proof, they make him the ultimate solder, so he does what any sensible wrongfully imprisoned person does when they are given super strength and invulnerability: he busts out.

He goes in search of Batman who I believe is somehow to blame for some of the previous events, though I don’t know for sure. He like immediately figures out Bruce Wayne is Batman, and does what every Super Villain before him should have tried: Set loose everyone in Arkham Asylum.

So he does, and Batman spends 3 months with barely any rest rounding back up. When Batman returns for the last time, he finds Bane in the Bat cave. The two confront each other, and then they fight for a while, leading up to Bane snapping Batman’s spine.

And That’s how it goes, Batman was beaten by Bane thoroughly, and Bane did it in the simplest most sensible way a super villain could. Unfortunately after Knightfall all the Other Bane Stories got progressively worse, but most anyone who’s heard of the best Dark Knight Stories has heard of Knightfall.

Defining Moment: Breaking Batman’s spine.

1. Green Goblin

The badest villain of them all. He is evil, insane, and a genius, and has been responsible for some of the greatest Spiderman story-arcs.

When Green Goblin first showed up he was just a mad industrialist who preformed the experiment on himself because he ran out of time, and he was one day away from losing everything. The Serum made him go absolutely insane, and he took just every weapon he had, and themed it after a cheesy haunted house. Ok The Green goblin’s Pumpkin bombs, razor bats, and the Bat-glider are all pretty lame, but it’s the man behind the mask that makes it all cool.

Green Goblin tortured Peter By hunting down his loved ones one by one, and kidnapping them and dangling them from high places, he scared the life out of Peter at every turn, and he was one of those few villains that when he got henchmen, he armed them properly. It was oftena  lot of work for Peter to fight all the traps and trick Goblin would set up before he could confront Goblin himself.

But it gets worse, Green Goblin has tricked fellow villains into fighting each other, and sometimes other heroes to draw out Spiderman, and take him by surprise. Every time he was pulling out something new, and every time he was doing something more evil than the last.

Finally their one sided battles lead to Goblin tossing Peter’s long time girlfriend, and probably future wife off a bridge, and letting spider-man save her, only he couldn’t and her spine snapped. The green Goblin won that day, and thoroughly broke Peter.

After that the battles got even more personal as Peter was often finding it hard not to kill Goblin until they finally had such a fast paced battle, that Peter leaped out of the way one time as the glider was approaching, and he looked up to see Norman Osborn dead by his own machine.

Later Norman Osborn literally smashes his way out of his grave, and proceeds to go back to his insane ways. He kidnapped his own grandson this time and nearly killed him, along with tricking Peter into thinking his Aunt died.

Defining Moment: It’s hard to choose just one, Norman Osborn is such a brilliantly evil person that  almost all of his stories wind up epic, but if I were to choose one, I would choose the Death of Gwen Stacy: Peter’s Girlfriend. It was one of the defining moments in Comic book history, and had the largest impact on the character of Spiderman other than the Death of Uncle Ben.

Heroes that should be villains

I think we all know what I’m talking about. You have read that anti-hero that is just so dark that in any other story he would be the bad guy, but for some reason they make him the good guy here. I am gonna list the top 5 of these, now I know this was not originally on the list of villains for the week, but Momma was the one who submitted this idea, and we came up with 5 really fast.

5. Xavier

Professor X is probably one of the creepiest characters in comics; time and time again he makes you question why you are on his side. He has the noble goal of freeing all mutants and them living in harmony with humans…. And he does many not so noble things to get that dream. He has mind controlled many a person, he has tapped into people’s minds to access information he wants. He proclaims that Telepaths shouldn’t do that while doing it himself.

Plus it has been done time and time again that he can erase everyone’s minds and makes them think something else happened, he does this for the “greater good” and this brings up how many times he’s done that, we know he tampered with Jean Grey, we know he tampered with Wolverine, we know he’s lied to wolverine, and even to his second in command: Cyclops.

Xavier is certainly a villain with noble intentions; at least that’s what we all hope.

4. Iron Man

Now I’m not talking about the movie version, or the old 60s and 70s version of him, I am talking about modern Iron man, the Iron man who made a robot Thor to 

help kill his former friends; who voted to have all super humans registered or face  being locked away in a prison built in another dimension. The Iron Man who locked the Hulk on the moon, and then when the Hulk returned to fight him, he ran away for all his allies to fight him.

Yeah, that Iron Man.

3. The Huntress

The Huntress is rather similar to Batman in that she fights crazed villains in Gotham, but she’s very different in that she kills every single villain she encounters too. She’s gruesome in the extreme, and has no real ability to show mercy, but she does clean the city more effectively than Batman, but that’s until she has Batman on her trying to take her down for killing the wrong villain.

She’s extremely Brutal, but that’s about it with her.

2. Punisher

There are only two characters so mindlessly brutal that they not only kill their opponent, but then rip that opponent to shreds, and one of them is the Punisher.

The Punisher has no powers, and is not special in any way other than he has a really big guns, and he likes to blow up stuff. The Punisher is Known to do anything to Kill the bad guys, including blow up gas stations, chop thugs heads off,  and steal cars. He doesn’t have much of a code other that save innocent lives.

Why is he like this? Well he was already a bit messed up when his family was killed in an attempt at killing him. He now has vowed not only revenge, but to kill all criminals.

Yeah he’s messed up.

1. Wolverine

This guy is the king of all Villain heroes. He actually has a slightly higher moral code than Punisher by the fact that he protects innocents, but that’s minor in comparison to what he has done wrong.

Ok most Wolverine fans are gonna get mad at me if I don’t point out all the programs he was put through to make him into a weapon of war, that he’s a twisted experiment who’s been mind controlled and brain washed. I know all this, I know his Backstory very well, but I am also going to say: it doesn’t matter.

The truth is not only that he Kills every villain he encounters, he also totally decimates them. He doesn’t leave it at quick jab, he drags it on to be a ripping tearing blood and gore fest. He actually finds pleasure in killing, and if that was not enough, his thoughts on theft, whatever is handy to him, is his.

Wolverine has left a trail of bodies wherever he’s gone, sometimes they were not villains, but heroes looking for revenge, or to defend someone else, and that’s why Wolverine is my Number one villain who is labeled a hero.

Villains with the most potential

got the images working today, enjoy:

Ok you know there are villains out there that you love, but no else seems to, why? well that's complicated, but it mostly has to do with what strikes you, and what strikes others. this list is my list of possible great villains, but havn't lived up to their potential yet.

5. Shocker

This villain is the sorta basic henchman all of the other cooler villains. That’s frankly why he’s never been on a best or worst list, and frankly he should stay where he is that way, but I would like to see him and his powers featured more.

He shoots through anything using sonic blasters attached to his wrists. He’s actually quite powerful, but he doesn’t use his tools that well, and frankly he wears a suit that looks like an oven mitt. He doesn’t have much of a personality, but then he doesn’t really need one, he basically is the over powered guy who works for the masterminds. He does the dirty work so the major players can keep to their tasks, like taking over the world.

That being said, he needs to lose the suit, and wear something less grandma’s kitchen, and more high tech spy, and he also needs to do more espionage, and just needs to be featured more.

Potential: to be the coolest henchman ever.

4. The Riddler

Ok this is a villain with a lot of real potential if it weren’t for how complicated they make him. The greatest thing they could do is to make him a simpler villain. Right now he wears that ridiculous green suit, and then he goes around creating elaborate traps and puzzles for Batman. If you were to make him dress in street clothes, and merely a killer who wrote poetic riddles with each murder, he would be cool.

Oh and I don’t mean obvious riddles, Make them poetic pieces that have nothing to do with the murder seemingly, but contain clues. I would also like it to be made to where Riddler used a lot of visual puzzles. He could be like some twisted artistic murderer, but in his current form he’s more like that weird uncle who thinks he’s really clever, but everyone knows he’s not.

Potential: A scary killer who finds art in what he does, and intellectually challenges Batman.

3. The Clock King

A slightly lesser known Batman villain; he’s actually pretty cool in that he’s mastered the ability to time anything accurately. He knows what is going to happen before it does because he’s so careful to make sure nothing could go wrong. The problem isn’t really him, his ability, or even his personality, it lies in one weird thing the comic artist who created him did, he themed everything about the guy around clocks. I’m serious, this guy wear clock GLASSES, and then because of this his dialogue often goes something like this.

Clock King: “You couldn’t figure out when the train would arrive because you didn’t take into account daylight savings.”

Batman: “You’ll never get away with this Clock King” (ok One other thing, his name is kinda funny too, just so absurd)

Clock King: “Oh look, you’re all out of time.”

Yep, that pretty sums up his dialogue. He himself however is really interesting, and his obsession with perfect timing has lead him to be an unusually dangerous foe, he just needs to tone it down on the clock part of his obsession.

Potential: A continual threat who knows when and how to exploit every one of batman’s moves

2. Sebastian Shaw

Ok I bet a lot of you don’t know about this guy, it’s really odd because he’s like the only X-Men villain I like. Why you ask? He’s understated, he’s charming, and he’ll kill as soon as he gets what he wants.

He’s the leader of a high end Super villain club known as the Hellfire club. The Hellfire club is already kinda weird, they have several leaders based off of chess pieces, and different colors the most prominent ones are white and black, but in Europe there is a red group as well. Anyway Sebastian was originally the White King when he was dating the White Queen AKA Emma Frost. When she switched over to the X-men, he abandoned post and fought for his place as the Black King. He’s been in all kinds of stories, but his main problem is that he doesn’t do much in the way of evil deeds.

Yes he’s done all kinds of evil, but he doesn’t ever do anything impressive. That’s really the only thing holding him back, if he could be the centerpiece of just ONE major event in the X-men universe he’d be an instant favorite of many, but because this really cool villain hasn’t done anything yet, he’s not that well known.

on a side note, though not really interesting, he has the power to absorb impact and turn it into strength. so the more you punch him, the stronger he gets.

Potential: TO become the true arch nemesis of the X-men

1. Mysterio

Ok if you’ve ever followed Spiderman anything, you’ll know this guy, and you’ll remember him too, why? He wears a fish bowl on his head! Actually that boils down pretty much every problem with him, he’s just too flamboyant. This guy goes over the top everywhere he goes, he’s a master illusionist, but his illusions are just absurd like: Winged skeletons…. Or giant man eating moles…. Or zombie aliens. I’m not making this stuff up people, this is the quality of stuff he’s churned out.

Whenever he’s churned out something cool like making Spiderman think every person he was trying to save was brutally murdered: he’s been scary, he’s made Spider-man question his grip on reality, but for every time he does that, he has a thousand evil mutant killer bees.

Potential: to be a scary mind warping character that twists people’s perceptions until they don’t know what’s real and what’s not.

Most Overrated Villains

Ok from now on no more pictures. It takes me too long with these to embed them, and Blogger's been flaking out. I encourage you to google the villains though.

Doctor Octopus

This guy was actually pretty good for his time, but he long outlived his time. His main problem is that he’s two dimensional, he wants to kill Spider-Man, and everyone else who doesn’t like him. Gee I wonder why….

The movie tried to shake things up by making him sympathetic, but I never sympathized with him, and frankly I never understood why he was so whiny, plus him talking to his arms was beyond weird. The Movie never explained why his arms would have a personality.

Truth is, He’s cool looking, but beyond that, there’s not much to him.

Joker

Ok this is gonna get me flak, but it’s true Joker is overrated. At least, when he’s being the Joker.

The Joker Started out as an angry clown who turned into a weird psychopathic killer. When he’s mostly killing and laughing, he’s creepy cool, but when he’s whacking people with rubber chickens filled with bricks…. He loses that cool factor big time, and actually could be rated as one of the lamest villains ever designed.

Magneto

Magneto has to be one of those villains who always gets treated as if he were cool, but totally isn’t. The truth is that Magneto is an old guy who leads a group of other evil mutants. He’s explained to control magnetism, but can do way more than one could with Magnetic fields, so I guess no one really knows WHAT he is.

For a long time when it was a mental battle between him and Xavier, he was cool, but in recent years he’s taken over his own nation (Hello Doctor Doom anyone?) and Xavier has quit, so Magneto is sorta like a villain with no hero to fight, as a result he is boring, and he’s ripping off successful villains.

Lex Luthor

Oh My goodness there is no version of Lex Luthor that’s even remotely believable! Originally he’s a mad scientist who tries to destroy the world with futuristic weaponry, and then he becomes a mad scientist bent on killing superman so he can take over the world, and THEN he becomes a mad industrialist who becomes bent on killing superman so he can take over the world, and then he becomes a mad industrialist who wears a power armor and fights Superman personally to take over the world… and

See a pattern forming here? He’s got two goals: Kill Superman, and Take over the world. This wouldn't be so bad if people would just CATCH ON!!!!

I mean come on! When he’s out there shooting things down in his power armor you think SOMEBODY would notice and say “Hey Lex Luthor is a bad guy!” but nooooooo nobody ever suspects that Lex Luthor could be a villain, he must be a good man as he promises technological advances, and world peace (world Domination)

He insults the intelligence of the common reader, and as a result: is LAME.

Venom

Ok Yeah, This is the third arch nemesis in a row that I am taking on here, but guess what, I really don’t feel bad about this one. Venom had one good storyline, and that was IT. When he and Spiderman first faced off Spiderman had gotten rid of his uber cool alien Black suit, and an Angry Eddie Brock who had been ruined by a mistake which he blamed Spiderman for: Joined forces. They become the monster known as Venom. A dual Personality inside of one body, but they acted in perfect unison, and they were Spider-man’s equal in every way, but intelligence. Spidey always has to use his brains to overcome Venom.

The problem is that every story since has been the same, Venom wants revenge, he kidnaps someone Peter loves, Peter fights to near death, but beats him with either fire or sonics. This is getting BORING. It’s like rhino but with a cooler suit and better powers. Spiderman always does the same thing, but Venom is never bright enough to try new tricks. He has become boring, and everyone knows the story, everybody is bored with the story, we want something new.

Worst Super Villains ever

Ok lots of people do worst and best Super Heroes, worst and best costumes, and worst and best movies, but what about the villains? well that's what I'm covering this week, worst and best villains for our iconic heroes. It's a four part series that will go in this order:

Worst Villains,

Most overrated villains

Villains with most potential

Best villains.

SO to kick things off here's my list of five worst villains ever.

Hob Goblin

I have him on this list because he’s the nerd who will never die. He’s like a five year old’s super hero. Everything one villain can do he can do better. The problem? He’s a stinky clone of the Green Goblin without the brains; he pulls new weapons out of the air with new ways of taking down Spiderman, and there’s no one interesting behind the mask. He creates no elaborate plans, just robs banks. Yeah real good stuff.

Try Harder Marvel. We don’t want rehashing of iconic villains; we want new and cooler villains.

Catwoman

This poor Feline themed Cat Burglar (Oh sheesh were the writers even trying here?) is probably the most poorly thought out villainess ever. She started out as just a cat burglar that Batman fought, but then….. a few years down the road some writer decided to have a romance between the two…. Well it is awkward to this day, and this character is obsessed with cats. She owns a whole lot of them, in some comics her furniture is themed after them. It’s sad really.

She was ok until she fell in love with Batman, then she just got weird, and awkward.

Galactus

Premise: A giant man who rides around in a silver space ship and eats planets.

Execution: FAIL

Galactus is probably the worst concept ever to be executed this badly. Most ideas are either bad idea written well, but still bad, or a good idea screwed up royally. Galactus manages to be both bad in concept and in execution.

First of all he rides around in a giant space ship. He looks human, but he wears this ridiculous purple suit. And he EAT PLANETS!!!! Not only that, he eats only planets with life on it. Do know how often he eats? About once a month

If we were to assume that this galaxy had over 100,000 planets with life on it. (a ridiculous number to say the least) if the universe was 6,000 years old. Then by the time he reached Earth he would have eaten 72,000 planets. He would be verging on extinction!

However the first number is incredibly unlikely if there are even any other planets with life on them I would put the highest number at 10

We’re doomed.

He’s Doomed.

The comic he belongs to is doomed.

Doomsday

I might take some serious flak for this one, some people really like Doomsday, and I can say I don’t get it one bit. Doomsday should have never defeated Superman. Superman beat him every time since then, and it makes no sense that he’d be able to do it then. Superman simply went stupid that one time and just punched him repeatedly, until Superman died.

And Superman rose from the grave too.

Yeah, well Doomsday has like no personality, and no real story, most people don’t even really care about him besides the fact that he killed Superman. He is just a pure hate machine that kills until he is killed, and then comes back to life and kills more.

I guess the problem with him is that he’s got no personality really. If we had anything, just SOMETHING we could understand he would be cool but he just roars and pounds on things.

And Now the worst villain of them all

Rhino

If you thought Doomsday was ridiculous, Rhino is the definition of absurdity. We have a guy who is capable of throwing cars, smashing through any wall he wants, and tearing down buildings…. And he puts himself in a rhino suit. You can’t take him seriously! He looks like a school mascot, but with super strength.

Oh but get this, as if we were supposed to be impressed, he has a rhino horn on his head, and he always leans over to charge Spiderman with it. Now let’s get a few things straight, when a real rhino lowers into horn, it’s not blinded, and it can turn; this Rhino? He just smashes into stuff.

Did I mention he could tear down buildings, and smash through metal? Well that’s until Spider-man Inevitably tricks him into smashing into something, suddenly, he gets his noggin rattled, and Spider-man wins.

Every time this happens, he does not ever switch tactics, he never switches timing, nothing. Every Rhino comic is exactly the same, only a different setting. Rhino smash this, rhino smash that, Rhino says something stupid that’s supposed to be taken as funny, and he gets his head bonked. End of story, change setting for each new comic.

Really, and as if it wasn’t insulting enough that every story is that same, Rhino doesn’t even seem like he’s stupid, no he’s more like that comedian making fun of someone who’s stupid. So they don’t even get that much right.

SO basically we get a super powered rhino mascot who pretends to be stupid. That’s why Rhino is the worst villain ever made.
