TOP 10 COMIC SUPER VILLAINS OF ALL TIME

Whenever there is a super hero, super villains are also present. Although most of the super villains does stand not much powerful in front of Super hero but few of them contains similar power as super hero and gives our superheroes a tough competition. And here is the list  about those super villains only.

TOP TEN COMIC SUPER VILLAINS OF ALL TIME :-

10) CATWOMAN :-





Publisher                        DC Comics
First appearance                        Batman #1 (Spring 1940)
Created by                        Bob Kane
                       Bill Finger
Alter ego Selina Kyle
Team affiliations Batman Family
Outsiders
Birds of Prey
Secret Society of Super Villains
Injustice League
Female Furies
Justice League of America
Notable aliases The Cat, Irena Dubrovna
Abilities
  • Peak athlete
  • Extremely skilled gymnast and hand-to-hand combatant
  • Expert burglar
  • Possesses costumes with steel spring-loaded climbing pitons and razor-sharp retractable claws
  • Wields an assortment of bullwhips and cat o' nine tails as gymnastic equipment
  • Empathic relationship ability with all types of cats
 
Yet another villain that has stood the test of time as a mirror to the Dark Knight, Catwoman has a bit of a unique angle when compared to her rivals. Outside of Talia Al Ghul, Selina Kyle is likely the closest thing to love that Bruce Wayne has ever experienced. In fact Kyle is one of the few distinguished characters to know Wayne is in fact Batman.
That connection alone is enough to propel Catwoman high up on our list, but it's also worth recognizing her fantastic, layered characterization. In fact her conduct over the years has allowed her to straddle the line of hero and villain, and in recent years she's been more of an anti-hero of sorts, despite constantly breaking the law and defying authorities. (She makes the list because of her decades of villainy mixed with DC's dedication to keeping her just on the darker side of the morality line.)
It's her willingness to play any side to her advantage that makes Catwoman such a compelling character. She serves herself and no other cause or master. She'll clash with Batman if she's executing her latest heist, but isn't afraid to exact her revenge on Hush, stealing his great wealth and leaving a vicious enemy of Batman with nothing but whatever is in his pockets. Her unpredictable nature combined with her unwillingness to play within the rules (which she could easily do given her many superhero contacts and pseudo-allies), makes her certainly one of the most entertaining baddies in the business and one of the strongest female leads in the industry. 

9) DARK PHOENIX :-


Publisher                       Marvel Comics
Publication date                       January – October 1980
Genre

  •             Superhero
Title(s)                       The X-Men #129–138
Main character(s)                       X-Men
                      Hellfire Club
                      Lilandra
                      Shi'ar Imperial Guard
                      Phoenix Force

 Quite honestly, the combined efforts of a half dozen villains on this list aren't likely to surpass what the Dark Phoenix accomplished in a brief moment. While most evildoers scheme and contemplate the destruction of the world, the Phoenix Force, through Jean Grey and in its most savage state, has simply acted and destroyed billions of lives.
As one of the most powerful entities on this list, the Dark Phoenix has immense telepathy and telekinetic abilities, but more importantly control over matter itself. This power level, combined with the classic nature of the original "Phoenix Saga" storyline, has largely prevented Marvel from revisiting the concept, despite teasing it in a limited capacity on numerous occasions through Jean Grey's resurrection or various mini-series that explored the nature of the Phoenix Force itself.
Despite having limited exposure when compared to many of the other villains in the upper ranks of our list, the Dark Phoenix is still one of the most accomplished and legendary. To this day, the Phoenix Saga is regarded as one of the best X-Men stories ever created. That accomplishment alone was a huge factor in our rankings.

8) LOKI :-




Publisher      Marvel Comics
First appearance      historical: Venus #6 (August 1949)
     modern day: Journey into Mystery #85 (October 1962)
Created by      Stan Lee
     Larry Lieber
     Jack Kirby

Full name Loki Laufeyson
Species Jötunn (Frost Giant)
Team affiliations Acts of Vengeance
Cabal
Mighty Avengers
Notable aliases Loki Odinson, Scarlet Witch, Serrure
Abilities
  • Genius-level intellect
Despite being a member of the Frost Giants, Loki possesses similar attributes to those possessed by Asgardians, such as:
  • Superhuman strength, durability, healing factor, stamina, and longevity
Abilities via mystical powers:
  • Telepathy
  • Flight
  • Shapeshifting
  • Inter-dimensional teleportation
  • Psionic ability
  • Astral projection
  • Molecular rearrangement
  • Energy blasts
  • Illusion casting
  • Hypnosis
The God of Mischief has been around far longer than Marvel Comics, but we can't help but love the incarnation that Stan Lee and Jack Kirby conjured up several decades ago. Since that time, Thor's half-brother has become a pivotal character in comic books, and is actually the villain that caused the creation of the Avengers. If that isn't an important event, we're not sure what is.
Important moments aside, Loki is a character that writers must simply love to write as he's been involved in some fantastic stories, the current run of Thor just being the latest of those. His hatred and jealousy of Thor runs so deep that Loki will stop at nothing, including the corruption and destruction of Asgard itself. Loki has even recently inhabited the body of Sif in order to deny the God of Thunder his love.
Loki has never been more important than he is now. As a member of Norman Osborn's villainous cabal, the Asgardian god is now in a position of influence, one that he is exploiting in numerous ways. Osborn's own agreement with Loki is to return Asgard to the heavens. An alliance with fellow Cabal member Victor Von Doom is yielding new control over Asgard. Manipulation of a sect of Avengers is even proving useful as a way to keep Osborn's personal interests under watch and influence.
There are many master manipulators, but this god has proven he has no equal. Marvel's Dark Reign may prove in the end to be the reign of one wicked Norse god.

 7) RA'S AL GHUL :-

Publisher                        DC Comics
First appearance                       Batman #232 (June 1971)
Created by                       Dennis O'Neil
                      Neal Adams

Team affiliations The Demon
League of Assassins
Underground Society
Notable aliases Ra's, The Demon's Head, Terry Gene Kase,Henri Ducard
Abilities Immortality from the Lazarus Pit
Genius-level intellect
Superior strength and stamina
Skilled in martial arts, fencing, and alchemy
Holds several centuries worth of accumulated knowledge, experience, and vast resources
You'd expect an immortal, international terrorist to want many things, but perfecting the Earth isn't one of them. And yet that's been Ra's Al Ghul's goal during his many lifetimes. He tears down societies to have them rebuilt in a more ideal fashion, bent on crafting his version of a utopia. "The Demon's Head" has spent centuries slaving away at this vision, and even he has lost track of his exact age. Fueled by the life-giving Lazarus Pits, which have the side effect of driving a person mad, Ra's will likely haunt the DC Universe for centuries to come.
Though Ra's has taken on the entire Justice League of America in the past - and beaten them - his principle opponent throughout his decades of tales has been Batman. Ra's considers the Dark Knight to be his only worthy opponent, and in an ironic twist is actually the grandfather of Bruce Wayne's son, Damien. Best of all is that the Demon Head's ultimate goal, the betterment of the world, is one that speaks to Batman and strikes a bit close to home.
Ra's Al Ghul is easily one of the most unique villains ever crafted. By taking a desire that all of us have and warping it, he is truly a character we love to hate. 

 6) DARKSEID :-

Publisher DC Comics
First appearance cameo: Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #134 (November 1970)
full: Forever People #1 (February 1971)
Created by Jack Kirby

Alter ego                     Uxas
Species                     New Gods
Place of origin                     Apokolips
Team affiliations                     Darkseid's Elite
                    Intergang
                    Secret Society of Super Villains
Notable aliases                     Boss Dark Side
Abilities
  • The Omega Force,
  • Super Strength,
  • Super Endurance,
  • Immortality,
  • Invulnerability,
  • Genius-level intellect
The DC Universe is packed with powerful entities that could destroy worlds at a time, but none are as feared or brilliantly executed as Darkseid, Lord of the war planet Apokolips. The evil god has had quite a legacy crafted for himself since being created by Jack Kirby. Not too shabby for a character that first appeared in a Jimmy Olsen book, eh?
Darkseid's motivations are rather simple - conquer and control all life by unlocking and solving the Anti-Life Equation, something DC fans saw him achieve in last summer's Final Crisis event. Though the storyline technically took the New God's life, it's hard to imagine the heroes of DC won't find themselves face to face with the ultimate embodiment of evil at some point down the road.
Perhaps the most appealing trait of Darkseid is his lack of interest in direct, physical confrontation. The being formerly known as Prince Uxas has immense strength, endurance and eye beams that can disintegrate, teleport or torture opponents, yet he chooses to manipulate events from the shadows, allowing his minions to act on his behalf. Darkseid's involvement with the New Gods, including his rivalry with the Highfather, the planet New Genesis and the diplomatic exchanges of sons Orion and Mister Miracle add multiple layers to a being that might otherwise be yet another generic worldwide threat. We're certainly glad DC wouldn't allow Kirby to kill off this fantastic villain as he originally planned. Decades of spectacular tales would have been left on the table otherwise.

5) GALACTUS :-

Publisher                  Marvel Comics
First appearance                  Fantastic Four #48 (March 1966)
Created by                  Stan Lee
                 Jack Kirby

Alter ego Galan
Place of origin Galan: Taa
Galactus: Cosmic Egg
Team affiliations Heralds of Galactus
God Squad
Notable aliases Ashta, Devourer of Worlds, The Monster of all Worlds, The Hunger That Does Not Cease, God of Oblivion.
Abilities Possessor of the Power Cosmic:
Virtual omnipotence
Latent omniscience
Reality alteration
Molecular manipulation
Matter manipulation
Energy alteration
Life force manipulation
Cosmic awareness
Telepathy
Telekinesis
Death. Eternity. The origins of the universe. These concepts and beings are fundamental to the existence of the Marvel Universe. Equal to these, however, is the next member of our Top Villains list - Galactus. Despite his rather garish appearance, the being formerly known as Galan lived before the birth of the modern cosmos, and is as fundamentally important to it as entities responsible for the creation and elimination of life. Galactus, in his destruction of planets, brings balance to the universe, just as life is given and taken every day on Earth.
It's this larger than life presence which makes Galactus one of the more important villains ever created, but it's his ties to Earth and its heroes that make him one of the greats. Through the creation of his heralds, destruction of the Skrull Empire and attempts to devour the Earth, this being is one of the greatest threats ever known to our beloved heroes. Most other villains pale in comparison.
Lastly, though it seems like something small, we can't overlook it. Galactus is one of the few villains on our list to really defy the definition of an evil-doer. He's compelled to destroy worlds because of one simple fact - he's hungry. Can't blame a guy for wanting a little snack… can you?

4) SHREDDER :-

Publisher Mirage Studios
First appearance Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1
(May, 1984)
Created by Kevin Eastman
Peter Laird

Alter ego               Oroku Saki
Team affiliations               Foot Clan
Abilities                                    Highly-skilled master of ninjutsu
            Peak physical condition
            Master of stealth
            Genius-level intellect
            Master strategist

Shredder, AKA Oroku Saki, is the arch-nemesis of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and their rat-master Splinter. A master in the art of Ninjutsu, Shredder is the leader of the Foot Clan, a fearsome group of warriors and assassins involved in organized crime.
In the original Mirage Comics, revered ninja Hamato Yoshi, once owner of Splinter (pre-mutation), played a key role in Shredder's corruption when he killed his brother in a feud over a woman. Hellbent on revenge, Shredder rose up through the ranks of the Foot Clan and ultimately travelled to New York where he destroyed the powerful Yoshi.
What Shredder didn't count on (we don't really blame him), is that Yoshi's pet rat would mutate into anthropomorphic form and become Sensei to a group of highly-skilled turtle ninjas (also anthropomorphic) and seek to avenge his death.
The Turtles' actually defeated Shredder during their first encounter with him, but a Foot Clan mystic brought the villain back to life using the worms that fed on his body. And lest you forget, the reanimated worm-Shredder's defeat was only short-lived, as he was brought back to life yet again as a Shark-like monster.
Shredder's classic look is samurai-inspired armor, with metal plaques on his shoulders, forearms, hands, and shins. The armor, creator Kevin Eastman says, was inspired by cheese graters. He sports a cape. And Shredder's face, except for his eyes, is obscured by a metal mask.
The Archie Comics version of Shredder, whom most children of the '80s would have come to know before discovering Eastman and Peter Laird's early work, is more of a goofball bad guy.
These issues were initially based on the animated series which saw Shredder take on several different wacky incarnations, including the Ch'rell Utrom version (a gooey stomach-brain creature who lived inside a fighting robot), in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series.
Shredder has appeared in all of the original TMNT videogames, often as the "boss" of the final level.

3) DR. DOOM :-

Publisher                   Marvel Comics
First appearance                  The Fantastic Four #5 (July 1962)
Created by                  Stan Lee
                 Jack Kirby

Alter ego Victor von Doom
Team affiliations Terrible Trio
The Cabal
Intelligencia
Future Foundation
Abilities
  • Genius-level intellect
  • Powered armour grants superhuman strength, flight, force fields, durability, and endurance
  • Skilled scientist and sorcerer
  • Mind transferral
  • Technopathy
  • Electricity manipulation
Victor Von Doom is, above all odds, a star in his own right. We don't know about the rest of you, but we consider him to be the fifth member of the Fantastic Four - a member of the series so integral that when he's not involved, we're decidedly less interested.
Doom boasts neither powers nor inherent abilities - a rarity for any being in his genre of comic books. Victim of a troubled past, Victor's mother was taken from him early in life. Seemingly since that time, Doom has sought to prove himself to his peers. Chief among those is Reed Richards, the one man who has proved equal and better to Victor's astonishing intellect. Doom's irrational obsession and animosity towards Mr. Fantastic and his family might be his only fault, the one obstacle keeping his from truly achieving his larger desires - the conquest of all his surveys. The Latverian monarch's ambition might be kept in check by the Fantastic Four and their friends, but if anything, his lust for power grows every day, becoming more and more brazen.
If his depth, characterization and legacy in the Marvel Universe weren't enough, Doom has one other accomplishment that few in the industry have managed - he's one of the inspirations for one of the most infamous characters in pop culture - Darth Vader. 

2) JOKER :-


Publisher DC Comics
First appearance          Batman #1 (Spring 1940)
Created by          Jerry Robinson (concept)
         Bill Finger
         Bob Kane

Team affiliations Injustice Gang
Injustice League
The Society
Club of Villains
Notable aliases Red Hood
Abilities
  • Genius-level intellect
  • Expert in chemistry and engineering
  • Proficient with knives and firearms
  • Skilled in hand-to-hand combat
  • Immunity to poisons
There was never any doubt in our minds the enigmatic, psychopathic Clown Prince of Crime would yield the top spot amongst DC Comics' villains. The Joker is the definition of a scene-stealing, deliciously wicked character, one that is quite possibly more interesting than his superhero counterpart.
A year ago we argued Joker wasn't necessarily Batman's greatest enemy, a fact which would clearly make his high rank here a bit of a mystery. Over the past year, however, three high profile projects reminded us why this character is absolutely one of the best ever created and developed throughout the history of superhero comic books. The Dark Knight, Joker and Batman R.I.P. are not only three of the greatest Batman stories ever created, but perfect examples of why the Joker is the quintessential comic book villain. He exists because of his enemy, and without creatures like the Joker, there would be no Batman. More importantly, this villain is capable of reinventing himself in various iterations, whether it's the savage, sadistic one in R.I.P., the chaos agent in Knight or even the light-hearted comedian from the animated series some 15 years ago.
A great villain isn't just capable of wicked deeds or murder. Depth and layer matter. Heroes and villains are inextricably linked, and just as the sign of a great hero is a great villain, the opposite is true. The Joker must stand up to and alongside the Caped Crusader. This is one of the rare villains to possibly do even more than that. As his movie role last summer proved, he can even surpass one of the greatest heroes of all time. That takes a special something.
