Top 10 Comic Book Villains

1. Bane. One of Batman’s arch nemeses, Bane seems to be as tough as steel. He has been an international crime lord, a mercenary, government agent and even a dictator. Did we mention he was raised in a prison?

2. Lex Luthor. What would Superman be without the famous Luthor? Not only is he one of the most intelligent men on earth, but also a billionaire. It all makes for a powerful opponent to the Man of Steel.

3. Magneto. Part of the X-Men comic series, Magneto was a survivor of the Jewish holocaust and is driven to protect mutants from that same fate. He would do anything for the benefits of mutants, and we do mean anything.

4. Victor Von Doom. The name itself instils a paralysing fear in anyone. He made himself king in the small European country of his birth and his next step is world domination.

5. The Joker. He makes people laugh and then kills them… some sense of humour. One of Batman’s most memorable enemies, he is a criminal mastermind like none other.

6. Dr. Octopus. Nothing like tentacles to give you a case of the shivers. Otto Ocatavius was just a scientist who created robotic arms. An accident fused them to his body and he lost his hold on sanity. He and Spiderman remain foes.

7. Loki. Thor has his hands full with his half-brother, Loki, the God of Mischief. Despite the family ties, Loki has a deep-seated hatred and jealousy of Thor.

8. Galactus. He debuted in the Fantastic Four and is the only survivor of a universe that existed before the Big Bang. Besides converting matter into energy and vice versa, he consumes planets for nourishment.

9. Apocalypse. As one of the first mutants on earth, he is one of the most powerful. Besides genetics adding to his clout, he has also undergone technological improvements – voluntarily.

10. Lady Deathstrike. She willingly became a powerful cyborg, gaining the same skeleton and claws to battle Wolverine. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, eh?
