Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
The CwÕs arrowverse shows are chock full of rich and diverse characters who have been
properly fleshed out and serve a purpose.
Especially some of the villains.
That is, except for the ones that suck of course.
You canÕt win the villain lottery every time, I guess.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 WORST ARROWVERSE VILLAINS
In the number 10 spot, is LIVEWIRE.
Leslie Willis became a Supergirl villain after she gained electrical powers from a supposedly
fatal helicopter crash.
Though I like a nice simple origin story, this one was pretty avoidable as she would
have never been in that situation if she could just keep her mouth shut.
That seemed to be the ongoing theme with this one; just saying things for the sake of saying
things, and being mean for no reason.
She did have a redemption sacrifice though, but other than that, nothing too shocking.
Next, at number 9, we have NON AND INDIGO.
Another couple of Supergirl enemies, Non and Indigo were two peas in a pod, but they were
pretty small peas.
And the pod was pretty big.
If that makes sense.
While a man and his AI mistress are the set up for some fun, the characters fell quite
flat.
They were designed to balance each other out and fill up that pea pod, but couldnÕt quite
grow on us.
Plus Indigo was pretty creepy looking.
They were written off promptly, and nobody seems to care.
Coming in at number 8, WE HAVE CUPID.
Instead of having Harley Quinn featured on Arrow, which wouldÕve been awesome, we got
a kind of knock off character in the form of Carrie cutter.
She was an arrow-obsessed police officer turned killer who had a stint on the suicide squad.
Now while the character was fun for a while, the overt campiness wore off and she was just
an embarrassment to herself.
Girl, there is more to life than chasing after a pretty man face.
In the number 7 spot, IS CYBORG SUPERMAN.
Apparently Supergirl does not have the best villains out of the CW shows.
While cyborg superman had an interesting life in the comics, the character barely scratched
the surface on the show.
He was Lillian LutherÕs bulky hitman, and thatÕs about it.
He didnÕt even have an S on his chest or a proper costume or anything, so how were
we supposed to know who he was?
Oh, other than the constant reminders of being cyborg superman, cyborg superman, cyborg superman.
Up at number 6, we got VANDAL SAVAGE.
What could have been a brilliant villain for Legends of tomorrow turned out to be a funny
looking caricature of a man.
He was portrayed more as a lovesick teen obsessed with Hawkgirl than a immortal and genius tactician.
Casper Crump is perhaps one of the better actors of the show, but itÕs hard to work
with a character that the writers obviously didnÕt take the time to proof read and edit.
Coming in at number 5, is MIRROR MASTER.
A guy who loves mirrors, how can this go right anyway.
After an accident with a particle accelerator, Sam Scudder gained the ability to travel through
mirrors.
The comic version spent a lot of time tempering this ability into something useful, but the
guy we saw on the Flash was a bit of a fool who never posed a real threat.
But I mean, mirror travel.
The guy really didnÕt have a leg to stand on.
Next up, at number 4, we have MR MXYZPTLK.
This impish Superman villain is insanely powerful and insanely amusing.
At least in the comics.
On Supergirl, the show decided to turn him into a pretty boy toy.
Nope nope nope.
Look, you can keep his power set the same, you can keep him light hearted and silly.
But if you try to portray him as anything other than an irritating imp, are you even
really using the character?
Up next at number 3, is CAPTAIN BOOMERANG.
Not that this guy has ever been a good villain, but he did have a chance.
In his debut in the Flash and Arrow crossover, he was actually taken seriously for once.
At last we had a captain boomerang served justice!
However, that all ended real fast when he was tossed in jail and forgotten.
Then he was remembered, but only because the show wanted to kill him off, and not even
actually on screen.
So no, no good captain boomerang for us.
Not now, not ever.
WeÕve lost hope.
In the number 2 spot, we got BRICK.
ArrowÕs Danny Brickwell likes to hurt stuff.
ThatÕs basically all we ever found out about the kind of person he was.
He barely was one dimensional, and he barely resembled his comic book counterpart.
Sadly actor Vinnie Jones hasnÕt had much luck portraying villainsÑhis Juggernaut from
X men the last stand was a disaster as well.
SomebodyÕs gotta toss a brick at this one.
And finally, in the number 1 spot, we have SAVITAR.
This Flash villain tops the list for being the biggest let down.
What followed a huge twist on the showÑthat Savitar was a future Barry AllenÑalso became
the biggest head scratcher.
Yes, he was more powerful and faster than the Flash.
ThatÕs all he had going for him, and that was not enough.
His story was confusing, not satisfying.
His goal of killing Iris was threatening but ridiculous.
Time can be a precarious thing in tv shows.
The Flash still has a lot to learn in this category apparently.
So those were the top 10 worst villains from the arrowverse.
Let me know in the comment section down below which villains you cannot stand.
