counting down our picks for the top 10
scariest superheroes
when you are for this list we'll be
looking at the most unsettling
superheroes depicted in comic books tv
and film while some of these characters
could be described as anti-heroes or
avoiding any full-on villains which
superhero unnerves you the most let us
know in the comments
number 10
moon night
you probably know all about the dark
knight but what about the moon night
[Music]
this marvel hero was described by ign as
being batman with disassociative
identity disorder and that's actually a
canon diagnosis
rise and live again
as my fist of vengeance
as my
moon night
a marine turned mercenary who is
betrayed by his colleague he's saved and
protected by the egyptian moon god
khanshu he then commits his life to
fighting for justice if that sounds like
a lot of superheroes consider that this
one has numerous alter-egos these
include billionaire cab driver and his
own masked representative mr knight uh
steven what the hell are we wearing
i don't know she said i needed a suit
yeah the ceremonial armor from conscious
temple not psycho colonel sanders with
his backstory and willingness to
absolutely brutalize his opponents moon
knight is one complex and intense
superhero we're just glad an actor is
great as oscar isaac is playing him
come on
gotcha
number nine
rorschack
your term doctor
tell me
what do you see
alan moore's acclaimed comic series
watchmen both deconstructed the
superhero genre while offering great
hero characters
or in this case an anti-hero excuse me
have to visit men's room
oh for christ's sake
rorschach named for his inkblot mask is
both the watchman's most famous member
and it's scariest with his mask
trenchcoat and fedora rorschach is
pretty frightening based on image alone
but it's the vigilante's dedication to
stamping out evil at all costs that
makes him so unsettling no don't
don't do that
described by more as a nutcase and
played a great effect by jackie earl
haley in the watchmen film rorschach is
haunted by his past and is unable to
cope in the world because of it in other
words she's both frightening and
fascinating i'm not locked in here with
you
you're locked in here with me number
eight
dream
which one have i got
dream
neil gaiman's graphic novel the sandman
is considered to be one of the finest
examples of dark fantasy and it comes
with an appropriately scarred and scary
protagonist known by many names
including morpheus and the sandman dream
is an endless a being greater than any
gods in terms of age and ability and the
years haven't always been kind to him
after spending 70 years imprisoned dream
ruler of the realm known as the dreaming
gets revenge on his captors while he's
on the side of good dream struggles with
personal development and change heroic
but not heartwarming and with a default
appearance that screams goth dream and
his adventures might just give you
nightmares you're gonna need all the
help you can get
number seven
hellboy
[Music]
the name hellboy might not scream hero
to you and this character has one
complicated backstory a half demon who's
summoned by rasputin on behalf of the
nazis towards the end of world war ii
he's intended to be an agent of evil
instead he becomes a literal agent of
good fighting against forces of darkness
as a member of the bureau for paranormal
research and defense
[Music]
his red skin tail and filed down horns
make him look like the cousin of satan
but hellboy is a friendly sort shown
most notably in two films starring ron
perlman
i'm on your side
sure
there is one way to ensure you get on
his bad side however be a bad guy number
six the crow gentlemen
vengeance is a common theme in superhero
stories and few capture the pain of
seeking justice better than the crow
victims
aren't we all in james obar's original
graphic novel a man named eric sees his
girlfriend killed and loses his life in
one night but he's revived by a very
special bird who leads him to seek
retribution against his assailants he
was already dead
he died a year ago the moment he touched
her
they're all dead
they just don't know it yet less of a
superhero and more of an undead goth
vigilante eric brings new meaning to the
word a murder of crows
while he seeks out people who commit
truly heinous acts he does so in such a
cold-blooded and brutal way so he can't
help but be frightened by him if revenge
is a dish best served cold the crow
hasn't even begun defrosting your job
would be to tell the rest of them that
death is coming for them
tonight
tell them eric draven sends his regards
number five punisher like many
superheroes the punisher fights
criminals and evil doers but how he goes
about it is decidedly different this
anti-hero doesn't have a colorful
costume and outrageous powers instead he
has a skull shirt his muscles and more
guns than you can count
i'll dance with you
after a veteran known as frank castle
loses his wife and children at the hands
of the mob he goes on a bloody crusade
with little room for mercy let me put
you out of my mystery
this is just the beginning while he
might not possess any supernatural
abilities the punisher is scary not only
for his incredible brawn and ability to
dish out pain but also for his mind
which is both incredibly obsessed and
focused most superheroes use violence in
some way but the punisher is one who's
defined by it frank castle is dead
call me
the punisher
number four swamp thing
for the sake of physical classification
swamp thing is a monster but this dc
hero could hardly be described as
monstrous though he is rather protective
of his home turf
after losing his sister in nearly his
own life scientist alec holland
re-emerges though quite a bit greener
than before you might call him the
superhero from the black lagoon as he
possesses powers like super strength as
well as the ability to control plant
matter while there have been numerous
swamp things since the character's debut
in 1971 you can count on his complexion
and care for the place he calls home
don't bother swamp thing and he won't
bother you say hello to your boyfriend
baby
number three spawn think you've been to
hell and back try telling that to this
superhero you sent me to hell jason
i'm here to return the favor
albert francis simmons a cia agent and
former marine finds his moral compass
growing much to the chagrin of his boss
director jason nguyen after being
ordered dead and sent to the underworld
simmons makes a literal deal with the
devil he becomes a hellspawn wandering
the world with his memory all but wiped
spawn decides to make things hell for
bad guys on earth doing all his best to
not run out of necroplasm it's a little
early for halloween simmons where you're
going
every day is halloween
though he offers protection for those in
need he also delivers brutal justice to
perpetrators of heinous acts in other
words he's one hell of a superhero give
my regards to your boss
tell him he's next
number two
batman
[Music]
we know batman is one of the most
popular characters let alone superheroes
of all time but have you ever stopped to
consider just how scary he is
[Music]
who are you working for
the backstory of young bruce wayne
seeing his parents killed and making it
his mission to fight against gotham's
underworld is well established and it's
no coincidence that someone with such a
bleak origin is known as the dark knight
like a bat batman is typically seen at
night though if you cross paths with him
we hope you haven't done anything wrong
it's not just as cowl incredible
strength or numerous gadgets that make
batman such an intimidating figure it's
that he will go as far as he does to
find justice and protect his city i'd
like you to do me a favor i want you to
tell all your friends about me where are
you
i'm batman

number one ghost rider
we don't want to judge a book by its
cover but if your head is a flaming
skull we're going to keep our distance
[Applause]
ghost rider is a marvel superhero who
might be more incredible than the hulk
at least in terms of appearance the
first supernatural rider stun cyclist
johnny blaze struck a deal with the
devil mephisto in hopes of saving his
ailing adopted father things backfire
and he ends up bonding with a demon if
he's around any evil blaze will indeed
get heated and become the fearsome and
fiery ghost rider you
