sometimes the extremes that supervillains will go to are so terrible
and heinous that their actions are unthinkable there's been plenty of times
in the comics in which a baddie has pulled off some atrocious scheme leaving
their respective universe changed usually for the worst others have
committed crimes that we would consider beyond the depths of what's humanly
possible it's pretty grim stuff so today we are venturing into that dark
territory with our list of the top ten times supervillains went too far that's
some of the numbers on our list are quite recent so heads up for a handful
of spoilers my friends will stay what issue they're from at the start of the
number or what story event it is so you guys can skip ahead if need be
alright with that in mind let's get to it in at number 10 Ultron
so speaking of relatively recent storylines let's talk about what Ultron
has been up to lately concerning Hank Pym
oh poor Hank Pym dude could never really catch a break can he during a story
called the all of you all different Ultron Ultron and Hank are combined into
a single being and then return to Earth it later turns out that this is really
just Ultron basically wearing Hanks skin and then during the infinity countdown
event Ultron decides that he wants to get his robotic hands on the Infinity
stones he manages to get the soul stone and after executing Adam warlocks evil
hath Negus it's revealed that Hank sold the piece of it living within Ultron
becomes trapped inside soul world's and is later consumed by the horrific entity
Devin drew a monster within soul world who is corrupting it so it appears that
Hank Pym is maybe dead with Ultron still walking around in his flesh like I said
dude can never catch break up next the nine Sinestro and the ultraviolet Corps
in the recent Justice League vol 4 issue 2 comic we were introduced to a new
facet of the universe something called the ultraviolet pour a new group of
Lantern Corps that the villain Sinestro immediately took advantage of after he
manages to get one of the ultraviolet power rings
he pays Green Lantern Jon Stewart a visit and then assimilates him into the
ultraviolet core then commands him to go after the Justice League if that wasn't
bad enough he then uses this newfound power to transform a bunch of beings
across the galaxy into slaves for the ultra violet Corps arguably create
one of the biggest armies in the history of the Lantern Corps all together
terrifying stuff objects and aids bein in the bats back one of the most iconic
moments in which a villain has gone too far is found within the famous Batman
nightfall story er we're talking about that time the Bane broke Batman's back
Bane having systematically outsmarted The Dark Knight and managing to cripple
him in the process it's also roughly around the time when Bane debuted in
1993 with the story running from 1993 to 1994 it was a devastating encounter that
had much grander implications on Batman stories moving forward the cowl was
taken over by a character named Azrael who almost all but ruined Batman's
reputation thinks his violent mythologies all in all vain breaking his
back led to a whole lot of earth-shattering consequences or at
least been Gotham City it did speaking of Batman villains in at number
7 hushed cuts out of heart oh hush aka Tommy Elliot has mad beef with Bruce
Wayne the two were childhood friends until Tommy Fjeld killed his parents by
cutting the brake lines of their car kind of a deal-breaker in a friendship
with Bruce this is like I lost my parents and you killed yours you dick
I'm sure he didn't think that but maybe maybe he did who knows now flush for
words of the heart of hush storyline hush decides he's going to go after
Batman in a more personal way after he learns the Caped Crusader's civilian
identity posh hunts down Catwoman Selina Kyle and cuts her heart out that's one
way to metaphorically gut-punch Batman in the gut barely clinging to life Bruce
finds her and manages to save her but not without suffering some serious
emotional trauma the image of Batman standing over Selena's bed with a
plethora of tubes swarming into a hole within her chest is quite guttural at
best aunt number 6 eating faces probably not a phrase I
should say with a big smile on my face but anyway we were talking about a
villain flamingo at this number flamingo might not be one of Batman's
most well known members of his rogues gallery but he surely is one of the most
terrifying introduced in Batman issue 666 huh he is a mentally disturbed
individual who is the textbook definition of psychopath but also taken
to the extreme brainwashed by the mob to become the perfect hitman he ended up
murdering all of his family members as a means of disconnecting himself to any
ties that could find their way back to him as one does when you're an assassin
if that wasn't bad enough though he then takes it one step further by eating his
family's faces yes he literally pulls some cannibals
and eats his victims faces and it's not because of some psychotic misguided
belief that eating others will make you stronger or smarter steal their energy
what-have-you he just enjoys doing it which really might just be worse overall
actually it is worse overall that's just just think about that image I'm sorry ah
in at five mojo for the views mojo has always been a gross and gluttonous
character great in 1985 he's an absurdist parody of a network television
executive on the worlds you rules he produces a gladiator style reality
television show that his civilians are addicted to and he's always looking for
ways to increase his ratings so in 2018 in x-men blue and a crossover called
mojo worldwide he took things to the next level
he invade in New York and kidnapped a bunch of x-men which he then put into
events that simulated traumatic moments from their history and broadcast all of
this to the entire world to witness yeah that's dumb for sure imagine having to
relive some of the worst moments of your life all in front of a global audience
yeah no thank you he eventually tries to transform New
York into a new mojo world too but fails thanks to an onslaught by the remaining
x-men oh and at number four skinned alive the Joker has pulled some pretty
messed-up stuff over the years no argument there but one of the most
memorably horrific moments in his criminal career had to be when he
skinned someone alive all because that individual had disrespected Harley Quinn
say what you will of their toxic relationship but at least the Joker has
her back if anyone else tries to screw with her I mean doesn't make that
toxicity okay but you know at least is not all that terrible anyhoo in Brian
Azzarello is Joker graphic novel the Clown Prince of Crime ends up
discovering that one of his old henchmen has made quite the name for himself
since Joker was locked up in Arkham but he also learns that this fellow who goes
by the name of Monty hired Harley Quinn to dance at his strip club Joker ain't
cool with that so V skins Monty alive logically that's
how you solve that problem right just skinned your enemies alive to make
matters even worse he then pushes Monty out onto the stage of a strip club
skinned alive solely so that the XQ can see what it feels like to be seen as a
piece of meat talk about a wicked sense of humor but would you expect anything
less from the Joker and a number gamora AKA recrea this number concerns
the recent Marvel infinity war storyline so spoilers abound friends and 2018
Kimora turned back to the dark side taking at the name of recrea and a quest
to collect all the infinity gems not only was she made incredibly Opie during
the story arc taking out the likes of both Santos and Adam warlock in the
process but she would go on to do the unthinkable
she used the stones to take the 6-1-6 universe and basically fold it in half
so to speak this combined character is giving us the
likes of the soldiers supreme for example an amalgamation of Doctor
Strange and Captain America all of the all of these characters histories were
combined as well and they all believe that things have just always been like
this it was a brand new take on the Marvel Universe and while it was a
really fascinating one it was us the one that was inherently erroneous luckily
her actions were reversed and the universe returned to its former self in
at number two Bane meadows with the bats happiness well breaking Batman's back
and destroying his reputation gets Bane some major points on this list this next
tactic of his is arguably even worse and destroyed Bruce Wayne even further
making the bat more prominent and important than the man beneath the cowl
in Volume three of Batman issue 50 a very controversial thing happen never
contacts this part of the series is ruined by Tom King and leading up to
this issue Batman and Catwoman had become engaged it was a big deal Batman
was getting married but then issue 50 rolled around the issue that was
supposed to be their wedding and to many fans outraged the two didn't end up
tying the knot after all King actually received death threats about this and
was forced to walk around with security at public events he attended for a good
chunk of time afterwards and he knew the reason why they didn't tie the knot was
because Selena's friend Holly had indirectly convinced her that the world
needs Batman and it would be selfish if Selina kept him all to herself by
getting married damn Catwoman then calls off the wedding but at the very end of
the issue it was revealed that Holly was actually manipulated by none other than
Bane to convince Catwoman to do so it was hinted to that this was Bane's plan
all along to break the bat in another way that was
much less physical and much more emotional talk about screwing with your
enemy and finally in a number one Joker from injustice stealth Superman that's
lesson we learned right off the bat at the beginning of the injustice series
when Joker takes things a level two at the Man of Steel now it's one thing
to psychologically and emotionally torture Batman he's made for that crap
but Superman well if you're gonna trick the arguably most powerful superhero in
the DC mythos to murder his own wife along with his unborn child that his
wife was carrying I mean you got to be prepared for the consequences maybe not
the best of ideas Superman reacts to this by punching his
fists right through the Joker's chest much to Batman's dismay look at that
shock that face ah this acts as a catalyst for the severely dystopian
world of injustice for Superman becomes a totalitarian tyrants ruling over the
world in determining what justice is his regime is incredibly oppressive and
leads to a metahuman war and rebellion led by none other than the darknet
himself because of course he's got to leave the rebellion all right there we
