Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
We already know that being a super villain can be infinitely more fun than being the
good guy.
So youÕre bound to get a really awesome time when you have not just one, but a whole team
of baddies.
Indeed there are a whole bunch of really fun teams out there that, we gotta admit, kinda
outshine the heroes most times.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 SUPERVILLAIN TEAMS.
In the number 10 spot, we have CRIME SYNDICATE OF AMERICA.
These guys debuted in Justice League of America #29, and were an alternate version of the
justice league that existed in the reverse universe of Earth-3.
Members included evil incarnations of the justice league, such as Ultraman instead of
Superman and Owlman instead of Batman.
They were so powerful and malicious that they were able to overthrow police forces and basically
controlled the worldÑand they were total bored with that.
Coming in at number 9 IS DARK AVENGERS.
Because we have an evil JL, we gotta have an evil Avengers.
The Dark Avengers first appeared in their own self-titled series, and were a team assembled
by Norman Osborn.
You just know if green goblinÕs involved, itÕs not a good sign.
After being put in charge of the Superhuman defense initiative, he figured heÕd better
recruit a new avengers team that consisted of villains such as Daken, Ares, and Bullseye.
DonÕt sound like no avengers team to me.
They even masqueraded as heroes for a while, but that sure didnÕt last long.
Next, at number 8 WE GOT HYDRA.
Hydra is moreso a terrorist organization than a supervillain team, but I think we can all
agree their menacing and longstanding role as one of MarvelÕs meanest teams earns them
a spot here.
Originating in Strange Tales #135, Hydra was headed by Arnold Brown, who was then killed
off and left leadership to Baron Strucker and Red Skull, hence becoming a giant foe
to Captain America.
Just like their mythical name implies, no matter how many times theyÕre cut down, they
just seem to keep popping back up.
In the number 7 spot IS HELLFIRE CLUB.
TheyÕre not just bad guys, theyÕre bad guys with money.
The Hellfire Club is literally that: an elite club.
First appearing in Uncanny X Men #129, the Hellfire Club is stocked with rich and influential
members such as Selene, Emma Frost and Sebastian Shaw.
An inner circle is composed of the highest ranking members who use their place in society
to pursue their own agendas, such as defeating the X-men and starting up wars.
Rich people these days.
Coming in at number 6 IS THE SKRULLS.
The Skrulls have been around for a really long time, mostly because they are totally
fun and creepy villains.
First shown in Fantastic Four #2, they have gone on to wreck havoc across Marvel comics
with their war against the Kree.
They are a green, fierce alien race with the ability to shape shift, and theyÕve set their
sights on earth multiple times as a place to be conquered.
My advice?
Keep your windows closed at night.
Next up, at number 5 WE HAVE MASTERS OF EVIL.
Another team thatÕs been around for a long time and undergone many incarnations, the
masters of evil first appeared in the avengers #6.
They were originally a team of villains gathered by Nazi Baron Heinreich Zemo, to face off
against a revived Captain America.
That guyÕs apparently pissed off a lot of people.
The Masters of evil went through many changes in roster, which was awesome because it showcased
a lot of lesser-known villains.
You get bored reading about Magneto over and over again.
Up next at number 4 IS THE BROTHERHOOD OF EVIL MUTANTS.
WhatÕs more fun than mutants?
Evil mutants!
The brotherhood first debuted in x-Men #4, headed by Magneto.
They werenÕt just a team of villains who wanted to cause destruction and chaos, they
were a team of villains banded together by common belief that mutants were superior to
humans.
Original team memebrs included Toad, Quicksilver, Scarlet witch, and Mastermind.
Though the team and its ideals have shifted over the year, they remained one of the most
prominent X-men villain teams for years after.
In the number 3 spot WEÕVE GOT SINISTER SIX.
These guys are probably the most comprehensive team of poor SpidermanÕs villains.
First appearing in The amazing Spiderman Annual #1, the original team is composed of big names
such as Doc ock, Vulture, Sandman, and Kraven the hunter to name a few, villains all vying
to get their hands or tentacles or claws around spideyÕs throat.
What makes this team great is that most of the members are easily recognizable even to
the casual Spiderman fan, making them memorable and fearsome- whether itÕs the sinister 4,
or the sinister 7, or the sinister 12, or the sinister 682.
Coming in at number 2 IS BLACK LANTERN CORP.
These guys first appeared as a team in Green Lantern volume 4 #25, and theyÕve got one
of the most unique concepts for a supervillain team, scoring themselves high on the list.
The team is made up of deceased characters who are recruited to make up an army to support
Nekron, the lord of the unliving.
The most freaky thing about them is when theyÕre under the black ringÕs control, they crave
the hearts of those who are most emotionally affected by their resurrection.
So when great grandpa rises from the dead, youÕd be best to turn the other way.
And finally, in the number 1 spot WE HAVE THE SUICIDE SQUAD.
No matter the incarnation, the idea behind the most popular villain team around is the
reason theyÕve snagged the number one spot.
Villains being forced into the roles of heroes on dangerous missions theyÕll probably never
return fromÑwhatÕs not to love.
The first version appeared in the brave and bold #25 without the villain concept, and
then underwent a revamp to bring us all the team that we love.
Now if they could bring us a movie that we loved, that would be great too.
So those were the top 10 SUPERVILLAIN TEAMS.
