Top 10 SCARIEST SUPER VILLAINS
INTRO: Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa
and this is Top 10 Nerd.
WeÕve already got our list of scariest superheroes, but how can we forget our super spooky, super
creepy villains?
I mean, at least heroes are trying to do some good, despite being freak shows half the time.
But these villains?
The scarier they are, the better to try and take over the world or whatever evil plan
they have in store.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 scariest supervillains.
In the number 10 spot we have RED SKULL.
The archenemy of Captain America is a frightful villain on several different terms.
For one, he is HitlerÕs right hand man and a Nazi general officer hell bent on genocide
and world domination.
For another, he isnÕt past turning on his own to climb to the top of the ladder, no
matter how violent the means.
And if those arenÕt scary enough, just take a look at the manÕs mask.
No further explanation needed, anyone with a red skull for a face should be avoided at
all costs.
Coming in at number 9 is STYX.
Styx is one of LegionÕs personalities that escaped David HallerÕs mind after the Age
of X events.
Not even considering the demonic appearance he manifests, but this guy survives off devouring
souls, and has the ability to absorb a soul and consciousness with one touch, even controlling
the bodies of his victims.
To make matters creepier and pretty gross, he very often utilizes an army of flies to
do his bidding.
Reminds me of that death by flies cheat in the Sims.
So the next time you see a swarm of flies, I would run if I were you.
Next, at number 8 we got VICTOR ZSASZ.
One of BatmanÕs villains prides himself on liberating people of their pointless existences.
Yeah, this guy thinks heÕs doing his victims a favor.
And to mark each and every favor he does, he carves a tally point into his own skin.
By now heÕs covered in hundreds of marks, and continues to do so because killing gives
him a reason to live after squandering all his money at the casino.
As he once told a psychiatrist in the Batman Chronicles, he kills because he chooses to.
As simple, and terrifying, as that.
In the number 7 spot is THE BROOD.
These parasitic beings are the villains that come first to mind when asked the question,
Òwhat would best fit in an apocalyptic superhero movie?Ó.
Not only do they have the insect-like, fanged, stingy appearance to fit the role, but in
order to reproduce, they must infect hosts with their eggs.
Once the eggs have fully formed embryos, the host is killed and becomes a part of the brood.
And these guys enjoy the suffering they cause as well.
Especially that time they took over the x-Men and made them brood warriors.
Coming in at number 6 we have DARKSEID.
Modeled after Hitler, Darkseid is the cruel leader of the planet Apokolips, that position
should tell you enough about him.
He murdered his own brother Drax to lay claim to the power of the omega force, had his own
mother poisoned, although to be fair she was kind of asking for it.
And he and his army wiped out half the Amazonian race at one point.
He is considered one of the ultimate threats of the DC universe.
God and all powerful and evil do not make for very happy superheroes.
Next up, at number 5 is DOOMSDAY.
Another terrifying and powerful villain of Superman is Doomsday, a villain created with
physical power to match Supes, rather than having another that relied on tech or smarts.
Not only does this fact make him scary, but hereÕs his backstory: he was created through
releasing a humanoid baby onto KryptonÕs hostile lands, having the baby killed over
and over, and collecting the surviving remains to create a better creature each time.
Not only did the child keep his best parts, but also the agony from each and every death.
Now you know why heÕs such an ass.
Up next at number 4 is KILLER CROC.
Waylon Jones isnÕt just a campy villain similar to the likes of Shark King, heÕs actually
the victim of a terrifying backstory.
He is the sufferer of a rare disorder of atavism, which is a fancy term for evolutionary throwback.
This means heÕs regained reptilian traits that have been lost to years of evolution,
and this has developed over time to the point of robbing him of his humanity, both physically
and mentally.
This, and years of abuse at the hands of his aunt, have transformed him into one of the
scariest and, quite frankly, saddest villains out there.
In the number 3 spot, we have BLOODY MARY.
You guys all remember that urban legend about standing in the mirror and saying Bloody MaryÕs
name 3 times?
And you remember how freaky the myth was right?
Well, Marvel loves us so much that it brought one of our worst childhood fears to the pages.
Thanks guys.
Batwoman volume 2 introduced us to Mary Worth, who, to be worthy of her name, is intent on
collecting faces so that she can wear them.
Yeah, she couldnÕt settle for a nice rock collection, or hey, novel idea, how about
a comc book collection?
Coming in at number 2 is THE JOKER.
You already knew he was going to sweep this list.
First off, the fact that he is a clown already triggers thousands of peopleÕs phobia.
And I donÕt blame them; clowns are creepy.
ThatÕs why we have It coming out in September about them.
But what makes this guy perhaps the most striking of terror is the ambiguousness of his backstory,
for one; it is constantly changing and nobody knows exactly what trauma went down to make
the manÕs mind snap the way it did.
And of course, the fact that he just wants to watch the world burn.
No other motive is needed.
Just rain the chaos down.
And finally, in the number 1 spot, weÕve got CARNAGE.
Carnage is the offspring of the Venom symbiote, add in about a hundred times more bloodlust.
The character was actually modeled off the Joker according to artist Erik Larsen.
Cletus KassadyÕs terrifying moments began in his youth, where his kills included his
grandmother, dog, and basically anyone who cheesed him off.
Bonding to the offspring symbiote on exacberated his violent tendencies.
We may have pretty bad people in our world, but be glad none have bonded to an evil parasitic
entity.
So those were the top 10 scariest super villains.
Let me know in the comment section down below which of these villains freaks you out the
most.
