Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
Just because people slap you with the label of super villain, doesnÕt mean youÕre 100%
bad guy all around right?
There is always some sliver of humanity left in the villains to feel with and for us to
feel for.
ItÕs not all about conquering the world and enslaving everyone.
Well, sometimes it is.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 SYMPATHETIC SUPERVILLAINS.
In the number 10 spot IS DR DOOM.
The Marvel villain did not come into the world a blessed man.
His sorceress mother died of illness, his father was sentenced to death and forced to
flee, leading to his death as well.
The reason he became who he is, is because of an experiment gone terribly wrong when
he was just trying to communicate with his deceased mother.
So heÕs full of anger and pain, yet he still tries to be a good guy sometimes, like when
he teamed up with Dr Strange in the graphic novel triumph and torture.
Or when heÕs delivering babies on the side!
Next, at number 9 WE HAVE KINGPIN.
MarvelÕs Wilson Fisk may just come off as your typical tony Soprano mob boss, but thereÕs
so much more behind him than just a guy who wants to own the city.
Despite a heart of evil, thereÕs a large piece of it thatÕs deeply devoted to his
wife, and he would do anything for her; be it quit crime for a bit or kidnap a therapistÕs
wife to convine him to help her after her supposed death and come back.
WouldnÕt a nice check be enough?
TherapistÕs feelings aside, isnÕt that the gesture of love??
In the number 8 spot IS PROMETHEUS.
Not the guy who stole fire and gave it to humans, although that was totally nice of
him to do.
Nobody likes a raw chicken leg.
Prometheus from Dc was the son of 2 hippie criminals who got caught and gunned down by
law enforcement.
From then on he created the image in his mind that justice and the law were evil and he
swore he would do whatever he could with his skills and the inordinate amount of money
left to him to stop the police force from oppressing the innocent.
Innocent in his eyes, of course.
Up at number 7, WE GOT BANE.
He broke the BatÕs back and we can guarantee heÕs broken a lot more than just that.
But what Bane doesnÕt break is his loyalty, strangely enough.
The DC villain, who is notorious for being merciless but also seems a lot more human
than most, was raised behind bars and only knew a life of everyone for themselves.
However, he did a total 180 in Batman Bane of the Demon and started a career as a hero.
All because he thought Batman was his stepbrother.
Turns out later they were never related and he returns to villainy, but just goes to show
you that family matters to him.
Coming in at number 6 IS LIZARD.
As always, an experiment gone wrong led to the creation of this Marvel villain.
All he wanted was his arm back.
Now heÕs stuck looking like this.
You gotta feel bad for him.
As a lizard he hates humanity but as a human he still has a good heart and wants to do
good; heÕs helped Spiderman on numerous occasions, one prominent one being developing a cure
for Aunt MayÕs poisoning.
Such a monstrous creation still has a heart, so you have no excuse to be an asshole.
Next up, at number 5 WE HAVE BLACK ADAM.
Most people know this guy as huge jerk of the Dc world, but thereÕre reasons behind
it.
He was corrupted by his powerful abilities and decided they qualify him to rule the world.
So he usurps the Egyptian throne but is then banished.
Sucks to be him, but thatÕs what happens when you overstep your bounds.
However, he his wife Isis in the new 52 and she brought out the kind heart in him.
He started a family.
He became a benevolent and caring leader.
Then everything he loves is ripped away from him again and itÕs back to villainy.
All he wanted was to protect his people.
Up next at number 4 is HARLEY QUINN.
She was an accessory to the JokerÕs villainy, but Harley herself was never acting out of
the need to hurt people or take over the world or any of those clichŽs.
She was driven by love.
Maybe obsessive love, but love nontheless.
Ever since releasing the joker from Arkham Asylum, her motives have all been based in
keeping their relationship strong, at least in her eyes.
And to think she was even a psychologist in the first place to understand and help her
fractured family.
It all comes down to the unrequited emotions this girl has for crappy people.
In the number 3 spot IS HARRY OSBORN.
Harry Osborn was one of SpidermanÕs closest friends, and itÕs really quite tragic what
happened between them.
As the son of the Green Goblin that Spidey is kind of responsible for killing, Harry
followed in his dadÕs footsteps, and it was basically all downhill from there.
But friendship is strong and Harry occasionally shows sympathy for his rival.
Especially when he ends up sacrificing himself for peter in the end.
My tears have yet to dry, donÕt judge.
Coming in at number 2 WE GOT MAGNETO.
Magneto was a survivor of the Holocaust, where he lost so much and gained a new anger and
hatred toward the human race.
He lives in fear of what should happen should humans ever try to persecute mutants, and
hence he is at odds against Charles Xavier and his petition for peaceful coexistence.
The solution to Magnto?
Wipe out the human race.
Which seems pretty evil to us.
HeÕs only looking out for his species and wanting whatÕs best for him.
And I mean, I wonÕt lie, humans can be pretty terrible.
And finally, in the number 1 spot WE HAVE BIZZARO.
This poor guyÕs life is so backwards that he believes he IS the hero, and he believes
he is doing good.
As the polar opposite to Superman, he smashes and crashes and doesnÕt understand what heÕs
doing causes harm.
He just wants to be loved and accepted and find a place to fit in with society, but his
backward thinking and quite frankly his stupidity donÕt seem to allow for that.
ItÕs kind of hard when everything you try to save dies.
So those were the top 10 SYMPATHETIC SUPERVILLAINS.
Let me know in the comment section down below who you think is the kindest supervillain.
