When Galactus the world-eater shows up, he becomes everyone’s problem. With a slew of cosmic-powered henchmen at his side, Galactus is the one villain to beat. If you don’t, the result isn’t world domination, but world destruction. Galactus has destroyed countless worlds and killed billions of beings. His hunger will never end and therefore, neither will his destruction.

Genius, ex-president, criminal mastermind, businessman, sociopath. Superman’s number one bad guy is right near the top of the list of the all-time best super villains. While Lex doesn’t have magical powers, super strength, or any of the other things that make up the common super villain, he more than makes up this with his superior intellect and utter ruthlessness. Don’t get on his bad side. If you do, you can bet you won’t last long.

The Yin to Professor X’s Yang, Magneto will not rest until humanity takes its rightful place, behind that of the world’s superior race, mutants. Magneto has been the leader of a group of mutants whose sole mission is to make the world where mutants rule and humans are left behind on the road of evolution. Adding to the fact that he is arguably one of the most, if not ​the most powerful super-beings in the Marvel universe, Magneto is one of the greatest, tortured villains of all time.

The Joker is mad. Maybe that is what is so appealing about this character. Pain, morality, logical thinking and every other normal human trait go out the window when one thinks of the Joker. Combine his sanity with his penchant ability with toxic chemicals, and you have the makings of an unpredictable madman that can bring those around him to their knees.

The ruler of Latveria is one of Marvel comic’s greatest foes. His intellect and master of the mystical arts make this man one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel universe.

Crazed, powerful, and maniacal all come to mind with one thinks of Venom. Venom isn’t a person per SE, rather the costume is the villain in this case.

In every instance, the prime motivation of the costume has been to take down Spider-Man. Fortunately for us, that hasn’t happened yet.

If Darkseid can find this Equation, that he believes is locked within the minds of earthlings than our existence will be fearful indeed.

Ra’s al Ghul has been an iconic Batman super villain. His purpose is to cleanse the earth and restore it to an Eden-like state. The problem is, that most of humanity needs to die in the process.
