How incomplete does a superhero movie look without a supervillain? Superheroes owe these men their cult status. Thanos has been the Biggest Villain of Hollywood Cinema so far? Is it!
Marvel always has the greatest super villains in their universe that further add to the blockbuster status of their movies. We have tons of Marvel superheroes like Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four who have formidable cult fandom. But that status is owed in part to the villains.
In order to shine larger than life, hollywood superheroes need the greatest antagonists who are themselves formidable forms of awe.
This is what helps the hollywood superheroes garner their invincible status. There are tons of outstanding Marvel villains who are not powerful with an evil streak but have profound personalities. Marvel has a large wardrobe of Supervillains. Some Marvel villains are so powerful that they are capable of annihilating entire planets, including earth. While others are not that powerful, yet they are cunning and evil at heart.
Top 10 Greatest Marvel Villains
#1 Magneto
Magneto is one of the powerful mutants in the Marvel Universe. With the ability to generate and control magnetic fields, he is the primary villain in the X-Men storylines. His cult status spans across comics, TV productions and movies. In fact, he had a wide enough emotional range to even be an occasional ally and even a member of the X-Men some times.
One of the most powerful mutants ever, Magneto has a higher profile than most of the other mutants, good or bad, in the X-Men cannons.
In such instances, Magneto changes to the good side after Prof. Xavier and Co. somehow persuaded him to join X-Men in order to find a way of coexistence, for mutants and normal human beings. Moreover, in terms of character vitality, Magneto has a higher profile than most of the other mutants, good or bad, in the X-Men cannons.
#2 Thanos
Thanos is the greatest known villain in the Marvel universe after Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. Due to his abilities and credentials of destruction, he is known as the Dark Titan or Mad Titan. Strength combined with intelligence, a profound understanding of emotions, matter manipulation, invulnerability all made Thanos the biggest nemesis on screen ever.
Thanos has incomprehensible superpowers that earn him a true God-like status (not like the vulnerable ‘God’ status of Thor).
Thanos destroyed half of the Universe’s life with a single click of his fingers. He has appeared in other Marvel-endorsed products. The character is created by Jim Starlin and Mike Friedrich in the early ’70s, Thanos quickly became a mainstay in Marvel comics lore. Thanos’s name is enough to threaten almost every life in the Universe.
#3 Doctor Doom
Doctor Doom is not only Fantastic Four’s greatest villain but also a huge threat in other storylines of Marvel’s comics. Doom is a mortal human with a great thirst for power. He won’t stop at anything to achieve more power for himself.
In his relentless pursuit, Doctor Doom sold his girlfriend to demons to gain even more magical power.
Doom is so powerful that Dr. Strange faced the battle of his life when competing with him. Despite never having received a proper film adaptation in three movie appearances and two separate franchises, Dr. Doom remains a presence in the cultural zeitgeist.
#4 Galactus
The god-like being, Galactus has the power to devour planets. Galactus as a villain has become one of the greatest threats earth ever faced in Marvel Comics. V
So far in all storylines, no superhero has ever “succeeded” in defeating Galactus, the god-like being who devours planets.
His god-like abilities separate him from typical villains. He doesn’t destroy planets out of evil. Galactus does what he does out of necessity. His immense power consumption requires the energy of entire planets to sustain him.
#5 Loki
Loki, the Asgardian god of mischief can perhaps be called the greatest villain choice of fans of the Marvel Universe. He is behind numerous mayhems that attract Thor and other Marvel heroes. In fact, Loki is the reason why Avengers was made in the first place.
Marvel’s version of the clever antihero Loki showed up in the early ’60s wielding a number of impressive abilities.
Loki’s intellect often aids in his schemes, as does his ability to create illusions. His ability to fly, teleport, read minds and shapeshift have all come into play many times. Also, the fact that he inherits near-immortality comes to Loki’s cause quite often.
#6 Ultron
Ultron went popular after the release of Avengers Age of Ultron. He was a huge threat to the Avengers and the entire World. He originally was a creation of Hank Pym in order to help mankind.
Ultron’s appearance and power portfolio have varied from form to form, but a few abilities have stayed with him.
Superhuman speed, strength, and stamina, as well as the ability to fly, have long aided him in his quest against the Avengers. He is one of Marvel’s greatest villains that can never be truly destroyed and never truly defeated.
#7 Venom
Venom is a sentient alien sludge who first came into our lives in the mid-’80s. For a long time, Venom was considered to be the greatest villain in Marvel comics.
A liquid-like alien symbiote, Venom is one of the more creative and off-center villains Marvel writers have ever thought up.
Now it looks like venom’s character has changed. Venom has now Peter Parker’s good friend. Its original incarnation was an incredibly evil monster with a sadistic streak as long as its tongue.
#8 Carnage
Carnage is just like venom but an enemy of Spider-Man. Many geeks consider him as the greatest villain in Marvel comics. He was once a serial killer known as Cletus Kasady.
Carnage came to his current form after merging with the offspring of alien symbiote Venom during a prison breakout.
Unlike Venom, Carnage became less vulnerable to the high-pitched sounds which would normally stop Venom. However, Carnage is still vulnerable to intense heat.
#9 Apocalypse
Apocalypse is the world’s first mutant and the greatest villain in the Marvel Universe. Apocalypse is capable of almost anything. His mutant powers grant him the ability to control his form as he wishes.
Apocalypse can change its body, transforming its limbs into weapons, and even regenerate entire body parts.
For millennia he traveled the world, battling men like Thor and Dracula. Apocalypse inspires a cult of followers. In comics, he furthers the process of evolution. Apocalypse sees himself as the rightful master of the world, and with a vast array of powers.
#10 Red Skull
Red Skull has superhuman strength and a creepy face. He is emblematic of far too many aspects of villainy to list. The attributes were laid bare when he instigated Captain America’s turn to Hydra which culminated in the Secret Empire event.
With a creepy face, Red Skul is emblematic of far too many aspects of villainy and makes most villains look like Golden Age heroes.
Red Skull is the Nazi all other Nazis aspire to be. The guy makes most other villains look like Golden Age heroes. He wanted to rule the world as the master race of the planet. This, for some, makes him the greatest hollywood villain of the Marvel comics.
