Question Of The Day: Your Favorite Comic Book Villain?

And what makes them your favorite?

  1. the-overanalyzer reblogged this from gailsimone and added:
    At the moment? The Anti-Monitor. In a world of sympathetic, nuanced bad guys with a variety of motivations and...
  2. drsumac reblogged this from gailsimone and added:
    Hush from the original Jeph Loeb story and Paul Dini’s Heart of Hush. The original story is such a great mystery! Hush...
  3. aleksandersamuel said: Mr. Freeze, Harley Quinn and Mystique. I’ve never read a story, in which they were villanous, that wasn’t at the least entertaining.
  4. x-beni-o2-x said: The Rogues were my favorite villains (DCU, mostly under Wally’s run), Captain Cold especially. Not the nicest guy in the world, but when written well, he’s a great leader who cares about the people around him and has a strong personal code.
  5. crhodey said: Jason Wyngarde (aka Mastermind). Woefully underutilized, powerful beyond measure, former right hand of Magneto, snazzy dresser, sex symbol for the ages. He’d ugly and twisted and awesome, and nobody loves him but me.
  6. justcauseicanembracelife reblogged this from gailsimone and added:
    Easy - and both from the Batverse and both for similar but different reasons. Catwoman and Harvey Dent/Two Face....
  7. nakedpineapples said: Waylon Jones. He is one sexy bastard.
  8. hugintheraven said: Harley Quinn. Her arc is just so tragic, and I can’t see a way for it to get better.
  9. the-epimethean-boy reblogged this from gailsimone and added:
    Mister Nobody of The Brotherhood of Dada. Because sometimes a man just has to steal a blimp and pour buckets of horse...
  10. lightningspiral reblogged this from gailsimone and added:
    Ultron! I love the fact that he’s atypical for an evil AI villain. I like that he has a whole other set of traits, with...
  11. onegreatadventure said: James Gordon Jr from The Black Mirror
  12. silvianbruno said: Captain Cold and the Shocker, for similar reasons. The idea of blue collar villains who treat it like an actual job interests me, when so many enemies just shift their motivation to “Curse you XXXXX, I shall have my revenge!” sooner or later.
  13. entropyrulez said: SOLOMON GRUNDY. Basically a cross between the Hulk & a Zombie, he is a tragic, but super powerful creature. A great character for we Monster lovers—perfectly suitable in a slugfest or as a tragic figure (like Frankenstein’s Monster).
  14. violetstrychnine said: Leady Deathstrike was always one of my faves. I used to love those Silvestri Wolverine issues. ;)
  15. antiherobrand said: I would have to go with Deathstroke. He’s fought just about everyone in the DC Universe and even took down the Justice League in less than 10 seconds in the pages of Identity Crisis. Plus he’s way more badass than Deadpool, who was a blatant rip off.
  16. corvidae30 said: Luthor. I love a villain that can stalemate a hero, and I like the idea that with all Superman’s abilities, his greatest threat is only human. Perfectly matched so that neither can win, given both of them playing the rules. Same for Batman/Joker
  17. girl-in-c-major reblogged this from gailsimone and added:
    Deadpool, at least when he’s an antagonist. He has so much personality and gets all the best lines and is surprisingly...
  18. kawaiifive-o reblogged this from gailsimone and added:
    i loooove poison ivy especially when she’s played as an anti-villain she’s got legitimately noble goals but goes about...
  19. katzedecimal said: He’s only a villain on Tuesdays. The rest of the week he’s a hero, an anti-hero, an anti-villain, but all the time he’s a royal pain in the arse. He’s James Jesse, the first, the one and the only, the Trickster!
  20. nerdoutandproud said: Catwoman or Poison Ivy from the Sirens series!
  21. wholetthedorkin reblogged this from gailsimone and added:
    The Rouges have their own moral code and if you break it, they break you. Remember when they were tricked into killing...
  22. iskios said: Conceptually, it’s Brainiac. So alien, so difficult to divine his motives. In truth, it has to be a well written Darkseid. There is something about a being as powerful as Darkseid who still feels such needs to control others that fascinates me.
  23. revsoncorp reblogged this from gailsimone and added:
    FINALLY. A REASON TO TALK ABOUT COMIC BOOKS AT LENGTH![[MORE]] This is a tough question! I don’t think super hero books...
  24. roguestuff reblogged this from gailsimone and added:
    Oh boy….um…..probably…Bane is the first one to immediately pop into my head. He’s the guy who broke the Batman. I’m not...
  25. villainsdefiant said: (I was originally going to say Ragdoll, but he’s not really a villain. He’s his own person.)
  26. mrnexx said: It depends highly on what I’m reading at the time, though I think Magneto ranks high. You can empathize a bit with his desire to protect his people.
  27. meli-melancholia said: definetly loki because I can relate so much to him (even if this sounds crazy :D )
  28. handdrawnhero reblogged this from gailsimone and added:
    Good ole’ Harley Quinn. The Lucille Ball of Gotham City. From the first time I saw her, I fell in love. Why? First of...

    For me it’s Norman Osborn. And it’s because he’s one of the few villains I actually hate. I usually like comic book...
  31. otarsus said: I like Dr. Sivana because he’s a mad, mad scientist with a history of incredible feats (new elements named after himself, his own villain family, intangibility via math). If there is a villain parallel to Silver Age Superman, it’s Sivana.
