We may not directly admit it, but no hero can be considered great, if no real challenging villain can antagonize him. The following are antagonists who appear in live-action versions of our favorite comicbooks. Who do you think among them is the best supervillain?
Zod
Strong in both body and mind, he is nearly equal to Superman himself except for his villainous nature. Appointing himself with the task of rebuilding his own world, Zod is the savior of his race inasmuch as the Man of Steel is the savior of Planet Earth.
While Superman mainly relies on swift, direct attacks, Zod employs strategies in addition to his strength, which is not only about what his body can give, but that of his will and determination as well.
Actor: Michael Shannon
Movie: Man of Steel
Loki
As the adoptive brother of Thor, he also serves as the archenemy of the latter and the villain of other superheroes as well. He is a god in human form -- strong, physically and durable. But this is not what makes him dangerous. Cunning, deceptive and persistent, he can be the ultimate antagonist of all the good guys on Earth, as well as in other dimensions.
Actor: Tom Hiddleston
Movies: Thor, The Avengers
The Joker
A psychopath schizophrenic with zero empathy, that's what this clown character is all about. He is not a superpowered villain, not even in the slightest angle, but he has proven to be very dangerous when pitted against high-powered heroes.
Casting all sorts of chaotic actions while having great fun in doing it, the Joker is regarded as one of the most dangerous villains in the superhero universe.
Actor: Heath Ledger
Movie: The Dark Knight
Ozymandias
Not really a villain since he was once a member of a superhero group called The Watchmen, he is declared as the “smartest man in the world” in the realm where is living and thriving in. He believes that in order to save billions, he must kill millions.
He could have been the greatest superhero, but he opted to be a villain according to the perception of his peers. He has shown great success in being a hero, a villain, and as a plain human being.
Actor: Matthew Goode
Movie: Watchmen
Ronan The Accuser
He is an antagonistic alien with an intellect and strategic mind that can make him achieve his goals with efficiency and ease. He is not purely evil though, as he is known to maintain a strict code of honor and nobility.
For that traits, he is known as one of the toughest characters to trifle with in our known galaxy.
Actor: Lee Pace
Movie: Guardians of The Galaxy
Ultron
Villainous, and dominant. His mind is that of a brilliant conqueror and a supercomputer. Deep down though, this android character, in spite of his sophisticated traits, is nothing different to a child with all the tantrums, playfulness and unpredictability.
His robotic persona is what he is most known for, but it is his highly developed artificial intellect that made him extremely dangerous.
Actor: James Spader
Movie: Avengers Age of Ultron
Apocalypse
There are many powerful super-humans in the world of comics, but this bad guy has been around long before the baddest of the bad came to be. He is equipped with a variety of powers along with the high intellect that goes with it. Because he is very, very old, he is dangerously experienced which makes him a very difficult foe to get entangled with.
If most villains are known for their skills and powers, this one is different, for he has his long list of experiences that make him a proficient supervillain.
Actor: Oscar Isaac
Movie: X-men: Apocalypse
Dr. Octopus
He is one of those scientific experiments that went awry, and in effect, the whole New York City pays the price. With an ingenuity that is on the level, if not greater than that of Spider-Man's, Dock Ock is one of the greatest itches that the Webhead has yet to eliminate.
Spider-Man might be a human arachnid, but the dude only has four limbs, which makes him a bit outmatched with this 8-limbed baddie.
Actor: Alfred Molina
Movie: Spider-Man 2
Sabretooth
As half-bother to Wolverine, he is the embodiment of all the worst things that the latter can bring: beastly manifestations, brutality and ferociousness. While Wolverine is often in control of it, Sabretooth just does the exact opposite.
His regenerative powers make him continuously young for many centuries, and it is the reason why he and Wolverine will remain in a heated rivalry for the generations to come.
Actor: Liv Schrieber
Movie: X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Red Skull
With a super-soldier serum running through his veins, he is the awakened monster that the near-perfect Steve Rogers is in a constant skirmish with. In addition to his superb fighting skills, The Red Skull is also a master strategist, which makes him a very feared villain as well.
World War II is already over, but for the Red Skull, it will always be war with Captain America.
Actor: Hugo Weaving
Movie: Captain America: The First Avenger
Who do you think among them should be declared as number 1?
