Top 5 Marvel Bad Guys

Much like yesterdays today's post is brought to you by the Avengers dvd and bluray release. So we are looking at the other side of the mirror with today's post from yesterday, with that being the heroes, with a look at my top five favorite bad guys in the Marvel universe. So lets get this show on the road.

5. Galactus: The world eater. How cool of a character is that, with his dimensional form being that of a giant humanoid clad in purple and blue. But when it comes to him it really comes down to his crazy concept of being the world eater, it's a crazy over the top concept of natural destruction. What also is cool about Galactus is his Heralds, which for one brings us one of my top 10 heroic characters... the Silver Surfer! Galactus has always been one of those grand cosmic characters of Jack Kirby's that just always blew my mind as being the precursor to the grander stuff he would bring us with his Fourth World stories.

4. Magneto: The master of magnetism. Holocaust survivor, super terrorist, and mutant supremacist. It's quite the list of titles for a character. I do find it kind of ironic that a man who survived the Nazis and the Holocaust would eventually warp his point of view to the point to see all those who aren't the same species as him should be eliminated or ruled. That said he has always been that bad ass over the top super villain of the most classic standers, and stayed that way for many years.

3. Red Skull: HAIL HYDRA! The evilest of the Nazis, this originally supposed to only be a one and done bad guy with his iconic look and potential for evil became the star spangled Captain America's greatest foe.

2. Ultron: Created by an Avenger, and creator of an Avenger Ultron is just an awe inspiring force of evil. The super robot that will or could come to rule the world and eliminate almost all of the Avengers. With the Ant-Man movie on its way I have high hopes of seeing potential for Ultron being teased for a future Avengers film. Ultron is also has an extremely unique look to inspire fear and terror in those he faces off against.




1. Doctor Doom: And I bring you Death. To me the most iconic of all super villains is Doctor Doom, who's look is said to be inspired by Death (the Grime Reaper). Doom being the extreme egomaniacal super villain dictator, with him being a super genius,
sorcerer, and dictator of the country of Latveria. This Kirby character is the embodiment of super villainy to me.
