Ra's is my favorite villian. Love 'im.

Didn't know about Dr. Doom and what he did to his ex. That's fucked up.

Voted for 8, though only five really deserved a vote.



Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi

Magneto was my first choice. Everything else was a toss up.

Mojo works as a super villain in that he can be used by a writer as a satire of something that is overly present in modern culture (ie: reality television). He's an excellent villain if you think about it like that.

Kingpin and J Jonah Jameson are considered dictators? If they are shouldn't Lex Luthor be on the list?

Magneto-- [Timeless anti-hero. A man to be both respected and feared]

Grodd-- [Crazy psychopath monkey. Torn between the JLU intelligent version and the crazy flesh eating comics version, who seems to have rabies]

Apocalypse-- [Unstoppable mutant who has planned his ascension since the days of ancient Egypt. From the virus he infected Cable with at birth, to his relationship with Mr. Sinister, to the Age of Apocalypse]

Thanos-- [Wondering nomad plotting the end of reality itself. Practically unstoppable, and played the anti-hero part in Marvel: The End and his own series quite well]

Doom-- [Doom is a force of nature. He rules his own country with an iron fist, and his ascension by trading in his ex-lover was beautiful]

Kang-- [No real reason, he's just a constant thron in the Avengers' side and I find him amusing.]

Ra's-- [Batmans deadliest foe. Ra's is one of the best villains ever concieved, and his motives are very sound indeed]

Kingpin-- [90's cartoon, his control over NY, and even his fall from grace in Bendis' Daredevil run]


"Now TV's all about format these days isn't it, and I've got a new type for you right here. Its me and Paris Hilton driving around in a car....
