Most evil comic book characters

The list goes:

1) Dr. Doom

2) Dark Phoenix

3) Galactus

4) Death

5) Magneto

6) Mephisto

Red Skull

Thanos

darkseid and joker and thanos

I don't think Magneto belongs on this list, He was never a "bad guy" He was just doing what he thought was right for his people(mutants). He sees the persecution of humans necessary to there survival, mutant that is. Where he goes wrong is seeing regular people as lesser beings because they don't have some kind of special power. Therefor. he thinks that the means justify the end. So I wouldn't say he's evil, just misguided.

As for most evil I'd have to say Red Skull and Joker take the cake.

Red Skull is the number one for me. Full of nothing but hate and doesn't have a single redeeming factor.

I don't think Galactus is evil. Nor would I put Doom and Magneto in the 'most' evil group either. Both have done evil things, but do them for what they think is right and not for pure destructive purposes.

I could recommend my most evil, insane, psychotic dc and marvel characters list.

Doctor Destiny ( read Sandman issue 6, seriously, guys pretty messed up)

Ozymandias is up there

@joeagentofhand1: your gonna say Ozymandias is evil, and not just misguided ot a pragmatist extremist?

Except for Mephisto, most villains in this list have some redeemable or sympathetic traits.

Red Skull, Purple Man, Bullseye, Joker, Darkseid, Major Force, Mongul Jr, Dr. Psycho to name a few.

I agree with your list. Red skull especially after his UA appearance.

I always thought Thanos was the worst.

Pennywise

I'm with you, people :)

Magneto isn't evil he's selfish.

Galactus isn't evil either. Think about it this way. you've probably killed 1000's of bugs in your life. Are you evil? no.

Anti Monitor, it's the largest mass murderer in comic book history.

@harryman: Galactus isn't evil; he just a very hungry guy

This

I would say Joker, Death, Sinestro or Mephisto. Don't know what the hell people are thinking when they were talking about Magneto.

Brainiac. He has no feelings, he just considered everyone information to download and then kill.

Or

The Mother F*cker. He is just a little wimp trying to be bad.

@battle_forum_junkie: Most Dictators that commit atrocities think the same thing. Just saying.

Randall Flagg

@savagedragon:

Yeah, good point... That being said, I still don't think he belongs on the 'most evil' list.

Not sure why Magneto and Galactus would be on here. Maybe Doom too. What has he done to deserve #1?

Red Skull, Lex Luthor for his ambition over all else.

Have to include this for fun.

DC: Darkseid, he is literally the God of Evil and has the deeds to back it up.

Marvel: probably Mephisto, Chaos king or that god serial killer in Thor

So evvvvviiiilllll.

Red Skull and Carnage

Joker.
