Would have voted for an animé villain but I'm in a different mood.

Joker, nuff said

@agentofchaos1: 1 vote only, so that is joker.

@antimutant001: Question: Voting will be open until 25 December, right? So why don't you include more than 10 results? Maybe you can show the totals for every villain that got at least one vote, or at least a higher number of them than 10, like 71? Obviously, you have a lot of time to think about it, but still.

@darthmummy: Its not ten results. Whoever vote the most characters will be the ten.I also would put other characters as well.Don't worry.

@antimutant001: Okey doke.

Ozymandias

Sinestro

Joker.

@antimutant001: Joker

Condiment king

Magneto, if he doesn't win, comicvine ends.

Kite Man

But actually Joker

Magneto

Magneto

Unless Lex Luthor does, in which case comicvine is just.

Can someone please explain where all these Joker votes are coming from? I understand he's a mainstay villain, but what makes him a greater villain than Lex Luthor?

With so many comic series focused on a singular, central character, "comic book villain" has come to refer to a character that acts as an opposing force to the hero, not just physically, but philosophically, ideologically. Nobody fits this description better than Lex Luthor. To every "1" that Superman represents, Lex Luthor is a "0." Superman is selfless and concerned with the greater good, while Luthor is narcissistic and individualistic. But this is just the surface.

Luthor presents himself as trying to convince humanity to reject the influence of metahumans that solve all their problems and treat them as children, instead embracing their own self-efficacy and potential for greatness. In this regard, he leads by example, just like Superman. His true villainy is in his self-absorption, the way his single-minded pursuit of goals and desire to prove his superiority over Superman overrides any value of or love for his fellow man, which tragically precludes him from ever fulfilling his destiny.

Lex Luthor is not just a malevolent plot mover like Thanos or Joker. He represents the evil that dwells in the hearts of men.

And to top it all off, he's highly intelligent and resourceful. He can back up his threats to Superman and the status quo he represents with vast wealth and an incredible ability to implement evil strategies. It makes for great storylines.

I think the main thing that makes him a greater comic villain than Magneto is the way that he's tailor-made to suit the medium. He is the ultimate antagonistic reaction to the existence of benevolent superhumans, a fixture of the comic world that evokes human evil, not just a stand-in for supremacist/prideful rhetoric and action in response to oppression, in the endless debate in which Erik and Charles (and many in our world, in different contexts) are engaged.

What about the rest of y'all? How did your candidate earn the title of "greatest" in your mind?

1. Joker

2. Darth Krayt

3. Toyo Harada

4. Harley Quinn

5. Darth Maul

6. Cad Bane

7. Atrocitus

8. Black Manta

9. Carnage

10. Shredder

I have actually started a board where people vote for their favourite heroes and villains and I will compile a list. The more the merrier.

@darthmummy: To me Magneto is the greatest because I relate to him in a way. Also he has a good hearg that's been blackened by the world around him. I grew up with him so I have a deep emotional attachment to him, which I don't for any other villain, except Mystique & Catwoman

venom

@alfacess: In honesty, magneto is not right.People live in a world that 1 mutant can kill millions of people.I dropped xmen because Magneto is a racist.He is no different than muslim extremists.

Magneto is NOT WRONG!! His actions are more than earned through his backstory. WHAT IF U WENT THROUGH WHAT HE DID? WOULDN'T U SNAP?!

@alfacess: If he was right, you wouldn't have to justify his actions with his "snapping." Besides, how does suffering at the hands of racial supremacist make one a mutant supremacist? Shouldn't he of all people know that might doesn't make right? Maybe this contradiction is what makes him a villain.
