Avengers Top Ten Villains- 2012's Avengers film Hype On!!

Nov 17, 2011

Inspired by @Madpenguin's question, I thought since I am a comic book fan I should make a list of the Avengers Top 10 villains. Please keep in mind that I know Loki's threat formed the team, and that other universal threats such as Michael Korvac, the Unspoken, Proctor, The Kree race and the Beyonder indeed pushed the Avengers to the limit. But this is a list that only includes the threats that always seem to return and haunt our heroes because they are more personal and at one time or another, formed an obsession in defeating Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

Thanos

DC fans always try to convince themselves that Darkseid (DC's answer to Thanos) is worst and more terrible than this Titan-born eternal, which I believe is an uneducated and unfair proclamation. Thanos is in love with death and has murdered half the population in the universe to sacrifice to his lover Death; he is more than willing to commit genocide to appease his lover. He came very close to destroying the universe, and only by his own missteps can he be defeated.
Powers: superhuman strength and durability (he can easily take down both The Hulk and Drax the Destroyer at the same time). Energy manipulation, scientific and mystical knowledge and various weaponry.
Threat Level: 10/10

Ultron

The murderous near-indestructible automaton that made the extermination of humanity its prime directive. Created by Henry Pym and based on his brain patterns, this machine has reached sentience. Ultron always strikes closer to home as a representation of the evil side of technology. Smarter than any human scientist and without conscience, Ultron was responsible for the murder of an entire country (the fictional country of Slorenia).
Powers: Body is composed of adamantium. Incredible strength and firepower.
Threat Level: 9/10

Kang the Conqueror

The warlord who commands an army armed with weapons from the future. Well-versed in the laws of time and a superb combatant. The only thing stopping him from murdering the Avengers in the past is his knowledge of the ripple effects across the time steam. Kang was successful in conquering the planet Earth in the 21st century during the Kang Dynasty.
Powers: Scientific genius with a knowledge of time. Various weaponry.
Threat Level: 9/10

The Skrull Race

Ever since the Kree-Skrull war, this alien race led by the Skrull Queen have sought the domination of the human race. Their threat has escalated to levels unimaginable when they infiltrated the ranks of the Avengers and the superhuman community through their shape-changing abilities and power enhancements.
Powers: Variable, Armada level weaponry
Threat Level: 9/10

Immortus

Another persona of Kang. The master of time and limbo. He believes that he is actually safeguarding the time stream from the Avengers. An unknown oddity that sometimes is an ally but then becomes a major threat to the Avengers.
Powers: Manipulation of time and limbo. Various weaponry.
Threat Level 8/10

Masters of Evil

Founded by Baron Zemo, foe of Captain America, to oppose the Avengers. There are other incarnations of this team such as the one assembled by Egghead. But their threat has never been greater than the one put together by Zemo's son.
Powers: Variable
Threat Level: 8/10

Graviton

Called one of the deadliest enemies of the Avengers, he held 10 members at bay including Wonder Man, Thor, The Vision and Iron Man! Graviton has the power to control the Earth and gravity. His defeats are only due to his overconfidence and inexperience. Oh, he also has a weakness for beautiful women…
Powers: Energy and Matter manipulation
Threat Level: 8/10

The Collector

An elder god obsessed with the collection and recording of near-extinct alien races and of things that made an impact in history. He wants to collect the Avengers alongside his collection of planets in a pocket universe.
Powers: Energy and Matter manipulation. Scientific knowledge
Threat Level: 7/10

Count Nefaria

A nobleman and a known figure of the Maggia crime family. He has first gained powers derived from the Living Laser, Power Man and Whirlwind magnified a thousand fold that only THOR could withstand him. But now, he has become an ionic furnace with powers that made him several times stronger than Wonder Man and Atlas (Erik Josten). His threat is more built around his own ego and search for power.
Powers: Extreme durability and Super-strength. Energy manipulation.
Threat Level: 7/10

Lethal Legion

A team first put together by the Grim Reaper to oppose the Avengers. There have been many incarnations (that includes one formed by Nefaria) but none as deadly as the ones assembled by the Grim Reaper (that included Ultron) and the supernatural force driven by the Hangman. (this resulted in the death of Mockingbird*)
Powers: Variable
Threat Level: 7/10
*later found to be a skrull imposter.

Very good. I love Ultron, Kang, and Thanos especially. Do wish they'd change Thanos' outfit though. LOL!

woopak_the_thrill November 23, 2011

well.....you do know that Thanos' outfit reflects the style of the ancient Eternals (servants of the Celestials) who had visited Earth before and have made human beings into slaves and deviants into sexual companions...? This was revealed in the 2000's under the MAX label. But yeah, I see your point. You think that's bad, look at Nefaria's "N" on his belt, I guess fashion sense is the least in villains' mind LOL!

good i feel like such a noob. Ive havent heard of most of these guys.

woopak_the_thrill November 22, 2011

Heh. I guess that is why the movie is probably going to adapt The Ultimates and have Loki as one of the main villains....

Wow, my comic knowledge is slipping as I haven't heard of half of these villians. I guess Galactus didn't rate. Didn't realize that the Skrulls ever battled anyone but the FF.

woopak_the_thrill November 21, 2011

I figured Galactus was more of a villain of the FF and the times when the Avengers took him on was also with the FF. The Avengers took on the Skrulls quite often, they had a very active role in the Kree-Skrull war, the daughter of Thanos-Skrull crisis and they were invaded from within during the Secret Invasion.

I knew this was coming when I saw you adding the characters. My list would look very similar to this, except I would have Grim Reaper solo, and the Gamesmaster would be there too. He killed the entire Avengers team once, leaving only Hawkeye and Captain America. Nice shout out to Graviton and Count Nefaria. Graviton killed most of the Thunderbolts... He crushed the new Beetle like a tin can.

woopak_the_thrill November 17, 2011

Thanks! I thought about adding the Reaper solo too, but I dunno, he just didn't feel right as a top villain since he flip-flops at times. I wanted to include The Grandmaster, but I figured he didn't exactly hassle the Avengers repeatedly and he is more of a threat to super-heroes in general. Dude, I love Graviton and Nefaria...did you read the Thor issue where Thor took on Graviton by himself? That was great!

hey, I added some vids.... :)

Madpenguin November 18, 2011

I seen these before. You really should see the Kang and Ultron fights. They are that damn good.

Madpenguin November 19, 2011

Graviton fought him to a stand still I remember. Him and Molecule Man are two fo the most powerful villains that will always be overshadowed by Magneto as the greater threat due to their lack of mainstream knowledge.
