@@myusername272 not only does he copy moves, he can also read whoever he fights and plays to their weaknesses... pretty similar to batman he can beat anyone if he has a chance to learn about them... besides Deadpool because he's just straight up insane and can change his fighting style on the fly
Condiment Man and Kite Man, truly the greatest and most underrated threats to the dark knight, overshadowded in their evil deeds by only one monstrous figure....POLKA DOT MAN
Yeah I agree. He was the main villain in the arkham games and the dark knight movies but doesn't have any solo stories in comics, other than the really old ones.
Ehhhhh, I'll be honest, he's sometimes a little super capable for a man with no origin. He's like a person of writer freedom where one day he can have the stealth of Batman to the mechanical/chemical engineering skill of Lex Luthor.
I like this list, but Doctor Doom, really? Even as an honorable mention it's just wrong, Doom has basically been the villain for like every marvel hero who had their own book at least once.
Poppy The babe with a huge hammer Baron Heinrich Zemo is criminally underrated, always overshadowed by the likes of Red Skull, Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker and his son, Baron Helmut Zemo. Black Manta is also massively underrated, just like all of Aquaman's rogues.
thegamingguy88 I've never really liked Mad Thinker, he isn't that interesting to me, his robot, Awesome Android is very underrated though, but I only have 10 spots.
The Main Man is awesome, but... even if we still love him, he's not that relevant anymore. He was made up to mock an era of 80s/90s dark edgelord, heavily armed, grizzled and gritty antihero types.
Because they're not Infinity Stones. They are merely a part of the spacecraft's engine that just so happen to have various powers. Infinity Stones are literally tools created by gods to control the universe.
@@janejohnson4946 no no I agree he is. And I totally get what you're saying. I just feel when I meet the rest of the world they almost only point at Joker or Green Goblin or Luthor. People dont really know what Doom is good at or his amazing skillset. I wish more people knew that. That's all.
Jeffzzzz and don’t forget that Cillian Murphy portrayed him excellently in all three of Nolan’s Batman films, although he wasn’t really a big part in the second and third
Should be used in a hulk movie or full on x- men movie. Especially since his powers have been upgraded to include organic steel skin under the armour and immunity to telepathic attacks. Along w not aging. Not needing to eat or breath. Invulnerable and immune to pain good luck stopping him w/o cosmic level forces. Say a silver surfer/thanos/odin type or above who we've seen in MCU. Even an avengers villain.
hell I'd settle for him not being portrayed as a dumb bruiser all the time. People tend to forget that in his defining story arcs the guy was a lot smarter than he let on. Which is two things you don't see very often, a smart super strong character, and an intelligent character that isn't constantly miss quoting classic literature, and cramming as many syllables as possible into every sentence.
Professor Moriarty is the perfect analogy of how I've always thought the Riddler should be used, a consulting criminal. Initially all he wants is the money the thrill and the challenge of devising perfect crimes. On top of that he also gets the egotistical feeling of superiority in that he knows his criminal clients could not plan or pull off the types of heists they're able to thanks to his mind. Eventually he loses "the war" to Batman after allowing the game to get personal once Bats is able to win a few "battles." You could even make the Riddler hail from another city and get called in to Gotham for a job, not expecting much from the Batman IF he's even heard the stories about of him at the start.
The Shocker is a highly underrated character, mostly due to always be seen losing amd never given any depth. Fanfics such as the Shocker: Legit and Polarity fix that.
For real though. A PhD in physics and control over the strongest force on Earth? When you start to imagine the scientific implications to his powers things get pretty scary. Like, global mass extinction scary.
The Blob aka Fred Dukes from X-men is pretty underrated in my opinion and needs more love. Guy was in the 2nd ever X-men comics and handled his own. Since then, he was hit or miss. Movies portrayed him like a goof. He has super strength, High physical resistance, personal gravity control and agile for a big guy. Taken more seriously, he could be a threat (too bad he was stripped of his powers but now has them back a bit). Marvel's Scorpion also needs more love.
I can answer why Riddler isn’t in more comics. I believe it’s because you have to be almost a genius yourself to come up with his plots, along with all the riddles and puzzles that go along with it. From a simple writing perspective, it would be VERY challenging.
How about Black Manta? I mean, Geoff Johns did some wonders for the character by giving him the best backstory he's had so far and setting up something of a Shakespearean relationship with Aquaman. Recently, Dan Abnett expanded the character to finally be on par with DC's other A list villains by bringing this whole blood feud vengeance thing with killing Aquaman to its logical conclusion. But, instead of burying the character, he took the opportunity to have Black Manta have aspirations that went beyond Aquaman and it's been amazing since!
Another awesome video Arris, but how come Dark Horse and the Valiant universes don't seem to get much love? They have some great characters that are way underrated.
I think part of the reason some of these haven't been used more is precisely because they are so powerful. How much of a story arc could you really write about Eclipso if he is supposed to be the biggest baddie in DC. Same with the Beyonder. You can only write so many stories where the heros win against something that they really shouldn't before people lose interest. Look at some of the most popular and longest running villans in the various rogues galleries. They are characters whom the heros can have a good contest with, but still also have a good chance at a legitimate win.
Graviton is a frickin powerhouse super villain! He is so underutilized, underappreciated,and underrated. I hope he makes the list atleast. Seriously though he can control gravity and not just generally.. he can focus it on one thing. Like he could make you weightless and you just float away or he could make you weigh as much as mountain and you just crush yourself and the area around you. So many things he can do
I'd have thrown in Killer Croc, Clayface, Killer Frost and Doctor Destiny. Also is Riddler really underrated? I mean, everybody knows him and he's one of the most famous villains in media in general.
I loved Mongul's story of when he put Superman under the spell of the Black Mercy plant. When he escaped it, thanks to Batman and Wonder Woman, The Man of Steel went apeshit on Mongul and almost killed him. It was one of the few times Superman lost his self control and it was rather impressive.
Most underrated supervillain in my opinion: Arcade. He regularly gets the best of any hero or even a group of them, pretty much can kill them. Does he do that? No, he is a true sadist or at least has some kind of god complex. He toys with them like a house cat with a mouse (really cute for us humans, horrible for the mouse). He makes them play deadly games of survival for his amusement. I posted a similar comment on a similar video, I want more of Arcade... he is a GREAT villain, even though I believe he had and still has no superpowers. I'm surprised you did not give Arcade an honorable mention. You tend to be spot-on on those if left out of the list.
Underrated DC villains: Atrocitus, Larfleeze, Dr Death, Bizarro, Hunter Zolomon, Anton Arcane, The Red Hood Gang, Talia Al Ghūl, Clayface, Carmine Falcone, Willian Cobb, The Anti-Monitor, Man-Bat, Hush, Killer Moth and Desaad.
BlueCape90 Agreed! The original Hobgoblin was a far greater and major Spider-Man villain than Sandman or Rhino (both have made top 10 Spider-Man villains list when Hobgoblin did not).
YES ! The fact that Eclipso is number proves that Variant Comics knows their stuff. Eclipso is so Slept on we need him in a movie, or an animated series. Eclipso is by far one of my favorite DC Villains of all time.
Cyber!! This villain actually scared me. He snapped Wolverine's claws off with his hands! And when you saw his list of powers and attributes it put a chill through you...
The list is underrated villains, not unrecognized villains. Sadly, both the Riddler and Black Adam are underrated as they usually aren't used to their fullest potential in the comics that they are in. Most writers seem to only use Black Adam when they need a muscle-bound villain to fight someone like Superman, but he's more than muscle. He's a genius and a master strategist due to his magic abilities. The Riddler is usually just used to make corny riddles and not really all that inspired nor brilliant.
Nekron... The Black Lantern event was interesting and all, but I just can't get over the fact that Nekron is basically just the ruler of the afterlife's waiting room. Not death, not the afterlife itself; just... the waiting room. It just feels a bit... lacking, somehow, for such a high-level threat. How does he even keep his job, anyway? I mean, he's not some piddly regional god (like the Olympians and such) who's allowed to mess around; he's in the upper echelons. Heck, he's not too far down the ladder from Death, herself! Shouldn't he have have been replaced or "re-instructed" by one of his bosses? Someone in his position of Authority is supposed to be fairly impartial, isn't he?
So glad you mentioned Nekron by far my absolute favorite bad guy. Atrocitus should have been on here as well, but it's only a top 10, and you picked a lot of good ones.
Killer Croc, who I think falls in line for this list for the same reasons as The Riddler. He has had more attention recently, like with the Arkham Games and also Suicide Squad, but would love to see him appear more.
When properly done, The Riddler is an excellent villain. One of the best features of "Batman - The Animated Series" is that they made him an intelligent and crafty villain who is able to hold his own against Batman in a game of wits.
Thanks for mentioning Kraven the Hunter. He was able to go toe to toe with Spiderman when he first appeared, using his bare fists, despite the writers pointing out that he had no superpowers. Given that Spiderman could lift 10 tons and had super reflexes, that's pretty amazing. It was only in later issues that they mentioned that he had stolen the secret of a strength and endurance potion from a nameless witch doctor long ago. Kraven was poorly served by the writers at Marvel, as were most original characters. He deserved (and still deserves) much better stories.
Hobgoblin, Hydro-Man, Jackal, Scorpion, Mysterio, Kraven, Chameleon, Morbius, Silvermane, Tombstone, Hammerhead, Beetle, the Enforcers... Pretty much every Spider-Man villain who is liked by comic fans, but don't have a big role in the movies
Looks like Tombstone got a bit of love in SpideyVerse film - may build upon that ... All those plus more should definitely get more fanfare ... Scorpion and Mysterio should be exploding by summer time for sure 😼 Spidey has the most iconic and at the same time undervalued rogues gallery by a landslide!
Hey Arris! Can you do about History Of Erik Killmonger? Really want to know about him before it hits theatre. P/s you are my only source for DC and Marvel overalls.
in my opinion taskmaster is really underrated considering how badass he is. He is one of my favorite villains.
Star Bane Same, he is more of an anti-villain/anti-hero though.
I agree
*black widow*
I don't see how. He can copy moves not strength, intelligence, armor or anything else the hero has. He should take up dance and be king of the dance

I think part of the reason some of these haven't been used more is precisely because they are so powerful. How much of a story arc could you really write about Eclipso if he is supposed to be the biggest baddie in DC. Same with the Beyonder. You can only write so many stories where the heros win against something that they really shouldn't before people lose interest. Look at some of the most popular and longest running villans in the various rogues galleries. They are characters whom the heros can have a good contest with, but still also have a good chance at a legitimate win.
Exactly.
Graviton is a frickin powerhouse super villain! He is so underutilized, underappreciated,and underrated. I hope he makes the list atleast. Seriously though he can control gravity and not just generally.. he can focus it on one thing.

I agree. Though he's probably because a general audience might hate him due to his portrayal in film
And Marvel's greatest hero. He saved the multiverse from the Beyonders after all.
which is why he isnt exactly underrated
He's just not in the spotlight nearly as often as some other Marvel villains, despite being considered one of the greats.
Greatest character
shang chi boutta give us that REAL mandarin
Oh my god this is probably the first list I agree with. Especially with Mongul.
YES ! The fact that Eclipso is number proves that Variant Comics knows their stuff. Eclipso is so Slept on we need him in a movie, or an animated series. Eclipso is by far one of my favorite DC Villains of all time.

My parents think I'm the most underrated son
lel relatable
Brandon Worthing my cousin thinks I'm the most underrated cousin
Better show your worth then haha
Cyber!! This villain actually scared me. He snapped Wolverine's claws off with his hands! And when you saw his list of powers and attributes it put a chill through you...
The silver surfer deserves his own movie, for sure.

Scarecrow, mysterio and taskmaster are up there imo
Just named 3 of my favorites
The Riddler and Black Adam are still very recognizable outside of the comics they DO NOT deserve a spot on this Top 10 video
The list is underrated villains, not unrecognized villains. Sadly, both the Riddler and Black Adam are underrated as they usually aren't used to their fullest potential in the comics that they are in. Most writers seem to only use Black Adam when they need a muscle-bound villain to fight someone like Superman, but he's more than muscle. He's a genius and a master strategist due to his magic abilities. The Riddler is usually just used to make corny riddles and not really all that inspired nor brilliant.
Riddler is known by some who don't follow comics, but black Adam? No way if your not into comics will you know who that is.
I think they mean underrated in their powers an capabilities. Even so I do agree with Riddler. Personally I think he is one of the most overrated.
Buc Nasty boi
Nekron... The Black Lantern event was interesting and all, but I just can't get over the fact that Nekron is basically just the ruler of the afterlife's waiting room. Not death, not the afterlife itself; just... the waiting room.
It just feels a bit... lacking, somehow, for such a high-level threat.
How does he even keep his job, anyway? I mean, he's not some piddly regional god (like the Olympians and such) who's allowed to mess around; he's in the upper echelons. Heck, he's not too far down the ladder from Death, herself! Shouldn't he have have been replaced or "re-instructed" by one of his bosses? Someone in his position of Authority is supposed to be fairly impartial, isn't he?
#nekronneedsmoreapperances in comics
i agree.
So glad you mentioned Nekron by far my absolute favorite bad guy. Atrocitus should have been on here as well, but it's only a top 10, and you picked a lot of good ones.
Killer Croc, who I think falls in line for this list for the same reasons as The Riddler. He has had more attention recently, like with the Arkham Games and also Suicide Squad, but would love to see him appear more.
Kang The Conquerer is from the 41st century.
I always thought The Ridler was corny, but I love the version from the Batman Telltale season 2 game
LG Same!!!
When properly done, The Riddler is an excellent villain. One of the best features of "Batman - The Animated Series" is that they made him an intelligent and crafty villain who is able to hold his own against Batman in a game of wits.
Pretty sure that laugh in the beginning is from Thriller.
Jaser Cervantes it is.

Thanks for mentioning Kraven the Hunter. He was able to go toe to toe with Spiderman when he first appeared, using his bare fists, despite the writers pointing out that he had no superpowers. Given that Spiderman could lift 10 tons and had super reflexes, that's pretty amazing. It was only in later issues that they mentioned that he had stolen the secret of a strength and endurance potion from a nameless witch doctor long ago. Kraven was poorly served by the writers at Marvel, as were most original characters. He deserved (and still deserves) much better stories.
Love to see some juggernaut love. He has the potential to be one of the most powerful villains in marvel comics.
Hobgoblin, Hydro-Man, Jackal, Scorpion, Mysterio, Kraven, Chameleon, Morbius, Silvermane, Tombstone, Hammerhead, Beetle, the Enforcers...
Pretty much every Spider-Man villain who is liked by comic fans, but don't have a big role in the movies
Thomas the Tank Engine yeah.....they deserve to be popular
Grineer Researcher Tyl Regor definitely.
Looks like Tombstone got a bit of love in SpideyVerse film - may build upon that ... All those plus more should definitely get more fanfare ... Scorpion and Mysterio should be exploding by summer time for sure 😼 Spidey has the most iconic and at the same time undervalued rogues gallery by a landslide!
Mr sinister is no. 1 most underrated
Molecule Man!!!!!
musashi777 Molecule Man and the Beyonder are the same thing, exept Molecule Man is well known.
This list is STUNNING as to the caliber of underused villains.
Nekron seems absolutely freaking dope, would love to see more of him for sure.
Joker for sure!

Eclipso vs Lucifer morningstar?
Probably Lucifer since he could only be matched by his brother Michael and The Presence
Hey Arris! Can you do about History Of Erik Killmonger? Really want to know about him before it hits theatre. P/s you are my only source for DC and Marvel overalls.
Another great list by variant!
Grodd ain't underrated.
Is it me that I like villains than the heroes??
Guess I need help..
Vaibhav Bohra No, I Love villans more than heroes too. Like they say "A Hero is only as good as his /her villan".
Richie Manuta exactly my thoughts!! :) Feels good not to be alone
Vaibhav Bohra read your fucking sentence you make no fucking sense
Vaibhav Bohra I actually like a well done villain over a well done hero. Both are great though.
