    Morgoth, evil personified. Think Sauron was bad? Sauron was his Lieutenant.

    Sauron may have been his lieutenant, but he survived when Morgoth was defeated and cast into the Outer Void, how's that for comin up!!!

    Here he is taunting other omnipotent beings:

    I kind of didn't want to go there, but when Galactus and the Anti-Monitor were picked right off the bat, I was peer-pressured.

    Brick's analysis, for not being a comic book reader, was exactly right when he said that by all rights the villains would win every time and heroes only prevail through writer's constructs. It's always some technicality or "the power of love" or some such nonsense.

    Of course, the crux of picking the Beyonder, or Death, or Galactus is that they are not particularly evil... they just have their own agenda and do not cross them... Galactus, for example, is just hungry... I do not see how he would be considered evil at all... just peckish.

    Right, I will have to make a case for how the Beyonder is directed.

    As for death, she just likes the show of it, and Mephisto can make death quite entertaining.

    The Beyonder may be taunting other omnipotent beings, but what he needs to be doing is getting a new tailor!!!!

    I keep expecting someone to come out and offer him a break dancing challenge!

    Been a little busy. Here's my pick.



    Mr. Henry F. Potter - It's A Wonderful Life

    This is a man who symbolized greed, selfishness, and misdeed for a generation. If any of you have seen the greatest Christmas movie of all time, It's A Wonderful Life, you know what I mean. Mr. Potter will fill a role in my group similar to Mike Corleone only that he is even somehow more vile and cunning, conniving and masterminding. He makes his enemies with words and deals, not violence.

    Plus, just look at him. He set the sneaky sly villain look for the past half-century: balding, pursed lips, small black glasses, optional wheelchair. Man, even Dick Cheney copied it this January.

    Finally, AFI recently ranked him the 6th Greatest Villain in American Film History, so I won't be taking any lip that he's not a villain (turns out Corleone is on the list too.)
    Time-sensitive names suck. Don't do them. Don't make my same mistake.

    Kneel Before Zod!

    Flight, invulnerability, vast super-strength, super-speed, super-breath, super-hearing, vision powers including x-ray vision, heat vision, and telescopic vision. Freakin' lasers out of his freakin' eyes! And with Vader by his side, there won't be any switching polarity in the fortress of solitude shenanigans.

    General Zod

    A televisionary.

    Zoom

    Zoom is a superspeedster that can alter time relative to himself, as opposed to using the Speed Force like most of the DC Universe speedsters. Zoom controls the speed at which time flows around him, allowing him to move faster in time than everyone around him.




    Zoom can slow down time relative to himself to the point that even the Flash appears to be moving in slow motion and is unable to perceive Zoom. He can unleash flurries of high velocity punches, which Wonder Woman has said pack a harder wallop than Superman’s. A snap of his fingers can generate a sonic boom powerful enough to take out entire city blocks. Zoom can also grant superspeed to other individuals.

    Zoom’s stated motivation as a villain is to test the mettle of heroes and “make them better.” Unfortunately for the heroes, Zoom’s idea of motivating you to become better is to pummel you to within an inch of your life and murder your family.

    Zoom moves so fast, the Flashes can’t even seem him:



    Zoom pummels a hapless Flash:



    Oh noes, Superman!:
