Marvel Vs. DC: 30 Most Powerful Villains, Officially Ranked

No hero would be complete without a potent rival, which both DC and Marvel Universes have in plenty. We have combined the most mighty villains from DC and Marvel Universe into a super-list and ranked them by the overwhelming power they collectively hold.

In this list, there are no losers: it celebrates the most triumphant evils in comics, though a pecking order still needs to be addressed. There are many powerful super-villains in Marvel and DC, so let’s find out who will come out on top.

30. Mangog

Mangog is a huge monster that draws his devastating strength and endurance from the hatred of billions of beings, making them far superior to Thor’s, and has the ability to use magic for energy projection and change his appearance. He is the last survivor of a mysterious alien race that was defeated in the past by Odin, the lord of Asgard.

Mangog is also basically immortal and virtually indestructible. He continues to exist as long as there are vast amounts of hatred in the cosmos, and is also capable of absorbing the hatred of his enemies to become even stronger.

29. Apocalypse

En Sabah Nur, later known as Apocalypse, was born in Ancient Egypt and is said to be the first mutant to manifest the X-Gene. He is a very philosophical villain, developing a theory and strategy of mutant supremacy in a harsh world where humans look at mutants as enemies.

He also believes that only the strongest and fittest must survive, which is why he is uninterested in mutants he judges to be weak. His ultimate goal is to start a massive war between humans and mutants, after which the mutants will govern Earth and he will be their supreme commander.

28. Hela

Hela is the ruler of the kingdoms of Hel and Niflheim, where the souls of those who are not worthy to enter Valhalla are destined; this makes her the Asgardian “Goddess of Death”. Hela is much stronger than the average of the Asgardians, so as to be able to face and embarrass even Thor.

Her longevity is almost unlimited and, having reached maturity, her aging has practically stopped. Hela is a superb hand-to-hand combatant, although she rarely displays such skills because she prefers to use her natural skills as a manipulator and temptress to steal the souls of her opponents.

27. Surtur

Surtur is an evil entity native to Muspelheim, one of the nine worlds of Norse mythology. He is an immense and malevolent fire demon, endowed with physical strength and endurance far superior to Thor’s. He has the ability to generate and control flames but is vulnerable to intense cold.

He possesses the giant sword Twilight, which is magical, capable of manipulating vast amounts of mystical energy and can be used to perform feats such as shattering dimensional barriers and inhibiting Odin’s powers. He is also able to channel the Eternal Flame, with which he can destroy all the Nine Realms.
