at the actors that really brought out
the darkness of the supervillain
characters they played in television
shows or movies warning some of these
entries may be considered spoilers so
view at your own discretion number 10
Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn the amazing
spider-man 2 if our blood isn’t
compatible you could dye your blood
can’t make me die well the movie was
panned by critics Peter Parker’s friend
turned enemy delivers a creepy and
sinister performance Dahon masterfully
portrays the transition from a sweet
friend of Peters to the insane Green
Goblin teetering on the brink of
insanity for much of the film this
darker portrayal of spider-man’s
arch-nemesis comes to a head in the
final confrontation of the film where
Dawn’s unsettling madness steals the
show Harry Osborn is uncomfortable to
watch in this film because of his
unhinged personality and to Hans ease in
portraying the darker side of a
well-known character is captivating what
you made
you were my friend and you betrayed
number 9 Michael Shannon is general zod
man of steel I will find him
driven and determined the villainous
Kryptonian has come to earth with a dark
purpose to terraform the entire planet
to be a new Krypton
Shannon’s portrayal of the character is
powerful in raw and manages to appear
almost regal and sympathetic as he
explains his plans to destroy humanity
to rebuild his home
Shannon Zod uses fear and mystery to
intimidate the people of Earth and is
absolutely merciless in everything he
does
from his monologues to his callous
attitude towards humans Michael Shannon
turns out into a gritty character who is
feared and leaves a huge impression on
moviegoers
you can board but number 8 Daniel Bruhl
has helmet Zemo Captain America Civil
War I lost everyone so of you well not a
physical threat to any of the Avengers
this was the first villain that
succeeded in destroying the unity of the
superhero team after his family was
killed in the confrontation between
Ultron and the Avengers zero resolved to
destroy the Avengers no matter the cost
what makes Brewers performance dark is a
subtle determination to kill innocents
Unruh and lives in order to achieve
vengeance for his dead family by
bringing a more realistic take on the
character to the screen Brule succeeds
in making Zemo a dark and
multi-dimensional villain the scene fail
spectacularly
they did number seven Teddy Sears a zoom
the flash a terrifying speedster with a
fitting voice zoom served as a terrific
foe for Barry Allen and his friends
Sears portrayed the heroic Jay Garrick
so well that nobody predicted that was
just a cover for the dark villain who
delights in pain for pain sake zooms
only goal is to be the fastest man alive
and he isn’t afraid to kill or maim in
order to get his way
the chilling smile Sears gives to our
heroes only adds to the Menace of this
deranged man you’re gonna watch your
parent die just like I did make you just
like
number six michael fassbender as magneto
x-men franchise see what I can do
Australia while this character has been
portrayed excellently before with the
terrific performance of Ian McKellen
Fassbender’s take on the character has
brought magneto to incredibly dark
places while given a sympathetic look at
the origins of Magneto Michael
Fassbender still succeeds in showing the
twisted side to the mutants quest for
revenge the calm look in his eyes as he
murders those who stand in his way
or the fact that he served an ancient
mutant with plans to remake the world
suggests that this magneto has very few
qualms about the untold destruction he
is causing number 5 Vincent D’Onofrio as
kingpin daredevil nobody expected this
performance to be as dark as it was
D’Onofrio manages to portray Wilson Fisk
both as a cold and calculating crime
boss but also as a raging and psychotic
man who will brutally decapitate a
henchman for disappointing him kingpins
vicious ID is showcased beautifully by
D’Onofrio as he can begin in a calm
analogue before suddenly snapping and
throttling someone to death with little
effort d’Onofrio’s performance is
chilling because one can never be sure
if he’s about to shake your hand or snap
your neck
number 4 Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus
spider-man 2
nothing was standing our way
even with a tragic origin story this
nemesis of Parkers truly delivered a
gritty performance driven to insanity by
his failed creations Otto Octavius was a
role model to Peter before his
mechanical arms twisted his mind and led
him down a path of villainy an Alfred
Molina does a great job in taking
viewers down that twisted path making
them feel sorry for his character while
also terrified of his lack of morals
Molina seems to delight in his role as
the villain smirking as he causes chaos
for Spidey you haven’t tried to catch
number three Danny DeVito as the penguin
Batman Returns few actors can manage to
be creepy disgusting horrifying and
weird all at once and still managed to
put forward a compelling performance
DeVito’s penguin is iconic because of
how delightfully crazy and dark he gets
he isn’t afraid to take risks and go
over-the-top and somehow finds a way to
make the penguin feared despite some of
the silly lines it would be near
impossible to make a villain that
considers himself to be more penguin
than human seem dark and sinister and
yet DeVito does a fantastic job of doing
just that number 2 David Tennant has
kilgrave Jessica Jones for every year
that you left me alone stab yourself
imagine the twisted things you could do
with the powers of mind-control and then
watch as Marvel 1ups you Tenon’s
portrayal of the sadistic purple man is
unsettling to watch but incredibly
compelling Tennant calmly narrates in a
matter-of-fact tone what he wants his
victims to do before they carry out his
orders beyond his extravagant murders
however it is Tennant’s sinister and
casual way in which he longs for Jessica
that truly makes his portrayal of the
character masterful kilgrave is
certainly the darkest villain in the
Marvel Netflix universe and that is all
thanks to his brilliant performance I
stopped with a smile
number one Heath Ledger as the Joker The
Dark Knight what’s the time what
difference does that make
well depending on the time he may be in
one spot or several the Clown Prince of
Crime has been played by countless
actors but none succeed in turning him
quite as menacing as this Heath Ledger’s
performance of the Joker’s rightfully
regarded as one of the best acting
performances in history but what really
sets Ledger’s portrayal apart is how
realistic and gritty his villain is the
manic laugh the way he licks his lips
the unhinged look in his eyes
Ledger turns the Joker into a more
serious yet terrifying foe for Batman
and yet still manages to keep the
essence of the Joker intact see madness
as you know is like gravity all it takes
is a little push do you agree with our
picks check out these other great clips
