just because they’re superheroes doesn’t
mean they can’t be beaten welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
superhero defeats it’s the rematch all
New York has been waiting for but once
more the thing is being badly beaten
find the much stronger Hulk for this
list we’re looking at the worst losses
suffered by a superhero either at the
hands of a villain or another hero we
are not including incidents where the
hero failed to save someone close to
them however and instead focusing on
personal defeats number 10 bullseye
kills Elektra we’re kicking things off
with a nasty death in one of the most
grisly superhero scenes ever drawn
watching revenge against daredevil
bullseye decides to go after his
superhero girlfriend Elektra my name is
Luke genetics Elektra is more than
capable of holding her own in a fight
but bullseye is merciless and the best
assassin in the Marvel Universe after a
brutal battle
bullseye ends up impaling her with her
own side
of course like any good superhero
Elektra doesn’t stay dead for very long
but this was a tough defeat for both her
and daredevil number nine The Hulk
defeats the thing it could be argued
that this is the greatest superhero
battle of all time with two guys that
define the word heavyweight going
toe-to-toe seeking revenge on the
Avengers the Hulk travels to New York
where he’s confronted by the Fantastic
Four the only one who is truly a match
for the Hulk is Ben Grimm and the two
engage in a vicious destructive fight
darris say defiantly freak scrape
exhausted and beaten the thing
eventually collapses and the hook
continues after the Avengers while the
thing would pursue him this was the
first time he was soundly defeated in a
fair fight on the rock getting weak
number 8 Aquaman loses his hand the
young prince will be yet another
innocent victim of the surface-dwellers
aggression you may be familiar with a
darker version of Aquaman that impales
enemies with a sweet hook however in
order to gain that hook he had to lose a
hand to the villainous Charybdis
Charybdis steals Aquaman’s power to
communicate with fish and explains his
plan to poison the earth and the to
engage in a fistfight with Carrodus
eventually forcing Aquaman’s hand into a
river full of piranhas ouch
number seven crossbones assassinates
Captain America it’s difficult as this
is to accept Captain America is a
fugitive from shield the Civil War
storyline was tough on several major
characters in the Marvel Universe but no
one expected the death of Captain
America after surrendering to Tony Stark
Captain America was arrested
unfortunately caps troubles go from bad
to worse
his imprisonment didn’t put him out of
the reach of the Red Skull who hires
crossbones to assassinate the hero on
the steps of the courthouse he kinda
feels personal crossbones puts bullets
through the back of his neck and stomach
killing him
sorta number six
Batman defeats Superman Clark this is
between you and me for years people had
been debating over who would win in a
fight Batman or Superman in the Dark
Knight Returns however Frank Miller put
all those debates to rest if it isn’t me
it’ll just be someone else really who do
they send after you pulling out all the
stops donning a powered exoskeleton suit
and armed with a synthetic kryptonite
Batman confronts Superman in the same
alleyway where his parents were murdered
No
with all of these advantages batman is
able to defeat Superman and then fakes
his own death to escape the government I
want you to remember the one man who
beat you
number five Ozymandias outsmarts the
watchman this represents the culmination
of a dream more than two thousand years
old the dream now is should your
unquestioning assistance arguably one of
the greatest comic books sorry graphic
novels of all time Watchmen ends it’s
brilliant saga with an unexpected twist
retired crimebuster Adrian Veidt also
known as Ozymandias turns out to be the
mastermind behind the deaths of several
masked crime fighters
Veidt reveals his genius plan to the
remaining Watchmen and then proceeds to
defeat them all when they confront him
in his secret lair
Fite succeeds in murdering thousands of
people and lays the foundation for a new
world order you have an idealized
mankind but you’ve deformed it mutilated
it that’s your legacy number four the
Joker kills Jason Todd Wow
that looks like it really hurt Jason
Todd may have been losing popularity
among fans but that didn’t make his
brutal death at the hands of the Joker
any less impactful revealing his
identity as Robin Jason is handed over
to the Joker by his estranged mother dr.
sheila Heywood the Joker and his gang
proceeded to savagely beat Robin and
both Robin and his mother are killed by
a bomb before Batman can rescue them
while Jason would eventually return the
magnitude of this defeat was felt across
the comic book industry
geeze number three
magneto rips out Wolverine’s skeleton
let’s point those claws of yours in a
safer direction Wolverine is one of the
toughest superheroes out there and a big
part of that is his adamantium plated
skeleton unfortunately this makes him an
easy target for Magneto and his ability
to manipulate metal
while magneto tries to avoid harming
mutants whenever possible his patience
wears out and he decides to make an
example of Wolverine in front of the
rest of the x-men using his mastery of
magnetism magneto rips the adamantium
out of Wolverines body carrying him to
pieces in the process
Wolverine obviously survives although
this defeat left him discouraged and
broken for quite a long time so much for
being a survivor
number two Bane breaks Batman’s back I’m
a serious mistake not as serious as
yours
the Joker twoface Riddler and the
penguin have all challenged Batman
several times over the years but none of
them can hope to defeat Batman in a
fight gotcha callate on deception
powerful agents to the uninitiated but
we are initiated I believe Bruce the
muscle-bound bane however after figuring
out Batman’s identity waited at Wayne
Manor for the Caped Crusader to return
exhausted from fighting criminals all
night long Batman was easily beaten by
Bane who snapped his back and left him
broken then I will break you this is not
only arguably the greatest defeat ever
suffered by Batman it is one of the
biggest defeat suffered by a knee
superhero I was wondering what with
rapists
your spirit
oh you’re running before we unveil our
number one pick here are a few honorable
mentions number one
doomsday kills Superman Batman may have
defeated Superman but doomsday is the
one that killed him yes Superman would
return but this was the first time in
history that Superman left the
battlefield
feet-first after an epic battle doomsday
and Superman hit each other with such
force that the to simultaneously kill
each other
Superman dies and Lois his arms and the
DC Universe gets a little bit darker
arguably setting a bad precedent for
future superheroes to die and then
return there is still no denying the
shock that this left on comic book fans
everywhere
