these guys are the reason there’s a
justice league in the first place
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down the top 10 greatest
Justice League villains these are the
big guns the heads of the six before we
begin we publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
the villains who have really given the
Justice League a run for their money and
to have a historically significant place
in their long history we’re considering
villains who have fought the league in
any of its incarnations you think you
can kill me you’re welcome to try number
10 the injustice league I’m for the
injustice league to step into the light
you can’t turn away if superheroes band
together to form a team or week it makes
sense that their foes would do the same
the injustice league has been through
several incarnations starting out as a
rather incompetent band that was exiled
to Antarctica subsequent incarnations
were more serious and featured heavy
hitters like Lex Luthor Cheeta and the
Joker the goal was to soundly defeat the
Justice League and give themselves free
reign to conquer the world you know
typical bad guy stuff
but with the talent and powers to pull
it off fortunately gatherings of super
villains almost never know how to really
work together and the league has been
able to triumph again and again with the
injustice league serving as our proxies
we are once again free to operate with
impunity number 9 Despereaux
Despero I presume
with a backup group no less an
intergalactic tyrant Despereaux goes
back to the league’s early days ruler of
the other dimensional Kalin or
despereaux’s one ambition is conquest of
anything and everything he is hoped in
his ambition by his third eye which
gives him the ability to both read and
control minds as well as telekinesis he
also possesses regenerative powers which
makes it difficult for him to be
permanently destroyed ever since his
initial defeat by the league Despereaux
is Harbor of burning hatred for them so
far at least he hasn’t succeeded in
annihilating them a new order to the
universe is coming one that will be
written in fire and with the blood of
all who oppose me
number eight star oh the creature was
still a prisoner but now he had a plan
he’d seen how strong Superman was and he
wanted that strength for himself
although retconning of the league’s
origin has at times altered this their
very first villain was actually Starro
the Conqueror on the surface it doesn’t
look so menacing after all it’s just a
gigantic starfish right
not so fast this alien being possesses
amazingly advanced mind control
abilities using smaller drone like
versions of itself which take over the
minds of any person they attach to
Starro is able to control massive
amounts of humans and by extension
metahumans stauros encounters with the
league have been relatively few and far
between although he has appeared
elsewhere in the DC Universe but when he
does encounter the league the event is
always memorable
number seven the anti-monitor shoe they
introduced in the landmark crisis on
Infinite Earths storyline the
anti-monitor was a supremely powerful
being who ruled the antimatter universe
and was determined to destroy all the
other universes the Justice League was
among the hundreds of heroes who helped
defeat him during the crisis but it was
during the new 52 s Darkseid war that he
became one of the league’s most
dangerous villains the anti-monitor
plotted to destroy Darkseid for his own
personal reasons and the league and
their friends and foes had to keep him
from destroying all life in the process
I can’t move
number six
Amazo it’s called a maze Oh what the
hell is an amazing highly advanced
cybernetic Android equipped with the
ability to absorb the power of super
humans one of the league’s earliest foes
Amazo the Android fought the heroes
before Superman and Batman were
regularly participating in their
adventures created by the brilliant
professor Ivo as part of his quest to
gain immortality
Amazo had the ability to duplicate the
powers of the heroes he fought in
essence then the Justice League would
fight a version of itself but with all
the powers rolled into one being over
the years Amazo has been recreated in
several different forms but each of them
is designed to give the Justice League a
huge headache you don’t have any powers
I have this number five the crime
syndicate you could hide from my own
provision
moogan a5 what you’ve done right that’s
promise after DC came up with earth 1
and earth 2 were slightly different
versions of their heroes existed the
introduction of earth 3 was inevitable
but on this earth the likes of Ultraman
superwoman owl man Johnny quick and
power ring were super villains and when
they discovered the heroic counterparts
on earth 1 they attacked the crime
syndicate returned several times over
the years even after the crisis on
Infinite Earths wiped out their earth 3
cells they survived as members of the
antimatter universe as with Amazo when
the lead fights the crime syndicate it’s
like they’re fighting themselves which
requires some strategic thinking in
order for them to emerge victorious
which leaves the governments of the
world with two choices bow down to us or
die number 4 lex luthor enough where’s
Luthor right here and I’m going to enjoy
every moment of this sure he Superman’s
archenemy but he doesn’t limit his
evildoing to Metropolis this incredibly
rich super genius has crossed paths with
the League on many occasions aside from
his efforts as a leader of the injustice
league Luthor has also had some solo
jobs with the team his power and
influence is time and again made him an
incredibly formidable opponent for the
league one that can’t be defeated simply
with super-strength and laser vision
let’s be straight here Lex there are
people out there right now rolling their
eyes they’re saying that Lex Luthor
hasn’t changed that he can’t be trusted
can’t say I blame them number 3 Vandal
Savage had you never heard of the
survival of the fittest in essence you
heroes sought to protect humanity from
its own glorious evolution he may not
have fancy powers for weapons to help
him conquer the world but he has
patience and determination and why not
he’s immortal and has been alive for
thousands of years he can outweigh
anybody and since he has amassed
enormous wealth intelligence tactical
skills and power over his long lifetime
he has access to resources that make him
a huge threat since he seemingly cannot
be killed there’s no real way for the
Justice League to defeat him just to lay
him he strikes with all the power and
force he can muster but he knows that if
he fails he will always be able to try
again we’re too late something you’re
not used to saying very often I’d
imagine number 2 Brainiac
to remain until I could install myself
into the Android but you forced my hand
another foe with a strong Superman
connection brainiac is an artificial
intelligence with a heavy emphasis on
the intelligence part this remorseless
relentless fighting machine has changed
appearance over the years but as always
a cold calculating being bent on adding
to his collection all in the name of
furthering his knowledge of the universe
whether he’s threatening to vivisect
Aquaman or shrinking entire cities like
candor for his collection Brainiac is
not to be messed with
he may just be a walking computer but he
is definitely not user-friendly kal-el
what brings you so far from your adopted
home I’m here to end you if your father
jor-el couldn’t stop me what hope have
you number one Darkseid Darkseid some
members of the Justice League are
practically as powerful as gods Darkseid
really is one and not a nice one either
the ruler of the hellish planet
apocalypse Darkseid has a burning hatred
for earth because we keep resisting him
he’s used to conquering and smashing his
enemies bringing multitudes under his
demonic rule but the Justice League and
other earth heroes somehow keep foiling
his efforts his ultimate goal is to
acquire the anti-life equation which
would grant him absolute control over
all sentient beings so it’s a good thing
the members of the Justice League have
continuously prevented that from
happening Superman must suffer for
killing me
his adopted world will die screaming
only then will I seek the ultimate end
