description for this list we’ll be
looking at villains from DC Comics with
a penchant for over-the-top violence
while there are plenty of villains out
there that cause mayhem with elaborate
plots these baddies like to get their
own hands dirty and do so often number
10
Killer Croc Waylon Jones is a
misunderstood creature
despite his monstrous appearance he’s a
man with crocodile-like features and not
the other way around
shunned by society it could be argued
that it was the world’s failure to
accept him that turned him into the
villain he is today as Jones has shown a
softer side over the years be that as it
may he also uses his colossal strength
and crocodile-like anatomy to terra’s
opponents apart over the years he’s been
depicted inconsistently with varying
degrees of intelligence and savagery but
after being infected with a virus that
made him increasingly animalistic he
went full cannibal speaking of cannibals
we’d be remiss not to give a shout-out
to the similarly violent King shark
number 9
Black Adam whenever a character is the
ruler of a sovereign nation their hero /
villain status is complicated Black Adam
is the arch-nemesis of Shazam and boasts
a similar power set over the years he’s
fought alongside the heroes of the DC
Universe as well as it’s villains as the
champion and/or ruler of Kahndaq his
allegiances are usually governed by the
interests of his people though we
appreciate the complexity of his moral
compass his history of extreme violence
earns him villain status in our books an
egotistical warrior who relishes combat
he has a nasty habit of dismembering his
opponents or obliterating their skulls
with an eye poke he uses extreme and
gratuitous violence without hesitation
or remorse number 8 Darkseid this tyrant
and conqueror of worlds has legions of
minions at his disposal to do his dirty
work for him
using his powers and influence he has
killed more people than any earthly
villain could ever dream of but it’s
when he himself gets directly involved
in the fray that things get
really ugly the heroes of the DC
Universe always block his attempts to
conquer earth at which point he’s only
too happy to teach them firsthand the
pains of fighting a God with his Omega
beams one shot is enough to prove lethal
of course he’s just as happy to get up
close and personal
as he’s proven time and time again in
his brutal hand-to-hand battles with
members of the Justice League and their
allies number 7 Deathstroke you don’t
get a label like the Terminator by
solving your problems with your words
Slade Wilson is a mercenary assassin and
is arguably the most deadly and
efficient killer for hire in the DC
Universe a super soldier program gave
him increased strength stamina reflexes
agility intelligence and endurance it
also heightened his census gave him a
healing factor and slowed the aging
process the thing is even before getting
this upgrade he was already a masterful
combatant ruthless and efficient
Deathstroke can cut through a room of
minions without breaking a sweat
operating without remorse and
single-minded in his task Deathstroke is
a killing machine number 6
doomsday violent villains get that way
by various paths but doomsday is the
rare specimen that seems to exist solely
for destructive purposes he’s not
generally depicted as being interested
in money or world domination he is an
agent of violence pure and simple the
most popular origin story for the
character is that he was created to
become the ultimate life form to this
end he was repeatedly subjected to death
only to be brought back stronger and
more capable of survival it’s basic
evolution as guided by the survival of
the fittest concept set to fast forward
as such all that doomsday knows his pain
and violence which he inflicts upon
everyone and everything he encounters
number 5 Bane this juggernaut of a man
is among the most physically formidable
foes that Batman has ever faced though
there is no shortage of hulking villains
and DC Comics Bane stands apart from the
bunch by being not just a physical
threat but a master tactician as well
fueled by venom a hyper potent super
steroid Bane is capable of delivering
bone shattering blows undeniably his
most famous act of violence was when he
broke the bat literally breaking Bruce
Wayne’s back having spent his childhood
and
of the most dangerous prisons in the
world Bane was raised on violence and it
shows any villain who can snap killer
crocs arm is indeed a master of the
violent arts number four Ares he’s the
freaking God of War
so yeah violence is basically his middle
name for millennia
he has fostered encouraged helped
orchestrate and relished in large-scale
acts of violence between the factions of
mankind more than just a puppeteer
however Ares enjoys getting into the
thick of war wetting his sword or
battle-ax with blood on the field of
combat one of his favorite opponents to
clash weapons with is none other than
Wonder Woman whom he has had violent
encounters with on numerous occasions in
his quest to encourage war there’s no
need to violent to achieve his bloody
ends number three Victor Zsasz serial
killers with few exceptions tend to be
extremely violent individuals by nature
a nihilist who took the philosophy to
its darkest logical conclusions zas
kills his victims to liberate them from
the burden that his life everything may
be meaningless to zazz but he certainly
seems to derive great pleasure from his
work for every life he takes
zaz gives himself a scar making his body
a living temple to his killcount a
skilled hand-to-hand combatant
zaz is at his best when armed with
blades which he wields with deadly
accuracy
he’s been repeatedly incarcerated but
he’s not interested in treatment or
reformed he lives for the kill
number two Professor Pig this psychotic
killer is a relatively recent addition
to Batman’s rogues gallery but in his
short history he’s made quite the
impression Professor Pig made his debut
in 2007 appropriately numbered Detective
Comics number 666 the deranged doctor
was allegedly driven mad by his own
concoctions and now practices his craft
on the unwilling citizens of Gotham he
enjoys performing unneeded surgeries
turning people into his minions known as
dolet Ron’s and of course killing his
skills with a scalpel apparently
translate quite well to wielding a knife
he’s seemingly driven by a desire to
achieve perfection in others but his
vision of perfection is notably skewed
he’s quickly established himself as one
of Batman’s most sadistic and violent
villains really his work speaks for
itself
number one Joker yes indeed
despite steep competition from his
fellow villains we ultimately had to
hand to the crown over to the Clown
Prince of Crime though he may be prone
to silliness and odd gimmicks his
clownish ways only serve to add an extra
level of perversion to his twisted acts
of violence the man beat Batman second
Robin to death with a crowbar laughing
as he did it he once skinned a man alive
who could forget what he did to Barbara
Gordon and her father this is the sort
of villain who goes joyriding around
Christmas time running down random
pedestrians DC comics are full of
violent criminals but few do it with
such genuine joy as the Joker do you
