for this list we’ll be looking at the
superheroes and fictional vigilantes who
have sought revenge on criminals and
those who have wronged them number 10
Rorschach Walter Kovacs does not mess
around although he was prone to violence
even in his youth the man who would be
Rorschach grew up to be a masked
vigilante that at first was relatively
restrained however after a particularly
disturbing case that leads to a
psychotic break
Rorschach begins murdering criminals
instead of capturing them using nothing
more than his fists improvised weapons
his wits and a grapple gun Rorschach
fights an uncompromising crusade against
crime that doesn’t even stop when he’s
locked up Rorschach may be unhinged but
he’s a fascinating character all the
same number 9 katana he got Kuhlman
identical to a knife a modern-day
samurai who takes her moniker from her
weapon of choice katana wields a sword
that ensnares the souls of those killed
with it though the details of her tragic
past vary depending on the medium most
versions depict her being driven to an
actual revenge on those who killed her
husband with the same sword she now uses
although not given to bouts of rage like
some of our other entries to come
katanas focus determination and skill
with a blade are more than enough to
earn her a place on our list number 8
Deathlok with a name like that these
superheroes were hardly going to be Boy
Scouts
yes that’s superheroes plural there have
been several deathlok’s over the years
and comics and other media though they
all have aspects in common that usually
help them earn their common nickname the
death locks are usually killed or
disfigured somehow and then resurrected
with cyborg technology kind of like a
predecessor to Robocop they will often
seek to kill those who killed or harmed
them before receiving their upgrades
using their newfound abilities while
struggling to maintain their humanity
we all saw this one coming the x-men’s
resident hot-headed member everything
about Wolverine from his regenerative
abilities to his metal skeleton and
claws to his tragic amnesiac past just
screams revenge prone to rage fueled
berserker attacks in battle Wolverine
uses his healing factor to tear through
his enemies with wild violent abandon
his desire to discover his origins and
who gave him his adamantium bones is
also often a driving force for many of
his stories that usually ends up with
him taking them down while he can be
grumpy an incredibly savage in battle
Wolverine is generally good-hearted deep
down number six
Batman some may find it surprising that
Batman is so low on this list however
while the Caped Crusader is incredibly
intense in his pursuit of criminals and
he does embody the kind of darker
superhero archetype Batman has a code
and lines he usually won’t cross which
is more than we can say for other heroes
on our list even so the Dark Knight is
defined by the death of his parents and
in many versions he seeks or achieves
revenge on the perpetrator as well as
other criminals that cross him in those
he loves he said it himself best though
I am the knight number five the crow
revenge and resurrection seem to go
hand-in-hand don’t they after he and his
girlfriend or fiancee are brutally
murdered a man usually named Eric Draven
is brought back to life by a crow which
gives him the opportunity to hunt down
those responsible Javon and the others
to bear the mantle of the crow are
granted superhuman endurance or
regenerative powers and other
supernatural abilities which they used
to ensure their killers are killed
themselves the crows is undead battle to
avenge themselves and those they loved
are frequently impactful and always
bloody number 4 Red Hood
those are the heads of all your
lieutenants that took me two hours you
want to see what I can get done in a
whole evening plenty of people including
villains like the Joker have donned the
Red Hood over the years but the title is
most commonly associated with former
Robin Jason Todd after experiencing
traumatic or sometimes fatal treatment
from a criminal usually the Joker
himself Jason Todd returns to fighting
crime though not by the code he learned
during his tenure as Robin instead using
any means necessary which includes
everything from killing criminals to
even taking over the underworld of
Gotham the character is so ruthless in
his pursuit of those who’ve wronged him
that he verges on being an anti villain
though Batman
sometimes manages to rekindle his better
few things save engines quite like a man
with a flaming skull for a head like
several of our other entries Ghost Rider
is a superhero epithet that’s been used
by a number of heroes over the years but
they all share several things in common
that make them especially revenge prone
the Ghost Rider powers are bestowed upon
someone by the demon Mephisto leading
the individual to be compelled to seek
out people whose crimes have been worthy
of damnation and destroy or down them
with fiery chains or other brutal
methods number two spawn I trusted you
with my life a hundred times we were
partners yes brother
speaking of demonically powered
superheroes spawn is another hero whose
abilities were granted by hell after
being burned alive Al Simmons makes a
deal with a demon that he will agree to
serve the forces of darkness in exchange
for being able to walk the earth again
and see his wife things don’t work out
quite like he planned though and in
addition to being merciless to criminals
he also seeks revenge on the man who
killed him as well as the demonic beings
who manipulated him into his new life as
a hell spawn each warrior is born as a
clean slate knowing nothing
the only instincts which they can act
upon are drawn from their past number
one
The Punisher that’s it you’re dead to me
do you hear me I’m already dead one of
the darkest anti-heroes out there The
Punisher is a militant unhinged
vigilante who takes the law into his own
hands after his family is killed by
criminals Frank Castle is driven to
punish not only those responsible but
also criminals in general using his
military training to wage an unending
one-man war on those he sees as being
the worst of the worst
haunted intense and motivated by the
death of his loved ones The Punisher is
easily the most vengeful superhero of
them all
