Let\u2019s face it, there have been some\u00a0bad<\/em>\u00a0bad guys to make it into our beloved superhero films and shows in the past two decades.<\/p>\n

So when the really great ones get a second curtain call, like Willem Dafoe as Green Goblin in \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home,\u201d it doesn\u2019t take long for the internet to spark debate on who ultimately rules the world of evil.<\/p>\n

That iteration of Norman Osborn was\u00a0posed on Twitter\u00a0against the likes of\u00a0fellow MCU\u00a0master of terror Thanos (Josh Brolin) and DC\u2019s Bane (Tom Hardy) as to which of the three reign as villain supreme \u2014 at least from a standpoint of dialogue and intention.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In the name of good old journalism, I\u2019ve thought a great deal on this today and have come to the somewhat sad conclusion that only the Goblin is worthy of the three to be considered a Top 5 villain to appear on-screen in the modern era of hero flicks.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not to say that Thanos and Bane aren\u2019t great villains, but there have been more compelling cases that epitomize the vice of evil whether their stage was larger, smaller, or maybe not even known to be one of a wrongdoer.<\/p>\n

So after careful deliberation, here they are: the five greatest comic book supervillains, seen on both the big and small screens, in no particular order.<\/p>\n

The Green Goblin<\/h2>\n

Whether it be the sinister laugh, painful inner conflict or simply on a zipping on hoverboard paired with advanced and destructive \u201cpumpkin bomb\u201d weaponry, you can always count on Dafoe\u2019s Green Goblin to steal the stage.<\/p>\n

What makes Goblin such a strong villain is that the good man who is Norman Osborn is still trapped inside of the Goblin\u2019s mind following the infamous experiment-gone-wrong.<\/p>\n\n

Time after time, the Green Goblin\u2019s evil overpowers the innocent Osborn, using his body to do the dark will of the chemically induced sociopath. More than his brawls against Spider-Man (Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire), that\u2019s what makes the Goblin so bad. He uses an innocent vessel to carry out his destruction in a way similar to how the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) was manipulated.<\/p>\n

Magneto<\/h2>\n

ver the years, Magneto has proven to be both powerful and evil to the world.<\/figcaption>

Magneto\u2019s backstory, as told in \u201cX-Men: First Class,\u201d is certainly a harsh one.<\/p>\n

Born as Erik Lehnsherr, a boy who lost his mother while they were both kept in a concentration camp during World War II, he has never been able to see the good in humanity due to his own awful circumstances.<\/p>\n

As he rises to become one of the universe\u2019s most powerful mutants through his ability to manipulate metal, Magneto uses extreme violence and all means necessary to punish ordinary people for their mistreatment of mutants.<\/p>\n
