ITT: genuinely scary/disturbing supervillains
Kid Miracleman
Thanks for all that body horror, One Below All.
Earth Mover scared the shit out of me when I was a wee lad.
THAT issue of Miracleman is one of the most beautiful pieces of horror fiction I’ve ever read in my entire life.
Clayface episodes were hard to watch for me when I was a kid.
This
Source on the comic?
Jane Doe
What is it with Dee and diners?
It's a Hellboy comic. Strange Places, I think? The story has Hellboy adventuring in the Appalachian Mountains.
Hellboy: The Crooked Man by Richard Corben
Proffessor Pyg
Turns men intro transsexual gynoids without their consent
The Thousand by Garth Ennis
He swallowed the spider that gave Peter Parker his powers and became a sentient colony of spiders.
She hot
Fucking Pyg is the most genuinely disturbing Batman villain, and they stuck him in a cartoon for kids.
I don’t have arachnophobia, but Jesus Christ someone call Johnny Storm.
On that note, Rag Doll!
And the live action version has got to be seen to be believed: youtu.be
is that the same guy from the conjuring movies/mama?
The episode where they meet the old doom patrol that required assisted living because of him really got me, and the park thing.
Carnage
This spooky boy got me into valiant.
No, but he was in the worst season of Channel Zero, while also being the best thing about that season. He’s basically perfect casting for Rag Doll.
spooky spooky boi
Thats freaky
Scarecrow can be pretty creepy
Also this
youtu.be
Click on this gif, man. Rag Doll’s actor has no joints
Vic’s plot is one of the best things about rewatching he season, because then you can really notice all the fuckery that Nobody engages in that’s invisible on the first watch.
Dear lord
Spot really is the perfect assassin.
It's mostly played for laughs, but something about Generic Man just skeeves me the fuck out. The idea of being reduced to a basic abstraction of a human being with no will of your own is terrifying.
Another creep I believe do make perfect assassins. A invisible, intangible master hacker that murders you by phasing a bomb inside your chest.
At least he generally only targets soulless corporate executives.
Oh, is that that dude from that Swamp Thing story arc? Where it starts off the dead guy killing everyone with a strong connection to the Green and it progresses to the apocalypse happening? Yeah, that guy was disturbing by how he killed.
Damn, that's actually pretty damn creepy. I have to give them credit for that.
he also fucked his dad
Oh, I forgot about dude. Wasn't he permanently killed off?
I don't see how you all find this scary? Don't you guys read occult guides, play horror games, or watch horror films?
He's not necessarily the scariest villain, but Violator/Clown is one of my all time favorite villains simply for being a perverted disgusting scheming monster. Everything he does as the Clown is filthy and vile and much he can accomplish in the form, and yet underneath the skin is something far more sinister.
I guess I just like goof characters with "I'm not laughing anymore" moments
I only find RL and death scary, no fiction scares me anymore but I still like it because I like macaber things.
Telling someone how something is or isn’t scary is like explaining an absurdist joke on logical lines. It doesn’t work.
When this fucker possesed doctors in the middle of surgery and forced them to cut Dani for fun I was pretty disturbed
you know the mobsters, the clowns, and evil doctors are one thing if you live in gotham, but this shit here would make me leave immediately
Ey that's not so-
>the fingers
ok that's weird.
Otherwise, I seem to recall this guy from The Batman?
He was creepiest in Secret Six.
you just aren't imaginative enough
we're adults so we're not really scared, we know its fiction but thinking about some of these characters and concepts created can be unsettling if you think about it
Exactly this. Like, imagine how some guy in Metropolis would react if he was told the details about the threat posed by Anton Arcane.
>So, there’s a lich that has made himself the king of all rotting things, and is also a Nazi, and he wants to fuck his niece. Oh, and he wants to kill everything so that he can control everything.
Like, that’s gonna ruin that guy’s fucking week.
>mazel tov
fuckin kek
Oh wow, the show actually did something right for once
He controls blood. He's basically a giant heart metahuman
What the fuck is it with modern Batman and body horror? Between this guy and Dollmaker, fml.
And Jane Doe; she doesn’t have skin!
Check out what the actor can do. Guy can go completely limp like he doesn’t have joints, and can just about turn his head completely around
Yeah I saw him on America's Got Talent. Cool thing about shows like that is you don't even have to win, you just have to be good enough to get seen on television and offers come to you.
Jesus. How is that even possible? I mean, you can't survive without skin, you would have constant infections.
It’s okay. She can just wear other people’s skins! If she isn’t present and accounted for in Arkham, there’s never a one hundred percent chance that she isn’t some random person in Gotham.
I honsetly loved the designs
I guess in a world where people fly it's possible that this person doesn't go into septic shock in less than 24 hours.
A fan theory I heard was that she may have made a deal with some demons to become like that. In her debut in Arkham: Living Hell Etrigan and others visit the place, and she wasn't seen again until it was in her current form, so maybe she made some sort of deal off-panel. Killer Moth did the same thing for a time when he was Charaxes.
General Forteus comes to mind.
He's going to completely destroy his brain and body trying to kill Hulk.
Why have I only now realized that Fassbender should be the Corinthian.
Curse of the gif my dude
What he did to Cyborg in Episode 12 was fucking monstrous and scary.
Fuck I hope they make Netflix's Sandman a stylistic masterpiece and not cheap as shit like Krypton. Because of Goyer's involvement...I'm worried.
Isn't that the old couple from When The Wind Blows?
Fortunately, yes
He sure likes ripping his face open.
that's actually a pretty cool design
source, please??
Thats true, but then you keep going and explain that the evil lich is being constantly fought by an immortal avatar of nature and life that has complete and absolute control over all plants, oh and then you both look out the window and see Superman fly by, and then suddenly things don't actually seem so bad anymore.
Like if Anton just by himself existed in our world it would be beyond horrifying, but in the context of a superhero world, this isn't that big of a thing, because there are equally powerful forces working against him, and maybe you have even shaken hands with Superman at a charity benefit or watched Wonder Woman rip a literal demon from Hell completely in half on live TV and you know that you've got heroes on your side and you aren't so worried any more.
>vampire t-rex
I was born to view this jpg
What the fuck
I think it was the Buffy comics, but Buffy vampires are actually blood demons created by Maloker, last of the Old Ones, spilling his blood into human hosts. Is that Kenny?
I'm pretty sure thats from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics and is the origin of the vampires.
Vampire t-rex needs a name. And a cape. And maybe a black vest with a red shirt underneath...
Oh wait, no. That issue was the comic adaptation of an in-universe movie based on the events of a previous comic plot arc. So that's based on Kenny, but the information presented is inaccurate.
I mean, like I said, there's still a demon t-rex. He just didn't have volcanoes of blood.
Hulk is the jobbest there is
It's just not the same without the volcanoes of blood...
is this that devil dinosaur character from marvel
>Fucking Pyg is the most genuinely disturbing Batman villain, and they stuck him in a cartoon for kids.
to be fair the Beware The Batman version of Pyg has basically nothing in common with the comic's version of Pyg besides the name and the fact that they both wear Pig masks
Something about Freak felt out of place for being a Spider-Man villain
thanks for reminding me that Brand New Day exists
This entire story-line was filler, but it was also the best Hellboy ever was.
>Goyer
Well, it’s fucked.
The Ten Seconders
Honestly she'd be much creepier if everything was normal but she was missing a nose.
>When you suddenly realize this development is a complete ripoff of when Wade Eiling took over Shaggyman’s body during Morrison’s JLA run
Huh, no wonder I feel so under hyped for the next issue.
Cool. But I guess his powers is just too lethal for joining the Rogues.
Depends on writer sometimes, but he's given me a bunch of creepy vibes before and obviously the design is just excellent.
FUCK YEAH LAD, ESPECIALLY THE ORIGIN EPISODE WHEN THEY POURED THE SHIT ON HIM. IT WAS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE FUEL. MY GRANDPA LOOOOVED BATMAN ANIMATED, AS HE GREW UP READING BATMAN COMICS AND HE WAS LIKE "FUCK YEAH, THIS SHIT IS AWESOME, DID YOU SEE IT GRANDSON?" WHILE I WAS LIKE "OMG WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING TO HIM
Bruce Banner's distorted memories of his abusive father
well deserved death
so what's his deal?
So... a shitty Cthulhu ripoff?
im not a dickfag but I really wish most of those villains from morrison's run would have stayed purely as rogues for Dick Grayson somehow.
Empowered has some top tier scary villains, this fucker and Death monger. Mindfuck's brother is probably up there too, we'll see on the next volume next month.
You mean empowered is more than cheesecake and bad jokes?
is this from the next issue? I've not been able to find it.
For me it's Billy Kincaid.
Whatever the fuck this was.
assistant chan looks cute
He and Pyg would be best of friends.
This guy right here
Horror games and movies are not scary either.
I used to think so too after years of being desensitized watching cartel videos and what not, but your surroundings play a part in this too.
I recently watched a "scary" movie in a hotel restaurant all by myself, at night, with the lights turned off and it was a very unique experience. Definitely felt fright for the first time in a long while.
Obvious, but when done well.
Wait... did they make ANOTHER ginger black?
See, Hollywood? This right here is an example of casting the best guy for the role regardless of race. Yes, he's black, but he's also a fucking living special effect.
Source?
Nothing, it's just that this particular story (whatever it is) refers '24 hours'.
Fortean.
Also the face design is derived from Zenith.
Yeah, but he only wants to kill you. That's all.
yeah, nothing is scarier than your mother, we know it already
Odd how Perpetua did not refer those monsters.
They seemed far more in line with her desires.
Superman would find him pretty quickly.
...so they did. Huh.
For me it's Jamie Braddock, insane omega level mutant brother of Cap Britain and Psylocke who can manipulate reality.
Mad Jim Jaspers
Something about such a lowlife creep having control of all reality scares me.
Reality warping madmen have become a bit cliche
>Something about such a lowlife creep having control of all reality scares me.
Not religious then, I am guessing.
I like his design
Jim is a Sir though and was the Primier Minister though(on thr other hand if we look at the current Premier Minister... ok)
A fun and good one though.
Sauce?
Prime Minister.
The word you're looking for is Prime Minister.
Though I guess I haven't read that far into the series to know if there are any Premier Ministers.
I love the tubes of butter, not sure what that's for.
Sometimes, you have to racebend because they're just the best actor for the role.
Disgusting is not scary.
Something something Luther Strode.
Any of the Supergods.
I assume he wants to fatten up the pigs. I just don't know why.
I'm fine with that, it's when they do it on purpose for political reasons I can't stand. I actually liked Fishburne as Perry, would have loved to have heard him say "my black ass" or something based.
Ooo good one.
Extra fat to keep the brains alive during the procedure? Brains are mostly fat.
>Source?
Morrison's JL #50
The one that’s really stayed with me was the Palmiotti Hex issue where the frontierswomen were forcibly turning men into pigs. Kind of a reverse Professor Pyg situation
Interesting, what issue?
Captain Cadaver.
I'm not sure if it was his monstrous Nosferatu/Gollum appearance, the comic-con cosplay costume, or his interior monologue casting himself as a heroic, suave lady's man while he was hunting women, slaughtering everyone in his path, but Cap Cad was the perfect mix of pathos and terror. Like a Kiwifarms Lolcow cast as The Shape in Halloween.
Issue 26, but like I gotta take the chance to just say read all of their Hex, it’s fantastic and a lot of fun.
wasn't spiders-man based on him?
God I wish they'd use him more often like this. Especially with the hole in the face and not saying a word.
The Sleepman.
A guy with a bag on his head who rapes and kills superheroines.
Edgy before edgy was even a thing.
Morrison's last issue was 41. But now I am wondering whether I should pick up the rest.
I kept asking the same question when people all over the internet couldn't shut up about how terrifying Kilgrave is.
I still don't get what people see in him that is so scary.
This page spooked me pretty good the first time I read it.
Do they eat them too?
Hunter Rose/Grendel.
I don't think any fictional characters except maybe Golgo 13 and The Zero Assassin have ever given the guarantee of certain death like this guy. If you become ensnared in his web of affairs and you're not one of his slaves, you're already dead.
Mind by Machiavelli, body by Baryshnikov, fought both Batman and The Shadow to a standstill, and Argent, the only madman powerful enough to oppose him, patently was no match for him, could not save you from him, and would yet happily kill you to get at him.
Willie Pete.
Some kind of fire elemental who fucks superheroes and villains in the eye because normal humans burn up too fast.
Freeze rays don't work on him, and a telepath once remarked that his mind is an artificial construction, rather than a diseased human one, whatever that means.
Dr blasphemy always made me feel uncomfortable. He’s probably the character that I love the most from bratpack
What the fuck was his problem?
Colonel Glass.
A healing factor the equal of Wolverines, and a complete control of any glass.
He raped Mecha Maid's mother, was probably her father, and threw her as a baby into the air as a distraction to kill White Heron.
The Heckler.
Cthulhu + the Space Jockey from Alien.
He looks so utterly bored with this all.
The King-Of-All-Tears.
The ultimate boogeyman, part Lovecraftian otherdimensional horror, part Hellraiser Cenobite, part H.R. Giger insectoid disease farm.
Runs the government, the police, the military, the schools, the television and the newspapers. Beat him and he just folds himself back through time to attack you in the future.
That art is so fucking awful compared to the previous examples.
At least Flamingo. He would make a great exclusive Nightwing villain.
How long did Joker go without a face?
Bruce Wayne’s ancestor from hundreds of years ago. Was in a satanic cult that successfully summoned a demon entity Darkseid had attached to Bruce. Hurt is driven completely mad, but is immortal, invincible and resourceful due to his incredibly long life. To make it worse, Darkseid is constantly eating away from Hurt’s insides due to the omega effect. Just the same, Hurt is going to take Damian Wayne’s soul, and convince the president in twenty years to drop a nuke on Gotham.
>whatever the fuck that guy is
>quoting Steinbeck
I love comic books so much
this was fucking stupid, you fags are too easily impressed
Always thought he was more funny than scary in a dark comedy way
Fishburne as Perry White would’ve been godly if the script was written with two giant hams pressing down on a keyboard over and over. Like, can you imagine the sort of look he’d give you if you weren’t going to meet deadline?
>implying that they were the villains
god that book is so fantastic
You have to have a life worth living to understand existential horror.
I perfectly understand existential horror, I see nothing scary in that particular character.
>You mean empowered is more than cheesecake and bad jokes?
Yes. And the idea of being skullfucked to death by a horny fire elemental is extremely unpleasant.
that movie changed me
>there is nothing scary and about petty, childish, and violent rapist with mind control powers
It's one of the few "being a hero sucks" books where being a villain sucks just as bad, if not worse.
Yes. There is nothing scary about that just like there's nothing scary about most shit posted here
>there's no difference between shitposting and a psychopath taking away your free will, making you into a robot and forcing you to do anything he wants you to do
Wow, so it is him. I disagree with it being the worst season though, mainly because of his performance. The ending was full however.
That he had been created. And was aware of the flow of time. Apparently it made him nihilistic.
In his defense, he had been created as a super-weapon - and they named him after the Muslim equivalent of the Anti-Christ.
>TFW these were simply the universe equivalent of puberty zits
There is nothing scary about a sadist who can make you do whatever he wants?
He was literally the only reason that I kept watching, because the entire cast had gone swimming in a lake with brain eating amoebas. He was fucking incredible throughout, though. Finding out that was an actual person and not a convoluted special effect is mind blowing.
Yes, otherwise Freddy Krueger would still be scary. There has to be something more for actual horror to exist.
jeez someone get the KKK
Not read it since release, but he takes the form of your worst nightmare. He comes around every 100 years or so to kill off this person called the Geomancer? But there's a royal knight who's immortal & has to defeat it every time, but he fails every single time. This generation of Geomancer grew up with a nightmare about a crooked man like magician or something. Sorry, I can't remember it for the life of me. Not read it since release.
The reason why Krueger isn't scary anymore is because they made him into a clown. Not to mention that the filmmakers didn't try to make characters that the audience could invest themselves in, and as such, could not be scared for. Meanwhile, one of the best horror movies of last year was a sequel to the original Halloween movie, that didn't add any gimmicks to Michael Meyers or do anything weird with him, they just gave us characters that we cared about and then put them in mortal danger for their lives with the only person able to protect them being a seventy year old woman with more PTSD than a sack full of snakes.
Like, have you tried to empathize more with Jessica Jones? Try to see the situation from her perspective? Or any of Kilgrave's other victims? I don't know how to explain to you that mind controlling psychopaths are incredibly dangerous and scary.
Yes and I still feel no sense of dread from him. He's vile but I'm not scared of him like I was scared, say, of the cult in Hereditary.
I don't know, maybe something is wrong with me but I just don't see it at all.
This was cool but the sound effects ruined it: they didn't even seem to come off the guy and also please imagine how horrifying this would be if the Ragdoll was totally silent
Dr. Herman Manglar aka Nightcrawler. Even D-Compose was scared of him.
I've always wondered if there's a way to do Maxie Zeus as a legitimate, serious and scary threat.
your taste is shit and you wasted 4 image slots.
It was terrifying how monstrously stupid this idea was.
I wish the show did stuff like this more often.
youtube.com
That issue was kino, it's such a shame it was a Prof. Hulk origin story. Professor Hulk sucks
Forgot the other link
youtube.com
Use Arkham Asylum's version but with superpowers.
The fact that people haven't mentioned Stormin Norman yet upsets me. Dude is one of the few villains that makes my sphincter close and want to call my immediate family to make sure they're all right. This dude literally crucifies his own employees along with impaling them and throwing them off a goddamn mountain. Imagine if he actually had a grudge against you.
The Immortal Enemy spawns everytime a new Geomancer comes to earth, just to totally fuck their shit up.
He implied that he jerks off in the Goblin costume he killed Gwen Stacy in, for Christ's sakes.
Jim's the real deal though. On that note....
The original terminator
Fuck this guy
Bill Butcher's wet dream - The perfect expression of Moore's disdain for superheroes.
'Watchmen' is a love letter by comparison.
I love how Gaiman depicts Scarecrow as an edgy prankster that fails to even surprise people.
What about scary superheroes?
He's an annoying overrated cunt that needs to be put down for good, just like the Joker.
No one but a complete edamame slurper is going to be scared by shit written by a faggot who gets cucked by a lying Serb whore.
Yes, next Wednesday.
It might just scare the shit out of parents after they realize their kids are watching Pyg and before they realize it’s not their Pyg.
While there are definitely similarities, I would not consider Norman to be nearly as try hard as Joker. Joker is a goddamn embarrassment in current comics. Norman is always a treat to read in any capacity. Also the duality between Norman and Goblin is significantly more interesting than whatever shit goes on within Joker. Also Osborn's funnier.
>Comic Nerd Dad is in the kitchen making snacks for his kids while they watch Beware the Batman
>Volume is up loud enough that he can hear it from the other room
>someone refers to Professor Pyg and he runs out of the kitchen ready to change the channel
>watches for a minute or two before skulking away muttering about it not being his Pyg
She’s pretty weird, made me call her Auntie Mo.
whats that from?
He's such a joke though.
You just keep digging.
He's a joke that will do what no other Bat-villain has done. He's totally out of his mind, and his plan is successful. Hurt killed Gotham.
what series can i read about this guy in
i've never read captain britain shit
X-Men Archives Presents Captain Britain: Crooked World
>implying that's a bad thing
not scary
Oh no, not at all. Gotham deserves to be wiped off the face of the planet. Just saying that Hurt is the most successful bat villain of all.
he's been stretched too thin at this point
i don't think he was ever 'scary' either, he was a really good villain though
If the fucking incels hadn't chased Kevin Smith away from The CW, we could have had this guy instead of whoever is wearing a bag on his head this season.
He's Bruce's ancestor if a direct line can be drawn between him and Bruce.
Eh, I kind of feel like he's a character that really only works in print format.
Dude, Osborn is not scary.
I just watched the first episode of this and I just love how the bad guys absolutely handle things no bullshit.
Like at the end of the episode the Chtulu-looking motherfucker just comes knocking on their goddamn base instead of just hiding away in a lair like most villains did in 80s cartoons.
Definitely going to watch this all an episode a night. It's nuts, but in a good way.
What's this from?
Now that's bad ass.
Casuals spewing buzzwords as to why their precious live action was ruined are not worth entertaining
Spinerette
I miss when the X-Men had to deal with the real ass horror of evil mutants. At least they never put the Shadow King in a suit.
Unless that's what's up with Xavier.
I think it handles superhero satire much better than say, the Boys and Warren's sci fi background lets him explore super power concepts much better than other writers. The man can do a badass action scene and since it's a creator owned comic he can do what he likes so there are consequences. The comedy aspects make you like the characters and then, inevitably Real Bad Stuff happens, and there's a genuine sense of menace because this is an author who will kill characters if his muse tells him to
The title of the thread made me think of Karnak, although he's not really a villain or a hero, he's something else.
what MK run is this?
Why does people love to ripoff Morrison so much? Then the fans of these same writers also shit on him for no reason. It’s just such a joke.
I like that Pyg is the only villain that really feels insane. Every other villain has their specific quirks and mental problems, but Pyg just spews out random nonsense constantly.
Uh, where do you get this impression Ewingheads hate Morrisonites? Ewing was influenced Morrison, without becoming a cover band like Gerard Way, Morrison doesn't exist in a vacuum either but unless you're that one weird guy on Yea Forums you wouldn't call him a "Alan Moore ripoff whose fans also shit on him for no reason".
Anton Arcane, master of the Rot and archenemy of Swamp Thing.
Also his father-in-law technically.
That's his son.
The real Rag Doll was a sociopathic cult leader/mass murderer/rapist.
How many major American cities have been nuked in the DC universe? Green Lantern's city, Nightwing's and now Batman's? Shit's a bit ridiculous, don't you think? I remember when superheroes stopped the bad guy Before the death ray got fired.
>Casuals
>buzzwords
Wasn't Captain Marvel's city blown up by Mr. Mind?
That villain would be Norman Rotrig, the Man Who Laughs AKA the French Joker.
After his mother died giving birth to him, his artist father cut his lips off, giving him a permanent smile.
Rotrig got his revenge by turning his father into "performance art", as you can see.
He was supposed to be in season 1 but Smith thought the audience would think he was retarded, so instead we got Mr. Blank (the black bald assassin guy).
I think the large reason why people don't find Osborn "scary" per say is because they've never had an actual enemy like him. Someone who doesn't care about financial gain. Someone that doesn't care about world domination (at least not most of the time). Someone that doesn't care about personal advancement. This is someone who wants to torment you. Who wants to make your every waking existence agony. Someone that is a constant companion in the sense they are a humor tumor destroying every part of your life.
This person is a sickness. They are a disease. They are a drain in every sense of the word. And they are SMART. They are so fucking smart it will terrify you. They will learn where you work and stalk it mercilessly (like he did Peter). He will find out who your friends are an infiltrate your social circle only to destroy it from the inside. He will learn all your secrets and insecurities and prey on them. Not to kill you. There's no fun in that. They want to see you suffer. They want to see a human cinder and you're the dry wood. Osborn is not scary because of his overt appearance (although the Goblin costume helps), he's scary because of his personal investment. I've had a stalker once, and knowing they've been in my personal space when I wasn't there and did god knows what is one of the most unsettling feelings I've ever had in my entire life.
What makes Pyg fun is that Morrison did a lot of research on schizophrenia, so that he could pull it off well and not just have him be another CUH-RAZEE Arkham inmate.
>Pyg just spews out random nonsense constantly.
The other fun thing is that Pyg ISN'T spouting random nonsense and is Morrison going full Shakespeare with having a crazy person's babbles be prophetic, or make reference to clever shit the author's trying. Comics Alliance did really great annotated reads of Morrison's work on Batman, and basically every one of Pyg's lines has references to ancient mythology (Tiamat this and Tiamat that (Tiamat being a dragon that destroys the world, which is, itself, a reference to Darkseid as Tiamat is an evil god whose desire is complete darkness)) Hindu mysticism (tohu va bohu is another reference to apocalyptic mythology) and then there's some childhood development shit thrown in with the Pyg's wireframe mother (see the Harry Harlow's (who Pyg ALSO references in several places) experiments on infant monkeys, and be prepared to have nightmares)).
Pyg is Morrison at his absolute best.
Vandal Savage nuked Montevideo in DC One Million
Shit. He looks disturbing.
There was so much cool shit in Batman and Robin after Morrison was finished, and so much complete nonsense, like that chick that had a hole bored through her head.
Holy shit.
>Zoom - Hunter Zolomon
Anyone that doesn't find this person genuinely terrifying is a straight up fucking liar.
>google Channel Zero
>some show about the fictional show candle cove
Wasn't that originally some sort of creepy pasta? I remember reading about that somewhere.
Grow some fucking balls. Stalkers aren’t scary. They’re just weirdos who follow you around. Deal with them just like everyone else. Jesus Christ
Boo boo a single pair of twins died. Compared to everyone else posted this is a drop in the pond. A 3/10 loony would be scarier than this faggot. What are you gonna post next? Black Manta?
It was a four season long story that stretched out creepypastas into 10 hour long episodes. First three were pretty good, fourth was...not...but none of them have anything beyond a passing resemblance with their origin, barring the first season, which is easily the best of the four and easy to recommend.
Pretty much the future of 85% of the the board users. Turning to a TV with interest and then sulking away while muttering "not muh".
109135578
Pedantic
Damn you're a hard guy. And intimidating.
Glad someone has some goddamn sense. Half of these are scary, the other half make me laugh at thus collection of posters. Like, have they ever read an actual comic that is scary? My guess is no because Yea Forums doesn’t bother to read comics. This thread is the definition of embarrassment. The only villain that even registers on my radar is Doctor Fate and even he is shit outside of unconsciousness.
Huh, that actually sounds interesting. Thank for letting me know about this.
No sweat. Oh yeah, and the third season is really fucking weird and sort of amazing in its own way, but has nothing to do with the Search and Rescue series which is a shame, regardless of how good the 'adaptation' was.
dude what the fuck
that looks hella rad
Which Swamp Thing run is that?
fucking this
don't forget his twin
I always assumed his "mother" was Talia, since Pyg started as a Leviathan scientist.
It's an Invunche, a creature from Chilean myth.
>The invunche is a deformed human with its head twisted backwards, along with having twisted arms, fingers, nose, mouth and ears. The creature walks on one foot or on three feet (actually one leg and two hands) because one of its legs is attached to the back of its neck. The invunche cannot talk, and communicates only by guttural, rough and unpleasant sounds.
It's from Alan Moore's run
>Doctor Fate
If he’s after you, it’s no wonder you’re never scared. It’s because you don’t have a damn soul.
A nuclear bomb went off just outside Seattle when Ollie died.
The fucking best one. Moore's run. The issue where that whole arcs ends is my favorite single comix of all time: Double Sized Swamp Thing #50
>two sets of teeth
But those are just lampreys.
Too bad he only appeared once during a boring Negative Flash story arc.
It's also worth noting that Season 3 (Butcher's Block) is one of the last major projects that Rutger Hauer worked on prior to his death, and he absolutely kills it in his role.
...
Supergods has both funny and spooky moments.
>Hindu mysticism (tohu va bohu is another reference to apocalyptic mythology)
Tohu va bohu is from the Hebrew Bible, though. Very first verses of Genesis.
Now i'm fucking angry and disgusted by looking at that.
the crossed obviously are both scary/disturbing
Wait, the author expects me to believe that dinosaurs were intelligent enough to contemplate supernatural concepts like gods, let alone curse them?
I thought Coast City was destroyed by Warworld.
Specifically Mirage. There's a reason why Shredder died in the first issue.
That fucker who was the anthropomorphic personification of humanity's fear of the dark at the end of Fables was pretty spooky with his teeth deal. Too bad the writing went to absolute shit before he appeared.
Wot dis?
Shit, my bad. Thanks for calling that to my attention.
It's also not apocalyptic unless you want to really stretch the term. It refers to the state of the Universe before the six days of creation and is today a slang term for a chaotic mess. Some modern Jewish thinkers have posited this being a reference to the circumstances surrounding the Big Bang.

Cornelius Stirk.
A psionic cannibal obsessed with consuming the organs of people he frightens to death, for the therapeutic effects of fear hormones in the meat.
The original Shredder was genuinely terrifying. Before he was portrayed as Cobra Commander/Joke Darth Vader, he was basically Bruce Lee covered in razor blades, and had no problem with fridging your wife before fighting you.
Rip off of The Rot from Animal Man
Indeed. Shredder is legit more terrifying that most super villains intentionally designed that way.
Butcher's Block was good too.
Anyone else think Controller works better as a disturbing mind control villain than Purple Man is? He's not refined and cultured, he's huge, smelly and disgusting, probably actually insane and can also make people his slaves.
Jesus, yes, this.
I started Empowered for the hawt chicks, and then it got...DARK.
Willy Pete is absolute top tier, and MF's brother might be even worse.
Hell, poor little Ninjette, too....
ow the edge.
Empowered is so good. Thugboy is hard core.
> DC Entertainment’s most expensive TV series yet.
>Allan Heinberg (who co-wrote the recent “Wonder Woman” film) will serve as showrunner
>Gaiman will also be involved, writing the first episode alongside Heinberg and David S. Goyer.
I can't tell which way it'll go
Honestly looks pretty cool.
Constantine was pretty good
>Gaiman writes the first episode, it's movie-length and shows us Dream getting all his stuff back in a perfect adaptation to film
>episode 2 has Dream teaming up with a hot insomniac police detective to solve crime, with occasional guest appearances of his sister Death giving them a hand with some of the victims last words
Would not even be mad at this point.
Calm down Scott McCloud
>not the one where he punishes the future of the whole human race and then stands outside to burn in the firestorm
Hey those guys did the crime.
Okay so name something scary then.
NO SHUT UP EWING IS A GENIUS FUCK OFF LADDERBRO
He drink milk. He good boy.
>for the therapeutic effects of fear hormones in the meat
So he's Chinese?
Basically anything by Junji Ito. Reading his comics are unnerving because If just how screwed your are. There’s no fighting it. Whatever happens happens. Know it’s not standard Yea Forums material but everything after is kinda tame. If we’re talking Marvel comics, the new Hulk Run is the closest I’ve come to being unnerved by what I was seeing.
>Junji Ito
>not standard Yea Forums material
How new are you?
Been here for years. Gotten shit
tons of flak for even mentioning manga so I thought to preface by saying not standard (comics and cartoons).
I swear I would use a magical genie wish to be a fly on the wall during this interview that was so amazing that a skinny Latino Catholic was the choice for an obese white clown demon.
They were right, too. Leguizamo doesn't get enough credit.
>Yeah, but he only wants to kill you. That's all.
Yeah but he wants the complete destruction of all life, purely because he sees it as ultimate justice. That's pretty terrifying.
His appearance in Deadworld has to be the creepiest, I could see the or play him.
>"Didn't talk, moved like East European animation"
Damn straight. Love the guy.
Modern Doctor Psycho always struck me like Hannibal Lecter with mind control. Not necessarily the cannibal aspect insomuch as just manipulating people and making them degrade themselves for his amusement.
....although he isn't above some delicious Grundy
>i'm black
shut up
/ourguy/
this is what you'd be as a superish villain
??? This a meme I don't know?
Did the reanimator summon some bargain basket cenobites?
You're like a pizza cutter
All edge, and no point.
More/Less
They're a torture porn dimension that essentially know how to cure every disease because they experiment with every disease in their methods of causing pain (can't have their victims be killed otherwise you lose inventory). He tried to contact them to get from them some knowledge to cure a something he caught from a one-night-stand.
does he count?
Wait, Sandman isn’t going to be on the streaming platform? But Matt Cable was killed in the last episode of Swamp Thing
Dude did the entire movie on his fucking knees. Same thing with Moulin Rouge. For whatever reason, when Leguizamo is playing a short person, he doesn’t go for special effects. Underappreciated actor.
Not totally sure what’s going on there, but the image reminds me of the stage version of Little Shop of Horrors, where Audrey II didn’t just eat people, she absorbed their souls. In the stage version, those little pods that provide backup singing, are the heads of everyone she’s eaten.
>he wouldn't take a chance with a skinless qt
His debut had a pretty good mad scientist/town with a dark secret vibe that could have been used more in future appearances, so he has the potential to be, yes. In fact, the internet should make technopath villains like him more dangerous.
it's kind of like that
once he kills someone, he absorbs them into his shell which keeps them alive for as long as he lives, which presuming that he is immortal, keeps them in eternal pain and suffering.
you can kill him but that will only kill everyone on his shell in the process
Forgot my image, though I’m sure everyone on this board knows who Audrey II is.
That is Jinmen. It's a demon turtle that eats people. In order to defend itself, the people it eats are integrated into itself as a part of its shell, fully aware and unable to be removed. If you attack them they will feel pain and suffer and die, and of course you can only kill Jinmen by killing them too.
Moony rhymes with Looney
I love how you're trying to act as if you're an expert in the comic medium by bringing up Junji fucking Ito, one of the most well known mangaka in the world outside of shonen artists.
The worst part is that by your own post's admission, you should realize his work barely fits this thread because it's asking specifically for spooky VILLAINS, and his works usually barely have any clear antagonist, let alone an actual villain.
Later on
You couldn’t have picked a more entry level horror mangaka you fuckin retard
>Sentences you to death by military tribunal for killing a superior officer in 1978
>Offers you a pardon if you participate in a military test
>Marries your widow
>Buries her after she dies
>Raises your kids to believe that their biological father was a traitor to America so much that your name is an insult in the house
>Tries to shoot you into space when you re-emerge in reality 18 years later
>Convinces Reagan to ignore the pardon order and blackmail you into being a superhero for the US military
>Forces you to infiltrate the JLI/E and manipulate them for US interests
eventually revealed that he was running the drug smuggling organization that your superior officer in Vietnam was killed over
and he's just a regular human, until he got turned into the Shaggy Man years after Captain Atom was cancelled
I love totally human characters like that. They have no excuse for being awful, they just are. Like how Sam Lane helped Lex to destroy New Krypton, which is literally genocide and entailed the deaths of like, fifty thousand people.
Silent War
I know they're just knock-off Cenobites, but yeah, this does it for me.
Being Captain Atom is suffering
There's a pretty funny panel in his run with him and Metamorpho complaining to eachother where Rex is trying to sound like his life is worse and Atom just keeps one-upping him.
When you can credibly say your life is worse than fucking Metamorpho...
I found it.
I keep forgetting how dark the original Devilman manga was.
Worst case of Black-Face ever
>this dude
Bunp
Frank ain't a villain, but he is also not a hero. He is a force of nature.
Ah. An user of culture
Genis Vel post-cosmic insanity is truly unsettling. It's not even the concept of a Superman-gone-wacko, as much as the fact that awareness of EVERYTHING in the universe drove him mad. That's a downside to omnipotence that no one ever truly considers; if one truth could drive a normal man over the edge, what would all truth do to that same mind?
...lawl.
and that one goes into my collection
?
Frank just kills.
Jack Spicer is the best cartoon villian.
Prove me wrong
*Frank just franks*
Exactly.
>Frank Castle is DEAD. However, the message has yet to reach his body...
I love it when Frank is allowed to just be an insane person who we're just lucky has pointed himself at criminals.
I meant my cool post collection
Jesus user you've inadvertently posted something on-topic.
What happened here?
explain
Maybe I'm wrong for it, but I prefer the Punisher that doesn't even try to justify his actions. He just does them because that's who he is and that's what he does.
One of the 3 hunters of The Root. From N52 Animal Man.
It's too bad that Cronenberg doesn't think highly of comic books, cause he'd do an amazing Animal Man movie.
Body horror like this gives me existential chills. Same with that image of Black Canary's face sewn onto some Frankenstein's monster type creature, where you can see the look of utter dread.
My head-canon is that it's a sliding scale of Punisher-insanity. It starts off with the old school,
>"Every criminal I get off the street might mean another family gets to make it back from a day in the park,"
to the more unhinged,
>"The law is weak. Society needs people like me. The world requires punishment and there isn't enough of it going around,"
before eventually ending up in the ballpark of your picture, where he just slaughters creeps out of pure rage and hatred with no real goal except maybe the whole thing being a really really unsuccessful attempt at suicide-by-gunshot. Poor Frank.
Granted, he wasn't a supervillain, but when he actually got angry at someone, it was usually a fate worse than death.
The best Frank Castle is the "Another day, another dead criminal" Punisher.
He did some villainous shit.
What about when a cop annoyed Delirium and she made him think he was covered with bugs for the rest of his life?
I think that was Millar's/Quietly's Authority run
haha forgot pic
This moment was awesome, as well as the revelation of the eight cosmos being jailed. It showed Ewing's knack for existential horror.
Idk guys, nothing scares me in comics and vidya. I know none of it is real and everything leads to a plot resolution, almost always with the horror bested or walking away alter punishing it's summoner.
I'd like a storytime of that one.
What run is this from? This design is super good I never have seen it before.
It's just daredevil's sonar vision
yeah I realized it as soon as i posted it. Still it would be a great design to use more often.
>Somewhere in hell the soul of Hunter Rose begins to laugh
While Grendel wouldn't be my first choice for a 'scary' character I can totally see it.
A few things are pretty unsettling about Hunter.
His hypocritical moral code, complete disregard for most civilians caught in his game and his utter refusal to accept what his actions will bring about in the future even after being told are a few of the things that got to me.
There is also something fucked up in a narrative sense about Hunter not only losing his life but causing the entire world to gradually fall apart with the one good deed he committed in his miserable life.
I find the concept of a Batman clone who is nihilistic to be genuinely unsettling.
All that intelligence & capability and at the end of the day all he wants is to destroy reality. He's not a "conqueror" and he's not after any kind of physical/monetary gain, because everything is meaningless in the first place, and he wants to accelerate that notion in a tangible way.
This is not scary. It's also badly written.
No.
He is absolutely horrific though.
Speaking of which, this motherfucker didn't hold back at all.
Captain Stardust isn't a villain, but he stretches the definition of 'hero' to its furthest fucking limits.
I can't imagine anyone would sleep well at night knowing there's an magic Ubermensch who can make your head eat your own body and abandon you on some kind of living hell-planet.
Anton Arcane is fucked in general. His whole reveal with taking over Abigail's husband included.
He was literally so evil that the world got more evil as he grew in power.
God that's fucked.
Mind Bomb was fucked up.
Man, what he did to Pete really fucked me up.
>and Jigsaw
Wait is that Punisher x Batman comic canon?
That's not even Khonshu.
Moon Knight's just shining that guy on with the help of The Profiler.
...
>implying he isn’t a supervillain
When will Arcane ever learn though?
Not like he can actually be killed, so he can keep trying whenever he wants.
>captain stardust
Yeah, he's one of my favorite characters alongside Captain Deadpool, Captain Batman, Captain Dr. Strange, and Captain Captain America
One thing I will always love about Frank is that he doesn't just have an origin, he has a destination. He moves from one thing to another thing, another type of antihero, over the course of his life. And you can have a story where he's anywhere on that spectrum, because he was that person at some point.
The Swampy show was much better than I expected, but holy shit did they do a good job with depicting him as a terrifying MONSTER. He’s capable of being as gentle as Superman, but when you’ve seriously fucked with him he’ll quarter you with vines.
Garfield
Yeet
that's kind of hot
I love how Swampy is, for all intents and purposes a god, and most of his opponents are still able to manipulate him because gods are fallible, they can be tricked and they can be outsmarted, and every one of Swampy's biggest threats have access to knowledge that he doesn't, which makes them far more powerful than an actual god.
They managed to do that reveal in the show incredibly well, too.
I love the tail end Moore issues.
> I'm busy writing Watchmen, Killing Joke, Miracleman, and V for Vendetta
> Fuck it, lets just go to space so my artists can draw whatever cool shit they want
People that have functioning brains never ceases to amaze me. Like, I know those are all classics, but at the time, for Moore, it was just WORK. And he was doing all of it at the same time or in close proximity, and meanwhile my fucking anxiety is so bad that I can only leave the house to go to the ATM so I can order weed. And I haven’t written anything that’s longer than five pages in longer than two years. Awwwwwwesooooome.
my moorish brethren!!!
I was gonna dig out my omnibus and take a pic of this exact scene.
Plague of Frogs was peak BPRD
