DOOMSDAY

[@tracebaker]

I recently found out how popular Swamp Thing is. Like he's just big in the horror fandom alone, you don't even have to be a comic fan to know him. He's getting alot of popularity recently along with Constantine as well.

[@Slappaccino]

Swamp Thing is awesome.

[@poreddyjeevanreddy3002]

Both r my favs. JC n ST

[@degenahhgeee4333]

Crazy how the justice league really shades some of the undervalued characters. Swap thing needs more love. Swap thing can swept out the entire justice league, they should be happy he’s on the “good” side

[@BowmansWorld]

Recently? Swamp thing has always been popular u fool, go read the moore, collins, or new 52 runs.

[@tracebaker]

@@BowmansWorld Dude you don't have to call me a fool. Yes he's always been popular among comic fans, but I think he's gotten bigger in the horror genre cause of the canceled show that happened recently. Idk though, I'm not a horror fan, but I've heard alot of horror fans talk about him lately.

[@tracebaker]

I also want to add that not only was Swamp Thing based solely on Man Thing, but the creators of both characters were literally room mates.

[@Cervando]

Both copied Airboy's The Heap.

[@tracebaker]

@@Cervando Huh, I've never heard of the Heap. That's cool to know more about Swamp Thing and Man Things history.

[@basilelrobeh946]

Solomon Grundy is easily among my favorite comic monsters. Just love the dude.

[@ComicBookGuy420]

Grundy was always a favourite of mine too🤟

[@UltimateSpider1385]

Some of the monsters that I know from Comics are Solomon Grundy, Man-Bat, Man-Thing, Morbius, Werewolf By Night, Killer Croc, Etrigan, Hellboy, and Swamp Thing.

[@MU-we8hz]

The Swamp Thing serie was awesome! GIVE US SEASON 2!!!!!!!!

[@ComicBookGuy420]

I felt they should have put Matt Ryan as Constantine and swamp thing together for the show

[@Jo3Duk3]

Unfortunately they canceled it 😢

[@SONICgokuverine]

This seemed like a very safe list. But I guess “Top 10 Monsters” and “Top 10 Scariest Monsters” are very different lists. Also, how do we count aliens as monsters and have no mention of symbiotes? I would probably go with this (in no particular order): Bloodscream Blackheart Carnage The Brood The Trench Mangog Doomsday The Violator The Darkness Ragnars

[@GlockMonster29]

Man Doomsday is scary asf. Don't know how he didn't make the list.

[@charlesgorman5188]

Please Arris, do a history of Solomon Grundy. He's an awesome character.

[@hezzi3283]

he was born on a Monday. . . . you get the picture.

[@JKLauderdale]

@@hezzi3283 Was he? A 100yr old poem isn't exactly known for historical accuracy, just look at The Animals' song "House of the Rising Sun" which has been (questionably dated back to the 1600s (AKA:17th cent). The earliest RECORDED version of it is from the early 1900s and it was quite obviously around prior to that recording, looooong before what we know/hear today. Just because you hear/read an old poem/book doesn't make it historically accurate. "Ring Around the Rosie" is a classic example of questionable authenticity.

[@hezzi3283]

@@JKLauderdale you don't laugh a whole lot ain't it brother

[@gggallin8279]

@@JKLauderdale I don’t think DC is concerned with historical accuracy of a fictional poem talking about a Zombie

[@JKLauderdale]

You don't write coherent sentences much "ain't it brother"

[@archangel5627]

Now that Marvel has introduced Werewolf By Night and Man-Thing, they really should do a Monsterverse style ensemble movie. Marvel not only has all the classic monsters in the Marvel Universe like Dracula, the Mummy, and even a Zombie who happens to be a hero, but they also have a ton of other style monsters they could pull from as well.

[@themoosehoof]

They’re definitely building to midnight sons

[@gotem7694]

Seeing you guys posted a top 10 for some reason makes me so happy

[@unxprienced9548]

I'm glad we got some Etrigan love,,, he's always had a special place in my heart

[@Swampthing86]

Swamp Thing is my favorite comic book monster. He first appeared in House Of Secrets #91 July 1971 by Len Wein & Bernie Wrightson. His nicknames are Swampy, Protector Of The Green, & my favorite nickname is The Green King.

[@emersoninfinitystone5785]

The fact Killer Croc of all characters made the list is hilarious. My list would be: 10) The Trench 9) Man Thing 8) Karaqan 7) Giganto the Atlantean Beast 6) Swamp Thing 5) Starro the Conqueror 4) Violator 3) Godzilla 2) Shuma Gorath 1) Doomsday

[@hellfish3855]

I was surprised that doomsday didn't even make the list

[@ComicBookGuy420]

Seriously You'd put the squid over croc?

[@blakebuxton570]

Man-Thing was the first monster I came across in the '70's reading comics. Fascinated from the get-go. He's finally being used to his potential. "Whoever knows fear, burns at the touch of the Man-Thing!"

[@ComicBookGuy420]

Or, as Disney calls him Ted

I thought swamp thing came out in DC horror comics in the late 60's, man thing seems like someone just wanted to out do swamp thing lol

[@cameronbrown3700]

I’m surprised that The Lizard didn’t make the list.

[@novadrake6454]

Love all your content king!

[@oyahytt6765]

Absolutely loved this video! I did request this two years ago, but I was beginning to think that it was never going to happen. Now that it's come to fruition, I say this is a Halloween wish come true (though I was pretty sure Doomsday was going to be on the list; and maybe a few honorable mentions). Thank you very much, Arris, and Happy Halloween/Villains Month.

[@novadrake6454]

Tried to watch this a minute ago glad you got it up

[@bluekirby64]

I think the Lizard should have at least been an honorable mention also I still would like a scariest Superhero comics list

[@Swampthing86]

My top 10 favorite monsters in comic books 1. Swamp Thing 2. Etrigan The Demon 3. Hulk 4. Hellboy 5. Morbius The Living Vampire 6. Solomon Grundy 7. Man-Thing 8. The Crypt Keeper 9. Werewolf By Night 10. Doomsday

[@Waywardpine]

I would’ve put Green Goblin in a honorary choice, that dude scared the bejesus outta me when I was kid from watching The Raimi Spider-Man and the old animated cartoon, the laugh is so chilling.

[@ericnancy4385]

I know it's not part of the list, but another monster I love is the werewolf in Van Helsing played by Hugh Jackman. He's fought count Dracula on more than one occasions and similar to blade, he's a vampire hunter. He's one of my favorite. 👍

[@ComicBookGuy420]

I also enjoyed the Van Helsing version of Hyde

[@Nick_Nicolleti]

Your so right about the cryptkeeper. He was creepy

[@Bear-lv3ut]

Lets admit it, we are all just waiting for a midnight sons movie.

[@BlackstarSI]

No doubt, I would be hyped for that!

[@destinedforgreatness3030]

Nah I would be if it was a regular triple a super hero game

[@randomred16]

Common misconception: Man-Thing WAS a ripoff of Swamp Thing, he just got published first. Marvel got wind of a new title from DC about a swamp creature and cranked out a version of their own. That’s why the art for the first issue is so rough and Swamp Thing is so polished.

[@vandalsavage6743]

1:43 Is that Kratos Martian ManHunter?

[@srinjanbhattacharya3293]

Haha 😂. That's Drax but good one

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of the villains of the Stargirl TV show like Mr_Bones, Dragon king, Brainwave and Icicle? When are you going to do history of the Flash Villains Mirror Master and Top since the second half of season 6 of the Flash has finished? Can you do history of the Atom, Major_Force, Captain Atom, Plastique, the Blackhawks, Rocket Red Brigade, Blue_Beetle, Mr Terrific and Plastic Man along with the history of the Villains Dr Alchemy and Abracadabra?

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

I raised my kids watching Tales From the Crypt and in a few years I'll be raising my grandkids lol hopefully we can make it to a 4th generation of Cruz's watching them together

[@themoosehoof]

Good luck with the grandkids, hope all goes well!

[@jorgecarbajal8076]

This was a cool list of monsters in comics, and included some great horror-themed characters. 9:15 Speaking of Hellboy, I feel like he could’ve been included as an honorable mention.

[@andrewgarrett1356]

He definitely should have been, but I personally agree with the claim that Etrigan is better. I would have definitely preferred him in Injustice 2 over Hellboy. Maybe if they ever get around to making Injustice 3, we'll finally get him.

[@ComicBookGuy420]

BPRD🤟

[@jaredgarcia8638]

Whenever I think Killer Croc, I think of Arkham Asylum. That level was intense

[@ComicBookGuy420]

Him punching up the grates beneath you, I died twice😂

[@jaredgarcia8638]

@@ComicBookGuy420 good times

[@samsonjack362]

I know Hulk is a superhero but man he can be pretty scary at times, he should be on this list imo.

[@TheIronWarlockXIII]

Speaking of Hulk, Abomination should've been included in the list as well, and also Red Hulk

[@saucy-wi6ft]

Bro they left out doomsday

[@jesselynch1928]

What an excellent list. I would have liked to see Dracula Frankensteins Monster and Werewolf by night and Godzilla but your list was excellent. My favorite Killer Croc moment is when Batman showed up in his hideout and Croc got really really mad that Bats dared invade his home.

[@clarkkent6927]

I always love that villain laugh

[@gamingrex9444]

Man.. i was so bummed out when hbo cancelled The Swamp Thing series. I loved that show so damn much.

[@assassingio9847]

Swamp Thing is my favourite but Etrigan The Demon,The Killer Croc and Solomon Grundy have picked my interest too

[@victorzambrano4136]

Haha I think most people are familiar of Man-Bat because of Batman Arkham Knight. And yes On Leather Wings is a pretty cool episode too.

[@danielgengler4342]

I'd have put Doomsday on the list. From his origins to his powers, he just fits. Not to mention he beat Superman to death with his bare hands.

[@larquefausse3623]

Unfortunately, he's one of those characters that are only known for doing that one thing. In the case of Doomsday, he's famous for killing Superman and technically didn't succeed in that. Ever since then he's become something of a jobber doomed to getting his buttkicked by somebody else.

[@haroldalan7080]

Killer croc is one of the oldest Dc villains like Black adam he can swim like a regular Crocodile and tough armor that is resistance to gunfire🐊🐊.

[@rydescho]

Etrigan is one of the best monster designs of all time. One of my favorite characters in DC.

[@caseypiper857]

Croc from attack on arkyum is awesome too. Entrigan is awesome

[@landocalrisian2014]

Etrigan is mad cool!!!!

[@MelodyTCG]

Nice to see more etrigan praise

[@ericnancy4385]

My favorite monster on that list is Morbius the living vampire. In addition, I watched the live movie and I loved it. I thought it was good 👍.

[@Dopecheetah]

Man Thing is adorable yo! But also kind of terrorfying!

[@gamerbeast1202]

Godzilla: am I a joke to you?

[@Brianna-eo8nu]

Even though his image as a monster has been softened somewhat due to the popularity of the MCU and its marketable baby version of him, Groot will always be a favourite comic book monster of mine. Weather it’s the classic alien invader of his 1960s comic debut, or his more modern gentle giant version in the guardians of the Galaxy comics and other media.

[@thestank3]

Man I would love a live action Etrigan horror movie

[@liltaytjakid26]

Etrigan is my favorite.

[@rolyngeorges7315]

Man-Bat is amazing!!!

[@Caleb-jn7bc]

Ah man. Killer croc in the Arkham games was soooooo sick

[@omoefeasiemo3601]

I loved man thing in werewolf by night

[@6kang971]

Immortal hulk should be at least top 3 material

[@Starkilleraver]

Love your vids.

[@GammaRayTrae]

What no Godzilla? I know this is a comic this but still Godzilla has performed feats in his comics that he deserves to be on the list easily #1

[@1eyeddevil929]

I'd personally throw in Zetton! His Alien cry is just so out of this world, it's unnatural

[@Jeffreyderksen911]

Great video guys 👍😁

[@dylanogg347]

If Manga counts, I'd say Devilman is at least worth an honorable mention,

[@AuntPetuniasEverLovingNephew86]

The Hulk is my favorite comic monster! First appearance The Incredible Hulk #1 1962 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby! 60 years of the Hulk! 1062-2022! O'Greenskin, Old Jade Jaws, The Green Skin Engine of Mass Destruction, and my favorite nickname The Green Goliath!

[@BillyWashburn-u8b]

The inspiration for Solomon Grundy, Man-Thing, Swamp Thing, the Heap and others is the short story It by Ted Sturgeon. By the way, I think the Hulk should have been #1.

[@NormalNeu001]

I'm a little disappointed to not see Doomsday on this list.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of Alfred Pennyworth, Batwing, Flame Bird, Batwoman, Azrael, Signal(Duke Thomas), Bluebird, Stephanie Brown and Carrie Kelly?

[@grayrook8637]

Much as I love this whos whos of comic book monsters..... the imaginary creatures from Something is Killing the Children are absolutely terrifying more than most of the things on this list and deserve and honorable mention here. Just a disturbing comic. Also missing characters from Hack/Slash. Basically there are more monsters than DC and Marvel.

[@xblaed8844]

Did you guys totally forget about Violator or is this only for Marvel in DCCause literally he is the most creepiest drawing character character I have ever seen in my life

[@larquefausse3623]

This is mainly a Marvel/DC channel.

[@barkey6967]

Arris never talked about The Batman why it's my best ....

[@martinfiala2712]

ITS MORBIN TIME 🦇

[@michaelbrent1536]

Pennywise,Brightburn,Chucky,Jinmen(Devilman),Devilman(Akira Fudo),Hellboy,Spawn,Savage Dragon,Alien and Predators are monsters!

[@Jordan-dz5jf]

I learned about man bat from the arkham origins game. Man I miss that year of that games release.

[@dustybragg4011]

Great list, I would also like to have seen, The Batman devastator.

[@0neCrazyCracker]

I would add The Violator from Spawn.

[@vandalsavage6743]

I can't believe you ignored the Lizard from Spider-Man. That guy has a face that always freaked me out

[@JKLauderdale]

What side of the table are you viewing this from? Monster: an imaginary creature that is typically large, ugly, and frightening. Batman designed both his outfit and moniker to fill that role. Now take Earth 3's Owlman and ask yourself... who's that #1 monster?

[@quentinfogger5755]

When are you going to do history of Marvel's Sandman and Kurt Conners the Lizard since they made a live action comeback in Spider-Man No Way Home along with the Elementals who were mentioned in Spider-Man Far From Home?

[@kingalfa1878]

Great vid idea, origin or everything about (the green,red,grey ect.)

[@andrewgarrett1356]

I'm glad Killer Croc got some love on this list. It honestly feels like he gets overshadowed by the rest of Batman's rogues too much. As for which version of him I think is best, I prefer the Arkham Origins version of him, at least in terms of looks, and the crime boss version of him from The Batman cartoon.

[@blaqjoker9105]

ANTON ARCANE the most scariest monster in all comics

[@John_Q]

Violator should've been #1, would've switched out cheesy looking Morbius for Clayface (the fact that he can shape-shift makes him extra creepy). Other than that, solid list.

[@mechmaster315]

5:53 wrong series

[@wadeaiken1948]

Abomination? Carnage? Venom? Ghost Rider? Doomsday? Wendigo? Shaggy Man? The Heap? Dragon Man?

[@solus-dragon9729]

2:10 yup as a kid give me bad dreams

I know I’m late but I’d say Knull from Marvel is pretty terrifying. He was inches away from causing a symbiotic apocalypse. 👀

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?

[@lizardmilk]

I would have gone with some Spawn monsters. Violator, Malnogia, The Heap.

[@landocalrisian2014]

I haven't seen much of Batman the animated series but I'd beg to differ with calling that grey-complected Killer Croc perfection. I'll have to go check out the series but from this clip, you showed naaaah!! lol.

[@urboislim2757]

The broods is terrifying

[@anthonyarchilla7208]

Vampirella And Godzilla would be top on my list
