[@Mr.Memphis10]

@@olleselin That scene was epic!

[@c.manorboy]

My fav villain

[@AronSilberwasser]

Vader in star wars. A black figure, imposing and mysterious. He then immediately strangles a guy. THAT is the best.

[@Omar-wq9dz]

Where are those transmissions you intercepted? What have you done with those plans?

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

He is and probably always will be my favorite fictional villain of all time. He’s got everything all other good villains have times ten. Awesome outfit, scary voice, terrifying and powerful presence, incredible superpowers and an awesome theme song. Plus his sad backstory and a cool surprise twist in his storyline. Truly an awesome villain

[@zanethind]

And his origin story is much sad to some others

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

@@Omar-wq9dzWe intercepted no transmissions. This is a consular ship. We’re on a diplomatic mission.

[@thefandomguyproductions568]

​​@@Jeremiah_Rivers76 if this is a consular ship, then where's the ambassador?

[@Wing-Zero-si1eu]

Megatron in Transformers. His introduction was when he first got unfrozen by his Decepticons. Which was indeed terrifying. Same with Lockdown when he kills Ratchet. And Scourge at the opening scene for Rise of the Beasts.

[@YehielCertner]

Galvatron's first appearance in Star scream coronation is even better! "megatron! is that you?? " " Here's a hint!!"

[@superomegaprimemk2]

​@YehielCertner Yeah, but Unicron also had a good intro, appearing from in between two suns and proceeding towards an unexpecting planet and then proceeding to feast upon the planet and it's people before lighting up the ring and carrying on like nothing had happened, in just one scene you get the sense that the threat is MUCH bigger than the Autobots vs Decepticons and how would they deal with it lingers in your mind as we go into the intro!!

[@TheFilamind]

That's a CG character other than Sandman who is still a real person are CG.

[@johnhurter6773]

Don’t forget the Sentinel Prime reveal.

[@TheMarkOfOdin]

It's criminal that Vader is not on here. Two face from Batman forever would have been good too. When the anticipation of him turning to see his face and show the other side was creepy at first and with the laugh was good with the reveal too. The Terminator. T-800 and the T-1000 were awesome villain intros. The way they had the scene with Arnold punch threw the body and lift the body in the air and then drop it with his arm covered in blood and doing it with one arm, that was badass. Sad that these are not on that list.

[@AJ-xc4qe]

Do Star Wars or Terminator even count as superhero fiction?

[@abdullahmahtab7375]

​@@AJ-xc4qeThe Video was titled over supervillains. Not superhero fiction only.

[@rcmanization]

@@abdullahmahtab7375 well said.

[@Richtofen-gy9cj]

If Vader should be here, so Megatron/Galvatron should be as well

[@KingOfTheOdds]

The introduction of Death in Puss in Boots The Last Wish is quite incredible and spine-chilling.

[@herrypottier4201]

For a kids movie it was surprisingly dark in a good way!! Showing us how to overcome our fear of inevitable death

[@dreamguardian8320]

Why wasn't he on this list too?

[@second2nonebut1]

I agree, him and shredder

[@zanethind]

Man that introduction for the Shredder was one hell of a villain introduction. Also the actor who played him did one super job

[@hectorcollazo8845]

Shell of a performance indeed. His Shredder is just perfect. 2003 animated Shredder matches that intimidating presence.

[@daviddemeuse5660]

Yes! And the music they gave him is perfect! Wish they kept the deleted scene where he fights the foot members that failed to capture April while sitting Indian style! Badass!

[@jamesflowers5744]

That Shredder intro definitely should've been higher up on the list.

[@zanethind]

@@jamesflowers5744 yeah as a kid damn that was my favourite one

[@zanethind]

@@daviddemeuse5660 damn

[@sneakypeek926]

Even though Heath Ledger’s Joker introduction was legendary, we can’t forget Jack Nicholson’s legendary introduction as the Joker, his laugh when he sees his face and his dialogue with Grissom are really great. “Mirror. MIRROR.” “It’s me, sugar bumps.” “You set me up over a woman, A WOMAN, you must be insane.” “Jack? Jack is dead my friend, you can call me Joker, and as you can see, I’m a lot happier.” “Oh what a day.” “Wait’ll they get a load of me.” “Hahahahahahahahahaha”

[@James-ev6dk]

I was hoping for this comment 🫡 *_Fantastic_* performance and villain reveal 💯👌!!

[@LenaKeega]

I was very young when I saw that. And I think that’s why I don’t want to watch it, like ever again. 😂

[@joekearon1336]

I agree, Nicholson's intro was a classic.

[@dinomonzon7493]

Agree 💯%. I always preferred Jack Nicholson's film version of the Joker.

[@richardhoehn9922]

Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight?

[@CainNuke]

All these years and Shredders intro is still the best. I actually felt like rewatching it a few hours before this video was even posted. Good job reading my mind.

[@Kakkorotto27]

Watched the original TMNT movie when I was 9 years old. The entrance of The Shredder was just amazing. Had goosebumps. The fear, power, respect in that scene. 😳🥵🥶

[@bartdarrow9217]

I've seen TMNT many times & The Shedder's intro. still gives me chills

[@TheMetalMAN1987]

Still to this day no mater how many times I watch the masterpiece that is The Dark knight. It sends chills down my spine at that man’s absolutely stellar performance. That bank robbery scene and his performance throughout the whole movie is insanity. RIP Mr. Ledger.

[@williamsummerson1204]

Heath Ledger's version of the Joker is the greatest comic book villian ever put to screen. 🙏

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Thanos intro was amazing 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@BlackHatCinephile]

🏆🥇

[@markelabanks4808]

When he bodied The Hulk like that.. we knew he did NOT come to play

[@HoodyBoy85]

I know! He’s way too low on the list

[@ItzzGoop]

That dark knight opening scene is one of the best and most clever reveling scenes in a hero film

[@user-em6ie2be7x]

Sandman is definitely the most sympathetic Villain on this list, especially after learning what happened between him & Uncle Ben.

[@sambinox8725]

Shredder from TMNT '90 will always be my #1. The entrance, the cape, about 100 ppl in the room and they're all silent. Music plays, and then that voice

[@2822MJ]

Christopher Nolan sure knows how to introduce supervillains.

[@dannybonett8349]

I’m glad Shredder is on this list but he should have been higher. He is truly a force to be reckoned with with a presence that immediately demands your attention and your fear.

[@user-em6ie2be7x]

Shao Kahn - Mortal Kombat when his Giant form showed up at the end & said "You weak pathetic fools, I've come for your souls" that was badass.

[@rileywhalen6554]

God of War 3 Poseidon was crazy.

[@dakkuri1]

I remember when I saw the Shredder in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles enter his lair I thought I was both scary and badass at the same time. The music made it even way better

[@steveshopworxmachine5716]

Shredder was the best! I was 10 in a theatre to see Back to the Future 2 and TMNT was one of the trailers and Shredder's entrance scene was the beginning of the preview and my cousin and I lost our shit and started flailing around in our seats. No Internet then so previews were a huge deal and we won the kid lottery with that entrance.

[@dewlo4246]

Shredder dropping from outta nowhere is the best. Still my All time favorite entrance

[@tylergoodman3560]

Joker from The Dark Knight; That was perfection. 🎉

[@asianboss1355]

Crazy how Tai Lung from Kung fu Panda didn’t make the list

[@bsmartr806]

Could have easily replaced Sandman with him.

[@hesjoeking]

@@bsmartr806 or spot

[@MasterJoeda_]

Yeah this is so true. He had an awesome intro in that breaking out of prison scene.

[@chaystonhandley-mb7wc]

Yep that’s something that I think of as a kind of weak “jump” in the movie industry but it’s also a very interesting point since he just appears out of nowhere 😂

[@shermanweedon1612]

"I bet the Joker wanted you to kill me after we loaded the cash?" "No, I kill the bus driver." "Bus driver? What bus driver?" Masterpiece!

[@waheedabdullah6371]

If it had an honorable mention, I would've included: Dr. Robotnik from 2020 Sonic the Hedgehog Black Manta from Aquaman The Riddler from The Batman

[@nwo2cool]

Also Carnage from Venom: Let There Be Carnage

[@Pako_equis]

Catwoman from Batman Returns is iconic too. The pan zooms in her apartment room while she poses 😻

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

I know I praise Heath Ledger’s Joker in videos mentioning him, but he deserves the top spot. Nobody could’ve calculated how the robbery could’ve gone.

[@dionstergiopoulos2797]

Voldemort’s intro in the Goblet of Fire: always gives me chills every time I rewatch the film. From Wormtale conducting the ritual to have Voldemort re-born, the harrowing score and knowing that from that point on the second wizarding war had begun

[@Vultoor]

Shredder, Ultron, Bane & Joker my personal favourites

[@markelabanks4808]

Add Thanos and you got my Top 5 ❤

[@perdawirasiregar1925]

bane is the winner for me. his calm to destroy the plane was so cold

[@HoodyBoy85]

The look he gives when he says “crashing this plane” …yikes.

[@HedgeHogTail_]

The Dark Knight is my favorite film of all time. But Thanos's introduction was the best one. That monologue is incredible, the pacing, the cinematography, the music, the fight with the Hulk. Just sublime!

[@sacredcoww]

Shredder is the best one on here.

[@agentorange1156]

The shredder had me hooked to the screen

[@Potrimpo]

Yep, jumped straight to #1 to see of it was the Joker from The Dark Knight (2008). It was.

[@Jamal-bl7yh]

Shiwan Kahn The Shadow (1994) This Dude did not play around the polar opposite of Alec Baldwin's Lamont Cranston great villain Okay movie love It

[@zanethind]

Joke using the Payday mask from the game series is an amazing disguise but also thr work Heath Ledger did as super legendary

[@mr.decencykeepinitreal6348]

Darth Vader. Heath Ledger’s Joker version. Christopher Nolan’s Bane version. The live action ‘90s movie version of the Shredder. Norman Osborn AKA the Green Goblin (played by Willem Dafoe).

[@YooperHatesOhioState]

90 TMNT

[@jkbawlson391]

Every villain in the dark knight trilogy had a dope intro.

[@LongLiveG]

I know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right, yet to fail nonetheless. It's frightening, turns the legs to jelly. But I ask you, to what end? Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same. And now, it's here. Or should I say, I am

[@Animeguy300]

Starro from the Suicide Squad is awesome

[@andref.gordonjr4627]

Abomination- The Incredible Hulk Scarecrow- Batman Begins Carnage- Venom Let there be carnage T-1000 Terminator 2 Judgment Day Shiwan Khan- The Shadow Iron Monger- Iron Man Malebolgia- Spawn Violator- Spawn Electro- The Amazing Spider-Man Darth Maul- Star wars The phantom menace Cassandra Nova- Deadpool and wolverine

[@b3z3rk34]

Deadpool and the Wolverine was awesome but I thought Cassandra nova was super lame and kind of annoying. My only real complaint with the movie

[@firelordprometheus6345]

An underrated villain intro in my opinion is Donald Pierce in Logan. He's menacing but in a much more subtle way than a lot of the villains on this list. Costume design is cool with the gold tooth, orange sunglasses, bionic arm. Also the southern accent doesn't hurt either. A great opening line too "As I live and breathe, the Wolverine. And he's a junkie now." Wish Boyd Holbrook got more screentime in the movie.

[@davidchism6081]

16:04. That'd be Sam Raimi channeling his Evil Dead days in the scene. Chainsaw and all.

[@YooperHatesOhioState]

Shredders entrance gives me chills

[@davidpoore3718]

Can't forget Joker in Tim Burton's Batman... Honestly, Joker intros deserve a list of their own

[@Mr.Memphis10]

I still get goosebumps seeing Master Shredder introduction!

[@nostalgic8284]

For me: 1. Bane 2. Darth Vader 3. Joker 4. Ozymandias 5. Shredder 6. T-1000 6.5 Sauron 7. Agent Smith 8. Voldemort 9. Mad Dog 10. Ma-Ma I foresee the Crooked Man being on this list once the new Hellboy arrives. Honorable mention is Kevin from Sin City That’s all I got so far 😅

[@sunnygirl523]

love all these supervillain entrances ❤

[@HunterZolomonCW]

Zoom from CW is the best supervillain of all time imo. His introduction was way better than anyone in this video and he wants to destroy the multiverse, he loves darkness and has no sense of morality

[@StefansAizupietis-gb7xs]

Thanos intro was the most badass in the entire world!

[@BlackHatCinephile]

🥉

[@ConnorWiederich-hr4zu]

While not the first introductions of these villains in the movies, still epic introductions to their confrontations with the good guys: -Darth Maul confronts Obi Wan and Qui-Gon as Duel of the Fates starts playing -Vader hallway scene with the rebels in the dark

[@that.canadian.vaper.guyTCVG]

Darkseid had a badass introduction, except they showed him being injured by someone we know can lose against one of the Justice League. Even though it was a younger Darkseid it just took some credibility away from him. I was honestly excited to see a live action Darkseid, and they made him look pretty damn awesome. Just disappointed all around lol

[@jayjsoto75]

I know it was brief but I got chills when Thanos was introduced in the first Avengers movie. I remember like yesterday in the movie theatre yelling“Thanos.” I also maybe in the minority but that’s how he should’ve looked.

[@crystalshaw8744]

I've seen most of these super villains making their intro. Great list.

[@michaelrothaupt4755]

I’m biased from my childhood, but Unicrons introduction at the beginning of Transformers the Movie (1986) in his planet eating for and then at the climax in his robotic form stand out for me. It was awesome to show how much was at stake, especially for a kids movie.

[@WhiteFangofWar]

The bodacious TMNT sequel Secret of the Ooze has Shredder's new mutants Tokka and Rahzar introduce themselves by ignoring the turtles' best attacks, and tossing Donatello all the way across the junkyard to smash into a shed. Great way to show they're far more powerful despite merely being 'babies'.

I’m a bane Guy all day and TDKR but the joker INTRO was perfection !

[@timheye7863]

What the hell, no Jack Nicholson's Joker in the famous "You can call me...Joker!" scene. Also, doesn't "Darth Vader" count as a supervillain? If so, where is he on the list? Or is it just DC and Marvel?

I think its lower because its not his true introduction, he it was his 3rd time on screen. If he was introduced like that to begin with, then yeah he would've been top 3 for sure.

[@Pako_equis]

Not top 5 but its good nonetheless. Maybe cause i had an idea of his image from the last cliffhangers. It wasnt a surprise

[@nbarealtalker]

Nicholson’s Joker intro in Batman 89 was over the top, campy and creepy all at the same time. It was such an embodiment of that character.

[@goodfellabeats]

I'm a casual MCU fan at best but Thanos's introduction was one of the best I've even seen. To see how easily he took out the Hulk within the first 10 minutes of the movie hooked me for the rest of Infinity War.

[@malkilroy]

Skeletor's entrance in "Masters of the Universe" (1987) is powerful. He speedwalks to the throne chair in Castle Grayskull while slamming his Havoc Staff on the ground occasionally and listening to Evil-Lyn's report. The audience gets a good look at his face once he turns around to sit in the chair and claim that Grayskull is his. Even his transformation into the god form is strong.

[@davcharley5001]

(Wished u guys added Darth Vader,his intro was absolutely horrrifying I mean he strangled a dude during his intro) These supervillian intros were so awesome 😎 and terrifying 😨 Best ones 2 me were: 🌟Thanos 😈 🌟Spot 😈 🌟Green Goblin 😈 🌟Doc Ock 😈 🌟Joker 😈 🌟Bane 😈 🌟Starro 😈

[@that.canadian.vaper.guyTCVG]

Red Skull was such an underrated character. He never underestimated Captain America because he knew what the SS Serum did to him, so he *knew that Cap was on his level* and he never treated him like he was a lower being. Seriously, go back and watch that first Captain America movie. Red Skull probably would have welcomed Steve with open arms had Captain America decided to switch sides. I was bummed that they never brought him back to be another main villain lol

[@Tucker_Varnes]

[@jackkavanagh6337]

I have to say, I think seeing thanos in action and taking down each avenger instilled some fear into the audience in the theaters!

[@stepheneddington1667]

The new version of Zod is a villain with understandable motives. Zod was willing to discuss and compromise with those he felt he could trust. That's why he spared Jor-El. He believed Jor-El was right about Kryton dying and did what he thought as a military commander should be done to save his race. Jor-El disagreed and wanted to do things differently and still had hope that somehow he could convince Zod up until he stormed the council and tried to take over. In this case, Zod is a villain not because he was evil to begin with, but because his choices to try and stop what he saw as wrong lead him down the path to evil.

[@rjlack1975]

Mr. Glass from Unbreakable. The slow realization at the end of the movie that he was the super villain all along is a wonderful payoff to an underrated superhero movie.
