Very!!!

[@JohnDBIRL]

“I believe whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you…stranger” oh my god every time I see that. Incredible. Perfection

[@НикитаСергеевич-м2ц]

Don't forget "whrummmmm" Zimmer sound at this moment

[@MatthewMullen-ws8fw]

Ok

[@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

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

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

Darth Vader number one all time.

[@olleselin]

Who could forget Joker's memorable unmasking in the opening scene of TDK?

[@Mr.Memphis10]

@@olleselin That scene was epic!

[@c.manorboy]

My fav villain

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@ItzzGoop]

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

[@bartdarrow9217]

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

[@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

[@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?

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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 😂

[@user-em6ie2be7x]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@2822MJ]

Christopher Nolan sure knows how to introduce supervillains.

[@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 ❤

[@agentorange1156]

The shredder had me hooked to the screen

[@williamsummerson1204]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

Joker from The Dark Knight; That was perfection. 🎉

[@Potrimpo]

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

[@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

[@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. 😳🥵🥶

[@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

[@YooperHatesOhioState]

Shredders entrance gives me chills

[@sacredcoww]

Shredder is the best one on here.

[@jkbawlson391]

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

[@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 😻

[@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

[@Mr.Memphis10]

I still get goosebumps seeing Master Shredder introduction!

[@davidchism6081]

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

[@davidpoore3718]

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

[@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.

[@lonewander6772]

Sivana board room scene should be here. Tossing the brother out the window, having the entire board room members slaughtered, then unleashing Greed on his father.

[@sunnygirl523]

love all these supervillain entrances ❤

[@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

[@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

[@Animeguy300]

Starro from the Suicide Squad is awesome

[@Tucker_Varnes]

Shredder really thought he was earth Vader with that “I am your father” 😂

[@Tucker_Varnes]

Darth, damn autocorrect

[@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

[@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 😅

[@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?

[@Pako_equis]

@@JohnnyOneil You are so wrong 😂

[@JohnnyOneil]

[@rjgonzalez9220]

I like the introduction line on behold, galvatron. The moment he was given his minions and ship, the first thing he do was to kill starcream that all the years megatron cant.

[@crystalshaw8744]

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

[@AlejandroCamilo-k9g]

For me, these villain introductions are simply iconic and stand out for how they set the tone for the character from the very beginning: Bane (Tom Hardy): His introduction on the plane in The Dark Knight Rises is epic. From the first line, “Was it part of your plan to let yourself be captured?”, to his terrifying calm as he unleashes chaos, it establishes that he’s a villain with a plan. Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors): His entrance as He Who Remains in Loki is impressive. He appears with a relaxed yet enigmatic demeanor, and as he speaks, he reveals a threat far greater than we imagined. Ultron (James Spader): The scene where he first appears, using a destroyed body to take on the Avengers, and his speech about “ropes” is terrifying and shocking. Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan): His introduction at the museum, as he examines stolen African art, is powerful. He shows off his intellect and resentment, making you understand his perspective from the start. Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe): In Spider-Man, when Norman Osborn first transforms and his alter ego takes over, it’s chilling. In No Way Home, his return is just as shocking, especially with his line, “It’s not me, it’s someone else.” Loki (Tom Hiddleston): His introduction in Thor, where his intelligence and resentment toward Thor and Odin are on display, sets the stage for the God of Mischief. Thanos (Josh Brolin): His first scene in Infinity War, where he defeats Hulk with ease, establishes him as the most powerful and strategic villain in the MCU. Joker (Heath Ledger): His introduction in the bank robbery in The Dark Knight is unforgettable. From his mask to his final reveal, it’s chaos at its finest. Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina): His accident in Spider-Man 2 is tragic and terrifying. The scene in the operating room, when his arms take control, shows that he will not be just any villain. Magneto (Michael Fassbender): His introduction in X-Men: First Class, showing his suffering in the Holocaust and how his powers awaken, makes him a villain with a deeply human story.

[@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'.

[@cloutcloud2200]

No wonder Batman is so well liked; he’s got the best villains money can buy lmao.

[@Pako_equis]

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

Oh my gosh 😂 My sister and I just watched Wonder Woman. Perfect timing

[@egyptwns89_26]

Shredder had the best intro out of all on this list.

[@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.

[@StefansAizupietis-gb7xs]

Thanos intro was the most badass in the entire world!

[@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.

[@janmattamrakar1895]

Bane and The Joker definately shud be top 3, just starting the video

[@antonythomas7574]

Kudos to the joker intro and the bus driver who just keeps driving after seeing a school bus come out of a bank. No questions in the story 😂

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

Jack Nicholson's Joker demanding to see the mirror from the surgeon and breaking it followed by his insane cackling us pretty iconic.

[@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

[@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.

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.

[@giovannibabb4595]

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

[@dot3889]

He wasn’t really a “ supervillain “ but the introduction of The Witch King of Angmar in LOTR: Return of the King , is still one of the coldest I’ve seen

[@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!

Missing Ras Al Ghul on this list. Batman Begins stays getting shown no love, criminally underrated. Wouldnt have Dark Knight or Dark Knight Rises without it. Smh

[@StuntmanDanHemi]

Nomak's introduction in Blade 2 has been THE most "oh they are so fucked" moment in both comic book and non comic book movies I've ever seen, specially because they don't tell exactly what he is

[@seancrowley3142]

Lots of good ones on here…Shredder, Joker, Ultron, Darth Sidious (ROTJ) are all at the top of my list!

[@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.

[@apdadonb.f.m.priorities.8116]

I must admit this list is 💯💯

[@dameondanford3643]

That Ultron intro deserved a much better movie. It felt like a possession.

[@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

[@ajpvcreations]

Sentinels from Days of Future Past should be in this list

[@tjlegend233]

Skeletors entrance at the very start of “masters of the universe” 1987 film was one of the best villain intros ever.

[@itzemoney6033]

It doesn’t matter who we are? What matters is our plan! -Bane

[@AlexLovejoy-n5d]

I feel like Darkseid was bumped down a few levels without a ceremonious introduction. He was a war mongering god who killed Atlantians, Athens, and Middle Earthlings without rest or retreat. He just sat there and slayed like the atypical warrior he was. He was probably a good match for Ares if he wanted to be.

[@edwinsaez82]

How is Darth Vader not on this list?! Personally, I think his intro in Rogue One is as good as The Joker in TDK!

[@v.dickson]

Bane, Joker (TDK) and Lockdown (Transformers) are one of the top intros for villains.

[@dariusjones6413]
