10 Times Comic Book Villains Became Heroes (In A Big Way)

[@primefamous]

I love that Batman legit tries to help reform his villains. A lot of people forget this about him sometimes.

[@pigglesgoomshby7249]

I mean when you got so many nemeses it wouldn’t hurt to get a few on your side and on the side of good for once

[@HeavyPootisMan]

It's 2021 and we are still talking about Doomsday clock and why it sucks

[@JacobGunner]

Definitely should have had Dr. Doom on here. His brief stint as the Infamous Iron Man was simply amazing.

[@fudoayakashi7051]

And better than that iron heart

[@derangedcomics]

Agreed. I was waiting for it too.

[@derangedcomics]

Also, it made me sad that the door hadn't even closed behind Bendis before they had Slott ruin everything.

[@majinsole8554]

Good mention. ~_~

[@iamnotawfulanymore3873]

I hate Marvel #BoycottTheMCU

[@Prime4494]

I loved what they did with Clayface, and I think it is really a shame that they've stopped this concept, because I thought he really brought something amazing, especially with his relationship with Cass. But I'm getting used to the way comics work nowadays, cant use a good thing for too long, we HAVE to ruin it before next year...

#RetconDoomsdayClock

[@deadpoolrockz6410]

I always like it when a villain turns their life around and becomes somewhat of a better person, but always hate it when a hero turns into a villain or gets treated as the bad guy.

[@briandaleske5139]

I can imagine the possibility that there might be seven different dimensional realms that have reformed villains, and have become genuine people who are genuinely ashamed of all the wrong they have done when they were villains.

[@stevescollectibles3460]

Most cliche is when there is a threat bigger than both of them. But most time after the event it goes back to business as usual

[@stevencisneros9306]

Sometimes the old sayin’ goes is that “once a villain, ALWAYS a villain” which is the case for the likes of Riddler and Sandman

[@niteowlii7435]

Doomsday clock still sucks

[@MaoMao-pi8if]

I hate Doomsday clock so much

[@troperhghar9898]

These are the stories I point to when someone says "why dont the hero's just kill the villains" it's because they can change and grow its just that the story needs to reboot to keep them villains

[@diannerenard]

Actually, quite a lot deserve to be killed. One thing is to redeem villains who were misguided, had noble goals behind their terrible actions or that never really endangered innocents. Maybe also include those who cannot control their actions or powers, such as forces of nature or have dangerous passive powers. Other entirely different one is to do it with psychopaths or complete monsters that after a career forged over the corpses of heroes and innocents alike, randomly decide to not be as bad.

[@iamnotawfulanymore3873]

95 people hate Doomsday clock and want it retconned. So let's get up to 150 people on the petition and then we move up

[@spacemanspiff3052]

I liked best The Riddler going legit and investigating crimes as a detective. I also like villains who occasionally dip their toe into doing heroic things and coming in clutch during a major hit the fan crisis both big and small . . . I’m thinking Dr. Doom. MCU’s Baron Zemo is a do gooding toe dipper too.

[@TheZipperDragon]

I always liked The Batman's Clayface arc, a cop who was turned into a monster by the joker, later on gaining control until the joker resurfaces, as does his rage.

[@chechibatta5673]

Deadpool, Magneto, Riddler and Harley Quinn are just some of the villains who became heroes

[@sussyangel7492]

Prime Earth Edward Nygma?

[@jatarokemuri5443]

Technically Harley became an anti hero in task force X

[@WarrickRanger]

I feel like Lex Luthor is DC’s equivalent to Magneto - everything he does is to ensure a future for non-meta humans in an ever evolving world. The few stories where those motivations align with the Justice League are great. But then he always come back to super villainy in the end.

[@robbiedegrenier]

Rogue, Mystique, Scarlett Witch, Quicksilver, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Wonderman, Vision...

[@cheritripp9470]

Magneto was also temporary teacher of the New Mutants while Charles was out in space.

[@DoughBoyVTwo]

Loved both the (painfully) short runs of Infamous Ironman and the recent Superior Spider-Man. I thought both were cool in how the given them fairly good reasons to seek a new path. Hate how both just abruptly end with no (good) reason.

[@OmegaShenronDragon]

Loved that house of X & Powers of X ending where Erik says "look what we've made" . When they unite they're such a force

[@stevegallo8483]

What about Doctor Octopus? I can't be the only one who remembers his time as the Superior Spiderman.

[@jalzahn4404]

Sandman hurts the most for me. He should have remained a hero.

[@DoctorHaxman]

Glad to see Songbird getting some love

[@niteowlii7435]

[@LATVERIAN1]

How could you leave out "Triumph & Torment", where Doctor Doom frees his mother's tormented soul from hell?? One of the greatest graphic novels/ Doom stories of all-time.

[@Elementroar]

I feel the current incarnation of Loki should get a special mention. The whole ordeal of how his reincarnated self is truly striving to be different and has become better than his original 616-evil-Loki self is pretty much chaotic good/neutral (but mostly good), is a big deal. He may not always makes the best decisions, but his intentions are way better than the absolute asshole he was back in the Silver and Bronze Age.

[@marvelsProtege]

[@bobbywoodart5269]

The biggest thing with me is that Deadpool became an Avenger for a short time, but who isn't an Avenger now a days. I really liked Sandman was a hero, he has so much potential and an interesting backstory that can be flushed out a lot.

[@whitetigerthunderzordpower9156]

They forgot about Doctor Doom by being a replacement for Iron Man during Tony’s coma Lex Luthor during the New 52 and Doctor Octopus during his time as the Superior Spider-Man

[@edwardblakethecomedian5376]

Dr. Doom has saved humanity a dozen times over. More over he improved the lives of all people. Third when he becomes the superior Iron man, he puts everyone else to shame with how great he is at being the champion of the human race. But that's just my 2 cents
