10 Times Supervillains Killed Other Villains

[@AgentAshe]

Best villain on villain violence was in Marvel's Acts of Vengeance where all the villains swapped heroes to see if new tactics would take them down. Magneto was part of the meeting but immediately after everyone went their separate ways he revealed that he had only shown up to take out Red Skull whom he beats the hell out of and buries alive. Its almost like a Holocaust survivor wouldn't be willing to kill Captain America for a Nazi.

[@matthewschwartz6607]

Yes, THAT was epic and awesome! I also really liked Magneto and Geist’s interaction (Which happened in the Archie Goodwin run on Wolverine. HIGHLY recommended (And underrated, too boot.)!

[@funnyblog100]

No one actually wants to work with Red Skull. Most villains he teams up with try to kill him at some point. Even the Joker tried to kill him in a marvel/dc crossover issue. Yes the fucking Joker has standards! To the point that very few villains are willing to associate with Red Skull. One of the only exceptions to this is Norman Osborn.

[@drewneedsmoresleep6680]

I read that line, it was awesome.

[@equarg]

🤔......😅 Yea. If I saw that go down, I would just give Magneto a Thumbs up 👍 and pretend I did not see anything. Get some sanitizer and dry soap so he could and towels so he could clean up afterwards.

[@derrickhaggard]

@@funnyblog100 I remember that Marvel/DC crossover when Joker turned on Johann he told him "Yes I am a sadistic psychopath but I'm a patriotic sadistic psychopath and I refuse to associate with a damn Nazi."

[@mitchhaelann9215]

I still like when Kang the Conqueror's teenaged self murdered his adult self because he didn't want to grow up to be a villain.

[@mrsocko316]

Nothing will ever beat the brutality of Magneto killing Red Skull for stealing Xavier's powers. And he does it with no powers, a "pure death" as he tells Skull.

In the original Secret Wars, Galactus kills Ultron by sucking his life energy out of him. Later, Dr. Doom reactivates Ultron as his personal enforcer and orders him to kill Kang the Conqueror. Why? Because Kang tried unsuccessfully to kill Doom.

[@Casandraelf]

all because joker was offended that he was actually working with a real nazi. apparently because even a nutjob like him has standards...very, *very* loose standards

[@jimhenry5552]

Marvel had a whole thing where a character called the Scourge ("The Scourge of the Underworld") roamed through dozens of titles and killed off dozens and dozens of super-villains -- always shouting, "Justice is Served!" in the process.

[@ryanmontgomery5988]

Great arc in the Cap titles..loved Scourge

[@Glittersword]

I was heading there also, but was drawing a blank on his name. I especially enjoyed the villain bar.

[@joels5150]

I remembered that storyline throughout a number of titles like Captain America. As I recall, it was unclear if Scourge was an individual who happened to be a master of disguise, or actually a group of like-minded individuals hunting down costumed-villains. Each kill appeared to be committed by a different person.

[@chaospoet]

How in the Hell did Darkseid vs Doomsday not make the list? Darkseid blasts Doomsday with his Omega Beams at full strength at point blank range and it does NOTHING. Making Darkseid afraid and in awe of someone for the first time ever.

[@nourshokr3291]

You guys forgot Green Goblin killed Otto Octavius.

[@kingyoong5654]

You could also talk about Catwoman killing Joker in the DC's Batman/Catwoman series - Polygon.

[@joels5150]

One of my first comic villain on villain kills was from Iron Man #220. The Ghost was hired by Roxxon to sabotage a company Tony Stark had just invested all his savings into. After the first encounter with Iron Man, The Ghost put Tony Stark on his hit list. When Roxxon tried to call him off because of the attention killing Stark would attract, The Ghost refused. Roxxon then called in Spymaster to take out The Ghost. Tony got caught in the middle, without his armor. Tony kept Spymaster from shooting Ghost and he tried to escape. Stark was able to get his armor in the meantime, while Spymaster chased after Ghost. When Iron Man showed up, an explosion during the fight damaged Spymaster’s armor, so he decided to retreat. The Ghost showed up and clipped one of his intangibility-generators onto Spymaster, so he could phase through a nearby wall. Spymaster was surprised and asked why Ghost was helping him, to which Ghost replied that he was actually killing him, as he removed the device while Spymaster was still partially in the wall. 😵

In JLU the Animated Series, Team Luthor beats Team Grodd in a fight over control of the Hall of Doom. After Luthor ejects Grodd into space, he asks Grodd's followers why he should spare any of them. Living up to her name, Killer Frost steps forward and without a word, ices ALL of her teammates.

He uses some of Hela recourses and gets in past, actualy talk his younger self, still little giant, how to get himself being taken by Odin and become his adoptive son. As he does this, Loki grabs his father sword, and as Laufey lay beated, previously by Odin, Loki uses the sword like therapy session and release all his anger on his abusive father. Noting that was realy amazing and if people in modern time could do this, they would save milions on therapies.
