10 Comic Book Supervillains Who Created Their Own Worst Enemy

[@cjaddisin]

Does Trigon the Terrible creating his Daughter Raven count? Legit creating the one being to destroy Trigon.

[@Thomas40276]

hell yes

[@jaeusa160]

I was actually expecting Trigon and Raven to make this list, but it's fair enough there are enough examples to go beyond a 10-count.

[@thechristianteen9167]

100%

[@Outside85]

Quite frankly, there should be a separate list for comicbook villains who are 'undone' by their offspring... because that's a theme as old as western civilization.

(sarcasm) No, only Marvel and DC exist, all other comics are liberal propaganda

[@tyleroliver5077]

Hell at this point, the same people who say that also think that those companies are propaganda because *checks notes* Superman, a protector of the world, no longer focuses his catchphrase about America, and instead focuses on the protection of the world.

[@fm_0523]

I would also mention the Joker and Red Hood, since the clown murdering Jason Todd leads the resurrected ex-Robin to assume the Joker's past identity and go on murderous crusade to find him and end him.

[@RogueTwo]

Loki. Both in the mainstream comic book continuity and the MCU, the God of Mischief sets up an elaborate scheme to set the heroes, including his brother, against each other, only to instead motivate them to band together to defeat him. Effectively creating The Avengers!

[@dennisanderson3895]

As I recall OG publishing: Wasn't it the Space Phantom whose plotting drew the heroes together? Again - I'm granting my memory may be faulty by one issue and, no, I didn't Google before Commenting. The older I get, I'm getting a little fuzzier sometimes.

[@dennisanderson3895]

Wait! I just recalled that your mention was *correct*! Loki was the first "problem" - Space Phantom followed (banishing himself to the null void when he tried to impersonate Thor, which he could not b/c Thor was a god, therefore *supernatural*).

[@isorokudono]

Lokie with Thor's hammer and the INIFINTY GAUNTLET is my favorite Loki..........

0:20 That is an actual fenomenon real polise officers have to keep in mind. Cristopher Nolans, Dark knight actually brought that up in a coversation between Batman and Gordon. ”We start carreing semi-automatics, they buy automatics, we start wearing kevlar, they start buying armor piercing rounds.”

[@TheRezro]

Though to be honest militarization of police is the symptom of deeper internal issues, not the cause. At the same time it is definitely not the cure, but actually make things worst. So yeh. To some degree it is true.

[@LoponStormbased]

The reason police carry rifles now is because of the bank robbery where they wore body armor and their pistols weren't powerful enough to stop them before the mass carnage they caused... Criminals didn't suddenly start carrying M60's and driving around in armored vehicles in response... What kind of message is that? Police shouldn't have body armor and rifles cause bad guys will suddenly have better weapons and ammo? No.

[@bizzarono1]

You mentioned Wonder Man but not that he is also on the list, When Simon Williams learned that his brother the Grim Reaper was using their company's tech for evil. He confronted him. His brother threw Simon into the energy field the machines were making to kill him. Instead they turned him into ionic energy and eventually Wonder Man.

[@lazytime3126]

you watched the EMH show?

[@bizzarono1]

@@lazytime3126 No i read the comics.

[@Wolf359inc]

@@bizzarono1 pretty sure Simon Williams became Wonder Man thanks to Baron Zemo (Avengers, 1963, Issue #9). Williams was an inventor, like Stark, but Stark ends up putting him out of business. Desperate, he volunteered to be a guinea pig for Zemo’s experiments. Zemo gave him several treatments with IIRC, “Vita Rays”, which gave him his powers. But he needs daily medication, or he will die. He joins the Avengers, and intends to betray them to Zemo, but sees how noble they are, and turns on him. In doing so, he no longer gets the daily medication he needs, and “dies” as a result. Williams eventually returns, as his “death” was actually just his body needing time to transform into the ionic energy that he eventually becomes. Wonder Man was always one of my favourite characters. He ends up forming a firm friendship with Hank McCoy (Beast), and becomes a movie star, saving movie companies a fortune in special effects, as his indestructible body negates the need for them. He also becomes a pacifist, but does help out in times of great need, whether it be on the sidelines, helping out in disasters, or tackling minions and villains that are not “alive”, such as robots. Bonus fact: Unless this is retconned, Simon Williams is played by Nathan Fillion in the MCU (poster only, to date). You can see Fillion on a movie poster in one of the MCU movies (or possibly a Tom Holland Spider-Man movie) with the text “starring Simon Williams” emblazoned on it. Honestly, I think this is brilliant casting, and they should bring him onboard in a future Avengers movie (or perhaps a “Vision” movie?).

[@bizzarono1]

@@Wolf359inc Technically Nathan Fillion has already played Wonder Man. In the animated M.O.D.O.K. show

[@Wolf359inc]

@@bizzarono1 that, too, but I am not certain that M.O.D.O.K. counts as part of the MCU…

the brighter the light the greater the shadow cast by it however the shadow cannot exist without out the light. like all dynamically opposed forces/concepts/groups Heroes and Villains can only exist together if one side were to vanish the other would eventually follow.

[@bahamutzero32958]

Dunno if this counts because it’s manga and not technically a comic book series in the traditional sense but I would argue that Frieza created 2 of his own worst enemies, both Goku and Vegeta. Goku would’ve never learned the martial arts that he learned on Earth and by extension the afterlife if Frieza never attacked Planet Vegeta causing Goku’s father to send him away all Kal-El style. Frieza also didn’t do himself any favors by treating Vegeta and the rest of the surviving Saiyans like slaves to help his empire grow.

[@Lithonian]

Megatron & Optimus Prime in the episode War Dawn from the original 80s cartoon

[@TheRezro]

Yes, though in actual lore it is WAY more complicated aka half of Primes are evil... you know... Soundwave (Logos/Quintus Prime), Shockwave (Onyx Prime) and Starscream (Liege Maximo) are actually Primes. It also include Sideways aka Amalgamous Prime and Megatron is really good actor though 👍 Though Predaking/Megatron II (Megatronus/Fallen) he is not. PS: Optimus Prime is himself and Optimus Primal is Prima/Oracle.

[@TheFaulkned]

How about Deacon Frost and Blade, Spawn and Malbogia? Maybe a later installment

[@oldmangeek3007]

While not comics one name pops up in my head about this catagory ... Frieza ! Cause his greatest defeat in Goku and his death in " raising" Vegeta who had a son Trunks that killed him and his father Cooler.

[@MrZer093]

He also brought Goku and Vegeta to want revenge after destroying their planet and killing their people. In the end, no matter how you interpret it, Frieza did cause his own eventual downfall due to his actions against the saiyans.

It maybe in the cartoon and not necessarily in the comics, but megatron created optimus prime in transformers. In the episode ‘war dawn’ it shows just before the war megatron befriends a bot called orion pax, who one day shows megatron around the dock he works at. When megatron sees its full of energon that he wants he soots orion and attacks the dock. Orion is taken to alpha trion who then rebuilds him into optimus prime. When megatron is confronted by him ne asks who he is before optimus replies “your worst nightmare!”.

I'd say Reverse Flash belongs on this list. Maybe not in creating The Flash's powers, but his tendency for time travel vengeance in reverse Not only is partially responsible for Barry Allen's morals, but for creating the antagonism against him in the first place

Not a comic book character but definitely a superhero, most Masked Riders origins are tied to thier villians. The Showa era were usually granted powers by the villian only to rebel against them. And most of the Heisei Riders have some link between them and the villians (like in Faiz and Kabuto the belts and weapons were made by the villians).
