10: Doomsday
Although he was later revealed to be a being from Krypton (just like Superman), the initial introduction of this character was nothing short of brilliant. Shown on panel as locked away. the creature known as Doomsday eventually broke free from his prison and cut a path of destruction throughout the DC Universe. The Justice League tried to stop him and failed. One last hope emerged: Superman! Superman finally stopped the monster, but not without the cost of his own life.

9: Bane
Raised in a South American prison, Bane eventually escaped and came to Gotham City with one goal in mind: take the city away from Batman! To achieve this goal, Bane freed the inmates of Arkham Asylum, forcing Batman to fight nearly every adversary he'd ever locked away. Exhausted from battle, Bane confronts Barman in Wayne Manor and instead of killing him he breaks his back! This led Jean Paul Valley better known as Azreal to take the mantle of the Bat and confront Bane. Bane is defeated as Azreal discovers Bane's weakness, a dependancy on Venom, a drug that gives Bane superhuman strength.

8: Doctor Octopus

Spider-Man tries to stop the good Doctor and is trounced, soundly! Only with the words given in a speech by the Human Torch at his high school can inspire Spidey to don the webs again and confront Doc Ock. Ock is eventually defeated but would go on to become one of the toughest and most persistent Spider-Man villains ever.

7. Sinestro
Once considered the greatest of Green Lanterns, Sinestro becomes obsessed with defeating the outside alien forces attacking his home planet of Korugar and decides the best way to do this is rule the planet himself and become dictator.
