There’s a lot more contention too. I felt like it was super easy when it comes to the heroes. Spidey, Superman and Batman are not up for debate. The fourth one is up to you. I’m seeing different lists by everyone here. The only constant seems to be the Joker, rightly so
Honestly I feel like Joker, Lex Luthor, Doctor Doom and Magneto is pretty definitively the correct list, I can't think of anyone else who could take anyone else's place here. The heroes MT whilst yes, it has a defined 3 quarters undoubtedly with Superman, Batman and Spider-Man, the fourth place is actually decently up for a debate, with Wolverine, Hulk, Flash, Wonder Woman, Captain America, you can make a pretty solid case for any of them.

I too hate that stupidly powerful bastard. The dark multiverse was kinda an interesting concept, but the Batman who laughs exemplified everything wrong with Batman, with all the most cringe parts of the Joker.
While I do like Dr. Doom, I'd argue he isn't as iconic as Thanos is on the modern age, especially after the MCU. Actually, if it wasn't a rule to include only Marvel and DC, I'd argue that Shredder from TMNT should have been on the fourth place
A great villain needs to be the perfect foil for the hero, the ying to his yang. Lex Luthor, who started out as your stereotypical mad scientist of the 30s pulps, has grown into the perfect foil for Superman, the polar opposite of him in many respects. Brain versus brawn. Merely human versus super human. Wealthy urbanite versus working class farm boy. Corruption versus incorruptibility. Egomania versus humble selflessness. Powerful elite versus journalist whose job is to expose the powerful elite. I could go on and on. And I love how Lex resents Superman's very existence as a kind of insult to human achievement, the kind of achievement Lex has exemplified. So, there's a psychological component to their rivalry. It's the perfect pairing of villain and hero.
Exactly, Superman represents hope, better tomorrow, but Lex is someone who completely misinterprets that lection. I always liked that Lex isn't overly cartoony egoistic and up his own ass, like Lex DOES genuinely respect other people, even if they're better than him in some way, because he appreciated and respects, to put it simply "the grind", no matter how much would he love to be number 1. Superman irritates him because it's a spit to the face, having someone who is automatically better than everyone BY DEFAULT? It's like a joke. Honestly Batman vs Joker and Superman vs Lex Luthor are such lighting in the bottle type rivalries, I can't BELIEVE DC nailed those two so well, easily my favorite rivalries in comic history
I wouldn’t say that. I would say that Superman and Luthor both represent America, Luthor the corporate and often corrupt(but frequently noble) side, and Superman, the idealistic, kind, and honorable people side.
Personally I would put Deathstroke in over Ra’s Al Guhl for the Bronze Age. The Judas Contract is often considered one of the best storylines in DC Comics history and cemented Deathstroke’s reputation as one of the most iconic DC villains. That’s not to say Ra’s never had great stories, but none of them have stood the rest of time to be adapted multiple times.
Ra’s pretty much peaked back then and then that’s really it outside of Batman begins making him more popular. He’s a product of when Batman was more “James bond esque” where as deathstroke is still MASSIVELY popular especially since Arkham origins … in fact I honestly think he’s too overused now
But that's the thing Deathstroke was too limited by the fact that he fought 13-year-olds. Ra's was always tested by the best of the best in Batman until he was kinda ruined by Arrow CW and TMNT/Batman.
@@FriendlyBatDoom Deathstroke was out throwing hands with some of the most dangerous, reality-shattering 13 year olds in the history of existence pretty much solo, Ra’s needed an entire secret society to fuck with one rich guy in a fursuit. Not even close on a power comparison.

Doom, Magneto, Joker, and Luthor is the correct answer all time. Great job. All have spawned copy cats and have interesting depth and concepts to them. Darkside, Thanos, and Doomsday are evil for evil’s sake, which is fun, but takes them off all time for me. Green Goblin is off because he’s just another version of the whole Jackal and Hide thing with more Joker mixed in. Great video, killed it.
Thanos has become so fucking iconic for common audiences in like 4 years, that I think he takes off Luthor off the Rushmore just by the share amount of people that recognize him.
Darksied and Doomsday being evil (especially Doomsday) are meant to represent direct foils to the concept of Hope and that concept being embodied by Superman. Also Joker is pretty needlessly evil. Sure he’s got a “backstory” but so does Doomsday technically. He was killed a ton of times by his creator and made into a monster.
I feel like Sinestro was glossed over here. From 2007-2011 he was one of the biggest villains in comics and was probably DC’s top villain for a hot minute. Not saying he needed to be in the Rushmore exactly but he should get more of an honorable mention.
Doom is kinda my favorite villain ever, not only is he badass, but he can work not only with the Fantastic 4, but just about every other hero, in Marvel. He’ll always manly be a Fantastic 4 villain obviously, but he can also be an avengers villain, or a Spidey villan, every now and then. He’s just that flexible as a character, that’s why he’s the GOAT of villains.
Doom's legit my favourite Villian but the Joker is defo the Goat. The only person close to the clown, is Vader (which is funny because Lucas somewhat based Vader on Dr Doom). Doom is defo the marvel Goat tho, I'd say Thanos, Green Goblin and Magneto round out the Marvel Rushmore.
@@himum3429 "which is funny because Lucas somewhat based Vader on Dr Doom" I keep hearing this but what is the source on that? I can't find Lucas saying that anywhere and he mostly says Vader was based on some samurai esque design
Honestly, some villains fit other heroes better, imo. Imagine if Galactus was the one who destroyed Krypton, or that Kingpin controls Gotham's surface just as Penguin rules underneath the city like in Batman Returns. Lex Luthor is iconic, but I've always felt that Superman constantly had to be nerfed (especially his intelligence) in order maintain their rivalry. Flash's rogues gallery has been praised for its variety, but most of them are quite random in my eyes. TMNT villains, on the other hand, are underrated. And perhaps there's too much team switching in X-Men.
@@LooseAsADEUCEHonestly in anti-heros marvel takes the cake easily, the mount would be Wolverine, Deadpool, Venom and Punisher and even then you have more options like Ghost Rider, Black Widow, Winter Soldier, Blade,etc. DCs only candidates would be Harley and Red Hood tbh
Good all Time list. I think Thanos would be on on my list solely due to the MCU. He was the most hyped up villains of any comic movie, and was practically the main character of infinity war. Infinity war and endgame were also some of the highest grossing films too. Not only that, but the infinity war storyline back in the day was pretty big and I feel like after infinity war, he got put more into the spotlight in the comics. And now that Kang ( or probably doom at this point) is going to be the big bad of the mcu, I hear a lot of people expecting a lot from them is since thanos set the bar so high.
I wouldn't say the infinity war was pretty big back in the day. It was a pretty forgetable comic. Mostly because Nebula just grabbed the gauntlet and killed thanos like it was nothing. But the film version made him more popular. Before the movies Thanos wasn't as popular as other villains. He only peaked in popularity when the MCU arrived and his small appearance in 2012's Avengers. That's when his popularity started to grow. So his impact right now on media didn't even really start in 2012's Avengers but i'll say that anyways meaning that Thanos peaked over the past 12 years. Which truly doesn't keep up with people like Joker who've been popular for like 50+ years. He doesn't make it on the list.
Honestly in my mind it has to be Joker, Lex Luthor, Green Goblin and Doctor Doom. Although Doom can easily be replaced by Thanos due to how much more popular he became in recent years
IMO Batman Can Fill the entire Mountain with Joker Roddler Bane and For the last Spot You Can Have Catwoman Mr Freeze Penguin TwoFace Raz Al Gual Poison Ivy Clayface Scarecrow all Iconic in there own Right I’m Not Saying He should But he definitely Could
@@senhor_errante I mean, how are you gonna have Spider-Man but you don’t have the guy that literally was one of the very first villains to literallywhen I mean, he beat Spider-Man by killing one that was something at the time that was never it on the hero never lost the girl I think green goblin should be up there.
I think Dr. Sivana should have been in consideration for the Golden Age Rushmore. Although Black Adam is often considered Captain Marvel’s main villain in the modern day, back in the golden age that honour, without a doubt, belonged to Sivana whose appearance would go on to characterize our modern visual interpretation of the mad scientist trope.
@@herowither12354 thats only because the Dr hasn't been done justice on the big screen give my man a director thst actually gives a shit and people will fucking love him way more than Thanos
The only villain I am sure of that would make it no matter what is The Joker Edit: I love how the Villain Rushmore is equally divided between Marvel and DC with the DC villains being villains of individual heroes while the Marvel villains are villains are villains of groups. Personally, I would pick Goblin over Doom due to familiarity with Goblin but I can understand it.
Nah, goblin isn’t as great as doom. The only reason you feel that way is because goblin is a Spider-Man villain. Doom has had way more impact and could be placed on this guys list in every age whereas goblin cant. I love Pisderman and the green goblin, but what is a Goblin To Lord Doom
You don’t read comics? Reverse Flash didn’t even make it on his origin ages list, he’ll even in the later ages he wouldn’t make it. He is not an all timer
The Reverse Flash deserves his spot purely because unlike the other villains he doesn't pussyfoot around with "themes" or nonsense like that, he's the opposite of the Flash because his name says so and he has on a backwards costume. Remarkably efficient.
Yet not as iconic as the others, not as significant to their universe, and frankly, not as popular. He’s great, but it he isn’t an all timer great when it’s limited to 4
A shame that there isn’t at least one spot that isn’t Marvel or DC characters, Shredder could be a good contender for that spot, or the Violator from Spawn.
I feel like Reverse Flash deserves to be on here because of not only how cool he is, but how influential he is. Without a polar opposite character like him, it’s likely that we wouldn’t have cool characters like Venom, and Shadow The Hedgehog.
1) It's sort of funny that for like, half a century The Penguin was probably more known to the public than any villain outside the Joker or Luthor. 2) I think if you split up the modern age further, the Green Goblin would have missed a Rushmore spot. Osborn was "dead" for more than twenty years, those twenty years being some of the most lucrative for the comic book industry. While his legacy was felt (See: Hobgoblin) I think he owed his renaissance to the "back to basics" mentality that happened in the wake of Kurt Busiek's and Alex Ross's MARVELS. 3) When I was growing up, Sabretooth was sort of a bigger deal than Mystique. I think the movies definitely raised her profile, I also think it was the rise of the Gay Rights movement, where she was the one who most represented the X-Men's queer parallels. 4) It's funny, Thanos feels like he's an outsized impact due to the movies (And seriously, he's sort of become a verb in the larger popular consciousness) but because the X-Men and Spider-Man "silos" were more high profile, you forget he wasn't exactly asleep at the wheel. He got to be in the cartoons, he got to be a final boss in video games, I think he might even be the only Marvel villain to get a card in every single Marvel wide series (Except for maybe Venom, who you disqualified).
My all time four are: 1. Joker (he's one of the most popular fictional characters) 2. Lex Luthor (one of the most recognizable villains) 3. Reverse Flash (his popularity rised in stories like flashpoint and the CW show. And he's the anti barry. Which later inspired characters like godspeed, zoom, red hulk, venom, Prometheus, Batman who laughs and many more) 4. Green Goblin (He's not only the most popular spider-man villain but has had many appearances outside of comics like Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3, TASM2, NWH and video games. And spider-man's animated series and spectacular spiderman and ITSV. And has alot of stories that make him even more popular like the death of gwen stacy.)
Keep Zooming, mate! Well done on bot videos! Thoroughly enjoyed, discovered a few new ones, and each entry was properly justified (reasonably so anyways). Keep it up!
Doomsday, Dr. Doom, Darth Vader (or Palpatine) and The Joker. I think some honorable mentions should be Darksied, Green Goblin, Lex Luthor, Red Skull, Godzilla (1954) and King Ghidorah from just about any iteration. There’s a load of other characters for the Rushmore spots and I just kinda linked the characters from all over there history. Can’t forget Transformers either, Unicron, Megatron, Starscream and Shockwave are all contenders
@@MasterTemplar781well you could argue shedder because TMNT have appeared in some parts of dc and Star Wars has some connection to marvel. But that’s just what I know
@@dc7981no. He’s fighting for mutant supremacy, which is what he doesn’t want to happen to mutants. An antihero is an antihero because they fight for a good cause through immoral means, magneto fights for a bad cause, maybe for a good reason, but he’s still evil.
If it’s 2 Marvel and 2 DC then it has to be Doctor Doom, the Green Goblin, Lex Luthor and Joker. All Marvel: Doom, Goblin, Thanos and Magneto All DC: Luthor, Joker, Darkseid and Deathstroke.
@@rangelsedits - Yes. He’s the archenemy of DC’s #2 superhero team, was their archenemy in a time when, not only were they at their most popular, they were constantly competing to be the #1 best-selling monthly book, with X-Men at the height of their popularity. He’s also responsible for the best Titans story, The Judas Contract, has defeated and nearly killed them on multiple occasions, has taken on and held his own against Batman, Green Arrow and even the Justice League and has made way more appearances in extended media, including one of the best and most popular DC shows of all time, the Teen Titans cartoons
This list is not good. Goblin is not a better fit than magneto by any stretch. Spidey is my favorite hero, and goblin is my favorite villain of spideys, but magneto beats him without question. I think the people saying goblin have some recency bias
@@oldylad Magneto has been a anti hero plenty of times and barely been a villian as of late. He is more protective over mutants and hates humans who are racist against his kind. He has helped the Xmen lots of times. Green Goblin is a VILLIAN and the first one to successfully kill the love interest and he is also the main villian of marvels number 1 hero Spider-Man
It’s an absolute crime reverse flash isn’t on any Mount Rushmore he’s the definition of petty and evil and a counterpart to his hero flash makes his destiny reverse flash was made by his he will stop at nothing to make the flashes life a hell hes beyond death and time and he’s a frequently used character throughout all time he was in silver age and he still is today he was frequently on the flash and other cw shows not to mention meme culture and animated projects I’m convinced he would have made it in a big movie if the dc movies weren’t ass for so long my best wishes to James but still she should be there especially if Godspeed is
@@himum3429 I mean he kinda right tho. Joker and Lex Luthor well that's self explanatory they are like 2 of the most popular villains in history. Meanwhile Reverse Flash was the first like evil version of the hero. Like the oppisite of the hero which later inspired things like Red Hulk, Venom, Zoom, Godspeed, Prometheus, batman who laughs, owlman, johnny quick, ultraman, iron monger and many more. And as for darkseid despite his decline in popularity he did inspire Thanos. However i wouldn't give Darkseid that spot on the all time rushmore.
Nah this has gotta be just the DC version cuz there's no way reverse flash, or darkseid would jump ahead of Dr doom, magneto, venom, green Goblin, doctor octopus, or Thanos.
@@KillerKingTy23 Darkseid would 100% beat most if not all of those characters, he's recognisable, a powerful threat, he's smart, he's practically pure evil and he has one of the most over powered super power (Omega beams). Additionally he inspired Thanos. Reverse flash was the most influential reverse version of a hero, he went from one of the flashes biggest fans to his worst enemy and most importantly he inspired many other characters such as Red Hulk, Venom, Batman who laughs, Owlman etc.
I think the best villains are the ones that are genuinely terrifying, like carnage and the joker. They don’t just want to watch the world burn. They want the world and everyone and everything in it to suffer in the most painful, drawn out way possible, and I love it.
28:15 Court of Owls. It’s the Court of Owls. Scott Snyder’s New 52 Batman run, has a far larger impact in and outside of the comics than Kull ever did. Who pretty much falls into the category as Anti-Monitor and Doomsday
Green Goblin over Doom is the crime of the century!! And the reason for it is bc the Spider-Man movie is better than the Fantastic 4 movie… I don’t think I could’ve even come up with a justification so absurd so you get points for creativity I guess….. WOW! You redeemed yourself in video. I have nothing but respect for you doing this. This is my all-time Rushmore as well. These 4 are just the best!
Lex Luthor has to be on here. I don't know any other villain dastardly enough to steal 40 cakes. That's as many as 4 tens, and that's terrible!
I'll steal 20 cakes and 20 more cakes
That's 2 cakes.. 20 times!! Evil bastard!

Lex, Doom, Joker and Green Goblin. That's my Mount Rushmore of villainy
Honestly, some villains fit other heroes better, imo. Imagine if Galactus was the one who destroyed Krypton, or that Kingpin controls Gotham's surface just as Penguin rules underneath the city like in Batman Returns. Lex Luthor is iconic, but I've always felt that Superman constantly had to be nerfed (especially his intelligence) in order maintain their rivalry. Flash's rogues gallery has been praised for its variety, but most of them are quite random in my eyes. TMNT villains, on the other hand, are underrated. And perhaps there's too much team switching in X-Men.
I actually adapted the entire God Butcher saga and Court of Owls and Knull stories into motion comic movies
I watched the Court of owls video you made it was really good. If anyone here hasn't seen it you should.

Well, now it's time for the Mount Rushmore of...Antiheroes!😁👍
All-Time Prediction: Venom, Harley, Deadpool, and Punisher
@@LooseAsADEUCE That seems about right to be honest and I totally agree with your all-time picks.
@@LooseAsADEUCEHonestly in anti-heros marvel takes the cake easily, the mount would be Wolverine, Deadpool, Venom and Punisher and even then you have more options like Ghost Rider, Black Widow, Winter Soldier, Blade,etc. DCs only candidates would be Harley and Red Hood tbh
Putting Atrocitus before Dex-Star is crazyyyyyy
Dex-Starr's only confirmed personality trait is loyalty to Atrocitus.
i only really like marvel, i know atrocitus, but have never heard of dex star until this video
Without atrocious there is no dexter star
@@trolleymouseyou forgot RAGE
Good all Time list. I think Thanos would be on on my list solely due to the MCU. He was the most hyped up villains of any comic movie, and was practically the main character of infinity war. Infinity war and endgame were also some of the highest grossing films too. Not only that, but the infinity war storyline back in the day was pretty big and I feel like after infinity war, he got put more into the spotlight in the comics. And now that Kang ( or probably doom at this point) is going to be the big bad of the mcu, I hear a lot of people expecting a lot from them is since thanos set the bar so high.
I wouldn't say the infinity war was pretty big back in the day. It was a pretty forgetable comic. Mostly because Nebula just grabbed the gauntlet and killed thanos like it was nothing. But the film version made him more popular. Before the movies Thanos wasn't as popular as other villains. He only peaked in popularity when the MCU arrived and his small appearance in 2012's Avengers. That's when his popularity started to grow. So his impact right now on media didn't even really start in 2012's Avengers but i'll say that anyways meaning that Thanos peaked over the past 12 years. Which truly doesn't keep up with people like Joker who've been popular for like 50+ years. He doesn't make it on the list.
In Superman 2, general zod, non, and ursa are using heat vision to make their own Mount Rushmore and destroying Lincoln.
I would have included The Maker in the post-modern era Rushmore personally
Honestly in my mind it has to be Joker, Lex Luthor, Green Goblin and Doctor Doom. Although Doom can easily be replaced by Thanos due to how much more popular he became in recent years
My immediate thoughts
Good pick, but I still think Magneto is just a bit more iconic than the Green Goblin
IMO Batman Can Fill the entire Mountain with Joker Roddler Bane and For the last Spot You Can Have Catwoman Mr Freeze Penguin TwoFace Raz Al Gual Poison Ivy Clayface Scarecrow all Iconic in there own Right I’m Not Saying He should But he definitely Could
@@senhor_errante I mean, how are you gonna have Spider-Man but you don’t have the guy that literally was one of the very first villains to literallywhen I mean, he beat Spider-Man by killing one that was something at the time that was never it on the hero never lost the girl I think green goblin should be up there.
Thanos doesn't deserve to be on that Rushmore over doom stop the cap, he only became popular due to mcu films.
I think Dr. Sivana should have been in consideration for the Golden Age Rushmore. Although Black Adam is often considered Captain Marvel’s main villain in the modern day, back in the golden age that honour, without a doubt, belonged to Sivana whose appearance would go on to characterize our modern visual interpretation of the mad scientist trope.
I say Lex Luthor, Magneto, Dr Doom, and the Joker
1. Joker
2. Magneto
3. Dr. Doom
4. Lex Luthor
10 years ago, sure. But now, Thanos is definitely on the Rushmore. He's way more recognizable than Doom.
reverse flash?
@@herowither12354 thats only because the Dr hasn't been done justice on the big screen give my man a director thst actually gives a shit and people will fucking love him way more than Thanos
@@johnrockyryan So true. Doom is and always will be my number one favorite comic book character. I truly hope RDJ can do him justice in the MCU.
The only villain I am sure of that would make it no matter what is The Joker
Edit: I love how the Villain Rushmore is equally divided between Marvel and DC with the DC villains being villains of individual heroes while the Marvel villains are villains are villains of groups.
Personally, I would pick Goblin over Doom due to familiarity with Goblin but I can understand it.
Nah, goblin isn’t as great as doom. The only reason you feel that way is because goblin is a Spider-Man villain. Doom has had way more impact and could be placed on this guys list in every age whereas goblin cant. I love Pisderman and the green goblin, but what is a Goblin To Lord Doom
Mystique was an odd choice. There's about 20 I could think of before her.
I was thinking the same, then he said she was more popular than Deathstroke and I was floored.
Before the video starts I have to call it as Lex Luther, Magneto, Joker and Doctor Doom or MAYBE Venom.
I 100% agree with the final 4 they are what I would choose
“Speaking of place, you might want to put me in mind with this next choice…” Love it
1. Joker
2. Doctor Doom
3. Darkseid
4. Thanos/Magneto
6. Galactus
7. Doc Ock
8. Green Goblin
9. Brainiac
10. Lex Luthor
HM. Deathstroke, Harley Quinn, Reverse Flash, Bane, Mr. Mxyzptlk, Starro, Bizarro, Sinestro, Black Adam, Doomsday, Anti Monitor, Red Skull, Mystique, Ultraman, Two Face, Ra's Al Ghul, Sandman, Lobo, Captain Cold, Riddler, Penguin, the Phoenix, Apocalypse, Carnage, Atrocitus, Red Hulk, Loki, Juggernaut, Poison Ivy, Trigon
Maybe Dr Sivana, AMAZO, Ultron and Sabretooth too.
i applaud this video
notably more objective and broader in scope than the heroes version just like you elaborated on in the end
I called it in the community posts
I feel like the bad guy Mt Rushmore is easily Luthor, Joker, Magneto, Doom
No one laughs at Mr Fish
I would say The Petiest Man Alive instead of Doctor Doom.
You don’t read comics? Reverse Flash didn’t even make it on his origin ages list, he’ll even in the later ages he wouldn’t make it. He is not an all timer
My all time
1. Joker
2. Lex Luthor
3. Magneto
4. Reverse Flash (his pettiness is unmatched)
4. Dr Doom
The Reverse Flash deserves his spot purely because unlike the other villains he doesn't pussyfoot around with "themes" or nonsense like that, he's the opposite of the Flash because his name says so and he has on a backwards costume. Remarkably efficient.
Yet not as iconic as the others, not as significant to their universe, and frankly, not as popular. He’s great, but it he isn’t an all timer great when it’s limited to 4
A shame that there isn’t at least one spot that isn’t Marvel or DC characters, Shredder could be a good contender for that spot, or the Violator from Spawn.
I feel like Reverse Flash deserves to be on here because of not only how cool he is, but how influential he is. Without a polar opposite character like him, it’s likely that we wouldn’t have cool characters like Venom, and Shadow The Hedgehog.
1) It's sort of funny that for like, half a century The Penguin was probably more known to the public than any villain outside the Joker or Luthor.
2) I think if you split up the modern age further, the Green Goblin would have missed a Rushmore spot. Osborn was "dead" for more than twenty years, those twenty years being some of the most lucrative for the comic book industry. While his legacy was felt (See: Hobgoblin) I think he owed his renaissance to the "back to basics" mentality that happened in the wake of Kurt Busiek's and Alex Ross's MARVELS.
3) When I was growing up, Sabretooth was sort of a bigger deal than Mystique. I think the movies definitely raised her profile, I also think it was the rise of the Gay Rights movement, where she was the one who most represented the X-Men's queer parallels.
4) It's funny, Thanos feels like he's an outsized impact due to the movies (And seriously, he's sort of become a verb in the larger popular consciousness) but because the X-Men and Spider-Man "silos" were more high profile, you forget he wasn't exactly asleep at the wheel. He got to be in the cartoons, he got to be a final boss in video games, I think he might even be the only Marvel villain to get a card in every single Marvel wide series (Except for maybe Venom, who you disqualified).
Ah yes the villain Mount Rushmore, consisting of Lex Luthor, Magneto, Dr Doom and Jerma985.
My all time four are:
1. Joker (he's one of the most popular fictional characters)
2. Lex Luthor (one of the most recognizable villains)
3. Reverse Flash (his popularity rised in stories like flashpoint and the CW show. And he's the anti barry. Which later inspired characters like godspeed, zoom, red hulk, venom, Prometheus, Batman who laughs and many more)
4. Green Goblin (He's not only the most popular spider-man villain but has had many appearances outside of comics like Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3, TASM2, NWH and video games. And spider-man's animated series and spectacular spiderman and ITSV. And has alot of stories that make him even more popular like the death of gwen stacy.)
reverse flash and goblin should be swapped with doom and thanos imo
Great list, the lack Of Dr.Doom is scary tho
@@Z4NKA1 Agreed
who dares insult doom this way you shall be punished so says doom
Keep Zooming, mate! Well done on bot videos! Thoroughly enjoyed, discovered a few new ones, and each entry was properly justified (reasonably so anyways). Keep it up!
Doomsday, Dr. Doom, Darth Vader (or Palpatine) and The Joker. I think some honorable mentions should be Darksied, Green Goblin, Lex Luthor, Red Skull, Godzilla (1954) and King Ghidorah from just about any iteration. There’s a load of other characters for the Rushmore spots and I just kinda linked the characters from all over there history. Can’t forget Transformers either, Unicron, Megatron, Starscream and Shockwave are all contenders
Darth vader is such a strong villain that he should break the rules and be on the Rushmore anyway
0:02 Bad boy season 💪
Also can't believe Marvel's Dracula wasn't even in consideration. One of my personal favorite comic book villains
My List:
-Magneto
-Sauron
-Darth Vader
-Griffith
As someone who has grown apart from superhero media the last 5 or so years, your videos have given me a newfound appreciation for the genre
This is a based comment that I agree with especially with the burnout from the sheer content from all media sources.
@@orlandotill and the lack of creativity
For me its
Joker Shredder Vader Thanos
He said marvel and DC only so shredder and vader aren't allowed.
@@MasterTemplar781well you could argue shedder because TMNT have appeared in some parts of dc and Star Wars has some connection to marvel. But that’s just what I know
@@Slick9562No the character have to appear at dc and marvel since the beginning.
Dr. Doom, Lex Luthor, and Joker for sure need to be on there. Without those three it cant be considered legitimate.
Magneto doesn’t need to be? You underestimate his significance bro
Court of Owls will definitely be explored more with Pattinson's Batman .. the Gotham series also touched on them
Hopefully
yea i’d agree 100% these 4 are absolutely the best . Magneto is like an anti hero nowadays but he’ll always be the perfect villian for the x-men
Hes an anti villain which is why he works, hes an anti hero to mutants but a villain to the x men
@@dc7981no. He’s fighting for mutant supremacy, which is what he doesn’t want to happen to mutants. An antihero is an antihero because they fight for a good cause through immoral means, magneto fights for a bad cause, maybe for a good reason, but he’s still evil.
If it’s 2 Marvel and 2 DC then it has to be Doctor Doom, the Green Goblin, Lex Luthor and Joker.
All Marvel: Doom, Goblin, Thanos and Magneto
All DC: Luthor, Joker, Darkseid and Deathstroke.
slade over thawne?
@@rangelsedits - Yes. He’s the archenemy of DC’s #2 superhero team, was their archenemy in a time when, not only were they at their most popular, they were constantly competing to be the #1 best-selling monthly book, with X-Men at the height of their popularity. He’s also responsible for the best Titans story, The Judas Contract, has defeated and nearly killed them on multiple occasions, has taken on and held his own against Batman, Green Arrow and even the Justice League and has made way more appearances in extended media, including one of the best and most popular DC shows of all time, the Teen Titans cartoons
This list is not good. Goblin is not a better fit than magneto by any stretch. Spidey is my favorite hero, and goblin is my favorite villain of spideys, but magneto beats him without question. I think the people saying goblin have some recency bias
@@oldylad Magneto has been a anti hero plenty of times and barely been a villian as of late. He is more protective over mutants and hates humans who are racist against his kind. He has helped the Xmen lots of times. Green Goblin is a VILLIAN and the first one to successfully kill the love interest and he is also the main villian of marvels number 1 hero Spider-Man
On the thumbnail we have Lex, Magneto, and... Beethoven
It’s an absolute crime reverse flash isn’t on any Mount Rushmore he’s the definition of petty and evil and a counterpart to his hero flash makes his destiny reverse flash was made by his he will stop at nothing to make the flashes life a hell hes beyond death and time and he’s a frequently used character throughout all time he was in silver age and he still is today he was frequently on the flash and other cw shows not to mention meme culture and animated projects I’m convinced he would have made it in a big movie if the dc movies weren’t ass for so long my best wishes to James but still she should be there especially if Godspeed is
It isn’t whether he’s iconic or more iconic than Godspeed, it’s his competition. Go look at the silver age and tell me he beats any of them
That top 4 is perfect
Carnage over Doomsday is unforgivable
Every comic made throughout your life be your childhood comic.
Because the childhood will never end! I see you pop into the video every now and then😄
All Time Mount Rushmore Of Villains:
1. Lex Luthor
2. The Joker
3. Darkseid
4. Eobard Thawne/Reverse Flash
You mean just DC Villians right😂.
@@himum3429 I mean he kinda right tho. Joker and Lex Luthor well that's self explanatory they are like 2 of the most popular villains in history. Meanwhile Reverse Flash was the first like evil version of the hero. Like the oppisite of the hero which later inspired things like Red Hulk, Venom, Zoom, Godspeed, Prometheus, batman who laughs, owlman, johnny quick, ultraman, iron monger and many more. And as for darkseid despite his decline in popularity he did inspire Thanos. However i wouldn't give Darkseid that spot on the all time rushmore.
Nah this has gotta be just the DC version cuz there's no way reverse flash, or darkseid would jump ahead of Dr doom, magneto, venom, green Goblin, doctor octopus, or Thanos.
No way Reverse Flash is in the top 4
@@KillerKingTy23
Darkseid would 100% beat most if not all of those characters, he's recognisable, a powerful threat, he's smart, he's practically pure evil and he has one of the most over powered super power (Omega beams). Additionally he inspired Thanos.
Reverse flash was the most influential reverse version of a hero, he went from one of the flashes biggest fans to his worst enemy and most importantly he inspired many other characters such as Red Hulk, Venom, Batman who laughs, Owlman etc.
That already exists it's called Mount Rushmore
18:46 Please send me the names of all my fellow millennials who hate Jubilee. I would like to have a word with them *grabs shotgun*.
Lex Luthor, The Joker, Doctor Doom and Magneto
Holy shit, That's exactly what he went with
im gay
It would probably be Joker, Lex Luthor, Green goblin, and Dr Doom
Why isn't MF DOOM there
Joker, Doctor Doom, Magento and Darkseid.
It would be interesting to see your take on an Anime mount Rushmore or just anime protagonist mount Rushmore
I love the art style for the thumbnail, looks so cute
Honestly, the all time one couldn't be anything else.
I think the best villains are the ones that are genuinely terrifying, like carnage and the joker. They don’t just want to watch the world burn. They want the world and everyone and everything in it to suffer in the most painful, drawn out way possible, and I love it.
28:15
Court of Owls. It’s the Court of Owls. Scott Snyder’s New 52 Batman run, has a far larger impact in and outside of the comics than Kull ever did. Who pretty much falls into the category as Anti-Monitor and Doomsday
Darkseid everyone’s Darkseid at some point
Awesome video 🤙
My MT Rushmore would be Thanos, Joker, Green Goblin, and Doctor Doom.
Noticed that you had 2.74K subscribers as of the time of typing. At this rate, you’re poised to grow a ton very shortly! I subscribed!
Green Goblin over Doom is the crime of the century!! And the reason for it is bc the Spider-Man movie is better than the Fantastic 4 movie… I don’t think I could’ve even come up with a justification so absurd so you get points for creativity I guess….. WOW! You redeemed yourself in video. I have nothing but respect for you doing this. This is my all-time Rushmore as well. These 4 are just the best!
For the villian mount Rushmore I think it should be: joker, ozymandias, magneto, and doctor doom.
Ozy isn't a popular villain dude.
Doc Ock playing second to Green Goblin doesnt sit right in my soul.
Vader, Joker, Magneto and Voldemort
But if only Marvel and DC
Joker, Lex, Magneto and Doom
Vader-Joker-Thanos-Darkseid
Swap dark side with magneto
this video is great bro, it cool that you split the video into the different comic eras, anyways I subbed keep up the good work !!
This was waaaay harder than the Super heroes
