Xavier's true X-men

Marvel

you mean Fox

 

[LordRaptor]

I can sorta see why people would say that, but I want someone to really explain it to me.

 

[OneEightZero]

Emma.

 

[Elegant Weapon]

See, if it's just that bringing the original 5 into the present thing that makes Beast a villain, whatever

Heroes make mistakes

 

[jph139]

I'd say Magneto or Emma Frost, but honestly they're best as "morally grey antagonist" than full-out villains. So I'll toss Reverend Stryker out there.

I really love when the X-Men are up against people like him (or Senator Kelly) - regular humans who are just real cunts about the whole mutant thing. Like, you can't really even fight him. He's just mundane, insidious, perverting hatred - even if he gets torn down there'll be someone new to take his place.

 

[HiiiLife]

Magneto is one of my fav Marvel characters period. So him.

Omega Red second.

Don’t really care that much for anyone else.

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

Magneto is so good that I just don't care about the rest.

 

[psynergylover]

Magneto is the only one actually worth a shit.

But Sauron because all he wants is to turn people into dinosaurs.

LOL!!! this is real!?!?!?

 

[Iva Demilcol]

I'd go for Mr. Sinister.

The others have their own agendas and act to set them off, but Mr. Sinister prefer to stay in the shadows manipulating guys and we are not exactly sure if what he says is true or not.

[Slayven]

For real lets give it up for Ahab, a crazy cyborg that goes around chucking harpoons at Mutants

Upstarts, young rich mutants that hunt other mutants because they are bored

I haven't been following closely: has there been significant fallout from that? It definitely seemed like the sort of thing that they always say will have grave time/space continuum-y consequences (a la Flashpoint) but I never heard of those materializing for the time-displaced X-Men...

 

[Althane]

LOL!!! this is real!?!?!?

Spiderman and the X-men.

From what I remember of it, was pretty awesome.

 

[Slayven]

Spidey always there for the kids

 

[Parallax]

The children of the vault.

I really wish they did more with them

 

[QuantumZebra]

Everyone else will say it but Magneto

.

Marvel SUCKS in the villains category

 

[Althane]

Spidey always there for the kids

He's really the heart of the Earth-based Marvel crew.

I should really figure out what's going in the Marvel Universe these days. I feel like I haven't read mainstream Marvel since... an event or two before Civil War II.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Jason Wyngarde

 

[Skiptastic]

Age of Apocalypse was my favorite run next to Fatal Attractions, so I’ll go with Apocalypse, Holocaust, and Magneto.

 

[The Driver]

The X-Men got a really cool rogues gallery. Granted a lot of them are weird fucks with a laundry list of powers and abilities but you gotta bring the heat when you’re going up against a team with a lot of heavy hitters of their own.

Sugarman is one I haven’t seen mentioned yet though obviously dudes like Mags, Sinister, Apoc, SK, are pretty good.

I also really liked Danger.

 

[DustyVonEric]

Magneto
Hellfire Club
Then super-powers Brood

Spoiler

Disney / Inhumans

 

[the chris]

Mr. Sinister always seemed interesting.

I always liked Mr. Sinister just for the name alone.

Kieron Gillen had a great version of Mr. Sinister that lived in a Victorian styled castle with clones of himself, Madelyne Pryor and weaponized X-Men clones which he used to fight the Phoenix-powered X-Men:

 

[Slayven]

Children of the Vault were bootleg Neo

 

[darklin0]

Cyclops.

Spoiler

Real answer, Magneto

 

[Scuffed]

Apocalypse. I grew up on the cartoon and loved the voice lol.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

Mr. Sinister or the Shadow King

 

[Slayven]

Mr. Sinister or the Shadow King

I like that Shadowking takes over bodies just to eat and get fat

 

[Elegant Weapon]

Marvel SUCKS in the villains category

Grey Gargoyle says you're wrong

 

[MattKeil]

Yeah, when Apocalypse is done well, he's the best and most thematically relevant to the mutant concept.

What they did to him in the movie was criminal. Maybe one day an X-Men villain other than Magneto will be done justice on the big screen.

 

[Slayven]

Grey Gargoyle says you're wrong

Did they ever fix Paris?

 

[Temp_User]

Sinister. Dude has the quality and quantity (and in the case of the Summer bloodline,way over-used) of stories to fill the primary antagonist role just in case Mags went super-hero permanently.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

There’s a lot of great Xmen Villains. Mr Sinster, Sebastian Shaw, Apocalypse , Shadow King.

But I think Magneto is still one of the best villains/ anti-Heroes Marvel has ever put out.

 

[sooperkool]

The children of the vault.

Did they ever show up again? They're like the Shi'Ar Death Commandos. Great characters wasted on one-shots.

 

[Renekton]

Was Apocalypse, until the internet taught me how low his power levels are.

Like, Gladiator would use him as a basketball.

 

[BigJonsson]

Magneto, Apocalypse, Onslaught, Mr Sinister, Master Mold

 

[cyborg009]

The Shadow King is awesome. I love what they did with him in Legion too.

This. Also I kind of forgot about the hellfire club.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

I like that Shadowking takes over bodies just to eat and get fat

Not much to eat in the shadow realm when Yugi keeps sending scrawny kids there.

 

[MisterHero]

Fucking Proteus

he made Wolverine cry

 

[itwasTuesday]

I mained him in MvS & MvC2, but I still really like Omega Red's design. Especially his Soviet motif. Wish we saw more of him.

He would be amazing to see on screen. I fear it would just be a iron man 2 whiplash ordeal though.

Fucking Proteus

he made Wolverine cry

Scorpions freak him out too

 

[Slayven]

Nerd

Fucking Proteus

Not just cry, turn straight up baby. Cyclops literally had to slap him so hard he regrew his nuts

 

[Rhaknar]

Sinister obviously

 

[Decado]

Sabertooth and Magneto. Latter is OP, though.

 

[Slayven]

Which was these were intended to be Mr.Sinster's origin?

An immortal mutant stuck in the form of an 8 year old child who was obsessed with being Cyclops friend?

or

A time displaced and insane Colossus fulfilling a temporal paradox?

 

[LordRaptor]

On a conceptual level, Sublime is the coolest X villain

 

[Fancyarcher]

Fair enough lol

Ended the original trilogy with a dud till DOFP redeemed it.

X-Men 3 is still the most successful of the X-Men films, despite it being retconned out. Ratner was hired as a last minute replacement, and the script was rewritten at the last minute too. I'm not some Ratner defender, but a lot more of what happened with X3 should probably fall more on the fox-studio side of things. They really didn't know what they wanted to do with The X-Men until after First Class.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

For real lets give it up for Ahab, a crazy cyborg that goes around chucking harpoons at Mutants

Ahab was okay. Man, reading that first arc with him was whiplash with the artwork. At least it ended with sweet Art Adams art.


But really, the greatest X-Men villain of all is this:

 

[AwayFromInfinityx]

Sinister obviously

My choice as well.

Also, Nimrod was cool too. lol

If you going that route, then Chris Claremount is the X-men's Anti-Monitor
