Antagonists in films that actually felt like a real threat

[Mr.Marion]

Kylo and Rey could barely keep up with a few Emperor guards together. Darth Maul on the other hand took on Qui-Gon and Obi with his eyes closed, actually killing Liam Neeson in film.



Robert Patrick's cerebral portrayal of T-1000 , didn't play no games.

Yellow Submarine's Glove

A freaking floating hand the size of a hippo with teeth ???

Glove could have killed everybody and crushed the Yellow Submarine in the first 5 minutes of the picture

Look at those dead eyes. Still gives me the creeps.

Sorry; I don't make it to the movies as often as I used to. Who is that double-chinned slob? Is that Jonah Hill?

That's Francis from Peewee's Big Adventure from 1985

The most threatening ever IMO was Heath Ledger's Joker.

Second is Louise Fletcher's Nurse Ratched.

Um... General Zod. I mean, given when Superman II came out, and you realized that not only did he have the same powers as Superman, that he was an unflinching maniac with Ursa and Non at his side. And then Superman becomes mortal? My 9 year old brain couldn't see a way out.

Kneel.

^This. Zod was a chilling villain to me: When he corrected the President, I knew what he meant and would implement it.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Stamp's Zod is one of the screen's greatest villains. Often just bemused, but occasionally enraged, he is never anything less than commanding. And Ursa is actually scarier than he is, delighting in torturing and killing men just for pleasure, and taking trophies to mark each conquest!

Actually the scariest super powered character I’ve ever seen is Homelander of The Boys. Thanos, Zod, Ledger Joker, etc...nothing compares to this super powerful sadistic twisted blood thirsty extreme violent character.

He’s basically Zod (same powers) but amped up 10 times more in the holy shiat department, lol...

I hate to sound like a commercial for The Boys...but if you check it out, you’ll agree with me...trust me, lol...
