Since the inclusion of Justice League in the DC narrative from way back in 1960, we have witnessed the rise of several villainous characters. And since their implication into the DC narrative, we have observed the Justice League take on some of these villains and defeated them. These villains have been known to make trouble for the Justice League on numerous occasions, with a new distinct plan every time they resurface or reappear. We will be discussing the top 10 trouble makers, who have always been on Justice League’s watch for being the most troublesome and menacing character of all time.
Doomsday
Probably the only character in the DC narrative, who was able to kill Superman or at least slow the Kryptonian’s heart rate down to a crawl. The monster according to the comics is the reincarnated version of a demon monster genetically engineered from the depths of Krypton. With feelings of only hate and destruction.
Deathstroke
The arch-nemesis of Batman and Dick Grayson, Slade Joseph Wilson aka Deathstroke is the guy bad guys call when they want something to be taken care of. Slade is a master assassin trained in all possible combat styles and warfare treatments. On several occasions, Slade has proven to be quite a handful even for the Justice League.
Bane
The disbanded member of the League of Shadows is the most ruthless character there ever was. Bane has been credited with brute strength and intelligence and has even been known to break Batman’s back in one particular issue. Bane from early life was thrown into the prison where he read many books and worked on his physical stature by working out in the prison’s gym. Bane has quite often been known to cross paths with Batman and the Justice League, he still managed to survive to see another day.
Sinestro
Hal Jordan’s tutor and once the leader of the Green Lantern Corps was the most fearless warrior, after Abin Sur. But Thaal Sinestro was always a bad guy right from obtaining the green lantern ring to an attempt to supersede the guardians for which he was dishonorably discharged. It was after his removal from the green lantern corps that he took up the mantle of Sinestro and formed the Sinestro Corps, whose source of power was fear which he used against the Justice League several times.
Lex Luthor
The oldest, meanest, and the wealthiest arch-nemesis of Superman, Lex Luthor had always fathomed the idea of surpassing the man of steel. His obsession with Kal-El made him go to extreme lengths to find ways of defeating the man of steel, to extract his DNA sample for cloning purposes. On numerous occasions, he did manage to succeed, but his progress was not long-lived.
Crime Syndicate of America
The Crime Syndicate of America is a villainous group of Superheroes, with similar traits to that of the Justice League.
