10 Comic Book Supervillains Who Created Their Own Worst Enemy

10. The Pride And The Runaways

The Runaways made their debut in the pages of Marvel Comics a little close to two decades ago now, which is a frankly ridiculous thing to write down. Like time, come on - please chill. The Runaways is not allowed to be nearly 20 years old. It just isn't.

Regardless of however old Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona's comic is now though, it remains one of the best examples of supervillains inspiring their own worst enemies - in this case their own children.

The Runaways are so-called because they band together after discovering that literally all their parents are part of a group known as The Pride, a sinister cabal of supervillains comprised of aliens, magicians and other generic evil-doers.

Rather than follow in their folks' footsteps though, the kids decide to take a different approach, utilising their inherited gifts to thwart The Pride and the other villains who emerge in its wake.
