10 Weirdest Fantastic Four Villains Of All Time

10. The Red Ghost

After being saturated in cosmic radiation, a Russian scientist called Ivan Kragoff gained the power of intangibility. After mastering the ability to pass through solid matter, the Soviet madman became the supervillain, The Red Ghost.

At first, this guy seems like a pretty intimidating supervillain. It doesn't matter how strong the Thing is or how smart Reed Richards is; how do you fight someone you can't touch?

But what makes the Red Ghost lose all menace is that he always battles the Fantastic Four with his troupe of Super-Apes. In his debut, he fought the superheroes with his simian army on the Moon. Just to make it more ridiculous, his apes can shape-shift and control metal.

The annoying thing is the Red Ghost has the potential to be a great villain since you can't defeat him with brute force. You can only beat him by being smart. But it's impossible to take him seriously since he's always surrounded by a horde of baboons and orang-utans. It would be like if Darth Vader was constantly followed by a parrot. It just ruins any potential menace.
