15 Greatest Justice League Villains Of All Time

The Justice League has some of the best villains in comics, but which of them is the greatest?

By Josh Wilding /

There's a big difference between the Justice League and superhero teams like The Avengers and X-Men. While Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Marvel's Merry Mutants are certainly very powerful and have their fair share of great villains, the Justice League are Godlike in comparison, hence why the majority of their foes would wipe out those other teams with very little effort!

With so much power between them then, the League needs to bad guys who are actually able to push them to the brink of defeat, and that's something which has happened many times since they first came together in 1960. In the decades which followed, they've squared off against aliens, robots, and even themselves, and it's fair to say that they have one of the best rogues galleries in comics.

As Zack Snyder looks to bring this team to the big screen in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and the upcoming two-part Justice League movie, who knows how many of these villains we'll end up seeing in live-action over the next few years (some have already made their debuts on the small screen), but any one of them would make for an incredible choice of foe for this team.

Going back to the comics though, and these really are the very best bad guys in the DC Universe. Some are more well known than others, while the inclusion of at least a few is sure to surprise you, but make no mistake about it, they're ALL great villains...

15. Amazo

As you can see from the description in the image above, Amazo is not someone the Justice League should take lightly. Robots almost always make good villains because it means the heroes don't have to hold back when they're laying into their foe, but Amazo is far too powerful to sit back and take a beating, especially when he quite literally has abilities of the entire Justice League in one body. Now that's power!

While he was initially created with the powers of just the seven core members of the team, Amazo has since advanced to the point where he can imitate the abilities of anyone he meets, making him even more formidable and frightening. Nearly invulnerable, it almost always takes the might of the entire Justice League to put this villain down, and from a physical standpoint alone, he's definitely one of their greatest threats.
