Darth Vader's 10 Most Impressive Kills In Marvel Comics

10. Darth Vader's Best Marvel Kills - The Ender

Starting at the end(er), the first entry on our list takes a look at the time Darth Vader butchered an honest-to-goodness kaiju.

This battle occured in Dark Visions #1, the first of a five-issue miniseries dedicated to the exploits of Palpatine's apprentice. The series definitely had its moments (we have a soft spot issue #3, which focused on the one and only woman in the galaxy who found Darth Vader sexy), but it arguably peaked in its opening act. After all, it's hard to top the image of Vader fearlessly leaping into battle against the skyscraper-sized lovechild of Jaws and Godzilla.

As that image implies, Vader's battle against The Ender is a summer blockbuster in comic book form. From gouging out the Ender's eye with his lightsaber, to charging into battle on a demonic wildebeest that looks like it came straight out of DOOM, Vader looks every bit the action hero. Hell, he even finds time to save a child's life during the tussle! (Granted, Vader only force-pushes the boy out of harm's way because he's inadvertently blocking Vader's path, but still! Bonus hero points for the Dark Lord).

Vader vs. The Ender is sheer popcorn-movie perfection - a five-minute adrenaline rush that cements Vader's place as the galaxy's apex predator and leaves the reader grinning from ear to ear.
