10 Deadliest Supervillain Teams

1. The Black Lantern Corps

The Cabal
DC Comics

When a supervillain team is comprised only of dead beings, all revived in order to follow the orders of a Lord of the Unliving who desires only that every being die, you know you're in for kind of a wild ride.

And the Black Lantern Corps - led by Nekron, who is unkillable and a ruler of one of DC's various afterlives - are nothing if not a wild ride. Terrifying in their every encounter, the team also get some extra awful bonus points in that reviving dead characters for the army generally brings back a lot of heroes' loved ones, which is naturally incredibly traumatic when said good guy is confronted by his rotting friend or romantic partner.

Without the interference of the equally powerful life-orientated White Lanterns, the universe would have been neatly wiped out by Nekron and his zombie party with seemingly very little effort, safely placing the Black Lantern Corps amongst the annuls of "supervillain teams you would least want to meet".
