10 Most Terrifying Villains In DC Comics

2. The Corinthian

The Corinthian Sandman
Warner Bros

A literal nightmare who escaped The Dreaming to terrorize the waking world, The Corinthian is a sadistic, murderous "soldier of darkness" who makes Freddy Krueger look like a joke by comparison.

Described by his creator - Dream of The Endless - as "a black mirror made to reflect everything about itself that humanity will not confront," The Corinthian is a legend among serial killers, who tend to look up to him and idolize his iconic and prolific..."artistry" in the field of mutilation and murder.

Not only is The Corinthian a remorseless sadist who tortures and kills people for pleasure, but with a set of toothy mouths where a human's eyes would be, he also brings an unprecedented depth to the Uncanny Valley - which may actually be an Uncanny Canyon in his case.

To make it even worse, every time The Corinthian kills someone, he cuts out their eyes, and eats them using his endlessly-disturbing eye-mouths.

He gives new meaning to the phrase "your worst nightmare."
