10 Most Twisted Comic Book Heroes

And you thought Batman struck fear into the hearts of Gotham's criminals.

Often considered as one of the forgotten gems of the DC Universe, Simon Dark was unlike anything the city had ever seen before. He's some mysterious entity that seemingly came out of nowhere to fight the supernatural forces that threatened "The Village." Not many have seen his disturbingly twisted face, but they know he's out there lurking.

"Lurks in shadows, hides in the park.

Simon. Simon.

Simon Dark.

If you're good, he'll stay away

If you're bad, he'll make you pay

Lurks in shadows. Hides in the park.

Simon. Simon.

Simon Dark."

That's the legend of Simon Dark, a nursery rhythm chanted by those who believe in his existence.

Created by a brilliant but disturbed medical professional who took the body parts of 20 different boys, he was created for only one purpose: stopping the evil cult that created him. As he begins to learn about himself, he learns that he possesses several supernatural abilities. He's able to read minds, change his appearance and even banish evil-doers to another dimension. Isn't that terrifying!

If you threaten the safety of the innocent, he will find you, and he will make you pay.
