10 Villains That Should Be In Justice League (And Who Should Play Them)
10. Maxwell Lord
Lord, much like Lex Luthor, was a businessman who massively distrusted superheroes in general, thinking them risks to the safety of the planet. He ended up creating an army of cyborgs called OMACs which took on the worlds heroes during the Infinite Crisis, having the means to make them thanks to hijacking a satellite belonging to paranoid-era Batman. Whilst Lords motives and methods would probably seem a little too similar to Ultrons in the Avengers sequel, he still makes for a compelling character in regards to the lengths he forces our heroes to go to beat him, considering he never ceases his mission and has the ability to possess even Superman. His use of Batmans Brother Eye also throws an interesting spanner in the works between the heroes, showing how little the Dark Knight trusts them (considering he built a satellite to spy on his bros) and making for interesting drama - but they don't necessarily require Lord in the film to achieve that, just the OMACs. Who Should Play Him? Timothy Olyphant (FXs Justified) could definitely bring the right mix of smarm, intelligence and menace to the role, making for a charming, captivating villain.
