10 Worst Villain Lairs In Movie History

4. Latveria (Fantastic Four)

Alright, alright, I'll be the first one to admit that this is a bit of a cheat, given that we don't really see Latveria in either of the recent Fantastic Four films, but it is mentioned a fair few times, and inferences can be made from that. Dr. Doom is yet more proof that supervillains need to scale their plans back a bit because trying to command an entire country without sufficient resources is just asking for trouble. Dr. Doom ends up in a shipping container heading back to Latveria at the end of the first film, and is awakened in the second when the Silver Surfer makes a path around the world that crosses there. Assuming that the Fantastic Four reboot will again deal with Dr. Doom, Josh Tank surely has to actually show us Latveria in proper detail. The comic mythology is rich, though demonstrates frequently that it's a terrible base of operations. First and foremost, Doom can't keep control of it because he's not just dealing with a John Matrix or a Guile, he's dealing with four freaking superheroes who make it their duty to swing by and kick his ass routinely. Also, his reigns of terror around the world tend to keep him out of the country a lot, so basically, he's just grossly negligent and gets bored quickly. It's a case of a villain's erratic personality making their ambitious home uninhabitable.
