Ranking The X-Men Movie Villains - From Worst To Best

8. Silver Samurai

Wolverine€™s second solo outing, The Wolverine, should have been a brilliant ride; after the series hadreturned to form in the previous film X-Men: First Class, this promised to be everything that X-Men Origins wasn€™t. Sadly, while it wasn€™t as much of a mess as that film, it didn€™t reach the heights that we hoped and was all-round pretty forgettable. Equally forgettable was the film€™s main villain; a robotic suit of armour known as the Silver Samurai. On paper it's a great idea (indeed, the character is a popular one from the comics) - a whole suit of adamantium seems like the perfect adversary for Wolverine and his claws. The villain revealed to be inside it €“ Japanese businessman, Yashida €“ also has potential, with a particularly interesting backstory; he was once saved by Logan in Nagasaki, but now envies his immortality. However, in execution, it doesn't really come together and the end result is a sadly flavourless villain.
