12 Marvel characters ranked from bad to pure evil

4. Apocalypse

The father of all mutants was bound to make the list. Forget power-hungry megalomaniacs. Apocalypse aspires to more than rule a nation. This dude craves complete world domination and won’t let death and destruction stand in his way. He’s like the mad scientist of chaos, cooking up a recipe for disaster!

Apocalypse doesn’t settle for twirling his mustache and cackling in the corner. The dude has problems. He revels in twisting the minds of innocent mutants, turning them into his playthings. He’s got a knack for brainwashing and manipulation that would make the most conniving cult leader green with envy. Heroes become pawns, and the Four Horsemen come to life. Talk about a job with terrible benefits!

Apocalypse doesn’t stop at wreaking havoc in the present. He has a history of stirring up trouble throughout time, leaving destruction in his wake. From ancient civilizations to modern conflicts, Apocalypse has had his grubby hands in every major catastrophe. He’s like the evil conductor of chaos, orchestrating misery and suffering. Give him a baton, and he’d make Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony sound like a nursery rhyme.
