People often say that a hero is only as good as their villain. So, in honor of sports rolling into the Scream edition of our beloved publication, I’ve decided to create a lineup of maybe not the best villains of all time, but the ones that would be unstoppable together.
I created my lineup on some fundamental principles. The following team is based on a well-rounded combination of smarts, strength, agility, superhuman abilities and downright spookiness. I proudly present my villain lineup.
Tai Lung – “Kung Fu Panda”
Everybody forgets that Tai Lung was the real Dragon Warrior. His climbing and leaping abilities, Kung-Fu prowess and brute strength put him at the top of my lineup. If it weren’t for the Wuxi Finger Hold (which was total BS), Tai Lung would have been the greatest warrior in all of animated China.
Mola Ram – “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”
No lineup would be complete without a villain who can literally rip people’s hearts out. I had nightmares for days after watching the Thugee leader sacrifice poor souls into a burning pit of fire. His ritualistic ceremonies add the power of the supernatural to our lineup, and who wouldn’t want to have that on their side.
Jaws – “The Spy Who Loved Me “
I’m not talking about the shark. I’m talking about that creepy iron teeth villain from the 1977 edition of James Bond. Jaws’ iron teeth and ability to bite through anything gives this lineup the weird, totally freaky figure it needs. He’s a mix of Frankenstein, Ivan Drago and the guy with the nail in his head from “Happy Gilmore.”
Bane – “The Dark Knight Rises”
No one cared who he was until he put on the mask. Bane is the brawn of the operation, considering we have an unlimited amount of Venom. His assassin skills and super strength made him one of Batman’s most intelligent and physically dominating foes. He was molded by the darkness. He is the necessary evil to overpower any potential foe.
Lex Luthor – “Superman”
Luthor is the brains behind this lineup. He’s got it all. He’s a business mogul. He’s one of the smartest individuals in the world. He’s the man that pulls all the strings while the others do the dirty work. Without him, every diabolical plan for this team falls apart.
