10 Most Underrated Superhero Movie Villains, Ranked

Sometimes, movies get away with lacking villains, particularly if they’re able to find more abstract things to drive conflict. Alternatively, slice-of-life movies might well be defined by a lack of conflict in the traditional sense, aiming to capture something more relaxed or grounded. Superhero movies, however, tend to have physical conflict driving the stories being told, and as such, they more often than not need a good villain or two to be engaging.

9 Frank D’Amico 'Kick-Ass' Super wasn’t the only violent and comedic superhero/vigilante movie of 2010, because that year also saw the release of the somewhat more palatable Kick-Ass. It had a real attitude and vibrancy to it, being stylish, fast-paced, and blessed by some very memorable side characters, including Chloë Grace Moretz’s Hit Girl and Nicolas Cage’s Big Daddy. As such, the lead villain, Frank D’Amico, got a little overshadowed.

7 Eli Damaskinos 'Blade II' Shortly before making a pair of movies about a certain Boy who is Hellish, Guillermo del Toro showed he truly understood how to make a superhero movie work when he helmed Blade II. It improved the already solid Blade in many ways, being a little more consistent, pushing the fantasy/horror side of things further, and having del Toro’s signature style and attention to detail present in its best moments.

5 Ma-Ma 'Dredd' Though it was narratively similar to the excellent 2011 martial arts movie The Raid, Dredd nevertheless had enough going for it to stand out, and feels like one of the most underrated superhero movies of its decade. Given the entire film is known for being under-appreciated, it follows that the lead villain – who’s rather ridiculously known as “Ma-Ma” – is also an underrated one.
