In a different reality, we find Lady Deadpool, an alter ego of Deadpool known as the Merc with a Mouth. Her first appearance was in issue #7 of ‘Deadpool: merc with a Mouth’, titled “Are you there, Deadpool? It’s me, Deadpool.” This unique version of Deadpool hailing from Earth 3010 was conceptualized by creators Rob Liefeld and Victor Gischler among the various Deadpool counterparts encountered during his inter-universe escapades.
The character known as Lady Deadpool isn’t typically heroic, but if the compensation is satisfactory, she’ll engage in fights for a variety of reasons. For instance, when she joined a band of rebels, it was all about the promise of a tasty pie. Lady Deadpool has been making appearances across various forms of media beyond comics, with her recent debut in Deadpool and Wolverine.

Marvel Mystery Comics #10 | Jack Kirby, Joe Simon | 1940 |
In the vast Marvel Comics world, Death holds immense power and is often linked to some of the universe’s most devastating events since its inception. As an embodiment of the ultimate end, she usually dwells in the obscurity of Marvel Comics, appearing only to a select few.
As a die-hard film fan, I can’t help but notice the intriguing dynamics between two iconic characters – Deadpool and Thanos. Death seems to have a soft spot for the Merc with a Mouth, longing for a relationship that’s eternally out of reach due to his immortality. On the flip side, the Mad Titan, Thanos, is enthralled by Death herself, using his quest for the Infinity Gauntlet as a means to win her favor.

Scream is the result of Venom’s symbiote offspring emerging from their host. Born simultaneously with numerous other symbiotes, she annihilated them. Scream proved to be a lethal enemy for both Spider-Man and Venom, sharing their same power and agility.
Because Scream has an unstable nature when it comes to relating with others, she exhibits a harsh and malicious character, which poses a danger to anyone who encounters her.

Despite her attempts to distance herself from her ancestry, she instead found herself entangled in a world of criminal activities, eventually rising through the ranks to become a prominent figure in the crime-ridden superpowered mafia. Known as Madam Masque, she has orchestrated numerous schemes that have left Earth’s strongest heroes reeling.

X-Men #129 | Chris Claremont, John Byrne | 1979 |
Emma Frost, a long-established and highly favored character within the X-Men universe, has been captivating readers since she first appeared in the eighties. Known for her mental prowess, often likened to that of Charles Xavier, Emma Frost also possesses an extraordinary ability to transform her body into solid diamond.
Regarding loyalty, Emma Frost excels at playing her cards skillfully and frequently changes teams. Originally serving as the White Queen in the Hellfire Club, she subsequently allied herself with the X-Men, where she forged a strong bond with Scott Summers, the leader of the X-Men, following Jean Gray’s demise.
12. Lady Bullseye

Daredevil #111 | Ed Brubaker, Clay Mann | 2008 |
Lady Bullseye’s background isn’t as comprehensive as that of her male counterpart, yet she shares strong ties with the Hand and Elektra the assassin. Prior to her freedom, Lady Bullseye was held captive by a yakuza human trafficking syndicate. Her liberation occurred when the criminal known as Bullseye killed all the guards and mysteriously vanished from the scene.
Moved by the destruction wrought by Bullseye, Lady Bullseye realized that if she wished to remain independent, she would need to resort to violence. Swiftly, her actions attracted the attention of the Hand’s leader, and she was inducted as a full member, adopting her current alias in the process. Let’s hope she makes an appearance in the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again series.

Wanda Maximoff, also known as Scarlet Witch, possesses a complex past, initially joining the Brotherhood and serving her father, Magneto. However, it’s essential to note that she’s never been fond of combat or creating turmoil. Regrettably, her powers, which make her one of Earth’s most formidable mutants, are deeply rooted in conflict and chaos.
Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch, has an extraordinary ability to alter realities according to her wishes. Due to her mental instability, she frequently causes disastrous events, much like Charles Xavier’s son, Legion. However, she doesn’t view herself as a villain. Instead, she is widely feared and despised in the Marvel Universe. When she fully embraces her powers, she becomes nearly impossible to defeat. On various instances, it required both the Avengers and the X-Men to bring down the “Queen of Chaos.
10. Moonstone
Founding Member Of The Thunderboltz
First Appearance Issue | Original Creators | Date |
---|---|---|
Captain America #192 | Marv Wolfman, Frank Robbins | 1975 |
In the Marvel universe, Moonstone’s history is nothing if not intriguing. Initially portrayed as a therapist with a touch of self-centeredness, she subsequently aligned herself with criminal masterminds such as Dr. Faustus. This association led her to forsake her original path and transform into a supervillain. Her unique abilities were acquired through deceit and manipulation upon seizing a magical gemstone.
Equipped with multiple formidable skills such as flying, controlling gravity, and manipulating energy, Moonstone rose to prominence among Marvel’s female antagonists. Since then, she has caused chaos throughout the Marvel Comics universe, serving various roles including a founding member of the Thunderbolts, a past member of the Masters of Evil, and briefly standing in for Ms. Marvel as part of Norman Osborn’s Dark Avengers.

First Appearance Issue | Original Creators | Date |
---|---|---|
Daredevil #197 | Dennis O’Neil, William Johnson | 1983 |
Yuniko Oyama holds a special place in the heart of James Howlet (a.k.a Wolverine), as they were once deeply in love. Moreover, she is the child of Kenji Oyama, the man who developed the method for bonding adamantium to bone. Sadly, Kenji’s criminal endeavors resulted in his demise, causing Yuniko to embark on a tumultuous journey marked by violence and vengeance.
As a devoted cinema enthusiast, I can’t help but delve into the intriguing dynamics between Wolverine and Yuniko. Ever since she held him accountable for her father’s demise and capitalized on his research by acquiring an adamantium skeleton, she has been a persistent adversary. The transformation that Yuniko underwent, turning her into a cyborg, significantly boosted her combat abilities. This alteration also equipped her with deadly adamantium claws, making her a formidable foe for any hero to face.

Once Queen Of The Shi’Ar Empire

Deathbird, a royal figure hailing from the Shi’ar race, was fated to carry out horrendous deeds, and has indeed done so throughout her life. From an early age, Deathbird harbored a strong desire for power, and, in her quest to seize control of the Shi’ar Empire, she committed cold-blooded murder – first striking down her sister and then her mother, in a ruthless coup d’état.
Deathbird is a merciless strategist who values only strength and dominance, acknowledging no rival until encountering Vulcan, the long-lost sibling of Alex and Scott Summers. Prior to her encounters with him, she had initiated two civil wars to secure the Shi’ar throne and even fled to Earth, becoming a significant menace to both the X-Men and Captain Marvel.

Most Powerful Sorceress In Asgard

---|---|---|
Journey Into Mystery #103 | Stan Lee, Jack Kirby | 1964 |
Amora, also known as the Enchantress, poses a questionable threat within the realm of Asgard. She’s managed to confuse some of the strongest warriors, such as Odin, Loki, Thor, and even the mighty Hulk. Originally, she was a student under Kamilla, Balder’s mother, but due to her combative personality, she was exiled.
Despite training independently, the Enchantress developed immense powers and often caused chaos in Asgard out of resentment, making her an ongoing menace that can’t be eliminated due to her strategic mind and overwhelming magical prowess. Although Thor is attracted to her, she has repeatedly come close to slaying the God of Thunder.
6. Titania
Main Rival Of She-Hulk

Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #3 | Jim Shooter, Mike Zeck | 1984 |
Mary McPhreran went from being an insignificant person to someone with extraordinary abilities when Doctor Doom bestowed superpowers upon her. Throughout much of her existence, she was subjected to ridicule and mistreatment due to her delicate health and diminutive stature, which took a heavy toll on her emotionally and transformed her into a cynical personality. At some point, she reached the breaking point.
In the midst of the Beyonder’s staged conflict between Earth’s strongest heroes and villains, Mary and her companion Marsha found themselves face-to-face with Doctor Doom. Desperate to save their lives, they agreed to join Doctor Doom’s forces, which led to Mary transforming into Titania.
5. Nebula
Daughter Of Thanos, Former Wielder Of The Infinity Gauntlet
First Appearance Issue | Original Creators | Date |
---|---|---|
Avengers #257 | Roger Stern, John Buscema | 1985 |
In Marvel Comics, Nebula has a rich history that spans many years, but it’s her appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Guardians of the Galaxy films that have sparked renewed interest. Although the Nebula from the MCU and the one from comic books share many similarities, their narratives exhibit significant differences.
In the comic books, Nebula initially portrayed herself as Thanos’ granddaughter, though they were unrelated. Rebelling against the mad titan, Thanos transformed her into a grotesque half-corpse using the power of the Infinity Gauntlet, spurring her desire for revenge. Cunning and resourceful, Nebula managed to deceive Thanos and seize the Infinity Gauntlet from him. With a single snap, she reversed all his destructive actions.
4. Hela
Ruler Of Hel, Daughter Of Loki
First Appearance Issue | Original Creators | Date |
---|---|---|
Journey Into Mystery #102 | Stan Lee, Jack Kirby | 1964 |
Among the mighty entities dwelling in Asgard, figures such as Odin the Allfather and Thor, the deity of thunder, hold great power. However, none are as revered and terror-inspiring as Hela. Originally, Hela was born to Loki, the trickster god, and a frost giantess named Angrboda.
In the realm of cinematic critique, I must say that Hela, portrayed as a divine antagonist, wields dominion over Hel and Niffleheim. This goddess, known as Hela, poses a persistent threat to Asgard, constantly yearning for more power and territorial expansion – even aspiring to conquer Valhalla and assert supremacy over life and death itself. In her relentless pursuit, she has made numerous attempts to eliminate Thor, and remarkably, she’s faced Odin on par in their battles.
3. Dark Phoenix
Most Powerful Force In The Universe
First Appearance Issue | Original Creators | Date |
---|---|---|
X-Men #101 | Chris Claremont, Dave Cockrum | 1976 |
As a devoted cinephile, I can’t help but share my excitement about the intriguing character known as Dark Phoenix. This isn’t just any ordinary entity; it’s The Phoenix, a cosmic power, merging with Jean Grey – one of Earth’s most potent psychic mutants. Their fusion creates an unstoppable force in our universe, capable of reducing everything to embers through raw, malevolent intent.
Under the influence of the Phoenix energy, Jean’s psychic abilities are dramatically amplified, granting her new capabilities like flying, out-of-body experience, and manipulating matter at a molecular level. Defeating the Dark Phoenix demands the collaboration of teams like the Avengers and X-Men. However, it’s important to note that she is never truly destroyed, only temporarily defeated.
2. Mystique
One Of The Deadliest Mutants In The World
First Appearance Issue | Original Creators | Date |
---|---|---|
Ms. Marvel #16 | Chris Claremont, Jim Mooney | 1978 |
Ever since her debut in Ms. Marvel #16 back in 1978, Mystique has been causing turmoil across the entire Marvel universe. This iconic character was brought to life by Chris Claremont, Jim Mooney, and Dave Cockrum. Over time, she has established herself as one of the most well-known villains within the Marvel realm. Initially appearing as a servant to Magneto, within the Brotherhood of Mutants, Mystique is known for her shape-shifting abilities, which she uses to sow discord and chaos.
Mystique boasts a rich, enigmatic past, with many questioning her age, but she’s speculated to be around the same vintage as Wolverine and Sabertooth. This chameleon-like character is a master of deception and strategic planning, often controlling situations to her advantage. In most cases, Mystique maintains control, even when confronting mighty rulers like Apocalypse.
1. Madam Hydra
Former Leader Of Hydra

Madam Hydra, more commonly known as Viper, is one of the most formidable and impactful female antagonists in the Marvel Comics universe. Once leading the organization Hydra, she’s faced off against numerous Hero teams on multiple occasions, but remarkably, has managed to survive each encounter.
In the aftermath of her parents’ demise, Viper was drawn into Hydra at a young age. Her abilities shone brightly, propelling her swiftly to a position of influence, making her a formidable adversary for S.H.I.E.L.D and the Avengers due to her intelligence, ruthlessness, and strategic skills. Viper has a significant past with Captain America and Spider-Woman, and was once married to Wolverine.
