The different people all performed different tasks, and DHII wasn't aware that it was a unified effort until very late in his series. It was a massive retcon though, and created a coherence to his entire run. Kinda cool.

Anyway, the guy was a mastermind on a galactic level, and his consciousness was linked between his different bodies, so killing him was really more like killing 1/100 of him.

So obscure (and I wish I could remember his name without digging the comic up) but he'd get my vote.

I assume he's listed under enemies or antagonists? srug

wrong on all counts..... thanos, Ra's , kang, and alex luther were the only "Evil" geniuses that ever got what they ever wanted....meaning thier plan actually worked out.....how many times have we seen Doom concoct the most devious schemes, only to have it all go to shit cuz he's got to stand there and f ****ing monologue about how awesome his plan is..the same thing with the leader and mad thinker.....joker is definitaley the number 1

Doom has won in a huge variety of ways. He's manipulated a contest set up by the Vishanti in order to save his mothers soul from Mephisto. Hell the fact that he's the head of Latervia is a victory is that he wanted for a long time. I believe he even took over the world once and decided he didn't want it.

I actually think Joker is probably the scariest evil genius in comics.

Sym, you mentioned Vandal Savage. How old is he? 52,000ish? I'm having trouble thinking of anyone that's been around as long as him.

Nowadays, I suppose Tony Stark would be on this list..........😖hifty:

No one has mentioned Sinister?

His plans fall to flat for him to be considered up there.

Both the afro and non-afro versions of the Magus were pretty impressive too. Classic Magus was able to set himself up as God in a galaxy spanning church, and IG Magus suckered pretty much everyone but Warlock and Thanos.

I would so like to see Afro Magus again. 😂

The Anti-Moniter.

According to Wiki he is directly responsible for more deaths than any other known DC supervillain (trillions at least) in history.

He's able to effortlessly withstand blows from Superman and even survived a direct explsion with a Star. That's bad-ass..

1) Wiki's hardly great source for comic information
2) That makes him powerful not smart

Supergirl tore his armor to pieces and forced him to flee.
Superman later killed him with one punch.

AM's insanely powerful, but...........the last time he showed up, he had practically no strategy.

And even this time, he's not really using much in terms of prep and planning. srsly It's a testament to his insane power that nothing worked the first time, not his genius.

I think they quoted the direct source (comic) in question. But he's definitely not stupid.

He was a cosmic being or God and pwd universes at will. He was intelligent. And he killed Supergirl personally. And he wasn't killed by Superman. He was punched simultaneously buy a load of superheroes (including Supes) and villains straight into a star.

Imo, i'd want Anti-Moniter on my side if I were to battle an evil genius. If you can defeat an evil genius then you most likely a genius. Unless you get lucky somehow. That wouldn't be the case with A-M. No one evil genius can defeat him.

I think Erica Pierce (Mothergod) from Valiant comics could defeat Anti - Monitor if she had enough prep

That doesn't make him a genius. Was the guy who pressed the button in the EnolaGay a genius? No but he sure kill a hell of a lot of people.

Intelligent =/= Genius

He survived being thrown into the star and was killed by Superman in a single punch.

But that has nothing to do with his genius that's because he's so powerful. There's a huge difference.

Mista Luthor....Fo' sho'

You should really explain ALL the events that took place before this -- otherwise you'll have uninformed people saying, Superman > full-power Multiversal destroyer. jr_erm02
