Comics Top Killer

This thread is a bit of a change of pace (and likely uncharacteristically morbid on my part).

Which character has the top body count (i.e., number of kills actually shown, not simply stated, on panel) in their career?

Also, who has the best, most graphic, most brutal on panel kill?

[Please respond with nominations, explanations, and scans of the kills]

Discuss.

I assume you aren't looking for characters like Galactus to be mentioned?

Kang has killed countless in the many wars he has waged.

Kid Miracleman was quite a graphic killer.

Correct.

Malicious intent is a requisite.

Think more along the lines of Hank Henshaw blowing up Coast City. Things in that vein.

Galactus or Anti-Monitor type instances aren't what I'm looking for.

If malicious intent is required then Kang wouldn't count.

Marquis of Death?

Black adam?
Superboy prime?

No Thanos? For shame.

Thanos is right up there

Without going into the cosmic beings or gods who have wiped out solar systems, the top killers (who've directly killed, not ordered murders) would be The Joker, Wolverine, Bullseye, Elektra, The Punisher, Typhoid Mary, Apocalypse, Romulus, Deadpool, Sabretooth, Nuke, Nitro, and Kingpin.

I'm not that big a DC fan so most of those were Marvel characters but each of those characters has personally killed at least 1,000 people.

In terms of the most graphically horrific murders, it's a three way tie between Joker, Bullseye, and Sabretooth. They kill with sick creativity and they kill children.

Ultron wiped out a country.

It should't count cause they didn't stay dead. [/B]

Just because they were resurrected doesn't change the fact that he killed them.

King Hyperion killed his universe, right?

It's not that. It's that the Anti-Monitor is to high end. In COIE he consumed numerous inhabited universes into himself via the anti matter wave. That's not what I'm looking for.

I am looking for which character has the most murders, and most brutal murders, on panel, with scans.

I guess to help narrow things down, character must be <Thanos. Using characters like Anti-Monitor or Galactus defeats the purpose of the thread.

Even without IG and HOTU feats thanos is still up there.

And I gotta give the most brutal kill(at least from what i've seen)to either sentry from seige or ripping out souls from DONG(no spoilers I haven't finished it).

More than that, in Annihilation he killed billions of Kree.

Annihilus killed TONS of ppl during the Annihilation War, wiping out most of the Skrulls.

Personally, I like the concept of Mr. Zsasz.
His kills are very graphic in nature.
