Brainiac

Brainiac is a fictional supervillain that appears in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character first appeared in Action Comics #242, and was created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino.
An extraterrestrial android, Brainiac is a principal foe of Superman, and is responsible for shrinking and stealing Kandor, the capital city of Superman's home planet Krypton. Due to multiple revisions of DC's continuity, several variations of Brainiac have appeared. Most incarnations of Brainiac depict him as a green-skinned being in humanoid form. He is bald, except for a set of diodes protruding from his skull.
The character is the origin of the informal word which means "genius". The name itself is a portmanteau of the words brain and maniac, with influence from ENIAC, the name of an early computer. In 2009, Brainiac was ranked as IGN's 17th Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time.

Some <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-female-comic-book-characters/ranker-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book characters</a> are just impossible to adapt. Whether it be <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/worst-marvel-costume-adaptations/ranker-comics" target="_blank">a tricky costume</a>, an unwieldy power set, or an ambitious&nbsp;character design, some comic book denizens are meant to stay confined to the panels they were drawn inside and away from live-action screens.&nbsp;

Superheroes like Ghost Rider, Green Lantern, and the Thing have proven quite hard to adapt by a number of filmmakers. Others, like Mojo, Plastic Man, and M.O.D.O.K., were seemingly designed to disappoint if they ever receive a live-action adaptation. No matter the reason why, it&#39;s&nbsp;clear some comic book characters should stay housed in the medium that birthed them.

Certain <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/superheroes-ranked-by-most-comic-book-appearances/ranker-comics?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book characters</a> definitely lend themselves to film better than others.

Sometimes it&#39;s their costume, or their power-set being cinematically dynamic (how Hydroman made this list), or how necessary they are to the universe, or even to a specific storyline. Many <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/biggest-superheroes-villains-not-in-live-action-movies-tv/stephanroget" target="_blank">heroes and villains</a> out there deserve their turn in the limelight. With Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel showed no character is too obscure to delight fans, and with Captain America: <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/winter-soldier-trivia/jacob-shelton?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">The Winter Soldier</a>&nbsp;and The Dark Knight they proved that you really can have multiple villains work in a single film... unlike the disasters that are&nbsp;Spider-Man 3 and Batman &amp; Robin.

From fan favorites (Carnage!) to how-do-they-not-have-a-movie-yet?! (Ms. Marvel, and yes we know it&#39;s eventually coming but it&#39;s not here yet), these are the comic characters we should see in movies. We also added characters that need to be redone in the comic book film industry (Green Lantern... among others).

In the world of comics, a character&#39;s &quot;unintentional&quot; death or severe injury is rarely seen, partly because it doesn&#39;t make sense to kill off or hurt the title character of a series and partly because death is used as a last resort reboot option when sales start to drop. Naturally, our favorite heroes and villains have developed fun traits such as <a href="/list/deadpool-vs-wolverine-healing-factor/stephanroget" target="_blank">regenerative healing</a> or straight-up invulnerability to most things that might come their way, save one or two special weaknesses.

When it comes to comic book super powers, brains are every bit as handy as brawn &mdash; but props to those who have both. From cosmic powers of superhuman intelligence, to good old fashioned book smarts, there are plenty of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-superheroes-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book characters</a> that prove the powers of the mind can be just as effective as any other super power.&nbsp;

There are always the old fallbacks like our good pals Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark, but Ironman and the &ldquo;World&rsquo;s Greatest Detective&rdquo; himself are far from the best of the best when it comes to super smarts. From near god-like obscurities like the High Evolutionary to the more forgettable guys like Calculator, genius intellects for both heroes and villains alike create some of the most clever story lines in all of comic history. There are even some characters you might never have known to possess super smarts all along; you can&rsquo;t really blame someone on the fringes of comic book culture if they didn&rsquo;t realize that the hulking ape beast, Gorilla Grodd, is actually a genius advanced weapons manufacturer.&nbsp; 
&nbsp;

&nbsp;

So just who are the smartest&nbsp;of the comic book characters? The classics or the obscurities, the mighty or the meek? Well, good people, that is up to you.&nbsp;Be sure to cast your votes for your picks&nbsp;on this list of the smartest comic book characters of all time to see if you can&rsquo;t tip the scales in favor of your favorite geniuses, and as always, feel free to leave a comment below if you think a deserving intellectual is missing.&nbsp;

While both Warner Bros. and Disney are in a hurry to bring all of the major DC and Marvel superheroes to the big screen, there are still plenty&nbsp;superheroes who don't have a movie. In fact, some of the most popular <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-powerful-comic-book-characters-ranked/ranker-comics" target="_blank">comic book characters</a> still haven't had their own&nbsp;movie—and bringing in some of these characters would make for a few dream comic book films.&nbsp;Fans of both comic books and such films alike can all agree some characters simply deserve their own film. It could work wonders for the franchises as well, as some of the comic characters not in movies yet would help diversify the line-up of big screen men and women in tights. Characters like Miles Morales, Jaime Reyes, Kamala Khan would bring fresh perspectives to both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-dceu-movies/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">DC Extended Universe</a>.&nbsp;Below, you'll find 20 comic book characters who should get movies, ready to be ranked by the true fans.

Red eyes in real life might be cause for alarm, but in the&nbsp;world of comic books, characters have red eyes all of the time, and they don&#39;t seem worried in the slightest. Comic book creators have a lot of freedom, and red eyes are an easy way to reveal insight into a character&#39;s personality. With red eyes, it typically means the character is evil, like in the case of Mr. Sinister, Omega Red, and Lobo (though characters like Gambit and Martian Manhunter would prove otherwise). Check out these villains and superheroes who have sported red eyes at some point over the years. Who do you think rocks the look best?&nbsp;

Some of the most dangerous and evil villains in comic book history have been drawn with red eyes. A great example of this is Steppenwolf from DC. His glowing red eyes are often drawn to indicate a sinister motive. From Marvel, we see some heroes with red eyes. It may not technically be his eye, but Cyclops is best known for the red visor he uses to shoot laser beams, so we&#39;ve included him here, too.&nbsp;

Darkness can't exist without light, similarly to how good can't exist without evil. For every superhero, there needs to be a&nbsp;supervillain to challenge them.

“Chaotic evil (CE) creatures act with arbitrary violence, spurred by their greed, hatred, or bloodlust.” - Dungeons and Dragons Basic Rules 5th Ed.We all know that in pop culture, our antagonists can be relied upon to think evil thoughts, say evil words, and do evil things, all for evil reasons. In the world of conventional storytelling, it’s safe to say that needing something, or more commonly someone, for the protagonists to pit themselves against, is of utmost importance-&nbsp;making “good bad guys” are essential.Poorly executed bad guys can ruin a story, and completely derail the lead and their struggle, creating a hot mess of a forgettable tale. In the world of Role Playing Games (RPGs), and Dungeons and Dragons in particular, chaotic evil player characters are frowned upon, or even banned from play completely because of the disruption and discord they bring to the table. In reality, when played properly, chaotic evil characters can bring a reality and random element to a campaign that’s hard to find otherwise.They do the same in modern comics, TV and movies. The truth is that chaotic evil characters can be great fun, as&nbsp;they are often far more interesting and complex than the protagonist. These are the&nbsp;top fifteen characters you never realized are chaotic evil.
