Deathstroke

Deathstroke the Terminator is a fictional supervillain, and sometimes antihero, who appears in comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. He is a mercenary and assassin who first appeared in The New Teen Titans #2. Wizard magazine rated him the 24th greatest villain of all time and the 32nd greatest comic book character of all time. Also, in 2009, Deathstroke was ranked as IGN's 32nd greatest comic book villain of all time.
Originally a villain for the Teen Titans, writers have developed him over the years as an antagonist for the older heroes Batman and Green Arrow as well, establishing parallels between him and Batman and a deep-seated grudge between him and Green Arrow. His role as a villain for Batman and Green Arrow is reflected by his prominence in Batman video games and animated films, and in the Arrow television series.

Bad guys like The Joker, Two-Face, and Hush have been reeking havoc on Batman since the 1940s. Some of his greatest allies have even crossed the line here and there, back and forth, and become worthy foes, like The Red Hood, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/obscure-comic-book-characters-who-returned-2020/stephanroget" target="_blank">Phantasm</a>, and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/actresses-who-played-catwoman/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">Catwoman</a>.

The best TV villains of all time rank among some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-tv-characters-of-all-time">greatest TV characters of all time</a> as well as some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/creepiest-characters-on-television">creepiest TV characters ever</a>. While some TV villains exist to make the lead characters appear more heroic, some of them are just plain old, nasty jerks. Regardless of their motivations, the top TV bad guys make us want to bust into the TV and kick some butt, fictional style.

Many of TV&#39;s greatest greatest villains didn&#39;t start that way; some of these men and women started out as virtuous people who took a skid into the darker ways of the world. Think of Breaking Bad&#39;s Gustavo Fring, a legitimate business man turned meth trafficking d-bag. Or Dexter Morgan who started out killing only bad guys and then went and got tangled up with killing people as a CYA offensive action. Of course, there&#39;s also people like&nbsp;Joffrey Baratheon of Game of Thrones&nbsp;and The Simpsons&#39; C. Montgomery Burns who seem to get off on tormenting people. They are the worst kind of awesome bad guys.

Typically, when people think of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-superheroes-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book characters</a> from Marvel Comics, Image&nbsp;or DC, they don&#39;t picture someone holding a sword so much as they do a person flying about town in a cape and tights. As it happens, there are numerous characters who aren&#39;t just casual users of sabers; they are experts in the art of swordplay. Characters like the Black Knight and many more wield everything from magical swords to the standard fare you can buy in the real world, but regardless of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/marvel-universe-most-powerful-tools/stephanroget" target="_blank">type of blade</a> they carry, they are all equally dangerous.

This list highlights some of the best-trained comic book characters who prefer a more gentlemanly sport of combat than those involving superpowered fists, but not all blade-wielding superheroes&nbsp;can be qualified as the best.

Comic Book Characters

An anti-hero is defined as a leading character in a story who lacks traditional heroic qualities such as idealism, courage, nobility, fortitude, moral goodness, and altruism. Where the classical hero is larger than life, an anti-hero is typically inferior to the reader in ways of intelligence, dynamism, and social purpose. So, in the technical definition of the word, there aren&#39;t really many examples of anti-heroes in comics, or films, for that matter.

Fortunately, the Byronic hero falls under the broad category, and the lesser known term is what we usually mistakenly refer to as an anti-hero. A Byronic hero is defined as a man (or woman) proud, moody, cynical, with defiance in his brow, and misery in his heart, implacable in revenge, and yet capable of deep and strong affection.

This Byronic hero, named after Lord Byron, sounds much more like the &quot;anti-heroes&quot; of today. Enjoy ranking the best anti-heroes (Byronic) in <a href="http://www.ranker.com/tags/comic-books?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag">comic books</a>. Who is the best anti-hero in comics?

Based on DC Comics'&nbsp;Green Arrow, the show follows Oliver Queen, the titular Green Arrow, as he protects his city from dangerous villains.

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).

It&#39;s been said that, given enough time to prepare, Batman <a href="/list/batman-insane-freak-outs-comic-books/jacobybancroft">can beat just about anyone at anything</a>. However, Batman doesn&#39;t always have that much time for planning, meaning there are plenty of times when he&#39;s&nbsp;lost a fight. That&rsquo;s not to say Batman isn&#39;t the smartest, richest, and most careful superhero out there -&nbsp;sometimes he just gets outclassed. Most of the examples of him getting badly beaten usually come down to one thing: he didn&rsquo;t know what he was up against. Maybe he was facing off against a new villain, or the threat was in the shadows, or he simply didn&rsquo;t know enough about a threat, and the lack of information was <a href="/list/worst-things-that-have-happened-to-batman/tyler-mitchell" target="_blank">bad enough for him to lose</a>.

But Batman is no stranger to learning from failure. His entire life is based on the idea that he remade himself after suffering the worst loss a child possibly can. A defeat to him is nothing more than a learning experience, which he uses to come back smarter, stronger, and faster than before. A villain&nbsp;- or sometimes an ally - may get the best Batman once,&nbsp;but it rarely happens twice. Unless, of course, you&rsquo;re the Joker.

Keep reading below to see 14 times when Batman found himself on the losing end of a fight.&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.

Comic book readers have witnessed Batman and the Joker team up - or Daredevil and the Kingpin fighting back-to-back -&nbsp;more than enough times to recognize the temporary villain-turned-hero trope when they see it. Usually, such superpowered shifts of heart are short-lived and plot-driven, but there is a sizable collection of villains who turned good and made it stick - so much so that still calling them supervillains is a misnomer.

<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/evil-superheroes/ranker-comics" target="_blank">Every superhero breaks bad</a> at one point or another and, like clockwork, they eventually return to their altruistic ways. But evil-doers generally have a more compelling reason to cross over to the other side of the moral divide, and that makes it all the more possible for them to fully transition from villain to hero, as a select handful of classic antagonists have already done.&nbsp;

When it comes to killer assassins in the DC Universe, you can't get much better than Deathstroke The Terminator himself.
