The baddest villain in the Marvel Universe according to marvel.com’s Take Ten: Top Villains of 2007
The number 1 baddest villain is The Red Skull you want to know why… It’s simple “He Killed Captain America” and I think for the one who killed the Star Spangled Avenger he definitely deserves the limelight and the number 1 spot as the baddest villain in the Marvel Universe
More on why he kicks Ass!
Aside from ruling the world, most super villains have but one goal: take the hero that eternally vexes them and foils their every scheme out of the picture. You could count on less than one hand the number of bad guys who actually accomplish this task…until now. Because in 2007, the Red Skull did the impossible: he killed Captain America! And while most fright mask-wearing Nazis would settle for offing the symbol of American democracy, the Skull barely shrugged after snuffing out the Sentinel of Liberty, continuing to move forward on plans to follow up his coup de grace with an even bigger encore, the destruction of America itself! Now that’s just evil.
