    Default Who's the most famous Marvel villain?

    We all know who marvel's most recognizable heroe's are: Spiderman, Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine, Cap. But which villains are recognizable to those who aren't comic book readers?

    If I were to make a list of who i think their most famous villains are i would say:
    1. Green Goblin (because of the extremely popu;ar spiderman movies)
    2. Dock Ock (same as no.1)
    3. Dr.Doom (lead villain in company, has apperead in FF movies, been around for years)
    4. Magneto (Xmen have been really popular through out the years cartoons, movies, etc.)
    5. Mystique (Same as Magneto)

    Who do you think Marvels most famous villains are?

    Green Goblin is not in the same league as Dr.Doom and Magneto. I would say more people know Venom than the Green Goblin.

    I must be seeing double, (I have been drinking), isn't there another thread practically identical to this out there?

    But anyway...I'd say it's a toss-up between Doom and the Green Goblin.

    Carnage still owned the 90s. i don't even like the character but he used to be on every book and a part of every toyline.

    I think Dr. Doom is juuuuuust a bit more famous than Magneto.

    Among people who are not comic book fans, there is no way Doom is a big one. Even though hes one of my favorite heroes, very few people know who he is or what his back story is.

    I would say the big villains are going to be Magneto and some Spiderman villains, since those two are the most well known franchises. All of my friends know who Magneto is, and only a few of them know of Dr. Doom.

    Magneto. He's been featured in every media incarnation of X-men ever, and they were Marvel's leading franchise for a long time. After that I'd say Venom/Green Goblin, and Doom? Not so much. He's a great villain, but being tied to the F4 hurts him too much.
