In the most recent issues of Spider-Man, Marvel Comics is busy destroying the Spider-Verse. Many beloved Spider characters have already fallen, with most becoming mind-controlled monsters and one even killing Spider-Woman. It is so bad that Spider-Man has to team up with one of the most violent villains in Marvel Comics in Morlun.
Marvel is full of villains who mostly commit crimes or attempt to take over and control the world. However, among those villains are those who set out to do nothing but kill and destroy. Many want to kill everyone on Earth, and others set out to destroy other planets and even universes. The scariest Marvel villains are the ones willing to violently burn it all to the ground.
10 Gorr the God Butcher
Fans of the MCU met the Thor villain, Gorr the God Butcher, in Thor: Love & Thunder. However, that villain didn’t hold a candle to the comic book version. While Gorr in the movies found a redemption story at the end, his comics counterpart never deserved or received redemption.
Gorr was ultra-violent, not only killing every god he found but doing so in cruel and brutal ways. He even created variants of his wife and son, only to murder his wife when she called him her god. He was ruthless and even his own son wanted him dead in the end.
9 Abomination
Abomination is a powerful Marvel villain, and he is even stronger than Hulk when both are at their baseline powers. However, Hulk has a rage control issue that allows him to overpower the villain, eventually. And that's not the only big difference between the two.
Abomination lives only to destroy things and there is a pile of dead bodies in his past. He isn’t mindless, either. His violence is from his inherent nature to hurt people, and that makes him not only dangerous but incredibly vicious.
8 Bullseye
Bullseye has no superhuman powers yet, he remains a deadly villain in Marvel Comics who has given countless heroes a headache. He is the most accurate marksman in the Marvel Universe as well, eclipsing even Hawkeye. Bullseye doesn’t miss, and to make it worse, he loves to kill.
He is as deadly as they come and killed another expert assassin in Elektra. He also killed Daredevil’s ex-girlfriend just to prove a point. What makes Bullseye so violent is that there isn’t a person he won’t kill, and he does it with a smile. He's definitely a villain Marvel fans want in Daredevil: Born Again.
7 Jigsaw
Jigsaw is very similar to Bullseye. He is a man who loves to kill and is deadly efficient when it comes to taking out his enemies. As a Punisher villain, he had to be good to give Frank Castle problems. However, Jigsaw is more violent than Bullseye for one key reason.
He doesn’t just love to kill people; he wants to torture them and hurt them before they die. He disfigures his enemies and likes to play with his food before finally finishing them off. The level of violence in a Jigsaw kill is frightening.
6 Red Skull
Red Skull is a human who has been killing people since World War II. Thanks to resurrections and possessions of others, he remains a threat to this day. Since Captain America is a virtuous hero, his main villain needs to be as evil as possible.
The violence that Red Skull masterminds allows him to fit that mold perfectly. He has killed myriad people over the years in gruesome ways, and his body count rivals any villain in the Marvel Universe.
5 Lizard
Lizard is somewhat of a tragic villain, comparable to the Wolf-Man from Universal Classic Monsters. Curt Connors is a good man in the comics, and he doesn’t want to hurt anyone. Spider-Man knows this, which is why he tries to cure him rather than take him down and leave him for the police.
However, when Curt transforms into the Lizard, he is an uncontrollable killing machine. He is a mindless rampaging monster who knows nothing but intense and bloody violence.
4 Morlun
Morlun came from Earth-001, the Nexus of Marvel’s Earth. Morlun then set out to find and kill all members of the Spider-Totem. He is one of the most powerful villains Spider-Man has ever faced, and the Wall-Crawler has never completely defeated him in battle.
What makes it worse is that Morlun is excessively violent and has killed many Spider-Men across the Multiverse. Now, he is fighting alongside Spider-Man in comics against a greater enemy, but his thirst for violence and death remains high.
3 Annihilus
Many Marvel fans underestimate Annihilus. Some see him as a ridiculous villain with a giant ego and someone whom The Fantastic Four often easily dispatch. Things changed, though, when things like Annihilation showed that he was a deadly villain.
His path of destruction has destroyed planets, and his reign of terror actually began in the Negative Zone. It took enemies teaming up to stop him, and that almost didn’t happen. Annihilus is pure violence incarnate, and he kills on a whim.
2 Sabretooth
While he is nowhere near as strong as someone like Annihilus, and he hasn’t killed as many people as Morlun, Sabretooth might be more violent than both those Marvel villains. Sabretooth's best storylines in X-Men Comics show that, like Wolverine, he has his healing factor to keep him alive.
However, while Wolverine only kills those he considers a threat, Sabretooth loves to kill anyone he sees, for any reason. Even when the mutants could start living peacefully in Krakoa, Sabretooth kept killing. His intense love of violence cost him banishment into the middle of Krakoa.
1 Carnage
The most violent Marvel villain in comics is Carnage. When Venom arrived, he bonded with Peter Parker, and he wanted to be a hero. That is how symbiotes exist, taking on the personalities of those they first bond with. For Carnage, the first human he bonded with was a serial killer named Cletus Kasady, a cannibalistic serial killer in prison.
The fact that he was already a violent killer made it more pronounced when Carnage was born. This symbiote has killed without care; he is easily the most violent villain on Earth, and one of the most dangerous in Marvel Comics.
