Fantastic Five: Weirdest DC Comics Villains

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from our years on the Internet, it’s that there’s no aspect of comics that can’t be broken down and quantified in a single definitive list, preferably in amounts of five or ten. And since there’s no more definitive authority than ComicsAlliance, we’re taking it upon ourselves to compile Top Five lists of everything you could ever want to know about comics.

Being a super-villain is, by its very nature, already pretty weird. I mean, the impulse to put on a top hat and carry out Alice in Wonderland-themed crimes is not typical behavior. But some villains really go above and beyond in their ability to be really, really strange.

Just a note: even though we're labeling these characters as weird, that doesn't mean we think they're lame. In fact, most of these villains are completely delightful precisely because of how weird they are. These weirdos are actually pretty awesome. Except for the racist parts. Racism is the worst.

Show notes:

• You can find the first appearance of Bag O' Bones in Showcase Presents Batman vol 3.
• Egg Fu and Egg Fu the Fifth pop up in Showcase Presents Wonder Woman vol 4.
• Basically none of the other characters' appearances are in print because I guess DC doesn't want us to be happy.
