20 Movies Where the Villain Becomes the Good Guy
15. Puppet Master
Puppet Master isn’t strong, but he’s dangerous with a lump of radioactive clay. He can control anyone he sculpts, which has caused more than a few headaches for the Fantastic Four. | © Marvel Studios
14. Medusa
Before becoming queen of the Inhumans, Medusa made her mark as a villain with the Frightful Four. With her psychically controlled hair and shifting loyalties, she’s been both an enemy and an unexpected ally to the Fantastic Four. | © Marvel Studios
13. The Beyonder
The Beyonder is a godlike wildcard who kicked off the original Secret Wars by smashing realities together just to see what would happen. He may be all-powerful, but that hasn’t stopped the Fantastic Four from standing in his way, again and again. | © Marvel Studios
12. Namor
Namor was Marvel’s first antihero, and he’s been clashing with the Fantastic Four since the early days. As the proud King of Atlantis, he’s torn between protecting his people, his massive ego, and his not-so-subtle thing for Susan Storm. | © Marvel Studios
11. Silver Surfer
Silver Surfer might be the coolest-looking character in Marvel, and he rides a cosmic surfboard through space and time like it’s nothing. He started as Galactus’s herald but gave up his freedom to save Earth, making him as noble as he is powerful. | © Marvel Studios
10. Super Skrull
Super-Skrull was built to be the ultimate counter to the Fantastic Four. He has got all their powers, and sometimes uses them better than they do. Created by the Skrull Empire, Kl’rt is a constant reminder that their greatest strengths can be used against them. | © Marvel Studios
9. Mole Man
Mole Man was the very first villain the Fantastic Four ever faced, and he came armed with building-sized monsters. As ruler of Subterranea, he doesn’t need powers of his own when he’s got a whole underground army at his command. | © Marvel Studios
8. Mad Thinker
The Mad Thinker isn’t flashy, but he’s persistent and dangerously smart. His obsession with stealing Reed Richards’ tech and predicting every move down to the second has kept him in the Fantastic Four’s orbit for decades. | © Marvel Studios
7. Kang The Conqueror
Kang the Conqueror is a time-traveling tyrant with deep ties to the Fantastic Four; he's even a distant descendant of Reed Richards. From ruling as Rama-Tut to waging war across timelines, Kang remains one of their most persistent foes. | © Marvel Studios
6. Blastaar
Blastaar rules the Negative Zone with brute force and deadly energy blasts. He’s not as famous as some villains, but his strength, flight, and strategy make him a serious threat the Fantastic Four can’t ignore. | © Marvel Studios
5. Molecule Man
Molecule Man started as just another early villain, but he turned into one of the most powerful threats the Fantastic Four ever faced. He can reshape matter at will, has possessed heroes like Reed Richards, and even teamed up with multiversal dangers. | © Marvel Studios
4. Galactus
Galactus is a threat to the entire cosmos, not just the Fantastic Four. He isn’t evil, just driven by a hunger that forces him to consume planets, even as he struggles to stop himself. | © Marvel Studios
3. The Wizard
The Wizard thinks he’s the smartest man in the world and makes sure everyone knows it. His arrogance constantly trips him up, like the time Reed Richards beat him by simply letting him talk too much. | © Marvel Studios
2. Annihilus
Annihilus is the worst kind of Negative Zone warlord. With the Cosmic Control Rod keeping him basically immortal, he’s been a nightmare for the Fantastic Four and even some of Marvel’s cosmic heavyweights. | © Marvel Studios
1. Dr. Doom
No Fantastic Four villain comes close to Doctor Doom. He’s not just Reed Richards’ ultimate rival, he is a genius tyrant, a magical powerhouse, and the kind of menace who makes even other villains nervous. | © Marvel Studios
