It can be said that a hero is only as important or powerful as his or her enemy. Don't believe me? Superman was great, but Superman II which introduced super-powered foes who could match the man of steel was far better. Everyone liked the Super Friends cartoon, but when it became Challenge of the Super Friends and each installment opened with the Legion of Doom plotting their next scheme, the cartoon became downright iconic. Ask anyone what their favorite film, cartoon or comic is and dollars to donuts it centers on a villain going all out to destroy the hero.
A good villain makes a good story all that much better but a great one an make it a classic. From twisted and brilliant to demonic and monstrous, the super-villains of DC Comics are a necessary evil.
