This is it — the grand finale! We’ve covered villains from the 1950s to the 2000s, and now we’re tackling the modern era: 2010 to 2024, a stretch filled with some of the most debated, beloved, and terrifying villains in genre fiction.

From Negan’s brutality to Thanos’s twisted philosophy… from Taravangian’s chilling logic to Feyd-Rautha’s electrifying return to prominence… these villains defined the stories of our time. Jim breaks down why each of them dominated their year and what makes them so unforgettable.
