it's about time welcome to watch Mojo and today we're counting down rpix for the best animated superhero characters that kids definitely shouldn't be watching you're just taking up space breathing my air number 15 homelander the boys presents diabolical you just don't want the competition do you but let's be honest it's not really a competition is it the homelander from the boys is already a television tour to force but we were still surprised by the depth of his animated counterpart in the eighth episode of the Anthology series we see the superheroes first day as a member
of the seven while the homelander we know today is undoubtedly a monster he surprisingly started out with good intentions violence is never the answer now if you come peacefully I'll make sure your cause is discussed at the highest level but that side of him is thrown out of the window when his team up with black noir goes South Anthony star's liveaction portrayal is already compelling but the younger and more naive depiction gives us a refreshing perspective on the character with the right guidance homelander really could have been a Force for good you know you were
wrong about no was I he had a few things to teach me after all number 14 Injustice Superman Injustice I don't want to waste time turning those ships around when you can do it with a phone call you can't get yes I can after the Joker tricks Superman into killing Lois Lane and destroys Metropolis he's met with the wrath of a Superman with nothing left to lose from then on the man of Ste slowly becomes the world's most dangerous super villain as he brings the Earth under tyrannical rule I don't care about your lands beliefs
or Petty squabbles I don't care if you're a freedom fighter or a terrorist dictator or president monsters will not be allowed to roam free it's fascinating to see the Dynamics between the heroes and villains change as Superman leads an allout war on Batman's Insurgency while the film's violence can be hard to stomach we can't help but be fascinated by the idea of an evil Superman I know you won't step aside but you are not going to stop us number 13 Stripperella Stripperella she might not be the first character that comes to mind when you think
of Stan Lee but she certainly stands out for being one of the most unique superheroes he ever created at night ertica Jones is an exotic dancer and by late night she's a Superhero SL spy named Stripperella that evil woman what kind of monster would do such a thing that's the worst thing I've ever heard in the early 2000s cartoon she uses various superpowers and her assets to fight crime her runchy aventures have put her in the crosshairs of many bizarre and very adult themed super villains though she had a short run on TV it's hard
not to appreciate her boldness and cheeky tone I wonder thing there was a misunderstanding and I wrote a letter to my boss calling him a big fat idiot and I need it back or I'll be fired can you help me find it in there no number 12 the max the max this MTV comic book adaptation came at a time when few superhero shows dared to tread such dark and experimental territory now surrender hopping boy or this charming young chippy is added to my score you k my hostage the Title Character the max is an unhoused
man who also lives a double life as a purple skinn hero in a bizarre reality called the Outback in both Realms he protects social worker Julie from danger with his Vivid mask and animalistic traits he's one of the most striking and intimidating Heroes out there however it's his struggle to navigate the line between fantasy and reality that really makes him fascinating I'm out of control again I don't remember where I was was this week I saw a paper said it was Friday last I remember it was Sunday number 11 kitan kitan hell yeah who's kitan
again hey you know me I got a kite say hell yeah do a solid Bor hat impression who would have thought that a DZ Batman villain could be a pretty endearing lead character Chuck Brown is a wannabe super villain with unearned confidence and a heart of gold from Gaining his par C approval to running a grimy Dive Bar kitem man's goals aren't exactly villainous you will find them in most episodes of this Harley Quinn spin-off just trying to get by and keep a positive attitude while we love how evil and ambitious The Joker and Lex
Lu Thor are kitem men's problem and down toe personality are a breath of fresh air Carol whether you let me in to see Helen or you don't let me in the thing I really care about is how are you doing the only person who ever asked me that was my dad rest in peace number 10 Joker Batman The Killing Joke so you don't like it don't like it I'm crazy for it when making an R-rated Batman movie there's only one person you could get to voice The Joker Mark Hamill he reprises the road to perfection
in what many consider to be the clown Prince's definitive storyline the story captures the Joker at his worst he leaves Barbara Gordon with paralysis by shooting her point L then tortures Jim Gordon in an attempt to drive him insane and he does this all while delivering haunting jokes and disturbing monologs me and my colleagues we couldn't come up with one sound mind and body between us so we're counting on yours we also get flashbacks of the man before his chemical bath letting Hamill showcase an oddly endearing Joker before he had his one really bad day
I was trying to imagine that my life completely changed nothing will be the same not ever again number nine Magneto X-Men 97 most other nations don't allow a terrorist to be their leader yet so many allow their leaders to be terrorists the original animated series had a lot going for it with its surprisingly mature themes X-Men 97 takes it a step further by being more avert in its messaging nowhere is this clearer than with Magneto who returns to the series to fight for mutant rights once again Charles Xavier in Trust usted me with his dream
and it does not ask you to love or embrace my kind as your own but merely to accept that this is a shared world with a common future throughout his journey he makes an effort to follow in Xavier's footsteps eventually he's pushed too far when a sentinel attack takes countless mutant lives his subsequent actions while radical are more understandable than ever an aspect of the character that's better appreciated from an adult perspective W Magneto's powers are also fun to watch it's really his fight against hate and bigotry that makes him one of the greats how
many more of your bones will pave the way to Xavier's future were we simper like Beggars for tolerance your professor's dream is dead so I offer a new one number eight Red Hood Batman under the Red Hood those are the heads of all your lieutenants that took me two 2 hours you want to see what I can get done in a whole evening years after the Joker brutally kills the second Robin Jason Todd a new vigilante called the Red Hood comes to Gotham this will turn out to be a vengeful Jason back from the dead
while there are plenty of Heavy Hitters in Batman's Rogue Gallery no one strikes at his heart quite like red hood does Jason's resentment of his no killing rule caus his whole purpose into question ignoring what he's done in the past blindly stupidly disregarding the entire graveyards he's filled the thousands who have suffered the friends he's crippled you know I thought I thought I'd be the last person you'd ever let him hurt Jason even threatens to replace Batman by permanently wiping out criminals in the city although Jason's methods were demonstrated to be wrong in the end
he still gets points for challenging Batman in a way that no one else has what bothers you more that your greatest failure has returned from the grave or that I've become a better Batman than you number s John Constantine DC AMU one of the best characters in the whole DC Animated Universe is the Laughing magician himself from conning ancient gods to summoning demons Constantine has probably infuriated just about everyone he's crossed paths with as a master of the occult Constantine uses his magic to fight monsters and on occasion save lives but his real power isn't
in his spells it's in his sharp wit and cunning which have helped him survive everything from Hell spawn to aliens from apocalypse that's not real is it I gave up on trying to figure out what's real a long time ago not a helpful answer despite his deceptive charm however he's a deeply tragic figure he's often haunted by his greatest sins and the Ghost of his past wherever he goes you can count on him to turn any situation into a bloody chaotic mess rip your bloody H out sorry mate I'm using that number six Batman Batman
The Dark Knight Returns what was that just the right kind of Cut Above the eyes the kind that bleeds there have been several iconic animated Batmans films like the long Halloween were great at adapting the character's deep sadness and intelligence The Dark Knight Returns however captures practically everything we love about Batman even if he is an older and more cynical iteration based on Frank Miller's acclaimed miniseries this story follows Batman as he comes out of retirement to fight a new wave of crime in Goth his Crusade leads him to face off against a mutant gang
leader The Joker and Superman in some of his greatest fights ever put to film in the end he proved that even old age won't stop him from being one of the best superheroes of all time all the people I've murdered by letting you live I never kept count I did I know and I love you for it number five Hellboy Hellboy blood and iron oh crap while we do love guer Modell Toro's liveaction films animation perfectly captures the flare and horror of the supernatural Hero set between del Toro's first two movies this animated feature pits
Hellboy against the dark goddess heate he delivers all the fierce action and witty banter that fans have come to expect from him that's doe in no small part to Ron Perman who FL asly transitioned into voicing the iconic role lady I was going to cut you some slack cuz you're a major mythological figure but that that's crazy talk now leave me alone Hellboy design is also reminiscent of Mike mola's original artwork so it really feels like the character Hoops straight out of the pages of the comics can we do this some other time number four
hit monkey hit monkey I wouldn't do that if I were you you pick up one of these in anger and you'll never put it down one of Marvel's most underrated characters hit monkey finally gets the spotlight in his own series after the traumatizing Massacre of his entire Clan monkey sets off on a Revenge Quest against those who killed his family if you're a Marvel fan and action junkie this character is tailor made for you hit monkey gets into all kinds of thrilling shootouts fast-paced sword fights and high octane chases but he's not just about Mindless
violence monkey's guilty conscience and friendship with the Assassin Bryce serve as the emotional core of the series you'll watch hit monkey for the gunfights but you'll stay for a surprisingly heartfelt story about loss and Redemption killing is not easy it's not just point shoot and watch the bad guy go bye-bye it's watch you go bye-bye because every time you kill someone a little bit of you dies too and it sucks number three spawn spawn the Animated Series [Music] spawn yeah asn't hell spawn hey it's what you are baby so get used to it the Assassin
turned anti-hero from Hell may be Todd McFarland's most iconic creation though the series Strays quite a bit from the comics the violent and mature storylines are present throughout but the best part of the show has to be spawn himself his internal struggle with the devil's influence makes for a tragic and deeply captivating figure he steals every scene he's in just by letting his cap Billow in the wind and we'd be remiss to not mention Keith David's chilling and outright badass vocal performance the show wouldn't be nearly as memorable without him in the role who made
you God little man not that gun not that uniform nothing number two Harley Quinn Harley Quinn what you're going to kill me now no I want you alive so I can see the look on your face when I'm running this town what happens when the Joker's girlfriend is decides to become her own special brand of villain you get one of the funniest most foul mouth and excessively violent characters that DC has ever produced in this show Harley Quinn voiced by Kaye quok tries to make a name for herself by pulling off insane crimes she may
not be the most dangerous Batman villain but she manages to Stand Out by being resourceful and hilariously relatable we all know what it's like to want independence deal with frustrating co-workers and feel nervous about a new relationship we might not handle it by swinging a baseball bat but we get why it works for Harley I am having a blast this is what I've always wanted I Anarchy and Sushi before we continue be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos you have the option to be notified

through the ringer he dishes out brutal beatdowns and takes his fair share of punishment in return somehow he manages to keep his moral compass intact choosing to hold back his full pow so that he doesn't become like his enemies but that doesn't mean he won't get his hands dirty when he needs to Invincible is a shining example of how to write a superhero for adult audiences without making them evil or edgy I thought you were stronger many of the most violent and adult themed superheroes seem to come from DC does that mean DC is darker
