Easily one of the most recognized villains out there, Dr. Hannibal Lecter is a not just a psychopath that eats his victims, but he’s incredibly intelligent and received his doctorates at Johns Hopkins! Though we don’t see him much in Silence of the Lambs, his presence is unsettling from the outset, but we can’t help but be held captive by his charms.
Strengths: Fantastic Artist, Cannibalistic Serial Killer, Incredibly Smart
Weaknesses: Speaks in Quid Pro Quo, Soft spot for younger women
Easily the biggest and most well-known villain in the comic book universe, his renewal in the Christopher Nolan directed The Dark Knight cemented his place in villain history. The Joker murders people left and right with no empathy while wearing the nicest tailored suits
