Black Manta (DC)

Primarily due to his placement in the world of Aquaman, a title itself often obscure compared to others, Black Manta has been underrated for far too long in comics. Yet, everything about Manta, from his suit and design to his origin story and motivation, is incredible and compelling. In many ways, Black Manta is even more interesting as a villain than Aquaman is as a hero. A recent miniseries attempted to explore Manta's complexity, but made the mistake of trying to spin him into an antihero figure. But Black Manta is by far best as an outright villain.
