Super villains are the reason there are superheroes. They have their own radical beliefs that are socially unacceptable and so there are superheroes to stop them.

Super villains usually become the villains because they were liked second best or they were simply evil at heart. Celebrities that portrayed these roles have had to undergo many changes-physically to get the superhero "buffness" and to get into character, which for some actors is actually harder than most people realize.

So, to give applause to these super villains that are never seen as the hero-evidently for many reasons, here are the sexiest male super villains that made most of the superhero movies. They are well known celebrities that have decided to take on a different role as characters that were evil-but the cool thing is that people still love them when they aren't dressed as Batman-hating or Superman-hating super villains.

In the list of super villains we have Tom Hiddleston who is actually a volunteer at UNICEF. He played the role of Loki and will be back as the same character in "Thor 2: The Dark World".

Another famous actor well known for his many other roles is Tom Hardy that placed the role of "Bane" in the "Dark Knight Rises".

Another Batman super villain is the Joker. The Joker was played by Heath Ledger, the role was said to be the hardest to play because Batman's enemy the Joker was fairly the evilest of all super villains.
