9. Graydon Creed
(X-Men, Marvel Comics)
Well, I had to have at least one X-Men villain on this list. X-Men villains love to take positions as high-ranking authority figures, from senators to reverends to presidential candidates. But let's talk more specifically abut our pal Graydon. Turns out that Graydon was the kid of German Espionage Agent Leni Zauber and mercenary assassin Victor Creed, aka Sabretooth. Oh, but it gets more complicated, because "Leni Zauber" was actually just Mystique in disguise. She got pregnant and gave the child (who turned out 100% human) up for adoption.
When Graydon learned he was abandoned by his mutant parents, he grew enraged and founded the domestic terrorist organization The Friends of Humanity, a group dedicated to suppressing mutant rights through acts of violence. Eventually, this led to a presidential campaign, fueled by hate and fear. At one of his presidential rallies, however, he was shot and killed by an unknown assassin. And that was the official story until it was later revealed that the assassin was actually a time-traveling Mystique (Graydon's mother), who killed Graydon in revenge for the Friends of Humanity's attack on Mystique's lover Destiny's grandson, Trevor.
Look, X-Men comics are convoluted, ok?
