So I've committed to doing a bunch of spooky scarytime Halloween lists for y'all this season, and this is one of those that I had the most fun putting together. I love crime comics and horror comics, and as a result, comics about or featuring serial killers are straight up my alley. Fair warning, the series these guys are from are pretty brutal and violent, and so the descriptions in this list will get kinda graphic. So if you have a weak stomach or heart, this list maybe isn't for you. Because we are about to delve into the depths of human depravity for a list of madmen and murderers. A list of the people who stalk the streets at night. Stay out of their way, and you can avoid winding up a part of their body count. But be warned, from here on out, things are gonna get a bit bloody.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We're talking about SERIAL KILLERS, not SUPERVILLAINS. Because if I didn't disqualify the supervillainous element, this list would be entirely composed of them. So no Joker, obviously. Just clearing that up now. Even though maybe a tenth of you actually read this intro part. Just know that you guys are the ones I love most.

10. The Sin-Eater
(Marvel)
Stanley Carter is a story of tragedy.
An up-and-coming SHIELD Agent, Stanley was pulled aside and enrolled in an experimental new program. This program pumped him full of enhancement drugs designed to make him strong and boost his endurance. Unfortunately, it left him with a violent temperament, and he resigned from SHIELD, taking a new job as a detective.
When he lost his partner, it drove him over the edge, turning him into a singularly driven force, thirsting to kill anyone he designated as a sinner, starting with Police Captain and close personal friend of Spider-Man Jean DeWolff. As Stanley went on through his rampage, he drew the attention of Spider-Man and Daredevil, who eventually brought him in for capture.
After receiving treatment, Stanley seemed to have recovered, repressing the Sin-Eater persona for good. But eventually, he was unable to remain strong, and reverted to the Sin-Eater. Stanley managed to commit suicide by cop by threatening police with an empty shotgun, putting a sad end to the life of the Sin-Eater.
