15. Apocalypse
Don't let that godawful movie fool you. Apocalypse is actually a pretty cool dude.
En Sabah Nur was born in ancient Egypt as the first mutant. Grey skin, blue lips, weird lip protrusions, these did not make him super well-liked. He was abandoned in the desert and raised by raiders. Nur would eventually get into combat with Rama Tut, the future Kang the Conqueror, and this trained him to become a conqueror too. This would lead to stealing a spaceship and fighting a young Thor. Around this time, he took the name Apocalypse. Over the centuries, he traded blows with Vlad the Impaler, the Black Knight, and the Brood, before corrupting his first batch of Horsemen.
In the 19th century, Apocalypse met Nathaniel Essex and impressed him into servitude under the new name Mr. Sinister. Oh, he also fought Dracula. That's important. Eventually, he arose in the present, and fought X-Factor a whole bunch, becoming one of the more famous X-Men foes. He then went out in battle with The X-Men, Avengers, the Sentinels, and his own former servant Ozymandias, trapped forever by the celestials.

14. Despero
Another goofy-looking dude who got better with time.
Despero began as a telepathic conqueror with a third laser eye and a scrawny body, but he’d drastically shift over the years. When he re-appeared later, it was as a hulking behemoth with incredible strength to go along with his vast mental powers. He even possessed President Lex Luthor as part of a scheme to destroy the Justice League and Justice Society alongside Johnny Sorrow. He was also a superpower hoarder.
Here’s a short list of Despero's powers: Telekinesis, third-eye energy blasting, flight, force field generation, telepathy, mind control, illusion generation, literal magic wielding, possession, projection, limited invulnerability, super strength, super speed, super stamina, regeneration, teleportation, reality warping, matter and energy manipulation, hand-to-hand combat, and superintelligence. I'm sorry, but I don't know how that power set is in any way fair. Like, I call BS on that loadout, Despero.
Power Level: Someone's crappy fanfiction OC.
