Is The Joker The Most Famous Fictional Bad Guy of all time?

[The-Dark-Knight]

I was thinking today and cannot think of another fictional villian more famous and well known than the joker, sure superman has lex bend has Dr. No, goldfinger and oddjob and spider-man had the green goblin star wars has vader but none have of those are as iconic or as well known as the Joker (okay vader comes close, very close). Am i right?

Is the Joker the most famous fictional villian of them all?

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Dracula.

 

[Nirvana]

Nope.

 

[Nirvana]

Satan is the most popular fictional villain of all time.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Satan is the most popular fictional villain of all time.

I was going to say that as well but was unsure if he was a real entity.

 

[shapeshifter]

i would say joker is the most famous comic related bad guy.

 

[Carcharodon]

I dunno. Venom's pretty damn popular. I don't like Venom very much, but it's the truth.

 

[The-Dark-Knight]

Dracula.

I actually forgot about him and Frankenstein's monster.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I dunno. Venom's pretty damn popular. I don't like Venom very much, but it's the truth.

Venom doesn't even come close as to being a recognizable name as Joker, Satan, Dracula, or hell even Frankenstien or Wolfman. The Creature from the Black Lagoon even tops Venom!

 

[Lighthouse]

I actually forgot about him and Frankenstein's monster.

I never really considered the Monster to be the villain. Dracula's without a doubt is the most famous villain.

darth vader

Darth Vader isnt anywhere close.

As for the most famous, the classic Universal Monsters take that title.

 

[Lobo]

I'd say Lex is as known as The Joker is. I think kez might be right with Dracula.

 

[cerealkiller182]

The Joker in general is definitely up there, but not the best

 

[Apollo]

There is a lot of famous fictional bad guys. The Wicked Witch, Dracula, Darth Vader, Lord Voldemort, Hannibal Lecter, Uwe Boll, hehe

i can tell you right now there are going to be a lot of Joker's this halloween. t:

 

[Eagle_23]

No....that would be Darth Vader.

 

[hippie_hunter]

The most famous is debatable, but he's certainly up there with Darth Vader, Hannibal Lecter, and the Wicked Witch.

And no, Venom is nowhere near as famous as those guys.

 

[The Joker]

In the movie world? No.

In the comic book world? Most likely.

 

[Apollo]

I think Doc Ock is more famous then Venom in the movie world. If venom was done in a better approach he could have been just as famous as Doc Ock.

 

[bullets]

yeah they basically ruined venom in the movie world . i would say joker has always been well known and he is up there with darth vader , dracula , frankenstein.

[marukisu]

[Asteroid-Man]

 

[Rain Dog]

Comic book-wise, possibly. But of all time? Like others have said, Dracula and Vader rival and/or surpass him.

 

[Majik1387]

Vader doesnt measure up to Dracula.
