We all know a hero isn't really much of a hero without a great villain as the counterbalance. And that's never more important than in this recent renaissance of comic book and superhero movies.
In anticipation of next week's Comic-Con 2013, our pals over at In Demand put together this video focusing on some of the most iconic bad guys we've seen in the last few years. This feature looks at Tom Hiddleston's work as Loki in Thor, Michael Fassbender's portrayal of Magneto in X-Men: First Class, and the mad King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), nemesis of Gerald Butler's Leonidas in 300.
Check out the video above.
