I have to say Marvel has the best villains.
While its true DC has Batmans Rogues Gallery and Lex Luthor.....thats really all they have when it comes to being noticable. Not many DC villains really cause any major fandom outside of Lex and Batmans Nutty bars. I mean, just look at the Green Lantern movie, they couldnt get any real noticable character by regular casual fan standards
Now Marvel, on the other hand, every film has had some big villain, and every hero out there has a great nasty villain thats instantly noticable to the casual fan. Thor Has Loki, Captain America has the Red Skull, X-men have Magneto and Sabretooth and Apocalypse and even more recognizable villains thanks to its various TV series's. Spiderman has his colorfull rogues gallery which is just as psychotic as Batmans. The Fantastic Four has Dr freakin Doom, the original inspiration for Darth Vader!
Image is hard to say cause to me, its like theres no real major consistancy. their villains arent mainstream enough to really point a finger at an go "OOOOOO I love that guy" to the casual comic fan. Shame, though I freakin hate Savage Dragon.
Disney, I'm gonna say you mean villains in the disney movies. They do steal the spotlight many times, but in the end they almost always die and then thats it. Disney dosent have a superboy to punch their 4th wall to bring them back to life. great memorial villains, but they dont get a real chance to move beyond their first appearance.
So I have to say marvel. In DC, whos the guy you point out who wants to rule or destroy the world/universe. Darkseid or Lex Luthor or maybe Sinestro. its always them. In Marvel, its Doom, Magneto when he's bad, Green Goblin, Loki, Thanos, Zemo, Red Skull, Ultron, the list goes on and on.
Marvel wins. Maybe the DCnU will add a lot more depth to their villains so they can compete. otherwise they will ALWAYS play second fiddle to the heroes.
