Top 10 Sympathetic Villains in Cartoons

then you will love me as I love you sometimes even the bad guys need a hug welcome to watchmojo.com and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 sympathetic villains in cartoons oh is this bond for this list we're taking a look at villains that aren't evil just to be evil some of them actually have a soft side others turn to the dark side because of a traumatic event and a few aren't even evil by choice as a result we can't help but feel sorry for them number 10 the toilet Nader codename kids next door I can do other stuff in a world where kids fight back against the tyranny of adults the kids next door face off against some of the strangest and most powerful villains around and then there's the toilet nadir toilet nadir is harmless which isn't something to be proud of if you're a villain he's enthusiastic and eager to learn from the best but neither the kids next door nor his fellow villains take him seriously yeah a brilliant plan does include a soggy villain who'll get outsmarted by the kids next door honestly you can't help but feel bad for the poor toilet themed baddie toilet Nader maybe a soggy villain but if you push him too far you might just get flushed I just think it's kind of funny when you turn number nine dr. Curt Connors the lizard the spectacular spider-man it's an honor to meet you dr. Connors you look familiar sir doc Connors isn't a villain he's a brilliant scientist a loving father and husband and a mentor to Peter Parker but the same cannot be said about the lizard tell me you didn't use that lizard DNA formula lizards regenerate lost limbs and some lizards stick to walls and eat raw meat that doesn't mean you risk your life look at the results when Connors experiments with lizard DNA to help grow back his missing arm he succeeds sorta Connors ends up turning himself into a rampaging reptilian monster in the process but Spidey manages to tame the Beast and bring the doctor back the fact that deep down this cold-blooded beast is really a good man makes both spider-man and the audience feel for him and his struggle yes even despite all the destruction and mayhem the lizard causes number 8 Baxter Stockman Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles now watch how my Mouser follows its nose to the rack Stockman didn't start out as a villain he was just a scientist trying to sell his Mouser robots to a pest control company when they reject him shredder takes him in to use his inventions to defeat splinter and the turtles after too many failures and setbacks Stockman is sent to Dimension X to be disintegrated but is instead mutated into a giant fly monster once an ordinary and capable scientist just trying to market his inventions baxter stockman becomes a buzzing mutant stuck in dimensional limbo hell-bent on returning to his human form [Music] number seven Zim invader zim the shmoop gets to take a break without exploding why not me poor Zim can't seem to catch a break when it comes to his plans to take over the earth first the irken leaders known as the almighty tallest try to get rid of him by exiling him to earth just because he's a little overzealous and destructive you will be sent to a planet so mysterious no one has even heard of it right and those who've heard of it dare not speak its name what's its name oh I do not speak it he goes out of his way to please the irken empire and how do they thank him by laughing at his pain and misery on top of that he's stuck on earth with a bunch of idiot humans and his plans keep getting foiled by Dib with even his own kind against him you can't help but root for Zim even though he's trying to enslave us all [Music] number six Mojo Jojo the Powerpuff Girls I will give you commands and you will obey them this big-brained monkey must spend a lot of time thinking about how he had a hand in creating his own mortal enemies before he was a mojo menace Jojo was professor utonium wreckless lab assistant his monkey business in the lab caused a professor to accidentally add chemical X to his experiment the explosion caused his brain to grow but it also brought Blossom Bubbles and Buttercup into the world feeling abandoned by his father Jojo decided to try and rule the world and can you blame him he'd been replaced by adorable crime-fighting super-powered little girls how could you know what it's like for people to fear and despise you for the very things that make you special because you don't fit in because you are [Music] number 5 hexadecimal reboot how dare you interrupt me when I'm putting on my faith in the cyberspace city of mainframe Bob and his friends must protect the computer system from the insidious computer virus megabyte and his chaotic sister hexadecimal really hexadecimal I don't have time for the how very very sad I'll have to destroy you all then hex isn't the queen of chaos for nothing while her brother prefers complete control and order she enjoys good old-fashioned mayhem and disruption however behind her ever-changing mask there are some aspects of this character to sympathize with mainly her crush on Bob Bob needs a hand hex what are you doing here well I thought I could help after all you are my favorite guardian when the supervirus demon threatens the safety of mainframe the queen of chaos does anything she can to save Bob including sacrificing herself to cure the system of a massive infection in the end hex is motivated by love we're not survive it won't hex I'm sorry well that's just not good enough number 4 harley quinn batman the animated series and the new Batman adventures you're a hero to all the boys in blue but this time Davy the joke's on you before she became a wildly popular villain in the DC Universe Harley Quinn made her debut in batman the animated series as the Joker's right-hand girl [Music] unfortunately being a member of Joker's crew means having to take a hit from both the bat and the boss and Harley suffers constant abuse at the hands of her precious mr. J why didn't you tell me someone put a hill there never mind just hand me the gun she was once a perfectly sane psychiatrist at Arkham until she was seduced by the clown's tragic past now she goes out of her way to please her puddin even if it means taking shots for him and from him don't you wanna rev up your Harley [Music] number-three the Ice King Adventure Time yeah I know what Ice King means a big nerd Oh believe it or not this big nerd wasn't always a princess chasing tyrunt before the great mushroom war Ice King was an ordinary archeologist named simon petrikov with a lovely fiancee named Betty I am recording this tape so that people will know my story but all that changed when he put on the strange and magical crown the granted him powers over ice and slowly ate away at his sanity until it finally and completely transformed him into the icy hermit we know today the saddest part of it all is that he'll probably never remember his old life his beloved Betty or the friendship he had with a young Marceline the vampire queen hey get out of here wait just let me play you what I've written so far number two mr. freeze Batman the Animated Series and it's the new Batman adventures rest well my love the monster who took you from me will soon learn that revenge is a dish best served cold series writer Paul Dini decided the animated series version of mr. freeze deserved an updated back story so he gave him a tragic motivation but since become synonymous with the character before becoming an ice-cold super villain freeze was a brilliant scientist who cryogenically froze his wife until he could find a cure for her fatal disease you understand now why I could not return to my Nora my treasure there's awful for me for you or your city everyone's going to feel my loss an accident left him unable to survive in temperatures above freezing point and he began to fund his quest to cure his wife by becoming a cold-blooded criminal Nora was the only good thing in my life they took her from me I don't care what I have to do to get her back despite his atrocities and evil deeds all he ever wanted was to save his beloved Nora making him as sympathetic as he is dangerous before we unveil our number one pick here are some honorable mentions it's all began on the day of my actual birth both of my parents failed to show up [Music] looks like its counter-attack failed number one Zuko avatar the last airbender why don't you enjoy a cup of calming jasmine tea I don't need any calming tea I need to capture the avatar you can't help but pity the fallen Prince of the Fire Nation Zuko is the son of the Fire Lord and that doesn't come without its fair share of problems like having to live in the shadow of your sadistic sister or being literally burned by your dad for disrespecting him and suffering will be your teacher disgraced and banished by his own father Zuko tries to capture the Avatar to regain his honor he and his uncle are fugitives of their own nation and hated by every other nation as well but out of the ashes of this fallen Prince the Fire Lord that will finally bring peace to all the nations shall rise I promised my uncle that I would restore the honor of the Fire Nation and I will do you agree with our list yeah that's good keep doing that which villain do you think needs more love now I remember you you were the worst lab assistant I ever had four more sympathetic top 10s published every day be sure to subscribe to watchmojo.com
