Swarm = Who is that purple baddie ? . I don't know him .
GALACTUS Height: 28 ft. 9 in. Weight: 18.2 tons Eyes: Unknown Hair: Unknown Unusual features: Galactus's height diminishes by as much as 10.9 feet when he is greatly in need of life-giving energy. Although Galactus is usually represented in humanoid form, each sentient being perceives him having a form resembling his own. Hence, humanoids see Galactus in humanoid form, while a Skrull, for example, would perceive Galactus as resembling a Skrull. Although as Galan, Galactus was indeed a humanoid; his true current form is unknown. It is unclear why beings from different sentient races perceive him differently. Strength Level: At full power, Galactus possesses Class 100 strength, enabling him to lift well over 100 tons, and he can use his vast power to increase his strength immeasurably beyond that. However, Galactus invariably relies on his energy powers in combat rather than his physical strength. Known Superhuman Powers: Galactus possesses cosmic power beyond the abilities of human beings to measure. Galactus is able to use the vast energies within him for an incalculable number of effects. Some of his most rudimentary abilities are the molecular restructuring or conversion of matter, the projection of energy with enormous concussive force, the teleportation of objects across space or even time, and the erection of invincible energy-screens and force fields. Even his heralds, whom he has endowed with a small fraction of his ever-renewing power, are able to manipulate matter and energy in ways far beyond human comprehension. Galactus wears a full-body suit of armor constructed from an unknown extraterrestrial metal that permits him to regulate and control his personal energy. If he were to remove the armor, the vast cosmic energies that empower him would run rampant, with the potential to turn him into a small sun. Galactus requires unknown energies obtainable only from a certain type of planet in order to sustain his life. The suitable type of planet need not be one where life is present, but it must have the potential to support life. Although he is able to extract and absorb this energy himself, he generally employs a complicated array of equipment to perform the conversion process for him. The equipment is not only more efficient than he is, but also enables him to avoid the needless expenditure of energy involved in the process. Sometimes Galactus drains the energies he needs from a planet while still leaving it barely habitable. Other times he destroys all life and water on the planet in the process, leaving its surface devastated and barren. Most often his feeding process destroys the planet, reducing it to space rubble. When Galactus was newly born in his current form, the energy of a medium-size Earth-like planet was enough to sustain him for over a century (using Earthly measurements of time). Now, for unknown reasons, he needs to feed about once a month. His body totally converts the energy he absorbs for its life functions and bodily activities without any waste products. Galactus is telepathic, able to scan the thoughts of any mind he has yet encountered, no matter how alien or advanced it was. Weapons: Galactus often employs a robot called the Punisher, which possesses great superhumanoid strength, to battle adversaries whose power levels do not rival his own. Transportation: Although Galactus is capable of space travel via his own power, he disdains the needless expenditure of power and prefers to travel in starships of his own design. |

question: what kind of scale was large/ strong enough to weigh Galactus?

In my opinion, Galactus isn't technically a villain per se, he's a force of nature. PS: ...and Reed Richards and The Watcher agree with me, so there.  |

Ultron is a true villain. Remorseless, psychotic, relishes in destruction and pain, Oedipus complex, nearly invinceable, etc. Galactus is no megalomaniac, he doesn't despise you, or try to uncover your secret identiy, or enjoy torturing innocent civilians. He's the anteater and we are the ants. Can't really blame the anteater for trying to survive.

Joker and Magneto are both fine choices. I think I like Joker better myself though, because of the way he mindfucks Batman on a daily basis. Batman knows every time he captures the Joker that the Joker is just going to escape again, but he can't bring himself to kill the Joker no matter how heinous his crimes are because the Dark Knight just cannot bring himself to cross that line.
In the Justice League cartoon series, when Lex Luthor was playing that scheming villain during the Cadmus Project story arc, I thought he was pretty awesome then too.

I also like Venom but he has a soft side. No villian should have a soft side.

If you can identify with the villian I think it makes a better villain.

I think that some villans just need to be villans.
I do not mind Loki being Evil because of jealousy towards Thor and Odin, but guys like the Wrecker and the Wrecking Crew- they just need to be downright big dumb badguys (aside from Thunderball).

My favourite supervillian in Deathstroke. Read Identity Crisis no#3. He even took out Colossus and snuck up on Wolverine in the comics. He also took out Hal Jordan, Aquaman and the Flash in an issue of Justice League. Superman nabbed him though.
My second would be Joel Schumacher. He did more damage to Batman then all his enemies combined.
