Today, we here at Spiel Times will be taking a look at the Top 10 Coolest Characters from the game, LEGO DC Super-Villains.
The LEGO DC franchise is one of the most popular and successful out of all the LEGO franchises. It received so much success that it even has its own videogame, LEGO DC Super-Villains.
What are LEGO DC Super-Villains?
LEGO DC Super-Villains is an action-adventure open-world Lego game developed by Traveller’s Tales. This game is a direct spin-off of the original series of LEGO Batman games and focuses instead on the supervillains in the same universe.

As for the gameplay, it uses a third-person perspective and involves a classic beat-em-up playstyle. Furthermore, instead of using a known DC character, you play a custom character mainly. Similar to past games, you would have access to different iconic characters, this time, the ones in Batman’s Rogue Gallery.
The game LEGO DC Super-Villains honestly has a lot of really iconic and cool characters that it will for sure be difficult to choose only ten of them. There are over 270 characters in the game, with some requiring more effort to unlock than others.
For our choices, we won’t only be limiting ourselves to Supervillains but also include some Superheroes as well. We’ll also be viewing all available characters in the DLC packs as well.
Our rankings here will be done based on the following factors:
Coolness. This is rated based on how a character looks, sounds, and acts in-game. Plus points if characters are based on iconic versions from comic books, tv shows, or movies!
Powers and Abilities. For this one, we will take a look at the battle moves of the characters, how they move around in combat, and of course how much a powerhouse they are!
Enjoyment Factor. Here we rate how fun it is to play the character, and how the playstyle fits their character’s power fantasy. The more it feels like you’re playing a supervillain/superhero the better!
