Batman choking Joker
 
Welcome to the Friday Five! Each week I help you get to know me a bit better with the help of a top 5 list! This week’s category: Favorite Enemies.
 
What good is a hero without an awesome villain? The black to their white. The yin to their yang. The chaos to their order. The perfect villains are those that are diametric opposites to our hero, to shed some darkness into the light of the hero and remind them why they do what it is they do. This is my tribute to my favorite enemy pairings.
 

  1. Kirk & Khan – Star Trek – Even though they never interact with each other directly in The Wrath of Khan, it’s still one of the most epic showdowns ever.
  2.  

  3. Optimus Prime & Megatron – One shall stand, one shall fall!
  4.  

  5. Jerry & Newman – Hello, Newman!
  6.  

  7. Spider-Man & Green Goblin – As great as Doc Ock is, I would argue that the Green Goblin was far more important villain in Spider-Man’s rogues gallery.
  8.  

  9. Batman & Joker – What pair of enemies better represents the duality of man? Not counting Two-Face of course . . .

 
KHHAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!
