#2: Mystique “X-Men” (2000)
As a part of Magneto’s “evil” mutant brotherhood, Mystique is as good as bad gets. She’s cunning and crafty, and her mutant shapeshifting abilities are enough to keep even the most skillful of the X-Men on their toes. She’s dedicated to the domination of the mutant race, which might not be so bad if it didn’t also mean the elimination of all humans worldwide. She’s both a sweet dream and a beautiful nightmare. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
#1: Catwoman “Batman Returns” (1992)
Michelle Pfeiffer VS Zoë Kravitz VS Anne Hathaway as Catwoman
There have been several iterations of Batman’s feline anti-hero, but Michelle Pfeiffer’s turn in the cat-suit is the stuff of movie legend. Selina Kyle-slash-Catwoman serves as both potential lover and nefarious foe to Batman. A true villain in her own right, she’s bent on eradicating Batman and dominating Gotham City. To say her relationship with the caped crusader is complex is an understatement, and their ongoing battle of hero vs. villain on serves to make their flirtation a little strained.
