3) Giganta
Mad scientists… they’re just the worst. When will they learn that crazy experiments and crackpot schemes will never work out the way they want them to? Just look at Einstein. No rogues gallery would be complete without one though, so without further ado, let us introduce Giganta, a scientist who tried to cure her fatal blood disease by swapping bodies with Wonder Woman.
Shockingly, this brilliantly thought-out scheme didn’t exactly go to plan and in the end, Giganta somehow ended up in the body of a circus strongwoman, one who could randomly grow fifty feet tall. Over the years, Giganta’s reputation has grown in stature – ahem – through numerous appearances in animated DC cartoons, dating all the way back to episodes of the Super Friends in the 1970’s. Those Wonder Twins man…
Anyway, Giganta earns a spot on this place for two reasons. One, she possesses the strength to match Wonder Woman in direct combat, presenting a genuine threat to the Warrior Princess, and secondly, Giganta could be one of the most visually impressive villains ever seen in a comic book movie.
We’ve already had a size-shifting Ant-Man, but we’re yet to see a character grow physically larger. Imagine Wonder Woman fighting off an enemy the size of a skyscraper. This stuff writes itself. Unfortunately, the mass destruction caused by a fight with Giganta would be extensive and Batman’s already got this hands full forcing Superman to pay for the collateral damage he’s caused.
Batman V Wonder Woman. Look out for it in cinemas soon. You heard it here first!
