50. Venom - Spider-man comics
One of the best, and some would argue the best, villians to appear in Spider-man comics. Created by a chance encounter with another being who hated Spider-man, an alien symbiote was forced off of Spider-man by a church bell and fled into the church itself. It found Eddie Brock, a man who had just lost his job and blamed it on Spider-man. Together, the two formed a love/hate relationship; they love the power they have together and they hate Spider-man. Venom is the only villian, beyond the copy-cat symbiotes presented in later comics, who doesn't trigger Spidey's "spider sense." The first ever sighting of Venom in a comic was from an issue where all you see is a hand pushing Peter Parker onto the subway tracks. Peter jumps out of the way and wonders why his spider sense didn't go off. If he only knew...

i know what i meant, but apparently it came out different. 
I already knew that Slade and Deathstroke were the same person, I was just slamming on the Teen Titans cartoon and the fact that they couldn't use the name Deathstroke. The "real" (comics) Deathstroke is MUCH cooler.

51. Invader Zim
Bio: Zim is a member of the mighty Irken race, a species of aliens whose social hierarchy is based on height. Zim was banished to the planet Foodcourtia to fry things for the remainder of his life for destroying a sizeable portion of an Irken city with a giant robot.
Upon hearing of Operation Impending Doom II, Zim "quits" being banished and races to the Great Assigning where Irken Elite soldiers are chosen to become Invaders whose mission it is to blend in with the indigenous life forms of their assigned planet and collect intelligence. Zim pleads with the Tallest to assign him a planet, and in a desperate act to get ZIM out of their hair (used figuratively—Irkens have no visible hair), assign him to a Mystery Planet (or alternatively a random point in space), which turns out to be Earth.
Zim is trying to conquer the Earth, and is generally unsuccesful. He has a penchant for being over-dramatic, and uses ridiculously excessive and elaborate plans to conquer the planet when he obviously has the resources to do so much more efficiently. ZIM's usual disguise consists of some contact lenses and a wig, leaving his green skin clearly visible. He's been known to wear other costumes as well, including an old man disguise and a bear suit. He also owns a high-tech back pack which contains his life support systems and brain. Should it be removed he would die in about half an hour.

52. Mr. Crocker - Fairly Oddparents
Denzel Q. Crocker is the somewhat estranged school teacher of the class Timmy is in. He is the only adult in town (and, in fact, the only person in town outside of Timmy) who believes in Fairy Godparents; as a child, he had fairy godparents of his own, but thanks to a time-travelling Timmy they were taken away. His Godparents were Cosmo and Wanda. While his memory of his godparents was erased, he managed to scrawl "Fairy godparents exist" on the back of a fairy detector, before losing his memory. He is therefore strongly suspicious of the amazing things that happen to Timmy, and he was almost successful in discovering about Timmy's godparents (in which case, they'd have to go away for ever). His trademark is having manic wild takes while loudly uttering the phrase "Fairy Godparents!"

55. Kingpin
Wilson Fisk has been a criminal for a long, long time. Due to his large size, he was always picked on. Hence, he developed superb hand-to-hand fighting skills, which allowed him to defend himself and to defeat almost any opponent. That is not fat; it is all muscle. He committed his first murder at a very young age, I believe it was either 12 or 14. After the murder--for which he was never suspected--he began to build a criminal empire. Starting off by leading a small street gang, Fisk used his criminal brilliance to eventually become the Kingpin of Crime. While there has always been competition, for all intents and purposes his syndicate has been the only important one throughout the entire East Coast, and he possesses influence all over the world. To date he has never been arrested for any of his many crimes. This is partly due to his manipulative genius, and partly because he never commits crimes personally anymore. Instead, he has on retainer a huge number of supervillains to do his work for him, such as Bullseye, Typhoid Mary, and the Enforcers (Ox, Fancy Dan, Montana, Snake, and Hammer), not to mention practically every criminal in the New York area. While he has fought Spider-Man, the Punisher and even Captain America, his number one foe has been Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, "the Man Without Fear."
