Our rankings look mostly at the villain's impact on story and - perhaps overwhelmingly so - how we reacted to them.I know you're here, Harrison Wells, and you did not come alone. It's important to note that these rankings aren't necessarily based on number of episodes they appeared in, power levels, or anything concretely measurable. For each villain in the Top Ten we're listing out why they rank where they rank.

The same is largely true for the bottom ranks in the Dishonorable Mentions category though as the ranks get closer to the top ten, it starts to get a bit more organized. In the Largely Unnoteworthy category rank is somewhat arbitrary and largely based on how well we could recall the character without a ton of research and rewatching. For starters, we've divided the villains into categories: Not Really Villains, Largely Unnoteworthy, Dishonorable Mentions, and then the Top Ten. Because there are a lot of villains on the show, we have come up with a few general guidelines in order to do this.

That's right, from the very first metahuman Barry Allen/The Flash (Grant Gustin) fought all the way back in the series' pilot episode through to the Season 4 finale, we're taking a look at the bad guys who have menaced Team Flash and Central City over the years to come up with as close to comprehensive list and rating as we can.
