Humour: 7 football players who would make great super villains

Voldemort will always be one of the greatest super villains in pop culture

5. Zlatan Ibrahimovic as Loki

Loki is the evil brother and super villain all comic book fans love rooting for

The Marvel Cinematic Universe made Loki, son of Odin, brother of Thor, famous. And if you didn’t already know it, Loki is the God of Mischief in the pantheon of Norse gods. Traditionally depicted as mischievous, MCU did a very good job on his character development – in fact, most fans of the first Avengers movie like it because of him.

Loki is the villain everyone loves, and not just the crazy ones. He’s the bad guy who makes being a villain look fun.

And when we think of fun in football, our thoughts go immediately to Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swedish forward is definitely not a nice guy but not one of the worst either – he is famous for his arrogance and an absolute delight to behold both on and off the pitch.

He’s a formidable opponent on the field and a whole lot of fun, off it. Whether it’s his interviews, social media posts or public appearances, he never fails to amuse. The man knows how to hold your attention and makes you like him even when you don’t want to.

There’s rarely been a football player as colourful as Zlatan Ibrahimovic – there can never be a dull moment with him around
