Are there comic villains so irredeemable that they couldn't be made into heroes?

You know, besides this fucker.

Marvel is going to consider that a challenge

That... Actually looks kinda nice. For an awful Nazi monster design that is.

As for the OP:
The Joker.
Carnage.
Zzazz.
Anyone in the Spawn mythos.
Best Korea.
Mephisto.
Satan.
>>
Black Manta
>>
>>88248911
>Carnage

Do you not know of Carnage Man?
>>
>>88248942
Magic morality inversions don't count. We're talking slow-path redemption.
>>
Brainiac, not considering his awful n52 origin.
>>
>>88248911
Carnage was briefly a hero, albeit after a total personality reversal
Mephisto is secretly a good guy. He reincarnated Wanda and Vision's kids for free and helped Peter out that one time. Seriously, when has he ever done anything wrong to anyone that didn't deserve it?
DC's Satan has his own TV show where he's a hero right now.
>>
>>88248911
>The Joker
The Jester is a thing, though you could probably do a good Joker story about him trying to clean up Gotham because he thought it'd be funny for Batman to investigate what seems like it might just be a giant scheme but is really just a "I wanted to see the look on your face" thing.
>Carnage
Hasn't Carnage gone sane before?
>Zzazz
A good writer could pull a Dexter Morgan/American History X thing with Vic. Have him get out of Arkham, skip town, and go out on a search for clarity. Kill some killers on the road, try to atone, try to make his scars count and when he inevitably realizes he will never be seen as anything other than a monster, he can content himself on the scars he's stolen from the killers he's killed.
>Anyone in the Spawn Mythos
Valid.
>North Korea
Too broad, the State itself could be turned hero in the event of any number of threats a Comic could throw at it. Depends on too many factors, but I get what you mean.
>Mephisto
He's literally an embodiment of evil, so valid.
>Satan
Could be painted sympathetic, potentially even made heroic especially if you take a gnostic twist on things.
>>
>>88248550
Red Skull is more sympathetic than the heroes these days.
>>

You forgot to post that out-of-context speech without the next page that shows his followers blowing themselves up.

>Marxists are shown as pretty okay guys

What did Marvel mean by this?
>>
They're fictional characters, they're not beyond redemption since they can just be written however they want. Even Red Skull.

Did people like that story where he went on a date with Magma, or did it make them REEEEE by suggesting that he isn't totally abominable.

>>88251986
To be fair wasn't he completely abominable it's just he's willing to do "good" because it helps his evil gains.
If all the African babies die of Aids they can't do evil acts and end up in hell.
>>88252026
You'd really think Red Skull would have more perspective than to preach this shit at a guy who lived through a point in time where a good portion of America was starving to death and crime was at its nation's peak except maybe during the 90s.
>>
>>88252026
>really makes you think

No it doesn't. Also this implies Red Skull is pro gun-control because of the bumper sticker in the last panel.

>To be fair wasn't he completely abominable it's just he's willing to do "good" because it helps his evil gains.
>If all the African babies die of Aids they can't do evil acts and end up in hell.

I meant more his speech about how he sometimes wants to live normally, or how he seemed to be genuinely in love with Magma.
>>
>>88252206
Red Skull probably would be pro Gun Control if HE'S running the world.

Considering Marvel turned one of the most pure heroes evil just because, means they'd be capable of turning a nazi war criminal into a hero.

No

Carnage is literally just a serial killer with powers, Sabertooth is similarly foul, will murder anybody for fun even little children and eat them to boot

Yet Marvel has still had these guys be good, all it takes is a science or magic switcharoo of personality and all can be forgiven

Crossbones, of course.

I think Osborn once expressed admiration for him. Carnage also said he was cool in AXIS, he just didn't want to serve under him if he ever took over the world (fascism not being all that compatible with chaos and all that).

The year is 2042.

Kim Jong-ha has been named Glorious Leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, after the unfortunate and sudden passing of Kim Jung-un. And has taken over all the roles of his father, grandfather, and Eternal Leader Kim Il-sung held as well.
The following day, KJh announces to the world that he will begin unification talks with the Republic of Korea, or barring that solution, an official Peace Treaty between and recognition of both sovereign nations right to coexist.
At the following UN meeting, he announced that the DPRK will provide up to 100,000 soldiers for the Peacekeeping projects; and that family reunions split between the Korea's will not be hindered under his rule.

(add more to this, the DPRK becomes the good guy of the future)

Apparently it made them REEEEE, but I personally liked it. The reasoning he gave was sound to me.

Plus it reflected something from 'Defenders' in the Seventies, with Satan basically telling Daimon Hellstrom that, deep inside him, there is a piece of God.

I can recall two times the Joker acted as a hero. The first was in Morrison's run and the second was from the Batman TV show.
