Does Trigon the Terrible creating his Daughter Raven count? Legit creating the one being to destroy Trigon.

Don’t forget this exchange! “You took everything from me!” “I don’t even know who you are.”
I would also mention the Joker and Red Hood, since the clown murdering Jason Todd leads the resurrected ex-Robin to assume the Joker's past identity and go on murderous crusade to find him and end him.
Loki. Both in the mainstream comic book continuity and the MCU, the God of Mischief sets up an elaborate scheme to set the heroes, including his brother, against each other, only to instead motivate them to band together to defeat him. Effectively creating The Avengers!

the brighter the light the greater the shadow cast by it however the shadow cannot exist without out the light. like all dynamically opposed forces/concepts/groups Heroes and Villains can only exist together if one side were to vanish the other would eventually follow.
Flash and Reverse Flash are connected , if Flash prevented that Eobard Thawne became Reverse Flash ...there were no Flash ?? Loki is the villain responsable for creating the Avengers

You mentioned Wonder Man but not that he is also on the list, When Simon Williams learned that his brother the Grim Reaper was using their company's tech for evil. He confronted him. His brother threw Simon into the energy field the machines were making to kill him. Instead they turned him into ionic energy and eventually Wonder Man.

@@bizzarono1 pretty sure Simon Williams became Wonder Man thanks to Baron Zemo (Avengers, 1963, Issue #9). Williams was an inventor, like Stark, but Stark ends up putting him out of business. Desperate, he volunteered to be a guinea pig for Zemo’s experiments. Zemo gave him several treatments with IIRC, “Vita Rays”, which gave him his powers. But he needs daily medication, or he will die. He joins the Avengers, and intends to betray them to Zemo, but sees how noble they are, and turns on him. In doing so, he no longer gets the daily medication he needs, and “dies” as a result. Williams eventually returns, as his “death” was actually just his body needing time to transform into the ionic energy that he eventually becomes. Wonder Man was always one of my favourite characters. He ends up forming a firm friendship with Hank McCoy (Beast), and becomes a movie star, saving movie companies a fortune in special effects, as his indestructible body negates the need for them. He also becomes a pacifist, but does help out in times of great need, whether it be on the sidelines, helping out in disasters, or tackling minions and villains that are not “alive”, such as robots. Bonus fact: Unless this is retconned, Simon Williams is played by Nathan Fillion in the MCU (poster only, to date). You can see Fillion on a movie poster in one of the MCU movies (or possibly a Tom Holland Spider-Man movie) with the text “starring Simon Williams” emblazoned on it. Honestly, I think this is brilliant casting, and they should bring him onboard in a future Avengers movie (or perhaps a “Vision” movie?).

Interesting that you went along with the classic origin for Prof. X and not the later story from Cain's viewpoint which suggested Charles had distorted his stepfather in his recollection.
For a more Eastern example, how about Freeza? If he hadn't attempted genocide on the Saiyan Race, perhaps Goku wouldn't have eventually defeated him. And when he attempted to destroy the Earth, he was killed by Trunks; the son of Vegeta, who Freeza had kept under his thumb for decades.

Yes, though in actual lore it is WAY more complicated aka half of Primes are evil... you know... Soundwave (Logos/Quintus Prime), Shockwave (Onyx Prime) and Starscream (Liege Maximo) are actually Primes. It also include Sideways aka Amalgamous Prime and Megatron is really good actor though 👍 Though Predaking/Megatron II (Megatronus/Fallen) he is not. PS: Optimus Prime is himself and Optimus Primal is Prima/Oracle.
Good list. If there's a Part 2 to this video, I'd put Red Tornado & Tomorrow Woman VS T.O. Morrow on that video.
Forgot thanos n Gamora
Dunno if this counts because it’s manga and not technically a comic book series in the traditional sense but I would argue that Frieza created 2 of his own worst enemies, both Goku and Vegeta. Goku would’ve never learned the martial arts that he learned on Earth and by extension the afterlife if Frieza never attacked Planet Vegeta causing Goku’s father to send him away all Kal-El style. Frieza also didn’t do himself any favors by treating Vegeta and the rest of the surviving Saiyans like slaves to help his empire grow.

It maybe in the cartoon and not necessarily in the comics, but megatron created optimus prime in transformers. In the episode ‘war dawn’ it shows just before the war megatron befriends a bot called orion pax, who one day shows megatron around the dock he works at. When megatron sees its full of energon that he wants he soots orion and attacks the dock. Orion is taken to alpha trion who then rebuilds him into optimus prime. When megatron is confronted by him ne asks who he is before optimus replies “your worst nightmare!”.
I'd say Reverse Flash belongs on this list. Maybe not in creating The Flash's powers, but his tendency for time travel vengeance in reverse Not only is partially responsible for Barry Allen's morals, but for creating the antagonism against him in the first place

Not a comic book character but definitely a superhero, most Masked Riders origins are tied to thier villians. The Showa era were usually granted powers by the villian only to rebel against them. And most of the Heisei Riders have some link between them and the villians (like in Faiz and Kabuto the belts and weapons were made by the villians).

The Kingpin and Frank castle: Way to go Kingpin have a mob war in a park and kill some family members of a former CIA agent no matter which verison you have it’s some bag element or mafia etc that made The Punisher Happen.
