Whatnerd's 15 Best Origin Story Movies (Both Heroes and Villains)

"In a world of expanding franchises and multiverses, origin story movies play a key role in the development of our favorite characters. From heroic superheroes to dastardly villains and all the offbeat characters in between, it's always interesting to see how these infamous figures came to be who they are. And in some cases, when one origin story fails, it's fun to see the next attempt at it. Indeed, there are so many character origin movies out there, and plenty of them have bombed—or, at the very least, have been forgotten due to their extreme mediocrity and/or empty fan service. It's rare for a movie like this to be downright awesome, but it does happen from time to time. Here are my picks for the best character origin movies ever made and why they stand out!" - whatnerd.com
