Sinister Super Villains

Photoshopping Celebrities' Dark Sides

This Worth 1000 Photoshop contest challenged participants to make celebrities into super villains, and there were some particularly brilliant results.

Being from the UK, Prince Charles as a joker is just too funny. Angela Jolie as a robot is really strong as well--she really does look like a hardcore super villain.

Some of the images are so changed, however, that it is hard to tell who it is at first. I guess this is all part of the fun. Can you identify all ten celebrities?
