• 10 – Wolverine:

– A lot of people know this one because movies, cartoons and the great role played by Hugh Jackman, but, did you know that he is fluent in Japanese and Spanish (plus English)

– This character spent a long time without a good history. In Comic books he was like a bad version of Batman, but, in his new TV Series: Oliver Queen, played by Stephen Amell, spent some time in China, Some time in Russia and some time training with Ra’s al ghul. During this show, Oliver speaks English, Mandarin, Russian and Arabic, until now. Good reborn for the character.

• 7 – The Punisher:

– Frank Castle, Ex-Seal, the popular Bad*ss hero from Marvel, he is cruel, he kills the bad guys, but what not everybody knows is that Castle is a Polyglot! In the movie from 2004 with Thomas Jane, during a scene when they are reading the file about Frank, it is reviled that he speaks 5 languages.

• 6 –  Ravena (Teens titans):

– One girl! Yep, Ravena is the creepy character from DC comics, showed in a light version in the cartoon Teen Titans. She is daughter of the Demon Triggon and use dark powers saying mysterious words… But, interesting detail, Ravena speaks ga lot of languages. During one animated movie it is reviled. She speaks English, German, Romanian, Sanskrit, Latin and more languages!

• 5 – Kingpin:

– The bad guy from Marvel has a lot of versions, but recently, he appears on the Netflix’s shows Daredevil. This evil businessman is a master of strategy, and very smart, aaand.. he speaks a lot of languages…. including Mandarin and Japanese. (The actor seems to suffer to speak Mandarin hahaha, but it is a nice job!)

• 4 – Madam Gao:
