First Appearance: Batman #1
The Clown Prince of Crime is so insane, he's almost sane. His steadfast commitment to chaos is so consistent, it's almost more of a philosophy than an ailment. He seems to enjoy being locked up in Arkham Asylum to the degree where it's fair to wonder if he likes being caught. His cunning betrays a vast intelligence, but at the end of the day, he's still a psychotic, sociopathic mass murderer. - 2
First Appearance: The Amazing Spider-Man #344
Anarchist Cletus Kassidy was already a serial killer who burned down the orphanage he grew up in and killed at least 20 people before bonding with an alien symbiote that gave him super powers. There's no better way to level up your serial killer XP.- Powers & Abilities: Shapeshifting, Healing factor, Superhuman speed

First Appearance: New Mutants #98
It's hard to tell if the "Merc with a Mouth" is the craziest character in the Marvel Universe or the only sane one. Deadpool has become aware that he is a comic book character. He speaks directly to the reader, and recognizes the absurdity of his Spandexed world, but barely knows his own origin as a result of Marvel's sloppy continuity.- Powers & Abilities: Martial arts, Healing factor, Immortality, Superhuman strength, Teleportation

First Appearance: The Batman Adventures #12
Serving as a psychiatrist in Arkham Asylum, Harleen Quinzel was supposed to be one of the sane ones, but she fell in love with The Joker and joined him as his psychotic sidekick. This is what happens when mental professionals don't maintain boundaries.- Powers & Abilities: Gymnastics

First Appearance: New Mutants #25
Legion is the mutant son of Professor Charles Xavier who suffers from dissociative identity disorder. Each of his personalities is a superhero with a unique power that he can use at the expense of surrendering self-control. If he could control his powers without the mental problems, he would be the most powerful mutant ever... but he can't.- Powers & Abilities: Psychokinesis, Telepathy, Time travel, Empathy, Pyrokinesis

First Appearance: Detective Comics #66
Most of the time, when a character has a split personality, only one persona is active at a time. That's not the case with Harvey Dent. Both his good side and his bad side are always present and in control to an equal degree. Both sides know the other exists, which means the really scary thing about Two-Face is that he knows he's insane and he likes it that way.
