Hello!
The attached STX list contains 44 red supergiants with apparent magnitude 8 or less (on average in case of variable stars). Most (35) are of spectral type M with the remainder of type K.
They owe their monster status to their enormous hefts and luminosities.
Good description of these monsters:
