Just curious to see who everyone's all-time favorite villain(s) were and why. I've always identified with the villain so I find this sort of thing interesting.
Mine: Freddy Krueger - There's just something about Freddy that set him apart from the others in my mind. Freddy made no bones about the fact that he liked what he did...and the grislier the better. Not only that, Freddy had Panache. Freddy had style. Freddy had imagination.

And you've gotta admitt, the claw was cool.
Runners up: Darth Vader
Thanos
The Tall Man
Grand Admiral Thrawn
