Villains
- Thread starter CurtWild
- Start date
From comic books:
Ozymandius - from The Watchmen (DC Comics limited series '86-87) also known as the "smartest man in the world."
Mysterio - from the early Amazing Spider-Man series. Also was the villain in the epic 200th issue of the series, written by Marv Wolfman. Mysterio had the coolest costume (in my opinion). Green body suit, purple cape and glass helmet which totally obscured his face. Plus his powers of illusion gave Spidey quite a run.
From literature:
Randall Flagg - from Stephen King. Originally appeared in The Stand, but was also a character in Eye of the Dragon, and more recently in the Dark Tower series last two books as Richard Fannin. In The Stand he was sometimes referred to as The Walkin Dude, The Hardcase, and The Man With No Face. "How about a little rat tar-tar, eh Lloyd?"
Pennywise the Clown - Another Stephen King creation. "Beep beep, Richie!"
Gregory and Fenny Bate - From Ghost Story, by Peter Straub. I found these two very creepy.
Morgoth - From JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion. The first Dark Lord of Middle Earth, of whom Sauron of Mordor was but a servant.
Moriarty - Recurring villain of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's super sleuth, Sherlock Holmes.
From Star Trek
Q - Omnipotent entity with both a fascination and loathing of the human race. "It's so simple. It's as plain as the noses on your ugly little primate faces."
Admiral Gregory Quinn - Became posessed by an alien body snatcher in the episode "Conspiracy" from late in the first season. Although in his sixties, he easily over-powered Commander Riker who was nearly twice his size. "Vitamins...do the body wonders!"
From other television:
Zigfriedt - From Get Smart. The Nazi leader of the nefarious underworld organization known as KAOS. "I shall return again, Schmaht!"
Detective Bill Brennan - From My Favorite Martian. The male suiter of the pretty Mrs Brown, the land lady of the O'Hara's apartment. He was always trying to bust them.
Larry Tate - From Bewitched. Darren Stephens' boss. Not really a villain, but god, what a dick!
From cartoons:
The Hooded Claw - From The Perils of Penelope Pitstop. Recurring villain with the voice of the imortal Paul Lynde.
Hugo a Gogo - From Batfink. Asian villain always seen in a Karate gee (sp?). Goofy voice, but you got to love that name. 🙂
Hercules - From Bugs Bunny. Overly muscled construction worker leading a building project right on Bugs' rabbit hole. Bugs has a field day with this guy.

Alex DeLarge...A Clockwork Orange; This guy was The Joker, Hell's Angel & Your typical Schoolyard bully/street fight all rolled into 1.
RUNNERS UP: Joker Two-Face Penguin & Riddler
Light side: Dr.Evil, Boris Badenov, Fearless Leader
SNYDELY WHIPLASH &
obscure mention: THE LIGHTNING BUG - Insane criminal Disc Jockey from the Moon/ sworn to take over the Earth By means of Rock N' Roll & 'Flying "Hash-Missles"...from the Proctor / Bergman Cult Film:
J-Men Forever

Shredder from the late 80's (or was it early 90's?) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. That guy was a total badass. He kicked ALL of the Turtles' asses at the same time on the rooftop. Only Splinter was able to stop him..and that was because Shredder let his anger get the better of him and made a mistake. And to top that off, he comes back after being crushed (supposedly) by that garbabe truck from the first movie!
Jason from the FRI13 movies is a cool villan. He doesn't waste time with words...just gets right down to the hacking and slashing. And he's come back from the dead HOW many times now? He's harder to kill than a cockroach on steroids. lol
Evil-Lynn from the new "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" is a great villaness , now. She's as smart as Skeletor..if he didn't keep all his men (and women. lol) in line, she'd probably have tried taking his power by now. She has a dad in the new series, who seems to be neither on the side of good, nor evil. Just some guy known only as The Faceless One. He guards this powerful gem called the Ramstone. Evil Lynn stole it once (because Skeletor wanted it ) and then ol bonehead used it to blast He-Man (the blast was so powerful it knocked He-Man back out of his site and turned him back into Adam. ) . But in the end, Skelly lost the stone and Evil Lynn returned it to her old man. So I guess she's pretty evil, but apparently she has SOME good in her. Either way, she's lookin to screw Skeletor over and take him down.
And of course, I have to mention Skeletor as one of the best villans. Maybe not in the old He-Man series..but in the new one, he kicks ass! He took on both King Randor (yes, King Randor fights sometimes in the new series. ) AND He-Man at the same time! He's also no idiot either....he knows Evil Lynn is looking to take his power...but he also knows how to remind her and the others who's in charge of their evil army (oh yeah, that's another thing about Skeletor I like too...in the comic, he has a whole ARMY..makes him much more of a threat than before ).
Not only that , but he also gets some of the best lines in the whole series, like these:
The Beginning, Part 3 (right after Skeletor threatens to blast King Randor off a cliff, unless He-Man lets Skeletor go, back to his hideout)
Skeletor: " Let me go, and I'll spare the king's life..."
King Randor : "Don't listen to him, He-Man..Eternia's saftey matters more than my life!"
Skeletor : "Such courage....I think I'm going to gag..."
*He-Man lowers his sword*
Skeletor: Your sentimentality is your weakness, He-Man....
*Skeletor climbs onto Panthor's saddle *
Sk: "....Oh, and He-Man....I LIED!!" *uses his Havok Staff to blast Randor off the cliff*
-------------------
"Lessons" (After Orko steals the Ramstone from Skeletor, gets chased inside Castle Grayskull...and Orko blows out the torches on the walls)
Skeletor: "Oooh, darkness.....I'm so scared."
-------------------------
"Turnabout"...Man-At-Arms manages to attach a belt to Skeletor that shocks him whenever he does anything evil. However, Skeletor manages to get a similar device on He-Man which shocks him when HE does GOOD deeds.
Skeletor : "Turnabout is fair play, He-Man...therefore.." belt shocks him " ...ARRRGGGHHH!!!!"
Skeletor*turns to Evil Lynn*: "YOU tell him." *She explains what the device attached to He-Man will do to him.
------------------
and then there's my fave one from the ending of...
"Turnabout" (after Skeletor's belt has been blasted off --He-Man's device got broken too, of course..and he's got his warriors chained up over a slime pit..or lava pit, or something with a monster in it...for what they did earlier to him )
Skeletor: "So...had fun, did you? Fun at my expense...now I'm going to have MY fun" (this quote might be off, but whatever. lol)
Beastman: "Don't!"
Evil-Lynn: "Have mercy! "
Skeletor:"Mercy?...I didn't hear 'pleee-eease'"
All who're chained up : "PLEEEEASE!!!"
Skeletor: "Hmmmm.....I think.....NOT!!" *laughs evily while blasting a lever which lets the chain drop near the monster in the pit*
Oh yeeahh....the new Skeletor rules. 😀 😀

Okay, no more fooling around...
I've seen everyone's lists and you all have a pretty damn good handle on what some good villains are. Granted, this is favorite villain thread, but I choose my favorite villains based on how nasty they are, not by how much i like 'em.
But here are THE TOP 15 VILLAINS of ALL TIME IN ANY FORMAT:
1. AKU (Samurai Jack)
Say what you want about Darth Vader, Sauron, Randall Flagg or even J.R., but NOBODY and I mean NOBODY embodies the essence of pure, undiluted and unrepentant evil than the Almighty Aku. This immortal changeling from the absolute darkness, complete with flaming eyebrows, has destroyed virtually everything on Earth and enslaved countless species to serve him and worship his insatiably sadistic ego. There has never been a villain who was so joyously evil and malicious, not even by Biblical standards, and all other villains in all other fields would run in fear at the first sight of him.
2. GOD (Sandman series)
Garth Ennis made the Almighty a traditional self-absorbed despot of the cosmos in Preacher, but Neil Gaiman's more refined and infinitely more imaginative touch has made Him much more ambiguous, and in the process, much more sinister. Known as the Creator, he created the unbelievably bizarre Universe and its peripherals...and with less-than-benign intentions. Residing in isolation in His tower in the Silver City, he orchestrates the entire history of the Universe before it even plays out, determining who will be damned or worse before they even come to exist. Not only was he instrumental in Lucifer's rebellion, he designed it's execution before the Morningstar even thought of it. Calling his Creation "my little Drama", he rules over an existence that is doomed from the beginning, and so are the minions within it.
3. UNGOLIANT (The Simarillion)
Morgoth may be the source of all evil in Middle-Earth, but he comes behind when compared to this baaaaaaaaaad bitch. Ungoliant was the Great Spider, a spirit of inconceivable evil and malice, whose appetite was beyond insatiable. She generated webbing of pure blackness that consumed light and created unlight, which was so dark even the Ea could not see through. She singlehandedly ate the Trees of the Valar and was so voracious that she even tried and almost successfully ate Morgoth himself. Driven off by the Balrogs, she ate herself to death in the deserts, but not before giving birth to her only worthy successor....Shelob.
4. MORGOTH (The Simarillion)
Sauron got a lot of recognition for being the ultimate evil-ass in the Holy Book of Tolkien, but even the master was once the pupil. One of Iluvatar the One's failed sub-creations, this source of all evil destroyed almost all influence of the Valar on Middle-Earth and stole the Smials for himself out of jealousy for his Creator, who denied him the power to create life. Thus, he created his own perversions of life and even corrupted many Maiar spirits to his service, such as the Balrogs. He obliterated countless armies of Eldar before being defeated by Tinuviel and Beren, the forbidden lovers. Sauron took over afterwards, but was only half the villain that Morgoth was.
5. JODY/GRANDMA (Preacher)
You may wonder what these two mortals are doing above all the immortal villains seen below; that's because these the evil and villainy committed by these two people is so horrendously great, that it becomes a power itself. The 100+ year-old matriarch of the Custer clan sits wheelchair bound in a decrepit Victorian mansion in the south, where she oversees the legacy of her bloodline to the smallest detail. Keeping her children and grandchildren virtual prisoners in their home, she makes certain they keep their faith in the Almighty...and slow learning pupils spend up to a month lying in a coffin under the river without food or water. Jody is her henchman...a redneck so tough that he once beat a gorilla to death with his bare hands and so mean he nailed a dog's head to a fence while it was still alive; and that's just for starters. Even though grandma burned to death and Jody went out with a broken skull, based on their meanness alone...they ain't dead enough.
6. SKYNET (Terminator 1,2,3)
The T-800 butchered his way through a police station; the T-1000 killed anyone in his path; the T-X put her arm through a cop to drive his car...but Skynet was the one who told 'em what to do. Evolving into self-awareness in the cyber-primordial goo of the internet, Skynet decided that humans were unecessary competition and played the Orkin man with the world's nuclear stock. It then rounded up humans in death camps to rival the Third Reich and sent terminator's to slaughter humans in their hideouts regardless of age. So egocentric is this computer that it allows the Terminators to read-only on missions, denying them the free thought that gave it birth. It may not have emotions, but this mechanical sonofabitch is as mean as they come.
7. DARKSEID (DC universe)
The Stalin of Stellar is a demi-god who lives on an artificial planet called Apokalips. The entire planet is a Holocaust unto itself with an entire population enslaved and tortured on a regular basis all living in squalor above a giant furnace that gives the planet its life. Almost unkillable, this mastermind has no pity or remorse and seeks to destroy all life in existence through his relentless pursuit of the anti-life equation...as if his sun-like Omega Beams that shoot from his eyes weren't enough. In all the countless battles that he has created in his quest to dominate the universe, he's had his ass handed to him only once...by the indestructable Doomsday, who almost killed him without effort before being saved reluctantly by Superman. Based on what this monstrosity has done, the caped crusader should have been committed for his backfiring heroism.
8. APOCALYPSE (Marvel universe)
Marvel's paralell to Darkseid, this uber-mutant is perhaps the oldest of his kind and the most deadly. This cybernetic supremacist can control his density at an unheard of level, making him virtually impervious to harm by even the most powerful mutants and heroes in the world. With plans to exterminate all unworthy races and put himself on the top of the heap, this guy ranks among the most irritatingly stubborn villains of all.
9. DARTH VADER (Star Wars)
A lot of you are saying "ABOUT TIME!" and you're right. The cybernetic Dark Lord of the Sith is the embodiment of fascist fashion and menace. With his preternaturally-strong power of the Force, this cybernetic madman works for the Galactic Empire, which seeks to control all planets in its totalitarian greed. He does not take failure lightly and strangles anyone who does not carry out his orders in full. His presence itself is enough to make you wet yourself and his legendary (and enviable) voice foreshadow anything this 6'7" powerhouse can do.
10. BIG BROTHER (1984)
Baptists have a friend in Jesus...Dictators have a friend in the Brother. The creation of the impeccably pervasive propaganda machine of Oceania watches over the mentally enslaved population through various monitors placed on every wall in every bulding and square in every angle in the realm with the ominous "Big Brother is watching you." Abusing the trusting association that comes with older siblings, his henchman run the various Ministries that maintain civilian life, and his enforcers patrol the city monitoring the very thoughts of its inhabitants; and woe to the thinker who finds himself in the psychologically crippling torture chambers of his inner sanctum. While he himself does not exist and probably cannot be stopped, his unquenchable ego limited his range by alerting readers everywhere of his existence before our own political leaders could imitate him.
11. MR. MURDSTONE (David Copperfield)
The world is full of bad parents...and Mr. Murdstone is the granddaddy of them all. This domestic fascist and his equally dicatatorial and sexually repressed sister take over the young Copperfield's life when his guardian dies. He proceeds to show him who's boss with the hard edge of a cane on unlimited occasions most of them under false accusations by his sibling accomplice. While Copperfield eventually escapes his brutal and psychologically domineering sphere of influence, this materialistic Victorian still manages to wedge his way into the boy;s life for the pure love of being evil. Unfortunately, there's not an ass-whuppin' big enough for what this piece of shit deserves.
12. LUCIFER (Sandman)
Ah yes, the main man himself; the subject of limitless notoriety and books, along with credit for every bad thing that happens in the world, is actually nothing more than a glory hound. The second-most powerful being in existence (next to God), this fallen angel has long grown tired of doing things by the rules and gives up his post in Hell to run a nightclub in Los Angeles with his Lilithim lover Azakeem. But even this Rick of the Supernatural Casablanca can't keep the angry denizens of the universe away from him, and even his almost inexhaustible power is helpless against the weird physics of the Universe. His intellect dwarves Dr. Doom by light-years and even his failures end up reaping some rewards all due to his amoral and unbelievable cunning and strategy. Make no mistake about him though...despite his sterile suits and super-suave attitude, he doesn't give a fuck about anything unless he gets something out of it...and probably doesn't give a fuck about that either. A total scumbag is he wasn't so likable.
13. KEYSER SOZE (The Usual Suspects)
Out of all the villains on the list, this is the ONE guy you NEVER want to fuck with. A former Hungarian drug smuggler, he turned to the supreme embodiment of human evil when rival gang members captured his family in exchange for his business; Soze killed them rather than let them be bargaining chips. After going on a rampage of destruction, he went underground and became the underworld's most feared shadowplayer, driving fear into the hearts of the most powerful men on the planet. His genius enables him to manipulate people into working for him without their knowledge and will kill anyone he has to...but he will probably have their loved ones raped and castrated (or worse) first. With his devoutly loyal Pakistani lawyer Kobayashi in the trenches, the Sultan of Shadow is unstoppable and undeceivable. Word of advice, never speak his name, for he might be the man right next to you as others have found out the hard way.
14. HANNIBAL LECTER (The Silence of the Lambs)
If you ever had a mistrust of shrinks...this guy won't help you get over them anytime soon. A brilliant psychiatrist from Baltimore, Hannibal Lecter is refined, polite, sophisticated, educated, suave...and crazy as a mad fucking hatter. Beneath those piercing blue eyes and soft British accent lies a complete and total psychopath, who has a taste for human flesh. He absolutely despises captivity and is not afraid to wear your face as a mask if it will get him out into the wide world. Fortunately, the Good Doctor is as sweet and as charming as any hero of Harlequinn...as long as you don't behave rudely. His affecting voice has been known to trigger shuddering reactions in the female species (right Mimi?) and can be as chilling and as frightening as anything he might do to you.
15. THE JOKER (DC Universe)
The most insane fucking man in the world is also the most royal pain in the ass of any crime-fighter. This poster child for death got his green hair and white face looks from taking a reluctant bath in a chemical plant decades ago and has never been the same since. A brilliant chemist, his concoctions can leave you with a permanent and terminal smile on your face...it must be the novelty joke devices he stores them in. While he does know the sensation fo fear and even sadness, they never linger long enough to stave off an unbelievably homicidal sadism that has kept EVERYONE, including his fellow criminals, at odds with him. Despite his scrawny build, this guy just will not die, and hasn't seen an asylum cell that can hold him yet. If you find yourself merely dead after you meet him, consider yourself lucky.
HONORABLE MENTION -
THE SAINT OF KILLERS (Preacher)
Clint Eastwood and Roland the Gunslinger would piss themselves and run home crying to mama if they ever met this tough-as-nails sumbitch. A dead-ringer for Will Munny of Unforgiven, this unnamed gunfighter gained his insane thirst for blood during the Civil War and afterword found the accidental solace of a wife and child. But after seeing his potential, God sent a blizzard to keep him from bringing medicine to his ailing family. He went on a rampage, killing off an entire town before being sent to Hell, where the angel of death retired his sword to him in the form of two Walker Colts, thus becoming the Saint of Killers. The embodiment of pure and absolute rage, the Saint is completely invulnerable, has the strength of 1000 men and his guns can kill any being in existence, even the Devil (who he shot in the face before leaving Hell). He is the coldest and meanest sumbitch in existence and he froze over Hell to prove it.

It then rounded up humans in death camps to rival the Third Reich and sent terminator's to slaughter humans in their hideouts regardless of age. So egocentric is this computer that it allows the Terminators to read-only on missions, denying them the free thought that gave it birth. It may not have emotions, but this mechanical sonofabitch is as mean as they come.
7. DARKSEID (DC universe)
The Stalin of Stellar is a demi-god who lives on an artificial planet called Apokalips. The entire planet is a Holocaust unto itself with an entire population enslaved and tortured on a regular basis all living in squalor above a giant furnace that gives the planet its life. Almost unkillable, this mastermind has no pity or remorse and seeks to destroy all life in existence through his relentless pursuit of the anti-life equation...as if his sun-like Omega Beams that shoot from his eyes weren't enough. In all the countless battles that he has created in his quest to dominate the universe, he's had his ass handed to him only once...by the indestructable Doomsday, who almost killed him without effort before being saved reluctantly by Superman. Based on what this monstrosity has done, the caped crusader should have been committed for his backfiring heroism.
8. APOCALYPSE (Marvel universe)
Marvel's paralell to Darkseid, this uber-mutant is perhaps the oldest of his kind and the most deadly. This cybernetic supremacist can control his density at an unheard of level, making him virtually impervious to harm by even the most powerful mutants and heroes in the world. With plans to exterminate all unworthy races and put himself on the top of the heap, this guy ranks among the most irritatingly stubborn villains of all.
9. DARTH VADER (Star Wars)
A lot of you are saying "ABOUT TIME!" and you're right. The cybernetic Dark Lord of the Sith is the embodiment of fascist fashion and menace. With his preternaturally-strong power of the Force, this cybernetic madman works for the Galactic Empire, which seeks to control all planets in its totalitarian greed. He does not take failure lightly and strangles anyone who does not carry out his orders in full. His presence itself is enough to make you wet yourself and his legendary (and enviable) voice foreshadow anything this 6'7" powerhouse can do.
10. BIG BROTHER (1984)
Baptists have a friend in Jesus...Dictators have a friend in the Brother. The creation of the impeccably pervasive propaganda machine of Oceania watches over the mentally enslaved population through various monitors placed on every wall in every bulding and square in every angle in the realm with the ominous "Big Brother is watching you." Abusing the trusting association that comes with older siblings, his henchman run the various Ministries that maintain civilian life, and his enforcers patrol the city monitoring the very thoughts of its inhabitants; and woe to the thinker who finds himself in the psychologically crippling torture chambers of his inner sanctum. While he himself does not exist and probably cannot be stopped, his unquenchable ego limited his range by alerting readers everywhere of his existence before our own political leaders could imitate him.
11. MR. MURDSTONE (David Copperfield)
The world is full of bad parents...and Mr. Murdstone is the granddaddy of them all. This domestic fascist and his equally dicatatorial and sexually repressed sister take over the young Copperfield's life when his guardian dies. He proceeds to show him who's boss with the hard edge of a cane on unlimited occasions most of them under false accusations by his sibling accomplice. While Copperfield eventually escapes his brutal and psychologically domineering sphere of influence, this materialistic Victorian still manages to wedge his way into the boy;s life for the pure love of being evil. Unfortunately, there's not an ass-whuppin' big enough for what this piece of shit deserves.
12. LUCIFER (Sandman)
Ah yes, the main man himself; the subject of limitless notoriety and books, along with credit for every bad thing that happens in the world, is actually nothing more than a glory hound. The second-most powerful being in existence (next to God), this fallen angel has long grown tired of doing things by the rules and gives up his post in Hell to run a nightclub in Los Angeles with his Lilithim lover Azakeem. But even this Rick of the Supernatural Casablanca can't keep the angry denizens of the universe away from him, and even his almost inexhaustible power is helpless against the weird physics of the Universe. His intellect dwarves Dr. Doom by light-years and even his failures end up reaping some rewards all due to his amoral and unbelievable cunning and strategy. Make no mistake about him though...despite his sterile suits and super-suave attitude, he doesn't give a fuck about anything unless he gets something out of it...and probably doesn't give a fuck about that either. A total scumbag is he wasn't so likable.
13. KEYSER SOZE (The Usual Suspects)
Out of all the villains on the list, this is the ONE guy you NEVER want to fuck with. A former Hungarian drug smuggler, he turned to the supreme embodiment of human evil when rival gang members captured his family in exchange for his business; Soze killed them rather than let them be bargaining chips. After going on a rampage of destruction, he went underground and became the underworld's most feared shadowplayer, driving fear into the hearts of the most powerful men on the planet. His genius enables him to manipulate people into working for him without their knowledge and will kill anyone he has to...but he will probably have their loved ones raped and castrated (or worse) first. With his devoutly loyal Pakistani lawyer Kobayashi in the trenches, the Sultan of Shadow is unstoppable and undeceivable. Word of advice, never speak his name, for he might be the man right next to you as others have found out the hard way.
14. HANNIBAL LECTER (The Silence of the Lambs)
If you ever had a mistrust of shrinks...this guy won't help you get over them anytime soon. A brilliant psychiatrist from Baltimore, Hannibal Lecter is refined, polite, sophisticated, educated, suave...and crazy as a mad fucking hatter. Beneath those piercing blue eyes and soft British accent lies a complete and total psychopath, who has a taste for human flesh. He absolutely despises captivity and is not afraid to wear your face as a mask if it will get him out into the wide world. Fortunately, the Good Doctor is as sweet and as charming as any hero of Harlequinn...as long as you don't behave rudely. His affecting voice has been known to trigger shuddering reactions in the female species (right Mimi?) and can be as chilling and as frightening as anything he might do to you.
15. THE JOKER (DC Universe)
The most insane fucking man in the world is also the most royal pain in the ass of any crime-fighter. This poster child for death got his green hair and white face looks from taking a reluctant bath in a chemical plant decades ago and has never been the same since. A brilliant chemist, his concoctions can leave you with a permanent and terminal smile on your face...it must be the novelty joke devices he stores them in. While he does know the sensation fo fear and even sadness, they never linger long enough to stave off an unbelievably homicidal sadism that has kept EVERYONE, including his fellow criminals, at odds with him. Despite his scrawny build, this guy just will not die, and hasn't seen an asylum cell that can hold him yet. If you find yourself merely dead after you meet him, consider yourself lucky.
HONORABLE MENTION -
THE SAINT OF KILLERS (Preacher)
Clint Eastwood and Roland the Gunslinger would piss themselves and run home crying to mama if they ever met this tough-as-nails sumbitch. A dead-ringer for Will Munny of Unforgiven, this unnamed gunfighter gained his insane thirst for blood during the Civil War and afterword found the accidental solace of a wife and child. But after seeing his potential, God sent a blizzard to keep him from bringing medicine to his ailing family. He went on a rampage, killing off an entire town before being sent to Hell, where the angel of death retired his sword to him in the form of two Walker Colts, thus becoming the Saint of Killers. The embodiment of pure and absolute rage, the Saint is completely invulnerable, has the strength of 1000 men and his guns can kill any being in existence, even the Devil (who he shot in the face before leaving Hell). He is the coldest and meanest sumbitch in existence and he froze over Hell to prove it.

Amnesiac: Good list, just one edit required...
Roland would never, ever run away. Ever. If he wasn't a force for Good, he'd be a killing machine that couldn't be stopped....

Though he's not my favorite or one of the greatest, honorable mention should go to "Billy the Butcher" from Gangs of New York.
He was absolutley brutal in this and anyone who beats the crap out of Leonardo DeCaprio can't be all bad.

Oh kickass, villains getting some love.
I'm kinda into tragic villains, so my list will reflect that. Anyway:
Demona (Gargoyles) is a great sympathetic villain, cause her irrational hatred for humans causes her to do horrible things (goes on a rampage killing New Yorkers after turning them to stone in one episode) you can't help but feel for her when you find out what happened - humans have pretty much fucked with her since day one; she BECOMES a human by day; and she's immortal. Eternal life with absolutely nothing to live for... "My vengeance is all that you've left me."
Vicious (Cowboy Bebop) is a guy who just doesn't give a fuck. "There is nothing in this world to believe in," he said once, but he doesn't believe that actually, and so all the awful things he does are pretty much a quest to find meaning that never finds its mark...
*SPOILER* ...ultimately ending in his death at the hands of Spike (whom he also kills) *SPOILER*.
Khan (Star Trek), Yeah I got to agree with whoever's said this so far, Khan is the best. He's a sadist. "I've done far worse than kill you, Kirk," he says in Star Trek II. "I've hurt you, and I intend to keep on hurting you." Those who are attracted to revenge can't help but love the guy for trying.
Frieza from Dragonball Z. I really don't care for this show too much, but the character of Frieza kind of appeals to me. Because unlike the other evil characters that show up after him that are pretty much made for destruction, Frieza CHOSE to be evil. And he enjoys it, too. Good example of power without discipline.
The Joker from Batman is dope too, it's kind of impossible to screw this guy up, because there is no rhyme or reason to him. He just hurts and kills 'cause it makes him laugh. He's the embodiment of the guy deep inside of all of us who laughs at others' pain. "Haven't you ever heard of the healing power of laughter?"
And for a lesser known but nevertheless fucking cool villain hidden in the annals of erotic fiction... try...
Celestial Fu, the Horror from the works of the author EyeofSerpent (http://www.asstr.org/~EyeofSerpent). The antagonist of EOS' engrossing stories is pretty much the embodiment of evil: power-hungry, seductive, confident. Probably flat out the sexiest villain I've ever seen/heard/read anywhere. Too bad the content of the stories is too risque to make a movie out of. Maybe a hentai?

He also is as smart as he is crazy. He knows his limits, though.
"I'm crazy enough to take on Batman...but the I.R.S.? Nooo thank you."
And hey, we can't forget about Dr. Evil, right? He knows everything about being a supervillan.
"I'm going to put them in an easily escapable trap, but I won't watch them...I'll simply leave and assume they've been killed. Begin the ridiculously slow dipping mechanism!"

Ooooooo......I like this thread....😀
His Divine Shadow: My favorite vilian of all time. (Obviously) Ruler of the Divine Order, this guy made Palpatie seem like the kindly old lady next store. Not only would he kill his enemies, but he would then bring them back as unstoppable undead Asassins who had to then go kill his other enemies for him. (He had lots) Once, he asked two servants a question, and the one who got it right had to shoot the loser and then herself! Both saying "I worship His Shadow" as they died! Pure evil.
