Gonna have to go with Pyramid Head (as per my username) - It's so kick ass the only person who can kill it is itself.

I don't know if he's a hero or villain but powdered toast man! OR Darth Nihilus because his mask is made of solidified awesome.

He is actually contained within his armor, so yes I agree Darth Nihilus is solidified awesome.

Favourite Villain: The dude with the hat in Fallout 3 who tries to make you blow up Megaton. I can't remember his name for the life of me.

Mr. Burke?

I cannot believe nobody has said Jon Irenicus!

Spoiler

He is such a good villain. Sephiroth has got nothing on Jonoleth.

I would say Dr. Horrible, but by the end of the story I got the feeling that he wasn't really a villain, he just thought he was and by the time he realized it, it was too late.

Everything he wanted was everything he lost.

Well, that's the thing: He wasn't a villain at first. He was simply Billy masquerading as Dr. Horrible because he thought it was cool.

But the last song really shows how much he developed as a character: He becomes darker and edgier as the show progresses, and the loss of Penny is what tips him over the edge to become an actual villain.

At that point his agenda is no longer "Help humanity through a morally-grey set of actions", it's "Make the world pay for what it's done". Of course, on the inside he's still the same heartbroken Billy that everyone knows, but the Dr. Horrible part of him is no longer an act and it's taken over ('Now the nightmare's real, etc). Which is why in the last snippet where it cuts to Billy saying 'A thing', it's the Blog background but he's in his civvies and not his costume. It implies that the villain is having to pretend to be the man now, instead of the man pretending to be the villain like it was at first.

That is an interesting evaluation and I think I can agree, but the real problem with the assertion here is that he is the best villain ever. The only times we've ever seen him do anything evil it wasn't a villain doing it, it was billy. By the time that he is truly Doctor Horrible(which sounds better if you say it with a phony Russian accent) all of the on screen villainy was over. We didn't really see how he measured up as a villain, he has a great backstory, sure, but that alone does not make a great villain.

Ok, now that I start to think about it, Dormin from Shadow of the Colossus was an awesome baddie. I'm not sure if you can quite call him the villain but I think he still qualifies.

Also, Vergil from Devil May Cry 3. He was pretty cool too. :3

Dormin is not really a bad guy, you are the bad guy. You kill those creatures who mean you no harm because you want to resurrect a girl. You are a selfish bastard in that game.

Well, not quite. He did (sort of) trick you into doing it for his own intentions and screwed you over after that.

Bandit keith he's the only villan that makes leather look good.

 

[KingPiccolOwned]

The Elder God. Forever and ever and ever.

Err... Which one?

 

[Yegargeburble]

I personally like Sylar, myself.

If I had to pick another though, I would vote for the Joker. I like batshit insane bad guys. They're interesting.

 

[Sonicron]

The Elder God. Forever and ever and ever.

Err... Which one?

The one from the 'Legacy of Kain' series, voiced by late voice-actor Tony Jay.

 

[Necrofudge]

I likes me Magneto. He can stop Wolverine.

 

[CoverYourHead]

Many people have said Cthulhu. I instead say Yogg'Sothoth. Read the Dunwich horror, you will understand.

Oh, I know. I was being silly with my first post, anyhow. My real suggestion is Adam Monroe, simply because he was subtle, manipulative, and he didn't waste his time with petty robberies. He went straight on with his grand agenda, and though I'd like to keep more of us around than he did, he had a bit of a point.

Okay, and because he was an unstoppable drunken British samurai.

ANDREW RYAN!!!!!
He was always 3 steps ahead and wouldnt die unless on his own orders.

Why have one Elder God when you can have

Spoiler: six?

No dice. I don't know any of these figures and therefor don't care for them, whereas I know the LoK Elder God and think he's the best game villain. So there.

Ultimecia is up there. Not necessarily my favourite villain, but one of the best. Nobunaga Oda is also pretty badass in the Onimusha games, and some of the stages just kicked ass (I think I might be one of the few people who really liked that series XD).

I also subscribe to the theory that Lara Croft is evil, but, as this is all about 'best villain ever', she's disqualified for constantly falling to her death.
