Favorite (Children's) Cartoon Villain

[Thaius]

Azula. For sure.

Not sure if it counts, considering the main audience is teens and college students, but Avatar: The Last Airbender is an animated kid show, so it should count. And Azula is one of the best villains ever: awesomely powerful, smooth, agile, manipulative, and just plain evil. And dang, her voice was so perfect for the part. Her introduction marked the beginning of a much more mature show.

If you haven't seen Avatar: The Last Airbender, start at the beginning and enjoy that masterful fantasy epic.

Yeah, although I'm amazed that you didn't mention the titular character from which your avatar is borne.

Spoiler: Zim.

True enough, Zim gets a shout-out for being awesome (as well as one of the very, very few good Nick shows as of late). That is an amazing show, for sure, but Zim's reasons for being a great villain are different from those of Azula: Zim is more for comedic effect, obviously, whereas Azula is pretty much Satanspawn. Zim is great, but I'd personally have to put Azula first. Avatar is my favorite show, after all...

Well, I would agree to that. Although Zim has a bigger kill count (of his own side) after Operation Impending Doom 1...

What about Tak though? She's a lot like Azula, in a turn-the-earth-into-a-pinata sort of way.

You do have a point there, I suppose. But I think Tak would have gotten more points had the show been allowed to continue: the very few story points Invader Zim actually expanded on would have made for very interesting stuff later on, but it was canceled... I hate Nick, just for that. Well, that and the fact that they made Spongebob, the archenemy of intelligence.

Anyway, I guess it's largely because Azula has a much more complex past, along with her relation to the other characters in the show. I found her character to be much more compelling.

Agreed on everything. Azula is a wonderfully manipulative ***** and even more of a threat that Ozai. And yes, Avatar is masterfully epic and the greatest thing Nick has ever done in my opinion.

Does Count Duckula count as a villain?

I know he was the main character, but he wasn't exactly the nice guy of the show

If not then... I'd have to go with Wile E. Coyote as well.

 

[PiggyJibbleFish]

Snidely Whiplash from the old Dudley Do Right cartoon

 

[oppp7]

Tom from Tom and Jerry.

 

[Kiutu]

Can only be one:

To label him a villian is to go against Nature.
Way to support PETA, a real villian.

Sawboss was one creepy f*ck. That show had one of the greatest intros ever.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

I think he was the bad guy.

 

[Nicragomi]

Captain Bloth from "Pirates of Dark Water"

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

Maleficent for sheer holy-fuck-we're-boned villainy

for awesometastitude, Ganon. fear his piggy wrath.

 

[Deguasser]

Anyone from Capitan Planet

Maybe this is kind of an obscure reference, but I.R. Baboon from `I am weasel` is my favourite villain. I just love the way he is always set up to pernanmently loose by someone voiced by Micheal Dorn. It is like a metaphor for life.

I remember that, it was like a partner show to cow and chicken on cartoon network right.
Anyways my vote would go for the joker from the animated batman.

 

[GhostXIII]

Ok, here goes the first thread entry ever on Escpist,
Fave Cartoon Villian? Xanatos from Gargoyles, smooth ass bad guy,
Either that or Hades from Disneys Hercules,

And done, cool, catch you later guys,

 

[Lord Beautiful]

I'm going with Cell from Dragon Ball Z. In spite of me not being all that fond of the Cell Saga, I rather liked Perfect Cell. He was delightfully evil and demented, and yet he presented himself in such a way that he didn't really come off as sick, but as arrogant and abominable in a playful sort of way.

 

[Magnatek]

the Krank (how do you spell that?) sisters.

Ed, Edd, and Eddy? That's the Kanker sisters. Mine had to be Doctor Mystico, or Invisibo. Heck, any villain from Freakazoid was gold!

 

[dekkarax]

Mr Freeze from the Batman animated series was a good bad guy.

 

[Skreeee]

Gargamel baby.

 

[MrMisfit]

Dick dastardly.

Totally

I mean how can you not say this is evil

Spoiler

Hell yeah! I loved the cartoon with the carrier pigeon best of all.

 

[Durxom]

Dr Claw.

Why couldn't we see who it was, its not as if it would make any difference, unless ofcourse it was his boss.

well..actually..
