[Urgh76]

i warn you, this is NOT for the faint of heart

Spoiler

THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING!!!

Spoiler

I MEAN IT THIS TIME!!!!

Spoiler

I WARNED YOU!!!! SEE WHAT YOU DID!!!!

 

[Lambi]

Of all time? No idea. It's a toss up between Darth Vader, Kefka, Sephiroth and Pyramid Head.

If I'd have to say one of them, it would have to be...Kefka. He wants to destroy the world simply because he's insane.

 

[Spaghetti]

Hmm, Darth Vader is one of my favorites, but that's two obvious.
I go for the infamous Brick Top from Snatch

Actually, I think I'll combine the two!

 

[molester jester]

Sephiroth
Or
Darth Vader
Or
Combine them into one hellish final boss.

 

[Quaxar]

Do the Daleks count as one? Same for Cylons.

If not I choose the Emperor from Star Wars, simply because he's that galaxy's Stalin, only with access to cloning, which can make him survive even an assassination.

 

[Atmos Duality]

Hmm...Can't really pin one down at the moment.

But being pressed for time (I'm running as soon as I post this)...
Luca Blight.

Simple. Pure. Iconic. Evil.
Cliche, but dammit did he have a kickass portrait and an amusing manner in dealing with people.
Pity we didn't get that much of him in the only game he was in...

I may revise this later on reflection.

 

[LANCE420]

Hans Gruber in Die Hard

Joseph Takagi: You want money? What kind of terrorists are you?
Hans Gruber: Who said we were terrorists?

 

[Ulquiorra4sama]

Negaduck of the Darkwing Duck series. Or check my avatar in case you wanna count him as a villain. (I certainly won't)

 

[mrm5561]

humm lets see there are so many good villains going to have to go with the joker and psycho mantis due to the fact the joker is one of the most recongnized villains of all time and psycho mantis might be the best boss fight ive ever played

 

[WorldCritic]

Three way tie between Revolver Ocelot, Sephiroth, and Sho Minamimoto. So zetta slow!

 

[Infinatex]

Warden Samuel Norton from Shawshank Redemption. Vindictive bastard. Favorite because you hate him so much.

 

[flame5029]

frank fontaine from bioshock never been so pissed at a game then when he betrayed you

I got so sick of him saying "Doooock-taaa Tennnn-maa" all the time.

My favourite?

Spoiler: a fucking force of nature

 

[Jfswift]

Well if it's anime, that's easy. Ashram from Record of Lodoss War.


Otherwise i'm going with Colonel Thrush from the Outlanders book series.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

hmm tough call, so that's why i'm invoking the Good Old Game Characters!

either that guy (Irenicus from BG2): http://www.gamebanshee.com/wallpaper/baldursgateii/wallpaper1-1024x768.jpg

or that one (Lee Van Cleef the Farwest legend!): http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/8754/lee1jl1.jpg

 

[Ryokai]

Off the top of my head, Muro, from the game Oni.

Or maybe Kaiba from Yugioh.

 

[Agayek]

Andrew Ryan or Dr. Breen are my favorites.

Both because they are relatable, and their ideals/motivations are logical and consistent. They seemed a lot more real than the villains in 98% of all media, and that appeals to me.

 

[Ursus Astrorum]

Spoiler: Johan Liebert

This. A thousand times, this.

 

[KiruTheMant]

OF ALL TIME
