Favorite Villain of all time?

[DefunctTheory]

The most dangerous villain of all time...

Spoiler: He'll slay you... WITH SCIENCE

 

[MortisLegio]

VADER!

or the joker

 

[Phase_9]

Loki from Marvel Comics. He always has a plan, even when he is "helping" the heroes, and convincing them he has their best interest at heart, and seems and acts completely sincerely and honestly, he is always working a shady angle, even though you can't see it coming.

 

[Old Man Neck]

Captain Quark from the Ratchet&Clank Series.

 

[Bladecatcher]

Wow. I can't believe no one has said Cthulhu yet.

 

[Reality Just Bites]

Heath Ledger's Joker

 

[Varanfan9]

I. M. Meen
But seriously Mechagodzilla 1. To give you an idea of his power, in comparison to him the US army looks like a bunch of pansies.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Spoiler: He flexes his pecs because he knows he's the strongest.

 

[Rath709]

Scorpius. Even if he was overused by the fourth season, he was still a creepy, manipulative vicious bad-ass who drove John to insanity, and part of his head rotated out on a regular basis.

Oh, and the Joker as played by Mark Hamill, because of what he did in this scene;

 

[Veylon]

I'd have to go with Lavos from Chrono Trigger. Without a single line of dialogue it manages to project a shadow of dread over the story. This thing is a parasite that feeds on worlds and when it's had it's fill, it rends them asunder to cast it's spawn across the void. Really, how many villains have the destruction of a planet as a mere phase in their lifecycle?

 

[sabbat]

It may be a bit cliche, but Darth Vader. That's right, Darth Vader. Ya gotta problem with that?

 

[Random Argument Man]

Hans Landa, aka The Jewhunter from Inglourious Basterds.

Well, there's that guy.

There's also the villain from Jade Empire. However, saying his name would ruin the game...I've already said too much...

 

[Grey_Focks]

Roy Batty, from the movie Blade Runner. No one else comes close.

 

[thethingthatlurks]

Huh, nobody said Khan yet? Ok, he's a lousy villain, but this has got to be worth something:

 

[superbatranger]

I'd have to go with John Doe from Se7en. So many years later and he still gives me chills with remorseless indifference towards humanity.

 

[Caligulove]

Cross between the T-1000 and Lex Luthor....

really hard to choose

 

[wc_rock]

Anton Girdeux. Sure he didn't do too much, but he was badass. Kind of like a Boba Fett thing.

"Anton Girdeux! I hope Rhoemer's paying you enough to die for him!" Sorry, had to do it. Love that game.

So far I've seen some good ones in here. Brick Top's a good one, as is Pennywise the Clown. I'm super stoked someone mentioned Stringer Bell just because I LOVE The Wire but he's not crazy enough to be considered a top for me.

Tyki Mikk From D. Gray-man is pretty creepy, as is The Millennium Earl.

The twins from Black Lagoon as hold a special place in my heart for how sick they are.

I'm sure I have a massive list of them but I'm drawing a blank atm >.<

 

[Xanthious]

Benjamin Linus from Lost back when he was still a full fledged baddie is among my favorites. Ishamael/Moridin from the Wheel of Time series is another one up there. The most recent version of The Master (John Simm) from Doctor Who is also a favorite. Finally Guy of Gisborne (Richard Armitage) and the Sheriff of Nottingham (Kieth Allen) from the recent BBC series Robin Hood are two more that I get a kick from.
