I'm going to go with Big Brother from 1984 (only read it a few months ago and didn't realise it was popular) because he is truly immortal and he exists in a realistic world. All the others exist in worlds that contain forces that are beyond them. For example Sauron can never be more powerful than magic itself and the emperor isn't more powerful than the force. Big Brother is an idea and in the immortal words of V (V for Vendetta) "ideas are bullet-proof".

It's alright. In a way, I was wrong too. I mean, Samwise was the one who threw the Ring into the fire, so...

Sauron.

Why? Because he was the first. Not to mention the fact that in the Third Age he was basically the single most powerful individual in the entirety of Middle Earth.

Morgoth would get my vote for Best though, if he was on the list.

Gollum fell into the fire while holding the ring, actually.

Darth Vader.

Revan is a Vader wannabe, Palpatine is an old corpse, Sauron gets his power from a ring, and Ganondorf just cant take a hint.

So evil, one name is just not enough.
The rules say no Satan.
How can Revan be a Darth Vader wannabe when he came first by 4000 years? :p

Plus, as awesome as Vader is, you have to remember that he was the chosen one of the light side of the force. Even though he brought the galaxy to it's knees along with Palpatine (who is, by the way, far from an old corpse, read my other post in here) at the end he fulfilled the prophecy and destroyed the last of the real Sith Lords. Ain't so dark lordish of him..

But still, Vader was a badass in his dark prime, there is no denying that :D
Why oh why did they ever let Hayden Christiannsen set foot on a Star Wars movie set...

Ultrajoe. I really don't need to explain any further.
I have absolutely no idea who that is.
The hell is this forum coming to.
On topic Palpatine definitely as he achieved his goal...sort of. Failing that Voldemort.

one question? how can Revan be a Vader wannabe if Revan was alive several thousand years before Vader?
The easist answer is quite often the best, he is an idiot.


That said, revan. He was the guy that put the mandalorians in their place and then went out and found a doomsday machine that would have ascended him to godhood if he didn't have a case of amensia and snooty snarking jedi come and buttfuck him while his apprentice was being a dick and blowing up the star forge he spent ages finding.

Was going to vote Gannon, but had to vote Arthus, just so ya'll know, I hate WoW. In Warcraft 3 though, which I really enjoyed, he was the ultimate badass, the Snake Plissken, Mr just don't give a fuck, and he kicked enough ass to back it up.

Sauron.

HIS name, and even the place where he dwells are not to be said allowed.
HIS mere presence fouls the landscape around him.
HIS armies are huge.
HIS followers fear and worship him as a god.
HE is a symbol of absolute power and can corrupt anyone or anything he comes into contact with.

So much of the evil that occurred in Middle-Earth can be linked to Sauron's corruptive influence. Before, he reached M-E, Sauron had already been involved in the destruction of an entire race (Numenor). On arrival, he immediately sets a plan in motion to corrupt every human, dwarf and elf on M-E. He 'gifts' them with the knowledge of how to create powerful magical rings, thus allowing them to create the instruments of their own destruction!

HE is just evil personified.
So many problems with that paragrah i presume you've just read the last half of the Similirion and missed the bit where he was just a leutenent, got owned by a dog, was already in middle-earth, hid, got owned by the numerdorians, pretended to be a good person for 100s of years, died, lost the ability to shape shift, respawned and then managed to get defeated by a weakened force of elves and a couple of numerdorians who where also weaker than the had been while fighting melkor

I'm surprised Voldermort's not here.
GAH! Knew I forgot someone...
You have Big Brother (a nonexistent figurehead) listed as a Dark Lord, but not Voldemort? That's...kinda surprising.

I mean, my vote still goes towards Sauron (yes, even over Morgoth, the gambit with the Rings of Power was that badass), but Voldemort is still pretty high up there. If you get over the fact that he's basically localized in Britain, he's a cold-blooded psychopath, master of asstons of dark magic, terrorizes a large geographical area even after his apparent death, and manages to be essentially unkillable except through convoluted means.
Yeah, I admit it was a mistake not to include the V man. I just haven't read/seen the Harry Potter books/movies in a long time, and I just finished reading 1984. So Big Brother came to mind before he who must not be named.
