The Essence Question: If you could be any Villian in history (fiction or non-fiction) you'd be who?

[Twilight_guy]

Ganon. First on my list, steal link's sword from the starting area. Second, conquer world with ease. Three, kill Link while he's stuck in the starting area. Done.

 

[Silver]

Well, I'm not really a villanous person. I don't like hurting people (well, except that I do, being a sadist and all, but I'm a friendly sadist... Ish...)

I do however tend to get annoyed at every goddamned villain and want their powers and such just to prove how they SHOULD have done.

So either every villain, or none of them.

Or, if I could just stop being a villain, I'd pick one with neat powers. A twentieth level sorceror/cleric from DnD or something

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

Randal Flagg.

He brought countless worlds to their knees, and most people were to afraid of him to do anything about it. He was also Roland Deschan's mortal enemy. There's points there.

Apologies if you don't know what I'm talking about; if you happen not to, though, read The Stand. Then read 'Salem's Lot. Then read the entire Dark Tower series. You'll get it.

Better yet, ignore the Dark Tower version of him. Bit of a disappointment, compared to his version in The Stand.

 

[Senor Chistoso]

I'm usually the goody two shoes, but if i have to say a villian i'd say Lex Luthor. Because he has the balls to mess with Superman...the superhero closest to a God. An he does DAMAGE too.

 

[Darthracoon]

I would have to pick the one, the only, Darth Vader.

Well after the boo-hoo padme years. He's so awesome someone made a song about him,
"Darth Vader! Fucking shit up with your Lightsaber!"(10 points for the reference)

That or Richard the Lion-heart, I mean come on whats more evil than killing lightly defended Muslims in the name of a non-existent god?

Also isn't saying Hitler is taking things a bit too far? don't 'cha think?

 

[kapzer]

I'd have to go with Sauron, or Vader. My tendencies lie with Sauron though, that badass armour is just...badass.

 

[Mungini]

I'd go with the operative from Serenity. A villain that can truly be empathised with

 

[The Eaten Cake]

Christopher Carrion of the Abarat series. Oh, yes.

 

[Limasol]

I would be the melon Hitler:

Not particularly evil but hilarious

 

[sky14kemea]

Hitler... nice guy, nice guy.

Bit gay

But a man of decisions.

damn i was beaten to it >_<

i dunno i might be jabba-the-hut, just for the fun of being a huge-ass blob XD

 

[JMeganSnow]

Why is this the "Essence Question"?

And villain by whose standards?

 

[dalek sec]

Megatron, because HE IS AWESOME.

G1 Megatron or Beast wars Megatron?

 

[Random Argument Man]

I would be a Red guard for the Esc....(Joke) 90% of the Bond villains.

 

[Wilfy]

Sylar from Heroes
Come on, who doesn't want to throw someone about with their mind?

 

[Dumplebush]

ghengis Kahn, looting and pillaging a village near you. I mean this says it all.
"The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters"
- Genghis Khan

 

[EzraPound]

And villain by whose standards?

Yours, obviously. Though someone might get giddy if you cite Barack Obama.

I'd go for Vegeta from DragonBall Z. The appeal of blowing up planets is high.

 

[Arsen]

Kefka
King K. Rool.
Klogg
Psycho Mantis
A WEAPON
Bowser
Cervantes

I officially have the coolest villains ever.

I WIN!

 

[KaZZaP]

King K. Rool.

you must be joking

 

[DreamKing]

I would love to Magento. Or the Sentinels.
