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

[Datalord]

The Riddler Is the MOST AWESOME VILLAIN EVER

 

[Drake the Dragonheart]

One of the villians from captain Planet, so I can shake my fist and say "You'll pay for this captain planet!"

But then you would have to get beaten up by a big blue man in little red pants!

Maybe Darth Malak, or Darth Treia, except I am male so that would be weird.
Or maybe Chong-Li from bloodsport, that guy could strangle somebody with his bicep.
It would be awesome to be Mordoc SeLanmere from Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2. Be a suave charismatic vampire shadowcaster!
Olga Flow and/or Dark Falz from PSO. Cast heaven's punisher all day and slay everyone!

 

[Datalord]

Lenin. Malevolent evil, genius intellect and psychotic dedication, with facial hair and a fearsome attitude.

Moron, pretty much anyone who chooses a Russian SOCIALIST (not communist, it socialist, SOCIALIST) is responding to social programming, it would be well to remember that most russians regarded them as hero's even AFTER what they did, besides, Lenin never really did anything to begin with, after the october revolution he died of a stroke

 

[Mray3460]

The giant smoke monster from lost! Seriously though, Count Dooku from Star Wars, nothing beats a gentleman with a plasma sword (except for a punk kid with a plasma sword in round 2, DANG YOU ANAKIN SKYWALKER!!!).

 

[Datalord]

I have to say, eve though being the riddler is probably how i actually will turn out, i could probably live with being someone almost as awesome, like a stewwy (Damn You All) or achmed the undead terrorist (I Kill You)

 

[TMAN10112]

I would have to choose xenu. Acording to scientology, he killed billions of people with atomic bombs befor humans evolved or something, that sounds pretty cool to me

 

[Datalord]

Oh yeah, or:

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.

Barrack Obama, in four years, you'll see i m right, but then it will be too late, he'll own the banks, the army, the navy, the UN, and Health Care

 

[fluffylandmine]

Can I change to Mao? Because the image searches of him are pure comedic gold!

 

[jacobschndr]

I'd be Joseph Stalin I'd kill a million of my own people and no one would dare ask why until I was dead. Absolute power right there buddy. Scary.

Are you implying that Stalin is a villain? Not so, my friend. A villain implies that they have done nothing with good intentions or have only taken lives, not saved them.

Also, he killed more than twenty-million people. Beat that.

So are you saying Stalin killing twenty million of his own people are "good intentions".
Plus I wasn't being historically accurate when I said "I'd kill a million of my own people", emphasis on "I'd", as in first person perspective as if I were Stalin.

Eat that Fact-sandwich ya History-Channel-Nerd.

 

[shaggydog]

A mix of the classic Joker from Batman and the new Joker from the dark knight.
Take the little gadjets like a killer joy buzzer or big boxing glove in a jack in the box of old Joker and mix it with the new jokers laugh makeup and complex intense mind of the new joker.

 

[Manbro]

I have a few: Darth Vader (after Episode 3), Sauron (looks awesome), Bowser, Darth Revan, or The Joker.

 

[MrShrike]

Grendel
evil,sauve, brilliant and a great swordsman

 

[ghostsprite9]

mmmmmmm... i would pick the overlord form the overlord games controling legions (i think it is spelt wrong)and everyone u look at bursting into flames would be awesome

or lex luthor

 

[vrmlguy]

Lex Luthor. I've always wanted an underground lair. OTOH, I'm the only male in my family who isn't experiencing early hair loss. Do chicks like baldies?

 

[zombiez]

Either El Patrón from The House of the Scorpion, because he was a badass drug lord that found out how to live forever. Or Adrian Veidt because he was just so sure about everything.

 

[sirdanrhodes]

Taxi Driver.

He went out with a bang.

He went out with a little fizz, and just made a thread saying "I'm done". Hardly a bang.

I would probably be Albert Wesker, you can't fucking get rid of him.
