Villains that really successfully made you HATE them

I've got a couple:
SPOILERS AHOY and I don't feel like tagging everything.
The Illusive Man from Mass Effect.
Man I hated that guy. His escalating dead-setness that people should try to control the reapers was just infuriating for me (I chose destruction), the fact that he constantly manipulated so many people, and that he thought he could manipulate you. He was just so, so arrogant, and it very successfully pissed me off.
Edit: And Kai Leng, for obvious reasons.
The 8492nd Squadron from Ace Combat 5
Basically just because of their tactics, which mostly involved attacking civilians and either leaving you helpless from the enemy numbers or blaming you for the attacks. It was very satisfying to shoot them down.
Nena Trinity from Gundam 00
She treated everything like a game; in a show with a surprisingly mature depiction of war, she just placed no value on human life at all. She shot up a wedding, killing a main character's entire family, just because she was annoyed they were having fun while she had to be on patrol. Her actions caused a lot of other main characters to turn against the (admittedly morally ambiguous to begin with) good guys. AND she tries to play the victim throughout all of that when her brothers get killed in combat. I could not believe she survived as long as she did, it was a relief when she finally died.
But then, I guess the fact that I hated her so much just makes her a well written villain.
Edit 2: Oooh, almost forgot: Saint Dane from the Pendragon books. Any villain with a god complex tends to inspire my hatred.

Fuck her. So much. With red hot farming implements.AvsJoe said:
Aside from that, Garoth Ursuul from the Night Angel trilogy. He's a sexist, racist, sadistic, self-centered monster... with hints of a lighter side, some regrets about his past actions, and a fair bit of depth.
Later, you watch his son sliding down the slippery slope of EVIL, and it's pretty heavily implied that he'd turn out just like his father... and that the same thing had been going on for almost a millennium.
hmmmmm... does captain Martin Walker count, considering his the player character?
If not I shall go with caesar from Fallout new Vagas.

Im sure there are others ive seen, but she comes to mind almost immediately. Not to spoil to much, but she didnt deserve what she got in the end, she deserve much fucking worse...
Actually, I would say Handsome Jack from Borderlands, he was funny and kinda cool at the start of the game, but by the end, I was more than happy to take care of him (with a Hyperion weapon to boot!)
Just recently saw Django Unchained which reminded me that there are amazing villains that you can literally DESPISE WITH EVERY FIBER OF YOUR BEING.
Candie is literally the most sadistic and evil human being in that whole movie, the thing that makes him so good is that he enjoys what he does. The enthusiasm he gives off would be so likable if he wasn't such a monster. Not to mention Dicaprio practically nailed his performance with Candie.
And Joffrey. Of course.

This guy right here.
Kazundo Gouda Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig.
Not only does he do his best to start a class war but when that fails due the work of Section 9 he tries to sell his talents to another country. The guy is an arrogant prick who eventually gets what's coming to him but not soon enough.
Also, Umbridge I'm pretty sure is meant to be an almost a female Hitler, particularly in Deathly Hallows where she's in her element using her backwards logic and bigotry of muggle-borns to sentence them whatever fate awaited them be it life imprisonment or having their souls sucked out by dementors.
Captcha: bowties are cool

Calvin Candie from Django Unchained. Started off likable in spite of himself and slowly showed himself to be an abhorrent, absolutely disgusting human being.
Well both are already mentioned but let the point be driven in: Joffrey and celestial dragons.
My hate for Joffrey is by now a well-healed wound but those fucken celestial dragons...
Slave masters, rapists, and murderous aristocrat assholes all rolled into one, what's not to hate? I really, really hope they are in for some major karma strike at some point of the series. The added fact that these bastards are protected by military power that has officers wearing jackets with "justice" written in the back makes my blood boil.

Huh. You'd think after many years of having this opinion of Batman and knowing lots of people who do enjoy the franchise, someone would have said this. I've seen various iterations of Batman and he has yet to come across as anything more than an over-zealous vigilante working outside the law simply because he can. This is a little redeeming, but I still feel that "I am wealthy therefore I will violently pursue a personal vendetta because I can" makes him as much of a terror as the villains he fights against.Naqel said:

Sure it was sweet revenge/ justice that she got crushed to death by the hand of the girl whose life she had ruined but it was so fast that I bet the death was quick and painless.
Louise should of crushed her slowly and also since Nina wasn't aware who her executioner is, Louise should of reminded her of what she did to her which may jog her memory. Only then she would realise the full consequences of her action (karma is a *****).

Not quite throw, but Cuu did stop me reading Ghosts books. After Guns of Tanith I gave Abnett one book grace to get that fucker justice. Instead he does it again. Everyting about him after Honour Guard was idiot ball. Plus the things that really got me:iwinatlife said:CUUUUU!!! walking Diablos ex machina. Nothing like a sociopath to kill half of the most likable characters. He was the first character ever to make me almost throw a book in rageSoviet Heavy said:Second, the not so obvious.
LIJAH FETHING CUU. Ex hive ganger turned Imperial Guardsman, a rapist, blackmailer, and murderer, responsible for several honest people, and he gets away with it for several books without so much as a hint of what he's done. Thank god for Larkin.
The Vervunhivers know Cuu's a psycho (we know this from Honour Guard), and know Caffran's a great guy who is hooked up with one of their own and a couple of kids. So why was Cuu taking Caffran's place as the murderer a fix to save a Tanith, when there was character and circumstantial evidence against Cuu? Only reason I've got is the stupid Tanith-Verghast friction in that book.
Plus about halfway through Straight Silver, when Larkin realies Cuu killed Bragg, why in all that's holy did he not tell someone like Corbec? Corbec then tells Daur/Hark/Gaunt, Cuu gets executed, Muril and Corbec don't get murdered.
