Who are your favorite villains?

Who are your favorite villains?

We all love to hate certain characters in fiction. I myself tend to have more affinity for a villain than the schmuck of a hero. The bad guys always have the most fun!

So who, and why?

(The poll selections were just samplings from various fictional sources. Please give your own favorites not included)

Suffering from ads?

My pics:

Sauron - The epitome of the unseen, overarching evil that terrorizes an entire world. His presence is all throughout the LoTR series, and Tolkien is brilliant in building a really frightening picture of a villain we never even see. Perhaps the most epic of villains.

Baron Scarpia - Opera's nastiest bad guy, with no redeeming traits except for his music. He abuses his authority as Roman police chief to get what he wants. He wants Tosca, however, and makes plans to have her boyfriend executed so that he can blackmail her into sleeping with him. He seems to be victorious...until, just before he goes to claim his prize, Tosca sticks a fruit knife in him. Slooch!

Inspector Javert - Probably doesn't deserve to be on the list, as he isn't a "villain" in the sense of being evil. He is the archetype of the obsessed lawman, and he hunts the fugitive Jean Valjean for nearly 20 years in early 19th Century France. His own lowly birth in a prison to gypsy parents makes Javert obsessed with the law and always living by the letter of it. He is merciless to those who break the law, and his presence is often frightful in Les Miserables. He is doomed, however. Valjean's own act of mercy in saving Javert's life from student rebels is what does it. Unable to accept a world in which a criminal can be noble, and unable to arrest Valjean since it would be betraying his savior, Javert ends his conflict by throwing himself from a bridge into the Seine River.

Got spare money?

Boris: I really like the poll. I'm glad SOME people are getting back to being creative.

Also: What nerds we are. Top three as of now:

Darth Vader (6)
The guy from LOTR (5)
HAL 9000 (4)

I voted for two of them...bet you can guess which ones.

Also voted WWOTW, Hooky, Dr. Evil, Joker

I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to Paitkis! Wile E. Coyote is perfectly acceptable, as is Marvin the Martian. I draw the line at Elmer Fudd, though.

TEF, who could you forget Javvy? That long black coat stands out so much...

And Ming wasn't in because, well, I didn't think of him. And I was trying to balance the genres a little, didn't want too many movie villains. I will post pics of them shortly!

Lady MacBeth and Hal aren't exactly villains...

Anyway, if you've got Darth, what about The Emperor?

And there's someone I can't think of right now that should be on here... damn...

Edit: Right, I remember. Baron Harkonnen. However you spell that name. Duuuuuuuune!

How very post-modern of you, Boris. I assume the misspelling of your second name is post-modernism, too?
