Emperor of COBRA. Created from the DNA of history's greatest tyrants, he was supposed to be the perfect leader to finally rally COBRA to victory. However, lacking the DNA of Sun Tzu makes him impatient, so he tends not to think things through very carefully. Like the failed Invasion of Washington DC for instance. There was a good plan!

And let's not forget his infamous refrain, "This I command!" Gosh, we're all real impressed down here I can tell ya!

I tend to like any villain.....like 'em more than the 'hero'.

I would say the VERY FIRST villain I liked was in the CARE BEARS: The Movie where the boy was a wizard and had that talking book. I guess he's the guy that turned me 'on' to villainhood....that and he has the same name as me.

But one of my fav. villains Iago from Othello because he warped Othello's thinking into jealousy. After him would probably be Hades from the Disney movie Hercules.

For me it is a toss up between Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper) in Blue Velvet and Albert Spica (Michael Gambon) in The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover. These are two of most disturbing and despicable characters I have ever seen in film.

Bah. So what? How many Evil Dread Lords are worried about comfort? Capes allow you to strike all sorts of cool and dramatic poses.

--"I'm gonna have to agree with Wraith's mention of Ilpalazzo,"

Finally, someone else who's seen Excel Saga Although with that location field, I may have to ask you to sing the afro song...

You forgot Paul Atreides. In the first Dune book, he's a hero, but in the following book, he becomes the worst tyrant in history. Hitler and Stalin are nothing compared to him. And his son, the worm boy, will even be worst than him.

Hmph. I could only really get behind Darth Vader & Lady Macbeth on that list.

Some good suggestions though. Angela Lansbury in The Manchurian Candidate, whatever she was called, was a darn good villian. Sephiroth is good too, just for style.

While we're on video game villians, no list would be complete without mentioning Ghaleon from Lunar: Silver Story Complete. He manages to do the "sympathetic villian" thing right, when it's easy to get wrong. Basically it comes down to differing political ideologies really, both your characters and him standing up for what they think is right (without spoiling the story, let's just say that Ghaleon doesn't have much faith in humanity to get things right without a strong leader, but he actually has good reasons for this belief). Compare this to say, Javert, who was held up as an example as a sympathetic villian. Javert falls into the category I like to call "Lawful Stupid" villians: people who follow some kind of idiotic code super-rigorously even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary (until the end, when they realize the error of their ways). Unfortunately, they're fairly popular. I far prefer SMART villians who come to their conclusions on their own.

Like, say, Bester, who while certainly not being sympathetic is evil, smart, & stylish. Very good at setting up win-win situations for himself and then laughing to the good guys about it, something I always appreciate in villians.

Speaking of Dracula... anybody see the movie "Shadows of the Vampire?" I think that "Count Orlock" there was highly enjoyable, myself...

And oh yes, I stopped watching the X-Files ages ago. But I do recall there were hints that Cancerman was Mulder's father. Were these ever confirmed? Denied?

Favorite Baddies:

Sauron from Lord of the Rings - Love the mystique of the formless, lidless Red Eye

Patrick Bateman from American Psycho - Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go return some videotapes

The Diabolicals from Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum- all manner of occult villains, real and fictional, embroiled in a global conspiracy.

Aleister Crowley - early 20th century black magician, once known as the wickedest man in the world. Following still has several thousand members.
