Favorite Villains
If this post is already out there _____________. (Fill in the blank).
Okay, who do you 'love to hate?' TV, movies, literature, is so full of intriguing 'bad guys' where do I start? Always liked Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. She was a piece of work. Uriah Heep, from David Copperfield, well, I work with someone just like that. (Shrugs off 'creepies' and continues to post). Of course, there is the Phantom of the Opera, but my all time favorite bad guy is Nosferatu. Still creepy after all these years.

Heathcliff is by far my absolute favorite villain. Starts out as a poor poor boy who is tortured and abused, runs away after he overhears his love say that she could never marry him because of status, returns, then purposefully destroys everything beautiful in the area.
He also went from having no money, to having Hindley own him his entire life's earnings. Then, marries Isabella to end up with the Grange. Such a clever man however, so diabolically wicked.

I love Alfred and Alexia Ashford from Resident Evil: Code Veronica. Alessa Gillespie, too, from the Silent Hill series, but I'm not sure if she'd exactly fit into the villain category.
A few others to name are Dagoth Ur from Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Mehrunes Dagon (he's a badass; a huge, evil badass) from Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Ramon Salazar from Resident Evil 4, Dracula from the Castlevania series (I also like the original from Bram Stoker's novel), the Marquis de Carabas from Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman (I'd consider him a villain anyway, even if he did pull through for Richard in the end); and there's a bunch of others I don't feel like naming.

Two spring to mind, and to my discredit they're not very literary.
Scorpius from Farscape - A multifaceted villain who was evil largely for its expedience.
Blackbeard from Blackbeard the Pirate - An excellent portrayal of the tough-as-nails, dead-clever, scurrilous rapscallion that Ed Teach would have wanted everyone to believe he was. Cheesy film, but fun! Arr!

Hans Gruber from Die Hard and Colonel Walter E. Kurtz from Apocalypse Now. I like how calm and unforgiving Mr. Gruber is in Die Hard. And although I don't consider Kurtz to be a villian, he is portrayed that way.

Two more I'd like to add!
Melodia from Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, and Malpercio, from the original Baten Kaitos, as well as its sequel, Baten Kaitos: Origins.

Raito from Death Note was fairly entertaining.
Also....
Mojo Jojo,
The evil Aku (Samurai Jack),
Desty Nova!!! (Battle Angel ALita)
http://www.mangasland.com/mangas/LO02.jpg
That guy always made sure he had beautiful women around him and was the ultimate evil genius.

He had the laugh. Plus, he bet death multiple times.
And of course.... Sephiroth.

High Fives for Heathcliff... nothing better than a wolf honestly trying to be a sheep and failing, bothing than a villain you cannot tear your eyes from. One of my all time favorites, in fiction-which i assume is the quiestion so as to avoid a political argument- is simply the wicked stepmother from so many tales around the world- something so close to home as to be family and yet so obviously the *other* and has such power because of it.

One of the scariest, most real, and pertinent villains that keeps coming to mind is Claude Frollo, the archdeacon from Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". While not my favorite-ist of reads, Frollo is scarier than flying monkeys.

As awesome and fascinating a character as he is, I find that he's a bit over rated. It may just be my opinion because so many people seem to hold him in such high esteem.

Actually, in my humble opinion, the original 'cannibal' was much scarier. Hannibal Lector was frightening enough; however, his 'character', as well as the Norman Bates character, in 'Psycho', was based on a real person (Ed Gein) who unfortunately elicited a 'fan club' with such noted emulators as Jeffrey Dahmer and 'The Night Stalker.' Ed Gein, being a genuine serial killer and cannibal, was not so much someone I would 'love to hate', as someone I would hate to meet.

Um, the spartan dude of Epic Movie threw a baby off the cliff, but I'd probably do the same thing if it looked like shrek and threw up on me.
It looks like Hannibal is a popular villain here.
I know this might stereotypical of "being goth," but I like the original supernatural and mysterious Dracula (floating and all).

Why not? Are they not babies too? Don't they have emotions and bleed like us. I had a dream, but unfortunately I couldn't make out what it was. But I still had one.
