You all know them, the characters you love to hate. At least the ones that I love to hate anyway. Any suggestions on improvement are always welcome if you can find a way to give them to me. Let's go to the results of my mind...
Honorable Mentions - Darth Maul (Star Wars), Gemma (Ninja Scroll), Treize Kuschrineada (Gundam Wing)[I know that's spelled wrong.], Prince Humperdink (Princess Bride), Exar Kun (Star Wars), Saruman (Lord of the Rings), Kahn (Star Trek), Baron Harkoness(Dune), and the Humungus (The Road Warrior).
10. Lore (Star Trek) - I don't know much about Data's Evil Twin. From what I've been told, the droid controls the Borg. The Borg are bad enough. If you can rule them successfully, you got yourself a spot on my list.
9. Megatron (Transformers) - One of the first villains that I can remember. Not the Beast Wars T-Rex, or the new Megatron...but the Original Megatron. He was cold. He was calculating. He had a bazooka attached to his arm... Strictly speaking, he's not Anime, but he is Sci-Fi. He could always be counted on for giving the Autobots a run for their money. Plus, he had glowing red eyes. Always a plus for the bad guy.
8. The Kurgan (Highlander) - Being pretty much invincible is always a good way to be a bad guy. Born bad, raised bad, died bad. He had his throat cut, just made him more evil sounding. That sword of his? So quite evil. He murdered anyone who got in his way. And he's not that bad a driver either. "Its better to burn out, the fade away."
7. Unicron(Transformers: The Movie) - What can I say? I like Transformers... He eats planets. Do you eat planets? Well then, thats wh he's on this list. He's over Megatron cause he was Megatron's master at one point. Okay, It was Galvatron, but Galvatron was made from Megatron. Damn I'm a geek. Anyway, He was a planet eating planet. He ate some of the good guys, some of the bad guys. Grimlock kicked him in the ass. He had a great theme song too.
6. Agent Smith (The Matrix) - Another machine on my list. Is it me, or do they just make great evil-doers? The Matrix's top lackey was unstopable. And if you did end up killing him? He'd pop up elsewhere just as refreshed as if he'd just started. Kinda hard to figt something like that. He could dodge bullets, smash through concrete and jump higher than Shaq with rocket shoes. Plus, he ha a voice that could freeze fire. But he got beat by Keanu Reeves, so he only gets to be Number 6 on my list.
5. Tyler (Heavy Metal 2000) - Another near invincible enemy. Tyler was almost immortal. And Tyler was quite insane. Probably the horniest guy on my list as well, just edging out Kurgan. He dominated an entire race of warrior lizards by killing their greatest combatant and their king with his own might. Wore the king's skull while he was at it. Had a hot adversary too, gotta love that.
4. Darth Vader(Star Wars) - The Dark Lord of Sith himself. Sure, he turned good in the end (That's why he's not #2 or#1), but he was certainly evil enough and evil long enough to get on my list. He'd kill you for incompetene. He'd kill you for not believing in the Force. Probably kill you for just sneezing in his presence. Even if you were brave and took responsibility for other actions, he would still kill you. Just ask Captain Needa. He cut his own son's hand off. He helped destroy the entire Jedi order.
3. Sauron (The Lord of the Rings) - Ah, my final immortal. He's basically Satan with a shiny ring. A shiny ring that just so happens to be able to allow him to RULE THE WORLD!!!!! The only Lord of the Rings, Sauron has minions at his disposal that make you crap your pants. Orcs, Wargs, The Nazgul...Giant Spiders...Its psychotic. And to think, he was a mere servant of an even greater evil(Whowon'tbeonmylist). His mere spirit can do more damage than the entire Elven legions. Yeah, he's the reason I added "Fantasy" to this list.
2. Grand Admiral Thrawn(Star Wars Books) - Ol'Red eyes himself. The only non-human to wear the white uniform of the Grand Admiral. He didn't even have the Force and he was giving the Republic a run for its money. He wasn't entirely evil, just quite forceful in his ways. He could exploit a species' weaknesses just by looking at their artwork. He only lost because the treachary to the Noghri was revealed. Remember,never piss off an entire species that's specialty is assassination.
And the winner, the most fearsome villain I know of is....
1. Emperor Palpatine (Star Wars) - This guy was just plain sadistic. He ruled the entire Galaxy with an iron hand. He killed people, put them in a new body, then he killed them again...doing this until he got bored. It took years to really kill him, since he had clones of himself. He turned Luke to the Dark Side briefly. He turned Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader. He destroyed the Jedi. He had two Death Stars, World Devestators, and a fleet of starships that could crush any resistance in a fight. He nearly defeated the Rebel Alliance, and nearly killed Luke. He is well deserving as the Most Evil Man in Fiction.
I'm sure most of you don't agree with my masterful picks. You're free to E-mail me about them if you wish. If I disagree though, well, this is my web site. HA HA HA! Feel free to give me any ideas for future lists.
