"People who like this sort of thing
will find this the sort of thing they like." - Abraham Lincoln
This page is under construction. Well, well, take a look at the News (or log or diary or whatever) page to see how the construction goes.
If you've something on your mind,
drop me a line!
The title of this page should tell you quite well what it's about, but for the really stupid among you: This is the always almost complete A-Ö index of fictional villains. Things you might find here ( but probably won't 'cause I'm not _that_ ambitious) are lists of Hollywood Lucifers, neat Joker pics, gorillas named Mike... Well, if it's villainous and fictional it's here. Probably. Almost. Maybe.
By the way. This is a change in the qualifications for getting listed:
There is no demand (I'm pretty damn sure this isn't correct English, but what the #"¤&#...) whatsoever on characters being fictional in themselves. Any character that has appeared as a villain in a work of fiction may appear. Also, I will list character classes more than I've done, such as: Vampires, thugs, nazis...

006: If it's the villain of "Goldeneye" you're after, see Trevelyan, Alex.
Think about it. He was only 006 and villain simultaneously verý briefly.
Right?
1, nr: See Ernst Stavro Blofeld!!!
2bad: This Skeletor henchman has 2 heads, one read and one blue. The heads are constantly bickering with each other.
2face: 2face? 2face??? Whoever, except for me, came up with that idiotic spelling? See Two-Face, for God's sake!
2Shy: See Incanto, Virgil.
8: Secret criminal organization with 8 "arms", like an octopus. Now and then, the magnificent Mandrake crushes one of these arms. The organization is supposed to have a mystical, fanatically followed leader (known as Octon), but he (she?) is never seen. Read about Mandrake the Magicians, including a bit about 8, on Wikipedia.
Abbatoir (,the): Psychopath who was trying to hunt down all his relatives when Az-bats came down on him. Batman has later met him in Hell, of all places. Real name: Arnold Etchison.
Abomination: Green, very strong and very bitter marvel-type. Stronger than the Hulk, I hear. Impressive. More...
Absorbing Man: Well, take a look at this! Anyway, his real name is Carl "Crusher" Creel, he's an Avengers villain and Loki made him.
Agachak the Murgo: Favorite alias of Chamdar.
Adam: Cyborg demon/human hybrid constructed by dr Maggie Walsh as part of the secret military project known as "the Initiative". "Big Bad" of "Buffy", season 4. Has a liking for quasi-philosophical statements. Wikipedia article.
Agent Jones: One of the "men in black" from the movie "Matrix". This means he is actually a computer program. Played by Robert Taylor. Works under Agent Smith. Matrix Character Database.
Agent Smith: All sentient Matrix agent programs are nasty, but Agent Smith is the nastiest (this far, I hear Matrix is part 1 of a trilogy). Keanu Reeves has not a chance to beat him before he truly knows he is "the chosen one". Matrix Character Database.
Alien bounty hunters: Annoying, shape-changing things that kept showing up in the X-files. They're after "rebel alien clones" and the only way to kill them is to plant a special syringe-like weapon in the back of their neck.
Aliens: Hm... Using the term "alien" to mean "stranger" this could of course refer to all sorts of villains. Then of course it can mean "extraterrestrial" - which still leaves us with a pretty wide variety. And then there are those acid-blooded H.R. Giger thingies. Which are pretty cool, of course. Update 060325: I hereby decide to make a special "alien collection somewher on this page. Sometime.
Allan: Broken-nose captain from Tintin, a classical image of brutishness. First appeared in "The Crab With the Golden Claws". According to a wikipedia article he was "known originally as Allan Thompson, but when English translations began to appear, this was shortened down to Allan to avoid confusion with Thomson and Thompson".
Amazo: Highpowered DC villain, Justice League foe. A power-stealing android, created by Professor Ivo. Wikipedia entry.
American Dreamer, the: More, I think, meant to be a nice sounding name for a Daredevil story than to be a name for its villain. It does, however, as far as I can see, refer to the "villain" in question (who may go by the name of Tommy), and I wanted something in "A". The guy is ahallucinating soldier with the ability to stop people's hearts with mindpower. Scary.
Amora: Real name of the Enchantress!
Angel Face: Cute little hitman that Mike S. Blueberry has to face (that wasn't intended as a pun, I promise) a number of times. His actual (?) name is Marmaduke something something III, if I remember correctly. Update 060324: It seems my recollections might have been somewhat inaccurate. Viktor Moberg says Angel Face's real name is Duke o'Shaugnessy.
Anthracite A black rat. (Description and villain from Viktor Moberg.) Anthracite appears in the Chlorophylle comics of Raymond Macherot.
Anti-Monitor, the: Ruler of the anti-matter Universe. Played an important part in the Crisis on Infinite Earths, which I really can't say I know that much about. Wikipedia entry.
Apeface: Transformer. Of the evil variety, of course. "The Decepticons." A bit of a slob, apparently. More about Apeface and other Transformers here.
Apocalypse: Apocalypse's real, or at least original, name is En Sabah Nur - "The First One". This name was given to him "in anticipation of others like him" by Baal, leader of the nomadic Sandstormers, who found him deserted in the desert outside the Egyptian settlement of Akkaba. Deserted - why? Because he was disfigured - a mutant! In the Marvel Universe (where this takes place) this means you have superpowers. En Sabah Nur turns out to be immortal. From the Sandstormers he learns to believe i survival of the fittest, later comes to believe that mutants should rule the Earth, gives Mr. Sinister his superpowers, fights the X-men and others... I'm just copying from this Wikipedia entry, so possibly you should just read that instead.
Arbaces: A greek villain from "Alix". (Description, and villain, from Viktor Moberg. I don't think I've heard of this guy.) I've been trying to find some information through the web, but for once it has proved a bit of a challenge (at least for someone like me, who doesn't know French). Alix was created by Jacques Martin.
Arcade: Really weird hired killer from the Marvel Universe (especially X-men, I think). His favoured weapon is an "amusement park", Murderworld.
Aristo: The pirate. A Modesty Blaise villain.
Azazel: Demon. Or angel, I don't know. Jumps between human hosts. From the Denzel Washington movie "Fallen".
"Az-bats": Nickname for that Batman who was not Bruce Wayne but Jean-Paul Valley (Azrael) in a high-tech suit. Bruce Wayne, who had had his back broken by Bane chose Jean-Paul himself. However, he got into killing the badguys (notably the Abbatoir), which, as anyone who knows anything can tell you, is not worthy of someone who wears the mantle of the Bat. Bruce got in shape, fought Az-bats, and took the mantle back. Jean-Paul is now the noble hero Azrael. He's got big heavy weapons, but I don't think he goes around killing people.
Bababu, general: Dictator wannabe. Never quite actual dictator of Bengali mostly because of the Phantom.
Bane: "The meaning of bane as an English form of nemesis, the bringer of ruin, dates only from 1577. Now an affliction, curse, evil, ill, plague, scourge or woe, in Old English bana had a more specific and immediate meaning, of 'slayer', 'murderer.'"Big guy who let all the lunatics out of Arkham Asylum into the streets of Gotham City and when the chaos seemed to be somewhere near some kind of ending broke the exhausted Bruce Wayne's back (cheap trick). Azrael, Jean-Paul Valley, got to be Batman for a while. He beat the hell out of Baney-boy before he got totally freaked himself (see "Az-bats"). You won't have any trouble finding much more extensive (and quite likely more accurate) information on Bane all sorts of places since that whole "Knightfall" thing was kind of big in its day. May I suggest this
Baron Blood: A vampire Nazi. An old Marvel villain. Here, at the Marvel directory you can find out a bit more about Blood (including how silly he looks).
Baron Debris: Sleeping gas submariner pirate whose submarin has been blown to pieces by Johnny Hazard. Or, well, by the US Navy. Hazard helped.
Basam-Damdu: Blake and Mortimer villain. Evil emperor of Tibet and Olrik's former boss. (Description from Viktor Moberg.)
Batzarro: A Bizarro version of Batman, origin unknown.
Baxter, R. Barcroft: A clever little movie guy who has given Corrigan trouble more than once.
Beck, Quentin: Mysterio I. Really the real Mysterio, but there was this other guy... Anyway, I'm pretty sure Beck is dead now. There is a Mysterio entry here, but as things stand when this is written it doesn't really have any more information than this one. Which is kind of dumb, Mysterio is a classic Spiderman villain and quite cool.
Bellman: Well, this name is funny for everyone with knowledge of Swedish culture. Anyway, this Bellman is a Modesty-villain, an ex-druglord made ex by Modesty and Willie before he is introduced to the comics-reader. There is a book about this, however.
Bizarro: Bizarre Superman robot-copy.
Big Yeng: Weight-lifting gold smuggler working with Madame Chen in Johnny Hazard episode "Heavy Evidence". (Well, that was what the episode was called when published in a Swedish comic book. Well, actually it was called "Tunga bevis", but you get the picture.) Under Madame Chen I should say, perhaps. There's really no question about who's the boss.
Black Adam: Captain Marvel arch-foe, old superpowered Pharaoh.
Black Cat: Female sometimes villain (catwoman-style thief), sometimes hero and sometimes Peter Parker girlfriend character.
Blackheart: Marvel son of the Devil thingie.
Black Manta: Killed Aquaman's son, not nice.
Black Pimpernel: Helps criminals escape from prison. Not a good line of work if you want to be friends with the Phantom.
Black Spiral Dancers: A tribe of evil werewolves.
Blackfire: Rules realm of Tamaran. Aka Komand'r, that's kind of cool.
Blob: The fattest member of The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
Blofeld, Ernst Stavro: Nr. One of SPECTRE.
Bloodscream: Evil Marvel vampire goblin. Has been known to team up with big-guy Roughhouse. Can not be hurt by metal.
Bolt: Some sort of lightning-powered mercenary. Sometimes DC feels so boring.
Borg: An alien race of cyborgs in Star Trek (Next Generation and later) which (race, that is, not series) works as a big beehive with a collective personality, and likes to assimilate cultures into itself. My personal favourite borg quote: "How three-dimensional you have become." (Borg queen to captain Picard, when he declines to become, for the second time, a borg drone, and instead chooses to save his home planet from borg assimilation.)Search with preferred engine for "borg who say ni" to get a look at something funny that I can't remember the address too.
Bowser: The big bad dragon in Super Mario Bros, also known as "King Koopa".
Brain, the: A disembodied brain who controls the Brotherhood of Evil.
Brainiac: Alien Vril Dox in circus mentalist Milton Fine.
Brannock, Paul: Works as a "recruiting officer" for the Tanner twins in London, using nightclub "Paul's Palace" as front. Is the nephew of "Fixer" Spendler.
Brimstone: Here comes a spoiler of an agent X9 story you'll never read: Brimstone is FBI agents Faith Sels & Merdin Bicks.
Brother BloodPrimarily a foe of the Teen Titans. Wears red, has his own cult and magic shawl and wants to rule the world.
Brotherhood of Evil, The: The Brain, Monsieur Mallah, Houngan, Phobia, Plasmus, Warp.
Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, The: Though the name sounds slightly parodic, this is an actual (collection of) enemy(/-ies) of the X-Men.
Bullseye: Psychopath with extremely accurate sense of aim. He throws things at Daredevil and other Marvel dudes. Bullseye has killed two of Daredevil's girlfriends, which is one reason they don't like eachother very much.
Calendar Girl: Page Monroe, ex-model gone berserk (understandable enough, looking at the characters she went after).
Calendar Man: Julian Day, an old bat-villain whose obsession you can guess three times at. He's pretty important in something called "The Long Halloween".
Caliban: Was I thinking of Prospero's slave in "The Storm" when I entered this name? I don't know. Today I just think of the ex-demon Caliban in Narbonic, but he isn't very evil, really.
Carnage: Kletus Cassady homocidal literally bloody shapechanger. Marvel, what else.
Carver, Elliot: This media-tzar is the villain of the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies. I know some people don't count "TND" among the better films in the series, and I suppose those people wouldn't rank Carver among the more interesting Bond villains. I, however, am drawn to the absurdity of his motivation - a man who basically tries to start WW3 to improve his ratings - and also to the grand smugness with which Jonathan Pryce plays him. To speak of the movie on the whole, it may have its weaknesses (I am not, for example, particularly fond of the ending), but the escape from the Carver building is classic at least to me, and Michelle Yeoh is wicked cool.
Cancer Man (,the): See the Cigarette-Smoking Man.
Carrion: Son (adopted?) of Carnage and Shriek, appearing (first?) in "Maximum Carnage".
Cassady, Kletus: The one and only Carnage!
Catman: An ex-stuntman who honestly believes he's got 9 lives. Keeps a tiger called Rasputin as a pet. Bat-villain.
Catwoman: Real name Selina Kyle. The classic female batvillain. Jewel thief. Not evil, just ... her own. Has been reformed by the bat a number of times, but always seems to relapse into her old habits. Has claws to climb walls and fight. Has her own magazine.
Chamdar: A high-ranking Grolim, or priest of Torak. From the Belgariad and/or the Malloreon.
Cheetah, the: "When Barbara Minerva performs an elaborate ritual with the aid of her assistant Chuma, she is transformed into the human embodiment of Uzkartaga, the Cheetah goddess." DC Heroes RPG
Chemo: An enemy of the Metal Men. I've read a story about the Metal Men. They're almost cool. Maybe Chemo is, too?
Chesterfield Cobblepot, Oswald: See the Penguin.
Chiphre, Le: Villain of James Bond book and movie "Casino Royale". In the film Peter Sellers plays Bond. The real Bond.
Chronos: David Clinton... Bah! The Clock King is the only real DC clock villain (though he is probably not "continuous").
Cigarette-Smoking Man, the: Sometimes abbreviated csm. Nasty government assassin and arch-
enemy of Fox Mulder & Dana Scully of the X-Files, FBI.
Fox calls him Cancer Man. His real name may be CGB Spender. Is part of
various conspirational cliques.
Circe: A witch.
Claudius: Hamlet's uncle. Killed his brother.
Clinton, David: See Chronos.
Cobb, Phil: A (to my knowledge) dead batvillain, whose Swedish name, "Signalmannen", can be directly translated into "The Signal Man".
Cobblepot, Oswald: See the Penguin.
Collector, the: Marvel villain. An alien who is actually not just a freak who collects species from all over space, but a gentleman who has an important job to do creating a sort of cosmic Noah's Arc. He doesn't deny that he also has the mind of a true collector, but that just makes him better for the job. Only problem is not everyone likes to be collected. You get the picture.
Combination Harvester: The one in Terry Pratchett's "Reaper Man" is very dangerous.
Commuter, the: From Amazing Spider-Man #267. According to The Shrine of Lame-Ass Villainy, "He was just some ordinary guy who's never been seen again in the pagers of any comic book."
Copperhead: A snake-suit.
Count Jacob: Occultist in whatever-century Praha, hungry for the secret of the Golem. See also Thaddeus the Monk. This was in a Phantom episode called "Golem".
Crane, Carrion: Leader of "the Halloween Gang". One of a select few Phantom villains that can be said to have earned the name "super villain". Has spent some time in a place called "Larkham Asylum for the Criminaly Insane"!!!!
Crane, Jonathan (professor): See the Scarecrow!
Creel, Carl "Crusher": See the Absorbing Man.
CSM: See the Cigarette-Smoking Man.
Cyphre: See Ronald Reagan!!!
Dalton, Averell: Dalton brother. The tall, stupid and hungry one.
Dalton, Jack: Dalton brother. Shorter than William, I think.
Dalton, Joe: Dalton brother. The short, mean one.
Dalton, William: Dalton brother. Taller than Jack (I think).
Darkseid: Evil incarnate. Power incarnate, too. Looks funny.
Day, Julian: The Calendar Man.
Daxamites: This alien race have taken part in an invasion
of the planet Earth. That's not nice! (they got nice later, though).
Deaf man, the: (sw. Den döve.) Mr. Ed McBain can make villains!
Deathstroke the Terminator: Slade Wilson, the world's leading assasin.
Dee, Lucy: Psychopath wife of Walter Dee, also known as "Uncle Happy".
Dee, Walter: This is "Uncle Happy" from the Modesty Blaise episode by the same name. He's not a nice guy. This somewhat chubby, jovial summer camp manager is also, in secret, head of a big call girls-operation. He kills without hesitation or remorse whenever it suits his purposes, or whenever his charming wife Lucy asks him too.
DeLaney, Gabriel: ANDERS AND ALBIN, DON'T READ THIS PASSAGE OR NEXUS CRAWLERS WILL HAVE YOUR TAILS FOR LUNCH!!! A vampire of the clan Tremere who appears in the Werewolf RPG chronicle I'm running. He is a supreme manipulator. Honestly I don't really know that much more about him yet, and I created him! They damn secretive, them leeches... But he's DANGEROUS, that's for sure.
Delicata, Simon: The most deadly opponent Willie Garvin ever has faced, and Gabriel's killer.
Demogoblin: A demon-possessed Hobgoblin.
Demon, the: See Etrigan.
Dent, Harvey: See Two-Face.
DeSaad: Works for Darkseid. Scholar (pain). 'nuff said.
Descoines: A Major villain on Remington Steele. (Chuckle.)
Diamond, Jethro "Steelfingers": A worthy opponent of Mike Blueberry.
Dillon, Max: See Electro
Domm: Probably Themm in English. War-crazy aliens in Blixt Gordon. See also Osss/Uss (enemies).
Dr. Alchemy: Philosopher's stone misuser.
Dr. B. Ware: An evil computer programmer in a Rip Kirby episode. Note the subtle humour of his name...
Dr. Cobra: This mad scientist has been called "second rate" or similar, but I don't think so. Not only did he (unwillingly) help make Denny Colt "The Spirit" - even before that, he actually planned to blackmail the US of A, threatening to make all its inhabitants immortal. Now, I'll let him explain why this isn't just stupid - I'm not sure my mind is twisted enough to get the point through. Anyway, noone can say the plan lacked in grandeur...
"Don't you see? If people lived forever, America would collapse! The population would grow until it couldn't be fed!
Dr. Doom: This marvel-villain, Victor von Doom, may well be the ultimate mad scientist.
Dr. Deo: The major villain of funny Swedish sf-parody "Kenny Starfighter". Can, using various chemicals, turn people into zombies or slime. Looks a bit like Dr. Evil.
Dr. Evil: The major villain of the two Austin Powers films, neither of which I have seen at this point. Looks a bit like Dr. Deo. And like Mike Myers. And like Uncle Fester.
Dr. Müller: Tintin badguy. Thanks to Arne Edvardsson for reminding me of him and a couple of other evil types. Unfortunately, I don't remember too much about Müller at the moment. More data coming.
Dr. No: The villain of the first Bond movie. Looks slightly oriental. Has iron-claw hand. You should know this. Or maybe not.
Dr. Octopus: Spidey-mad-scientist-with-four-metallic-arms Otto Octavius. Leader of Sinister Six.
Dr. Polaris: "Neal Emerson was a physician who
Dr. Seven: Agent Corrigan(X9)'s arch-enemy.
Drax, Hugo: The villain of Bond movie Moonraker. Has tried to buy the Eiffel Tower to put on his estate, if I'm not mistaken (could have been Big Ben). Cool, sophisticated, Chopin-playing type. Has a really *great* smile.
Dream Queen, the: Mystical Marvel type. Daughter of succubus (?) whose name I've forgotten and a demon called Nightmare. Almighty in own dimension (Liveworld) which she's trapped in, very mighty and very evil illusion creator when she escapes. That's about as much as I remember of the bio I just read on a page I'm gonna link to some time.
Dubbelosix: The treacherous druid-spy in "L'Odyssée d'Asterix" ("Asterix irrfärder" in Swedish, "Asterix and the Black Gold" in English), who got his codename for having failed his druid exams 6 times. For some reason, he looks like the older-looking guy in Highlander. More...
Duck, Herbert: Communist agent also known as ""the Moon Man" because of his cover as a UFO-researcher.
Eclipso: An eclipse-powered DC villain.
Egghead: An eggstraordinarily cool villain from the old 60's Batman & Robin show. Is said to be the smartest badguy of them all (or was that Mr. Freeze?).
Elake Måns: (Wicked Måns, that is, Swedish again.) A cat.
Electro: A.k.a. Max Dillon. This poor little boy grew up with an overprotective mother who wouldn't let him do anything, not even become a scientist. Instead he became a really good worker for the local electricity company. One day, when he was reparing some lines high up in the air, lightning struck Max Dillon. This gave him superpowers. (Realistic, huh?) Taking the name Electro, he started engaging in various criminal activity. I wouldn't dare use the present form, but he has worn a green suit covered with lightning bolts and some kind of lightning mask. Quite recently, he multiplied his powers by taking a ride in the electric chair. Oh, yes, the powers. Electro can control electricity and shoot bolts of the stuff.
Enchantress, the: Nickname of sorts (I suppose) for Asgardian goddess Amora (who was never in the old Norse myths I read, but I guess that's of minor importance) who used to walk around the Marvel multiverse doing various mischevious deeds. There was this quote somewhere on her powers... Ah, here it is: "She is one of the most powerful sorceresses alive, capable of force bolts, illusions, paralysis, mind control, inter-dimensional travel, force fields and transmutation; however, she has channeled the bulk of her magical studies and energy into the enhancement of her already formidable beauty and seductive powers. Few men can resist Amora, and those who do earn her bitter enmity."
Etrigan: A demon. A k a "the Demon" actually. I think. At all times, Etrigan rhymes.
Fearsome Five, the: Gizmo, Mammoth, Shimmer, and... well, there used to be more of them and why let go of a bad name.
Ferguson, Mrs Emma: See the Freak. Hmm, I think it's Mrs. Can she really have been married?
Fiddler, the: "Isaac Bowins learned the secrets of hypnotism from an Indian fakir in the late 1930's. Armed with a fiddle, he became a notorious criminal in America and joined the Injustice Society of the World and fought the Justice Society. After a period of semi-retirement, he resurfaced with an amazing high-tech fiddle and joined Injustice Unlimited in battle against Infinity Inc." DC Heroes RPG. Honest!
Firefly: Garfield Lynns.
Firewing: Alien gladiator.
Flukeman: Strange mutant thingie from classical X-file. Lives in the sewers and crawls up peoples toilets.
Foreigner, the: Something like the European counterpart of Kingpin, I believe. Interesting logic, that someone who isn't American goes off naming himself the Foreigner. Marvellous...
Freak, the: Evil prison guard in Australian soap opera. Otherways known as Mrs. Ferguson.
Fries, dr.(?) Victor: See Mr. Freeze.
Frost, Deacon: "The Vampire in Blade". Wants to awake "the Blood God".

Killed by mr. James Bond in the movie "In Her Majesty's Secret Service". Pity.
'Course I've never read any Bolt stories.
Hoohah, this guy has caused the 87th precinct some trouble.
He is smart, he is unpredictable, he is ruthless and (probably?) psychopathic.
He wears a hearing aid. He likes puzzles.
Known aliases: Mort Orrechio.
Er... I like! Drewl... I'm sick, right? Somehow...
Flies and rats and diseases would also never die!
Civilization would end with starving, suffering immortals denied even death's mercy, fighting over stray dogs to eat!
With death defeated, pestilence, famine and war would end the world between them!
YA HA HA!"
performed miraculous cures through

exposure to magnetic forces caused
him to develop a Jekyll-Hyde personality."
DC Heroes RPG
But of course, since I wrote the above, Marvel has started Spiderman all over again, and Electro has a new background story. However, he's still all "Hah! So you think you stand a chance against the invincible Electro?!".
Of course. What's inter-dimensional travel and transmutation to the power of sex appeal? The Enchantress is a classic (read old) Marvel villainess. Well, well.
