This guy is:

Ken Lay! Deceased CEO of Enron.

Okay seriously, this one, if not the best, is one of my all-time favourites...


That's right! It's Paxton Fettel. He likes eating people, freeing malevolent creatures, and long walks on the beach.

Toss up between GlaDOS and S.H.O.D.A.N.

They're both female cybernetic entities that want to manipulate/murder you. Sort of like the internet.

I don't know if he's a hero or villain but powdered toast man! OR Darth Nihilus because his mask is made of solidified awesome.
He is actually contained within his armor, so yes I agree Darth Nihilus is solidified awesome.

Favourite Villain: The dude with the hat in Fallout 3 who tries to make you blow up Megaton. I can't remember his name for the life of me.
Mr. Burke?

I cannot believe nobody has said Jon Irenicus!
He is such a good villain. Sephiroth has got nothing on Jonoleth.

I would say Dr. Horrible, but by the end of the story I got the feeling that he wasn't really a villain, he just thought he was and by the time he realized it, it was too late.

Everything he wanted was everything he lost.
Well, that's the thing: He wasn't a villain at first. He was simply Billy masquerading as Dr. Horrible because he thought it was cool.

But the last song really shows how much he developed as a character: He becomes darker and edgier as the show progresses, and the loss of Penny is what tips him over the edge to become an actual villain.

At that point his agenda is no longer "Help humanity through a morally-grey set of actions", it's "Make the world pay for what it's done". Of course, on the inside he's still the same heartbroken Billy that everyone knows, but the Dr. Horrible part of him is no longer an act and it's taken over ('Now the nightmare's real, etc). Which is why in the last snippet where it cuts to Billy saying 'A thing', it's the Blog background but he's in his civvies and not his costume. It implies that the villain is having to pretend to be the man now, instead of the man pretending to be the villain like it was at first.
That is an interesting evaluation and I think I can agree, but the real problem with the assertion here is that he is the best villain ever. The only times we've ever seen him do anything evil it wasn't a villain doing it, it was billy. By the time that he is truly Doctor Horrible(which sounds better if you say it with a phony Russian accent) all of the on screen villainy was over. We didn't really see how he measured up as a villain, he has a great backstory, sure, but that alone does not make a great villain.

Ok, now that I start to think about it, Dormin from Shadow of the Colossus was an awesome baddie. I'm not sure if you can quite call him the villain but I think he still qualifies.

Also, Vergil from Devil May Cry 3. He was pretty cool too. :3
Dormin is not really a bad guy, you are the bad guy. You kill those creatures who mean you no harm because you want to resurrect a girl. You are a selfish bastard in that game.
Well, not quite. He did (sort of) trick you into doing it for his own intentions and screwed you over after that.

I personally like Sylar, myself.

If I had to pick another though, I would vote for the Joker. I like batshit insane bad guys. They're interesting.

Many people have said Cthulhu. I instead say Yogg'Sothoth. Read the Dunwich horror, you will understand.
