Your Favorite Supervillian

[Oo Rev oO]

Alright true believers, we all have favorite superheros, which means that somewhere deep inside of ourselves we also harbor some love for a supervillan or two. It's time to dig deep and find who it is. Mine happens to be Marvel's "Crossbones" the guy killed Captain America, how cool is that?

Let's put a smile on that facccce.

I think that HAL-9000 was a pretty antagonistic character. In remorselessly killing 4 unarmed and harmless people, it became a pretty rape the dog [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RapeTheDog] kind of villain.

Heath Ledger's interpretation of The Joker. You will never see chaotic evil caught on-screen that well again.

Seconded.


Superman/boy Prime, but only because the stupid emo retard killed Superboy, the stupid jock retard.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Harley Quinn. Being a part of the Batman universe is an immediate 3,672,405,248 point bonus in my book, but there's more. We have a mild neurotic with occasional flashes to sheer insanity, sleeping with the Joker (probably), sleeping with Poison Ivy (probably*), and more that I'm forgetting moment (probably), all boiled down to a perky blonde package that's surprisingly acrobatic for being a former clinical psychiatrist, which is another point: the flimsy yet ironic backstory. A character that proved popular enough in her one-shot TV role to be brought back time and again, popular enough still to be added to the comic canon (a rare feat indeed), and popular enough that when noted director Kevin Smith's wife gave birth to their daughter in 1999, there was only one name for her. What more could one want from a supervillian?

* Go ahead, look it up, I'll wait.

I think this answer will be pretty common.
Other than him, I'd say Starr from the Preacher comics- Runs the most powerful organisation in the world after killing his hugely fat boss by dropping him out of a helicopter onto the last decendant of jesus christ, he nukes Arizona, loses a leg, an ear, and his genitals, and gets his head carved into the image of a big gleaming dong.

being a Biologist and having a pretty indepth appreciation for genetics, I have to say :

Mr. Sinister!!!!

Not only is his name crazy bad ass, but c'mon, this is a guy whose goal in life is to create the perfect clone army of a splice between Jean Grey/Cyclops to rule the world. He looks awesome, and has a pretty decent backstory, tops in my book.

I didn't think he was that much of a villain.
I'll go with "Father" from Equilibrium. He was a mean son of a gun.
Edit: In case it was comics only I'll go with the bad guys from V for Vendetta.

Can I go with Kefka? I mean, watching Heath Ledger's rendition in TDK of the Joker just ozzing(EDIT: oozing) Kefkaness was enough for me. Loads and loads of villains will come and go trying to blow up the world and none will succeed, but man, did Kefka succeed...He not unly fucked up the world, but quickly left it in a rotted wasted state in just a year and still was going strong. As far as supervillains go you have to respect that.

If you look long and hard, for those who remember Kefka, the Ledger's Joker, as awesome and kickass as it was, wasn't a ground breaking concept on its own. Kefka came first.

 

[bluerahjah]

Well I would say Catman after his badass overhaul, but he's not really a villain anymore, so I'd have to go with the just plain badass Deathstroke - Slade is the man.

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

Ras Al'Ghul in Legion, he manages to take over the world through subterfuge and turn it into a dictatorship, he manages to imprison and nearly kill Superboy without kriptonite, he gets The Legion disbanded, and those who aren't disbanded were catapulted to the opposite end of the universe and he destroys the moon in hopes of "jumpstarting" human evolution. Kickass.

aside form the obvious heath joker

i would have to go with venom, that tounge, sharp teeth and the darkness simply awesome

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Heath Ledger's Joker....Man it just creeped me out and filled me with awe at the same time.

 

[NinjaSkills]

The Lizard from Marvel and the Joker

 

[wahi]

does it have to english comics only? mangas and animes are full with really amazing supervillians, like vicious in cowboy bebop, who isn't really my fav or anything, just the first name that came in my head, or legato bluesummers from trigun...

 

[fix-the-spade]

The scientist from The Ten Seconders.

Having superpowers is one thing, but being so smart and manipulative that you can win/escape any situation unscathed without using them is plain awesome.

 

[Lazzi]

The Joker. Just even the idea of reading as psycological profile abotu him gets me giddy.

hes as nutty as a squrrile and he doesnt give a damn1

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Harley Quinn.

Harley is Also my Favorite Super Villain, it's like, she's crazy, but also a genuine threat. She and Poison Ivy (HAWT) kicked ass and took names. She had a masochistic relationship with the Joker (voiced by Luke Skywalker?) in a little kids tv show... awesome. It's like she's dangerous, so long as she's not w/ the Joker. I mean, the Joker also like gets props for driving his psychiatrist crazy. and she's the 3 of diamonds.

 

[DreamKing]

The super villian in Watchmen. (You know who, so do not spoil the movie for the people that have not read the book.) He was a complete jerk. Even if he did save the world. Mysterio gets a honorable mention. Any villian that can create clones of himself is definitely in my top 10

 

[Khedive Rex]

The Joker. I don't care about all the thousands of fans he's adopted since Heath ledger played him, the Joker has been my favorite villian since childhood. I saw him first!

Heath Ledger's Joker was the Joker I always knew and loved. Forget kid friendly, the man is insane. And he's insane because he prefers to be and can present a convincing argument that being insane is a superior stance in life. That's my kind of villian.
