The most evil villian of all times? (fiction)

[Lord_Sidious]

oh, and i include Sauron in the last list too

I don't understand why everyone is choosing Palpatine.

George Lucas' heroes were just as messed up:
Anakin: Either you're with me, or you're my enemy! (in a girlish squeal)
Obi: Dealing in absolutes is a sith trait!

5 seconds later....
Anakin: Good and evil are a matter of perspective! (again, said very girlishly)
Obi: If you believe that, you are totally lost. (erm, isn't that an absolute you big douche face?)

Anubis, Violator.

I don't understand why everyone is choosing Palpatine.

In case you failed to notice, he used the Deathstar to blow up a planet. I think that counts for as pretty vicious, no?

 

[Blazer6]

But I'd say my vote would go to...Giygas/Giegue/Gyiiyg. I doubt maybe of you know about him, but he's the central villain of the Mother RPG [Earthbound outside of Japan] series.

Giygas, the Universal Cosmic Destroyer, was an alien of incredible psychic power. His method of attack is so powerful that the human mind is literally incapable of grasping it. He's, by the end of Mother 2/Earthbound, the very embodiment of evil itself and such power has completely destroyed his mind and physical body. His form is a reddish mist and he is incapable of any real thought -- he spends the entire final battle muttering and roaring, unleashing wave after wave of his psychic fury.

Oh, and his plan? Nothing short of annihilation of the entire universe. Pretty darn evil, if you ask me.

Seconded.
He had complete control over most of the worlds animals, and enslaved the populations of many cities by proxy. The people in those cities were so accustomed to animals and objects roaming the streets, that they mostly ignored them and continued their day.
What other being could only be defeated by praying to God many times when all other options have failed?

 

[Evil Tyrant]

Sauron, Emperor Palpatine, and Lord Anubis(from Stargate, he was so evil, even the Goauld were horrified at his actions and had him exiled )

 

[Bozo Erectus]

The most evil villian of all times? (fiction)

Cluny the Scourge, of course.

 

[classical_hero]

I am surprised that noone has said Mr Burns.

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Classical, come on, admit it: Youre a Simpsons fan arent you?

 

[classical_hero]

Of course i am and there is nothing wrong about that.

 

[Grohan]

King Bowser

 

[Envy]

id have to say that the Phantom Blot really freaked me out as a kid lol

 

[Corlindale]

I'd probably go with Dread from the Otherland Tetralogy by Tad Wiliams.
Otherland is the most excellent piece of sci-fi ever written, and Dread is the perfect villain. Extremely cruel and sadistic, but also very cunning and intelligent. A dangerous mix indeed.

 

[jameson]

Cardboard and cartoon characters aside, I think there's nothing quite like the simple human treachery of Danglars, Villefort and Morcerf and their conspiracy to destroy an innocent sailor's life.

Oh, and a honourable mention goes to Dolores Jane Umbridge .

 

[Gr3yL3gion]

Hannibal Lecter

 

[Lord_Sidious]

That's a good one, too. And that Dread that Corlindale discribed is like Palpatine/Sidious.

And Gr3y L3gion, where did you find the text to your sig. It has something familiar, I think is related to Star Wars, or some other sci-fi film

 

[Ultima Dragoon]

Cluny the Scourge, of course.

Get outta my head....

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Get outta my head....

Ok ok, I give up. Turn the utilities back on, I'll pay the rent increase.

 

[Joeb WK]

Baron Vladimir Harkonnen.

@Rolo Master
It's from Star Wars, something to do with Sith's ideology. The Jedi's one are too long and crap IMO.
