Villains that you like
 

We all know villains hardly end up being winners when it comes to TV shows, movies etc...They play a great role and if a show or movie lacks a good one, said show or movie most probably sucks. This thread is for villains to live on forever. You remember that bad guy from one of your favorite movies or shows? Why is he or she so memorable? Recall your favorite villain from your favorite anime? Why is he or she your favorite? Why do you like him or her? Just watched something, how did you like the bad guy? Go at it.

Captain Cold from Flash played by Wentworth Miller, I absolutely love him.

Let me link this thread to showcase my favorites...

Missy from the new Doctor Who seasons. I've been watching seasons 8-10 for the first time (originally stopped at 7) and she's the best thing about the Capaldi era aside from Capaldi himself.

She's great not only because she's the best incarnation of the Master since Delgado, but because she's fun without being overly goofy like the Simm Master was. I'm surprised at how much I liked her from her 3 season stay on the show.

Oh yeah, Missy is pretty cool.

• Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty)
  
• Ursula (Little Mermaid)
  
• Fairy Godmother (Shrek 2)
  
• Cruelly De Vil (101 Dalmatians - toon & live action/Glenn Close)
  
• Rita Repulsa (Power Rangers classic and reboot movie)
  
• Darth Maul (Star Wars)
  
• Loki (Thor)
  
• Mystique (X-Men)
  
• Carmen Sandiego
  
• Batman Rogue Galleries (Joker, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Penguin, Two Face, Riddler, Bane etc)

It's surprising that most of them are females tho.... yet in the real world the villains are mostly men. :tconfuse:

Ha, I prefer him in Prison Break but Cold is cool (pun intended) too. :D

Noone has mentioned Darth Vader yet?

Eobard Thawne / Harrison Wells (played by Tom Cavanagh and Matt Lescher)

Every villain from Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy

General Zod by Michael Shannon

Saruman by Christopher Lee

I did. It is in the link I provided.

I cut out the explanations that went with the ranking. Here is the list:

1. The Shredder

2. Darth Vader

3. The Riddler

4. Venom

5. Dr. Octopus

6. Mr. Freeze

7. The Rat King

8.Slash/ Leatherhead-tie

9. Lex Luthor

10. Lord Zedd

Honorable mention goes to Joker.

Reverse Flash because he is something The Flash can't get rid of. Referring to the fact that he forced Barry to free him and let him kill his mother again in The Flash live action series.

Azula (and Zuko).

Skeletor, Hordak and King Hssss.

Zaheer and his companions.

Paul Giamatti's character from Shoot 'Em Up.

The villains from the 1960's Batman TV series were delightful, especially Julie Newmar, Lee Merriwether and Eartha Kitt's portrayals of Catwoman. Of course, The Shredder, Kraang, and Bebop and Rocksteady are some of my favorite cartoon villains. Helena Bonham Carter's version of Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter series is absolutely brilliant.


These are all great. Ursula used to absolutely terrify me as a little kid.

I liked them too. I'm rewatching Korra for zaheer and his friends alone.

Dick Dasterdly and Muttley from Stop the Pigeon and Wacky Races... although they might as well be the "heroes" of their shows.

And ofc, Wily E. Coyote!

Paul Winchell also did an excellent job of voicing Gargamel in The Smurfs.

I just finished watching Avatar again and now going through Korra. Can't wait for the third season.

Watching Korra for the first time?

Darth Vader and prequel era Palpatine (Star Wars)

Deadshot from assault on arkham because he's strong and analytical
Killer Frost from The Flash, mainly because of the costume plus she had a great character development.
Harley Quinn from assault on arkham because she betrayed the team and joined joker, no one saw it coming. She's deceptive
Killer frost from assault on arkham because she's cool

Prometheus from the latest season of Arrow. After how disappointing Damien Darhk was, they really turned things around and made a great villain for season 5.

YES to all of these!! Except for Ben, Keyser and Elias. Never watched those shows. I will amend the DCAU Joker to the B:TAS version. Hamill rules that role.... Fully agree with all the others though. Especially Xanatos. Easily my favorite of those listed.

I will add a few as well. 60's Batman Catwoman(all of them), Dracula from Bram Stoker's Dracula (Gary Oldman), Khan from Star Trek(SERIOUSLY??!! WHY has no one mentioned him??!!) and Lore from TNG.

General Krang, obviously. I'll wait for Colonel Ch'rell to turn up, but I think he'll be there.

Lord Shen, from Kung Fu Panda 2

Daleks, Doctor Who (Specifically, Dalek X/Dalek Inquisitor General from the book "Prisoner of the Daleks".)

Grendel's Mother, Beowulf

Nagaina, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi (which is basically just the first two thirds of Beowulf, but in India with animals)

The Rat Creatures, Bone

Pterano, Land Before Time VII (YES THAT. FIGHT ME. He's been one of my favorite characters as a whole since I was six years old and I probably have a greater appreciation for him now than I did then)

Dr. Reginald Bushroot, Darkwing Duck

One of my more recent favorite villains.

Akihiko Kayaba from Sword Art Online

Zim, Gir, and Tak from Invader Zim

The Xenomorphs and Yautjas from the Alien and Predator films are technically the villains so I'll count them

I've always liked the various forms of Buu from DBZ, but Kid Buu is my favorite

Shockwave from Transformers

Gideon Graves from Scott Pilgrim

The Lord of Owls from Usagi Yojimbo

Giegue from Earthbound

And of course: SHUMA GORATH!!!

Bushroot? :teek: :tlol: Give me Negaduck LOL! Or Megavolt. Loved those two.

Hmm, Jennar from Secret of NIHM. And King Haggard from Last Unicorn. Mommy Fortuna too.

What can I say? Ol Reggie was endearing :D . A huge section of my 2011 deviantART is full of him...and also Pterano. Shipped him with Liquidator too (it's STILL a damn shame they never teamed up by themselves like Megavolt and Quackerjack often did)

Ahh the villain team ups.... I loved the episode with the formation of the Justice Ducks. Negaduck formed a villain team so Darkwing had to rally the good guys. Classic! And I know she doesn't TECHNICALLY count as a villain except in her first appearance(before she fell for Darkwing and "reformed") but Morganna Macabre was always a fave of mine too. So much so that I named my first evil D&D pc after her. She was a magic-using assassin and thief. Pure evil and a bit of a sadist.

Aww, she was actually a little bit of a plot mover in a fanfiction that I never wrote.

In which Bushroot, rife with loneliness and wishing he was able to settle down like a regular duck, manages to grow some Lycium Lycanthropus hybrid flowers. And in a standoff with Darkwing, where Morgana got involved, she accidentally casts a spell on one of the flowers that turns it into a duckling plant, which is promptly named Juniper. So of course things get awkward after that point.

I think I've discussed this before, but I also had an AU where only some of the characters were gender swapped. Mainly because I thought a lady Bushroot would be cute, and that a lady Darkwing would be extremely fun. I swear naming Duchess Mallard's husband "Duke" was an accident.

Honourable mentions go to Valmont from Jackie Chan Adventures (Season 1 only), Dr. Robotnik from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and The Hooded Claw from the perils of penelope pitstop. They were all voiced brilliantly by their respective actors.

Tobi and Madara from Naruto. Who doesn't like a masked villain with a big ego, and a god-like villain with intertwined agendas

Nope, the second.


While I'm at it, I'll just add Vulture from Spider-Man: Homecoming to my favorite villains list.

MCU Loki and Comics Malekith are great villains.

Strahd von Zarovich from Ravenloft, a old D&D module which been revamped for each new edition and got his own books and the module spun into it's own D&D setting (which I'm not a fan of). He's basically all Vampire lords in one glorious package.

Vecna is also a fun D&D villain, his first mention was that he was a long dead lich and his hand and eye was the only remnants left as powerful magical artifacts. Then he came back as a demigod and through the editions ascended to a full god.

Barbas and Zankou in Charmed were great villains, imo. Barbas had the ability to turn people's fears against them. Zankou was very cunning.

Freeza is the greatest villain of all time!!!!

Even though Halloween is over I really enjoy the Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus. They are very funny villains and all three actresses playing them looked like they were a ball playing those parts.

Ms. Direction in Ever After High. As a narrator that literally changes the script written by the author, it was neat seeing how the girls could beat a concept

The Doctor Who Villains ( The Master Davros Daleks Cybermen etc)
Batman's Rouges
Flash's Rouges
The Deadites from Evil Dead
The brotherhood of Mutants
Decepticons
The Empire/First Order
Spider-Man's Rouges
Disney Villains
Edgar and Boris the Animal from MIB 1 and 3
