personally i think that sephiroth from final fantasy seven is the coolest badguy ever. He is just so awsome.

Anyone played by Alan Rickman, he is just so awesome.

IMO, Saren from Mass Effect.

Not the greatest villain, but the most coolest.

General Grievous is a close second.

Lelouch Lamperouge from Code Geass, going from simple revolutionary to dictator of the entire planet ain't no simple feat.

I fail to see how he was a bad guy since he

Irenicus from Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn.

Raoh the Fist King.

Armored Prayer:
IMO, Saren from Mass Effect.

Not the greatest villain, but the most coolest.

I've been ninja'd! D:

Then I'm gonna have to say Liquid Ocelot from MGS.

Dracula from castlevania, more importantly the one front the dracula X chronicles
also draculas lines from curse of darkness was pretty cool "scatter, to the wind!"

The Operative from Serenity.

Andrew Ryan?

Saint Dane's pretty swish, but I wouldn't say cool...

Delitea from FF Tactics

And Revolver ocelot as a very close second place.

Beelz?

Darth Vader, frickin' V to the A to the D E R. Just to note, the actual Darth, note that emo whiny bastard "played" by Hayden Christiansen.

Baal from Stargate runs a close second, because very few villians can do that pimpin' look without being considered utterly ridiculous.

Oh and John Cavill from BSG, sure a mean little old man.

Dr. Breen

Are these just video game villains? 'Cause if not, my vote goes to Keyser Soze.

I'm going to hop onto the Liquid/ Liquid-Ocelot bandwagon. My boyfriend and his older brother call each other solid and liquid, and the older brother greets the younger one on the phone with "Brothaaaaaar!". Good times.

Also Scar from the Lion King, just for being an awesome.

HUBILUB:
Ocelot all the way

"BROTHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Love it when he says that. Hes a charming bad guy. You can say alot about Hideo Kojima but he has a Marvel like ability to invent cool bad guys.

My favourite videogame villain is Andrew Ryan though. That is mostly the voiceactors fault though.

Amnestic:
Irenicus from Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn.

Definitely Irenicus. There's a reason why I chose his character portrait for my avatar.

Irenicus:
I cannot be caged. I cannot be controlled. Know this as you die, ever pathetic, ever fools.

The Milkman. (Psyconauts)

No contest

The Devil in his many incarnations, no doubt about it.
*Starts humming Rolling Stones*
That doesn't mean what he does isn't horrible and evil and all, ofc :P.

Well, noone's said it's only from games yet, so ...

Kane.

Scolar Visari from Killzone is such a badass!

Lothae:
The Devil in his many incarnations ...

... especially as Dante's Iceman, right?

Darth Vader is the # 1 ultra epic villain. He will always come up as the most badass villain over any survey anywhere.

Then comes Pinhead from Hellraiser. That dude is just evil He also looks badass too.

HK-47.
Query: What?

The Joker (Dark Knight)
The Devil (Reaper/Supernatural)
Sovereign (Mass Effect)
Anton Chigurh (No Country for Old Men)
