Seconded. Superman/boy Prime, but only because the stupid emo retard killed Superboy, the stupid jock retard. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 353 Joined: 23 Apr 2008    | 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. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1129 Joined: 11 Dec 2007   | 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. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1268 Joined: 14 Oct 2007    | 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. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 360 Joined: 5 Mar 2008   | 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. |
On the Record  Posts: 5973 Joined: 7 Feb 2008  | 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. |

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. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 373 Joined: 14 Aug 2008   | 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 |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1282 Joined: 1 Jun 2008  | 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. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2951 Joined: 21 May 2008  | Tyler Durden in Fight Club. He takes nihilism to an evil side. Now before you say: "Those guys don't have any superpowers, except Satan". Let me reply you with this. Your precious Joker does not have any Superpowers either. |

By the end of the seventh novel you figure out truly WHY Flagg is so damn pissed at Roland and it all makes sense. Macbeth - What a great end to a great villain. Lucifer from "Paradise Lost" - The arrogantly bold speech he gives to his array of fallen angels in the beginning shows that John Milton can rival the greats he is not rightfully placed beside in terms of literary significance and power.

Paperboy Posts: 33 Joined: 23 Aug 2008 | i think darth vader is pretty badass. i wouldn't say heath ledger's joker is quite the supervillain, he slathered it with too much realism to make it a "super" villain. he's still fucking awesome though. but the joker in particular has to be the best villain. just read the killing joke... every time the joker said something i literally came in my pants. |

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?
