I don't want people to just post their favourite villains. I want people to discuss their choices. For instance what villains would be good against what Superhero's what villains do you love, ones that you can relate to. I hope this will attract the attention of some knowledgeable and enthusiastic villain lovers :D

Let me put some of mine on here.

Shocker is my favourite Spidey villain. I think they should do a film with Shocker personally, but I suppose people want the Green Goblin more so. The Lizard would be my 2nd favourite, with him though I like him because he is misunderstood. He is trying to help people, but because he tested on himself early it turned him into a creature, an animalistic creature. So arguably he isn't doing the things on purpose but instead running somewhat on animal instincts when he is the Lizard.

Games is a tough one. Seifer is probably my favourite from the Final Fantasy series. I felt like he was a little poisoned, I felt bad for him dying.

That's all I'm putting down for the time being. I just want to see what kind of attention this thread gets :D (Which I hope is a lot)

Oh, and please try to be nice on the thread haha. If you have differences of opinions (in the extreme sense) take it to PM's ^_^

Not really sure if anime is an option, but I'd like to put Broly down for being crazy awesome and also completely gloriously insane as he went about beating all the nancyboys to death with impossible strength.

Video games, favorite hero is Justice from Afro Samurai, just for being so badass but also for winning, in his own special way. (Yes, I played the Afro Samurai video game.)

Films, hmm. Probably Dracula from the newest Van Helsing, he's so misunderstood ;( Lol, but really he's just cunning, physically superior and very lol-dramatic.

I always liked Doc Oc from spiderman, just for combining brains with brawn and winning on both accounts.

Yeah Anime is on the list ^_^

If I were to choose from anime there are so many to pick from >.< I'll probably do a cross over type, and thus go with Bison :D From Street Fighter. Oh and Zodd from Berserk, oh and Akabane from Get Backers :p

I personally adore supervillains that are misunderstood. I am not sure why.

Other super villains I am sure people will soon say are...

- Joker

- Hannibal Lecter

- The Predator

- Xenomorph

Just some of the ones that come to my head instantly.

I don't think Xenomorph is a villain in your traditional sense, he is a monster if anything.

Like king kong, jaws and godzilla before It.

The Xenomorph is one of my favourite Movie(and game) monster.

I'll have a list up later.

Joker, the classic version.

Bane, both classic and nolan.

Mutherfucking Mr Freeze from Batman:TAS and Beyond.

I know the Xenomorph isn't a traditional film baddie.

I look forward to your list!

Yes Bane is a classic.

Mr. Freeze is an interesting choice, because he is motivated by his wife. Leading him to do things, I think a lot of villains have something that is driving them. I don't mean simple things like money or power, I mean something a little more profound.

Right, I'm only doing what is relevant to me ;).

here goes.

Video Games

Vaas(Far Cry 3) - What can I say? I love some insanity on the side with my villains. Vaas is kinda like Heath Ledger's joker, they are both very entertaining to watch and are scary if you place yourself in that situation(which you do in the games). He's not the main villain, but fuckin hell! he could've taken the whole story on his shoulders and be a badass main villain for the game. I doubt anyone would want to be captured by a guy even half as crazy as Vaas.

Pokey Minch(Mother Series) - Pokey, or "Porky" is an interesting character. Starting off as a annoyance than a villain, he is the neighbor of Ness, and eventually the Ruler of Pig City(If I can remember correctly). He's a major nasty bastard. Unleashing the true power of Giygas in Earthbound, killing both Lucas' mom and brother, and then forcing his dead brother to fight him? He's a major douchebag, but at the end, you feel sorry for him, in a pity kind of way.

Liquid Ocelot(MGS Series) - There's not much that needs to be said other than his boss battle is just fantastic. Anyone who's played MGS4 will understand, and thus he is on my list.


Films

Calvin Candie and Stephen(Django Unchained) - Leonardo as a great villain? you fuckin bet!!, both Leonardo and SLJ are scene stealers in this movie(Along side Jamie Foxx and Christoph). You should see this movie if you haven't, it's fantastic.

Top Dollar(The Crow) - I'm a big Crow Fan, always have been, it's a movie I can watch over and over again, and enjoy it more everytime. Micheal Wincott is amazing, on par with Brandon Lee to be honest.

Marvel

Thanos = The Mad Titan, I only need to point you to two sources for why I love Thanos. 1) the scene he slaps Hulk and 2) When he claims the Infinity Gauntlet and pretty much goes super fuckin crazy awesome :).

Carnage = Again I love Psychopaths, and Carnage being a great one, especially with a symbiote suit.


DC Comics

Darksied - He's DC's Thanos, and I like him too. I like to think he's the middle ground of Lex Luthor, and maybe Doomsday, Just as strong as Supes, but intelligent to go with it. Say what you want about Supes, but his rogue gallery is pretty cool too.

Deathstroke - OG Deadpool, only serious and a villain. what more can you love?


Anime

Pain(Naruto) - Okay, I'm no fan of Naruto, well not anymore but I still play the games. Pain was an interesting concept, from his history and personality, up to his abilities and skills that he implements when you fight him. One of his bodies manipulates Gravity, that's bad ass in my book. He does lose points for conveniently bringing everyone who died back to life. The writer could've done so much with him.

Father and the Homunculus(Fullmetal Alchemist) - one of my favourite animes, I do adore FMA:Brotherhood. Pride and Wrath stand out for me, I like the relationship they maintain, and how devious they can be.

Magneto is one that comes to mind. I think he certainly has one of the most interesting back stories out of the X-Men universe.

Also...

*SPOILERS*
The villain in the video game "Heavy Rain"(I can't remember his name atm). It totally caught me by surprise once I found out he was the serial killer.
*END SPOILERS*

I'll think of more later.

Films: Gotta love Disney villains! Hades, Cruella Deville, Ursula, Gaston...some of my favourites ;)
