Best/Favourite SciFi/Fantasy Villain

[WarriorMouse]

Viewers did give it a chance; it was the network that killed it by randomly releasing episodes regularly out of order. It was well received.

So, Just like Fox did with Firefly then!

Ohh, there's a few favourites. Mr Wint and Mr Kidd from Diamonds are Forever for their one liner double act. Obadiah from Sharpe from being a complete nutter. Ratched and Umbridge for being sugary-sweet villains that you just hate.

Avon I don't see as a villain. He does things that are morally dubious and he's untrustworthy, but he 's been put into a situation where he's trying to survive; and you don't survive if you put others first.

Best villain of all is Dick Dastardly, a villain so inept ,yet so persistant that you want to see him come out on top just once

Obadiah from Sharpe from being a complete nutter.

Obadiah was a nutter but I thought that Colonel whats his name was far worse a villain than Obadiah. Mainly because the Colonel was a total coward as well as evil.

Scorpius from Farscape, and Q from STNG, were my favourite "bad" guys. They were not evil or overly sadistic bad guys, but had an irresistible charm that was totally beguiling.

Count Olaf!!

In the Warhammer 40 k universe , Horus.

Cybermen scared me more than the daleks.

The White Witch from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.

Cruella De Vil, from 101 Dalmations.

As an adult there has been numerous villains who give me the shivers but one really stands out Scott R Barker's Kellhus, he really does creep me out.

Ooh, thread resurrection. I think one of the best villains I've seen in the past few years was David Tennant's Kilgrave in season 1 of Jessica Jones. What I love about him is his absolute conviction that he's 100% right all the time. He doesn't see himself as a villain, and it's so chilling and so wonderfully done.

 

[The Big Peat]

Off the top of my head, its probably the Moidart from David Gemmell's Ravenheart/Stormrider. Chilling composure, openly malevolent, seemingly in control of everything, and big style points.

I always shuddered at Evil Edna (the walking television witch) from Willo the Wisp Willo the Wisp - Wikipedia

 

[Luiglin]

Lord Foul from the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant and Shadwell from Weaveworld. The former, a character of hatred left always in the shadows, a presence felt more by his minions and machinations than he himself. The latter, a well written character that starts out as a sidekick and ends up as the main piece.

Agreed, he's terrific villain. He reminds me a bit of Suaron in LOTR.

 

[Ian Fortytwo]

Gollum, from The Lord of the Rings, or Smaug from The Hobbit, of course there are the myriad of Orcs/Goblins from either. And then there is Sauron.

Burke, Carter J. He'd screw his own grandmother over for a percentage.

And he got his comeuppance at the hands of one of his creations.
