17. Hal 9000

http://homepage.mac.com/jholbo/nutwork/images/Hal 9000.j

Hal 9000 is the brain of the spaceship Discovery in Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Hal is the quintessential villain because of his alien nature. Hal is completely non-human. As a machine, he has no face and any methods of violence against him/it would not work in the traditional humanocentric sense. Hal has inspired dozens of villains since he first started killing the Discovery's crew.

20. Chairface Chippendale
(The Tick)

Tired of being laughed at and mocked because he has a chair for a face, Chairface decides to make sure everyone respects him, by carving his name into the moon!
He only got as far as CHA before the Tick stopped him, but his legacy lived on through most of the cartoon series.
And nothing says evil like carving your name on the moon.


Can you guys tell me where some of these characters are from? I have no idea what book/ movie/tv show some of these guys are from.

Also...apparently the one nomination per day means nobody wants to nominate the truly big guns like Star Wars baddies, and eventual winner Darth Vader. Perhaps you should just throw them in yourself?

21. Megatron

Megatron is considered by many to be the greatest leader the Decepticons ever had. He transforms into an Earth hand gun. In the cartoon he could fit in the hands of other Decepticons and in the comics he could fit in the hands of humans. In both the cartoon and comics his robot mode was the size of a large Decepticon. Megatron's arch nemesis is Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots.

Quotes:

- "Peace through Tyranny."

- "Die Autobots!"

- "Such heroic nonsense."

- "You're an idiot Starscream."

22. Randall Flagg

Since it is after 7:00 p.m. 24 hours later, I guess I can nominate a new villain.


Here goes:

Randall Flagg

Randall Flagg is Nyarlathotep. He goes by a multitude of names, including Ahaz, Anubis, Legion and R'lyeh. His attire is purely ordinary: a dark hooded sweater, faded blue jeans and worn-out boots. He wears buttons on his sweater: a peace sign, a smiley face, a "CK" button and a button with an eye on it. Flagg is the oldest wizard, a necromancer in fact. He has vague memories of having been a marine, a KKK member and being a member of the group who kidnapped Patty Hearst. He is the "Ageless Stranger." He is the quintessential villain.

23. Mr. Burns

Charles Montgomery Burns acquired his status as the Most Despised Man in Springfield the old-fashioned way: he earned it. As the evil overlord of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, Burns tirelessly pursues ever greater wealth and power through the exploitation of his hapless workers and the destruction of the local environment. A few of his more notable accomplishments include: offering a free beer policy to his employees in place of their dental plan; impersonated a hipper, Wavy Gravy, in order to sink a Greenpeace boat; and blocking out the sun.

“Oh, ‘meltdown.’ Its one of those annoying ‘buzzwords.’ We prefer to call it an unrequested fission surplus.”

Since I am not getting the response that I expected, I am gong to relax the voting rules. You can nominate up to 2 villains per 24 period.


Get those villains posted!
