Favorite "I am a bad Mo-Fo" villain

[Stone Angel]

In spirit with the I am evil campaign.

What villian has done something that you just dropped your jaw, cursed, and if you were there would have soiled yourself.

First off Lord Soth: Lord Soth is probably the scariest villian of all time for me. I just picture this huge knight walking toward me with heavy steps, stomping, if you will, eyes like the pit of the abyss, great sword drawn, bits of rot and decay falling from the seams in his charred armor, and the perpetual stench of seared flesh, and he is unescapable....relentless.

Anyway the part that he is a total BA is in Knight of The Black Rose. When the dragons come to life and he just utterly destroys them.

Julius from Pulp Fiction not alot to say here I just know that I would not want to go up against him in a gun fight.

When Mola Ram ripped out that dude's heart in Temple of Doom, lowered the guy who was still alive into the fire pit, and then the still-beating heart caught on fire as he died? When I was 7, that was like the badassest thing I'd ever seen. It's still up there.

Dr. Evil.

He's so evil, it's in his name. Think about that.

This one's easy...

Shaft. You see this cat, Shaft, is one bad mother f...
SHUT YOUR MOUTH
Hey, I'm just talking 'bout Shaft...

Or else maybe Samuel Jackson. He's a pretty bad dude too. He won't have anything in his house that can't make him a sandwich or wipe it's own butt.

That's a rather easy one.

When I was much younger, I'd say that G.I. Joe's Cobra Commander, MOTU's Skeletor, & Thundercats' Mumm-Ra were the greatest uber-villains in my book.

As for now, looking on the present & past, I'd have to say these guys:

• Thulsa Doom from Conan the Barbarian to the list--just for his sheer, dispassionate cruelty.
• The Joker, particularly as depicted in The Killing Joke. What the guy will do to make a point....
• Saruman, from LotR (the books primarily). Joins the winning side, creates an army for that purpose, has designs of his own, then after his major defeat, he still wreaks havoc on the Shire.
• Grima Wormtongue--for me, he really defines the self-interested politician.
• Leatherface. Nothing says twisted like a skin-wearing cannibal who sees people as just another sort of livestock....

Pretty much some of the big emissaries of evil for me....

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Pfft...easy.

Darth Vader. "Your lack of faith disturbs me."

C'mon! No contest!

 

[Kai Lord]

Pfft...easy.

Darth Vader. "Your lack of faith disturbs me."

Even better than that is Vader's response to the question, "What if someone just walks up and shoots him?" when Han faces him on Cloud City.

Or later on when he fights the whole first portion of the lightsaber duel against Luke one-handed.

Yep, Vader was one bad mother.

 

[Dirigible]

Scorpius.

When we first see him, walking though the gammak base all in black leather, he turns to glance at Crichton, and says quiet casually... "That man is an imposter." Wonderful. You cannot keep secrets from him.

When he's captured Crichton and has removed the neural chip, leaving Crichton unable to speak, helpless and in Scorpius' power. "I sentance you, John Crichton... to live!" Chilling. You are so irrelevant to him, that he can afford to ignore you completly from this point on.

 

[Dark Jezter]

Another vote for Thulsa Doom here.

From the moment he first removes his helmet at the beginning of the movie, you know that there is something inhuman and unnatural about him. As the movie goes on, it becomes more and more apparant that he is a being incapable of compassion or mercy. He is a demon in human skin.

Which does nothing but illustrate how badass the Emperor is. After all he conquered an entire galaxy, and Vader was his whipping boy. If not for a bit of overconfidence and treachery he’d still be running things today!

I think I’ll go with Melkor/Morgoth though. Not only did he have Sauron (a pale imitation of true evil), the Balrogs, and as lackeys, he created orcs and trolls. Finally he conquered Middle-earth and it took the valar themselves to get rid of him, much more impressive them some old guy who gets tossed into a pit by his right hand man.
