[QUOTE="Synchronicity, post: 1791267, member: 10070"] My top three have all already been mentioned, but heck, if it ain't broke, why fix it? 1) Doctor Doom. He's just...[i]cool[/i]. Suit of powered armour? Check. Metal facemask, concealing (presumably) hideously scarred face? Check. Total megalomania, utter self-confidence and infinite sycophantic minions? Check. Able to spout lines dripping with cheese and actually make them sound menacing? Check. Pure genius. 2) The Joker. No superpowers, but a take on the world that's at right-angles to sanity. Incredibly dangerous, because other people have things they won't do. Even supervillains, because they're, well, sane. He isn't. There's no line he can't cross if he wants to, and nothing that he just won't do. He's unpredictable, he's illogical, and he's utterly, utterly mad. Doom, for example, is just a super-powered, hyper-intelligent megalomaniac. The Joker's *really* crazy. It's hard to say which is more dangerous. 3) Magneto. He honestly believes his way is the best, and events keep proving him right! Well..that's an exaggeration, but Magneto's take on humanity as fearful people wanting to wipe out mutants proves more often correct than Xavier's peaceful coexistence philosophy. Plus, he can hold off an entire team of people bent on taking him down. And while they're fighting, everyone has to ask the question - 'Am I *really* on the right side here?' In short, my choices come down to: 1) The stereotypical arch-villain, bent on world domination. There's always got to be one, and they're so much gosh-darn fun! 2) The madman, dangerous because of his utter insanity and lack of restraint. 3) The uncertain element; the villain who exists in shades of grey. Is he wrong? Is he right? Is he really a villain at all? There's a lot more to think about when fighting him than just how best to take him down. Just my 2 cents! [/QUOTE]
