[QUOTE="Aexalon, post: 1793731, member: 16283"] [b]Sw[/b] hm... Super-villains... I'll stick to my top-2, who actually don't work very well without eachother. #2: Lord Vader. The ruthlessness ("Asteroids do not concern me!"), the arrogance ("Pray I do not alter [the plan] any further..."), the stick-behind-the-door ("I hope so for your sake, commander... The Emperor is not as... forgiving as I am"). This contrasts sharply with his redemption through taking out the #1, making him one of the most loveable villains out there. #1: Darth Sidious. In the words of #2: "What is thy bidding, my master..." Palpatine takes much of his credibility from the fact that Vader swears fealty to him. Yet, his own accomplishments should not be wiped under the carpet. Through careful, decade-spanning manipulation, he managed to secure not mere total world domination, but total galactic domination. Pure, unadulterated malice. The fact that, in the end, he failed through overconfidence is just icing on the cake that is the supreme villain. [/QUOTE]
