Greatest Villian of All Time (You Decide)

[Templetroll]

Literature

Sauron
Iago
Thomas Covenant

Comics

Joker (the movie did it right, he had to die)
Dr. Doom
Gorilla Grodd (I love comics with apes on the cover!)

TV

USA Network (for what they did to Forever Knight)
Jerry Springer
Aaron Spelling (Anti-hero?)

Movies

Count Rugen

The Wicked Witch of the West

Darth Maul was ill-used; he was a toy idea that was never made into a proper villian.

I'm just basing my answer on D&D villains....since this is a D&D Messageboard.

VECNA, hands down.

If anyone doubts it.....go play the module Vecna Lives.

Re: I know where my money is at...

'Other' is going to totally spank the competition...

If at all possible, I would actually have used my vote to vote against Sephiroth. Talk about overrated. The guy wears a black trenchcoat, carries a cool sword, has long hair and a bad attitude. Oh, yeah, and no personality. Hehe. In terms of strictly Final Fantasy villains, ol' Seph ranks extremly low on my list.

On a lighter note, how did Maul make the poll, yet Vader is nowhere to be seen? Blasphemy!

Actually that was a mistake I made, and didn't realize until after I posted.

Thomas Covenant

Hmmmm....

It's been a while since I read the books, but I'm sure he was the hero.....reluctant anti-hero, maybe....but I have no clue how someone could mistake him for a villain.

I think you guys are right, maybe this list was to limmited, maybe some one could make a better list, to better represent the accuracy of oppinion, kinda don't feel like embarrasing myself with a second below par list.

On the other hand, I can't see how anyone could mistake him for a hero in any sense. Anti-hero at the very best.

I suspect in most DnD games if the PC's ran into someone abusing people, who said it was ok, since the people he was abusing were not real, they'd treat him as a villain.

Dunno, I kind put it at tie between Belsameth and Mormo.

 

[Valicor]

Who here wants to give a vote that I created one of the worst villan polls of all time.

I Vote, terrible attempt at a poll.

 

[Nightfall]

Hate to say Val but this is a pretty lousy poll.

Hey lesson's in humilaty are an imoprtant part of life, so it is a painful learning experience. My spelling is also rather painful for reader much of the time.
